Yadhira and Andy are AWESOME! We ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and they made sure to use separate gloves and a separate rack to bake the pizza. This place has the BEST gluten free vegan pizza ever. Also the salad was delicious. Great service, fun atmosphere! We will 100% go back!

Crushcakes is an absolute gem in our community. Their support of local events, like our pickleball fundraiser, shows just how much they care about the people around them. They are always welcoming, inclusive, and make everyone feel right at home. The iced matcha is one of my favorite go-to drinks, especially in the summer when you need something cool and refreshing. I also really appreciate their gluten free options. It's not always easy to find treats that taste amazing and still fit dietary needs, but Crushcakes nails it every time. They make sure no one feels left out, and that's something truly special.

The atmosphere is really nice. I came here to try the quiche and gluten free baked goods. The blueberry gluten free muffin was quite small and mildly flavored. I got a much bigger and better one at Helena Ave Bakery. I read the reviews raving about the quiche and I don’t get the hype. It’s a slice of a basic quiche. It’s nice the crust is gluten free but it was quite thick crust and the quiche was not freshly made…maybe it was fresh from the morning, I got there around 10:40am. But it was reheated and cold in the middle.

I chose Empty Bowl because most noodle places can accommodate vegans, but I discovered that they didn’t really have a dedicated vegan dish. I was craving rice noodles and veggies, and the staff was very accommodating. The person who took my order was patient and helpful when I requested no tofu and extra vegetables. However, I was disappointed with the dish I received. It was mostly noodles, with fewer vegetables than I would expect after requesting extra. The sauce was also much saltier than I prefer. They also didn’t have many gluten-free options, and when I asked about MSG, the person taking my order wasn’t sure if it was used in the food. Since I prefer to avoid MSG, this was a concern for me. I do like the community atmosphere of the food court, as it’s nice to have options that cater to both me as a vegan and my husband, who isn’t. However, the space was quite tight, and with sports games playing, it was louder than I’d prefer. A little more quiet and space between restaurants would enhance the experience.
