Great staff, very knowledgeable in all types of food allergies. Make sure to specify you have celiac and they are extremely accommodating when it comes to cross contamination. Had the vitality bowl with GF granola and the sirloin panini(GF) bread. Very good. The owner, Brian, is extremely nice and friendly.
Review
Very knowledgeable about all food allergies and can make most anything gluten free. They use dedicated work spaces and cookware/utensils to avoid any cross contamination. Açaí bowls are amazing. They also have coffee, tea and hot cacao based drinks that are creative and delicious. In a major strip mall so parking is easy. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Gluten free granola on bowls, gluten free bread for paninis, although I'm not sure if they share the press, I usually just get a bowl. Gluten free cookies up front, individually wrapped.
Review
They take allergy issues very seriously. My daughter has Celiac and has been been very safe eating here. They offer acai/fruit bowls, sandwiches, salads, coffee, kombucha, cookies.

Review
Allergy conscious! Excellent variety and flavor. Dedicated panini press and all of the ingredients are kept separate- gluten-free utensils and prep areas.
This franchise was started because the owner’s daughter has such extreme allergy reactions and they wanted a place that was safe and healthy.

Review
Açaí bowls are safe to order gluten free, but I wouldn’t eat anything else here. The paninis are made on the same equipment, but they use wax paper. I don’t think that’s safe for a celiac. I would stick to açaí bowls only here.
