Went for brunch and had the broccoli and cheddar sandwich which was great. We also got the French toast which was just one slice of toast and didn’t really have much to it, wouldn’t order it again. Prices actually aren’t that bad considering the health push. One of the workers, maybe the manager or supervisor however was very intense with us and really should not have been doing customer service. We asked about waffles because it said it on a sign in the store and she barked back at us that they don’t have any and never did, she was just rude. Bizarre but still okay.

Great blueberry muffins, coffee was very strong, cauliflower fried race was excellent, avocado toast with poached egg a little bland. Entire menu gluten free with friendly and knowledgeable staff. They haves small seating area with grab and go options.

I went here for breakfast. Everyone was very happy with the fritattas- even those that weren't gluten free. I also had a cinnamon muffin- which I loved, but my husband thought was odd. The drinks are awesome and the smoothies are delicious. I would eat here every day if I lived in Philly!

I had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was hands down the greatest panini I've ever had. Have them warm it up for you, you'll thank me.

This place is absolutely AMAZING. I stopped by this place for breakfast and was told by the manager that all the food there was gluten free. The options seem endless and I felt like a little kid in the candy store trying to decide what I wanted. They also have awesome vegetarian options which is hard to come by when being GF too! I ordered their kale and ricotta frittata and it was delicious. I took a couple other goodies for home to try later because I just couldn't decide! I would HIGHLY recommend this place. Two thumbs up!

Absolutely amazing! We are vacationing from out of town, I called 15 minutes before closing time (without realizing) they happily got my order ready and delivered it to my hotel!! I ordered the spaghetti squash with meatballs and honestly wish I ordered two, so fresh tasting, delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend stopping here if you want great customers service and awesome food :) I am in fact stopping there before we leave tomorrow to get meals to take with me home :)

Visiting area and just happen to be walking by with my family. Googled it and saw that all the food was GF. The food, atmosphere, and staff were terrific! Very enjoyable and laid back. I had a juice and a sandwich. I also had a bite of soup that was really delightful. Can't wait to go back. Also they have a Mediterranean restaurant as we'll, Agno, shich is also GF.

There are several completely grain-free options, including a flatbread made from cauliflower and almond meal. Delicious!! Also, as another reviewer said, the staff really knows their stuff.
