This is a fast casual restaurant that makes bowls where you choose from bases (rice, kale, etc), veggies, proteins, and sauces and they scoop it out of the containers in front of you. The vast majority of their options are gluten free (marked as such) and they're very careful to make sure the serving spoons don't touch other ingredients. But, since they have a couple of items with gluten cross contamination is possible. FWIW I've never gotten sick after eating here.

Food is generally pretty good, tasty, generous portions. Also pretty healthy, and a good assortment of vegetarian and even vegan options.

They also serve shakes and smoothies. I've never had and am unsure if they contain gluten or if their blenders may be cross contaminated.

Was a bit unsure about this place at first. Only 1 review from 3 years ago. Their menu online didn't list their prepared options as gluten free or not. But their online menu did list individual ingredients for the build your own bowl as gluten free (almost all are). So I took the chance. Glad I did! I had no reaction and the food was good. We had it delivered so I can't speak to anything about the place itself, but I ended up with a good and safe meal. If you like the options, I'd say build yourself a bowl and gice it a try. I'd really like it if the "pre built" menu options were listed as gluten free or not. I might have tried a dessert then. If you eat in person, you could probably ask.
