Specifically asked two girls at the counter if they had a gf toaster. They both said yes. I replied that’s surprising because most places use the same toaster. Then I notice my bread is in the shared toaster. Been waiting over a week for Sal to refund my money. Now he’s dodging me. Won’t eat here again.

This is the safest place in Tuscaloosa to eat if you have celiac in my opinion. If you tell them you have an allergy they will make your bowl separately in the back. The only thing that wasn’t at all safe were their toast options. They also accept bama cash which is AWESOME.

The facility had a separate toaster for the gluten free toast. The food was fantastic. We had toast, oatmeal, a acai bowl, and their protein bites. The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free needs and their menu.

Awesome find. Wasn’t on the Find me gluten app. It was in my nieces apartment building. Dairy and gluten free

I ate here a year ago and was fine. Today I ordered a bowl and was sick within a half hour, despite confirming with staff that they could accommodate celiac. I think all they did was swap out the regular granola for GF, and didn’t make any prep adjustments.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great staff who helped me out with gluten free options! I got the pick two: gluten free banana toast and a small açaí fruttata bowl without granola! Very yummy.

This place is fantastic. Staff was educated and extremely helpful. We had smoothies that were healthy and delicious. Hard to find on LBI where there is an ice cream polar on every corner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really good açaí bowls with gluten free granola! They made it in the back room too and with different gloves as to avoid cross-contamination. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy Açaí Bowl. I explained my allergy and they made my bowl in the back. My bowl passed the Nima test.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update: when inquiring about gluten free the girl stated we don’t do that anymore even though they have signage everywhere stating they do. While they have gluten free granola, they cannot promise no cross contamination. We are done going there.

In the past they made our bowls in the back to make sure there was no cross contamination. Today when they called us to pick up I just wanted to confirm they were gluten free and made in back. That was when she informed me that they no longer do allergy friendly bowls, but they do use gluten free granola. It would have been nice to know that before we ordered. So far we are not sick, but don’t think we are going back if they can’t protect from cross contamination.

While the bowls and bread are gluten free today I noticed they use the same toaster with other bread. When I asked I was told that was the only toaster and they had to refund me. So booo. Get a separate toaster.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

The staff is extremely friendly, happy to provide samples of their bases and review the nutritional content of their menu items.

Great go to for my Celiac girl! And she loves the bowls. The GF granola is tasty.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF granola toppings available for Acai Bowls for additional charge

The staff gave me regular granola after I explained I needed gluten free granola due to my allergy -celiac disease. They did not make it in the allergy section I assume and the manager after i called was ignorant. Stay away

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gluten free except some of the granola, but they do have a gf option. They prepare it in the back completely separate if you say you have an allergy/celiac. I’m extremely sensitive to cross contamination and have never had an issue. One of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Frutta! The Marlboro location is my favorite. They have a dedicated allergy Station in the back, they’re very cautious as long as you give them all the information on your allergies! They can substitute granola for gf granola which is a super good one too! They’re always very friendly 🙌🏼

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have great smoothie bowls here, with add ons such as gluten free granola. They are great with substitutions and you can even create your own if you'd like. They offer dairy free and soy free options as well. Highly recommend!

Yes
