My family and I went out of our way to try a new place. They couldn't cater to other allergies like dairy and eggs. Everything was pre prepared or gone. I ask if there was anything at all we can have and the answer was no. After stepping out of line I realized I they could of offered a cold brew or ice tea. I saw everyone drinking it and they even had almond milk options. At this point the line was extra long. I'm am not going here ever again. Not worth it if you have other allergies. But food looks delicious though.

We arrived just after 9, ordered at about 10, got our food at 10:15! They were out of cream puffs but that was the only thing we asked about that was “out” by the time we made it to the counter. I loved my black sesame latte, BEC breakfast sandwich and matcha basque cheesecake. My partner loved his spicy avocado toast. I cannot wait to dig into everything else I bought!! Definitely recommend lining up early at least for now. Fingers crossed they continue to be this well loved by the community, it’s the best GF bakery I’ve ever been to, I think.

LOVED IT HERE! Has the rhubarb scone, chocolate chip cookie and honey chili tuna melt on sourdough. One of the best gf meals I’ve had since getting diagnosed. Was delicious and so nice to have so many options!

Excellent gooey cinnamon roll. It was the only option left when I got there and so glad they still had that! Best I have had since going GF 20+years ago! Thank you and good luck with your business!

I visited on the first Friday Verveine was open around 9:45 and there was a long line that moved pretty slowly. They were sold out of baguettes and cream puffs and didn’t have kore available when I left at 11am. Seems like they are ramping up to meet the incredible demand.

I tried the carrot muffin, cheddar scone, Nutella roll, biscuit sandwich, and peanut butter miso cookie. All except the scone were excellent. The scone was oddly sweet and had a texture that would have been better warm. I cannot wait to try the rest of their menu.

Truly 10/10. On par with Modern Bread in Bagel in NYC for quality. They’ll probably be busy for the next few weeks since they just opened but I hope to get bread and pastries from here a lot!

So excited to have a local GF bakery that is THIS good.

The line was very long but it moved very quickly. When we got to the front we asked if it was safe for celiacs and it was!! They had a lot of options on the menu. I got the Jambon & Beurre. The food came fairly quickly. The bread was extremely good. It was nice, and had the right amount of crunch and fluff. The pickles were a good add even though I didn’t personally like it, it was a nice compliment. I think they could have added less butter but even though, it was still a very good sandwich! It’s a great place for people with celiac disease

Everything was GF and the food was excellent. Pricing seemed better than other GF bakeries too. I got 5 pasties, a breakfast sandwich, and a matcha for under $50.

This is my favorite gluten free restaurant in Boston! The cafe was packed when I went opening week but the staff handled the crowds so efficiently and I didn’t have to wait long for my food at all (I went during peak lunchtime hours).

I got the grilled cheese and a Funfetti cookie which were both amazing! I appreciate that their prices are reasonable for gluten free - my meal was under $20 which is less than I usually pay for lunch in the area.

Can’t wait to come back and try the salads and other sandwiches!

The full cafe/bakery experience with every pastry and type of sandwich under the sun - not just plain white bread. Baguettes, pita pockets, sourdough, biscuits… the list goes on. This place is heaven on earth.

I got the Hot Italian sandwich today. It was even better than I was hoping for. The sour dough ciabatta was not just a holder for the meat and cheese but an star ingredient. I Can’t remember the last time I really enjoyed a sandwich but I do know where the next one will come from!!

What an absolute delight to be able to eat at a “normal” bakery again where everything looks and tastes amazing and is safe! Totally appreciate the premise of not pushing that everything is gf to make it appealing to all, although the staff was ready to confirm and were to explain exactly what I can’t have with a nut allergy as well (mainly things already marked like peanut butter cookies, and they asked questions about cross-contamination risk when food sits next to something made with nuts). The BEC, potato leek focaccia and chocolate chip cookie were all insanely tasty and really felt like “normal” food, and I can’t wait to dig into my sourdough loaf! So grateful to this team for creating such an incredible spot

They don't advertise it but the staff confirmed that EVERYTHING (sandwiches, cookies, biscuits, etc) is gluten free and celiac safe!!! I tried the jambon beurre and hot Italian sandwiches, and both were delicious. I can't wait to go back! They also had bags of WLDFLR GF flour and GF granola available for sale.

Dedicated Gluten Free! Features breakfast and lunch menus, pastries, coffee/tea, bread and gluten free flour for sale. Verveine doesn’t go out of its way to advertise that it is gluten-free as the food is good enough that non-gluten-free visitors won’t be able to tell the difference!
