Shitake fried rice with chicken was amazing. Best fried rice of my life. Awesome Thai iced tea. And the taro mochi was a fantastic way to close the meal. Very gluten-free friendly. Would give more stars if i could. 🥰

I haven't been to this spot since it was Pinocchio's, so it has been a while. At Johnny's we had great food. They were very accommodating to our group's food allergies and we were pleased to see gluten-free pasta options or alternatives. We'll be back!

I’ve been coming to Share Coffee in Amherst since they open! Love the Baristas , the Espresso, the gluten free baked goods and the Matcha…. Did I say Matcha… well, here is where things got weird. I make matcha at home, and I use the traditional Chasen (the matcha wisk) to mix and foam this delicious japanese green tea. Today I see my lovely Barista putting the matcha powder into an OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker (!!!) she proceeded to vigorously shake the green liquid… the result: a clumpy mess where half of the mixture stayed stuck to the walls of the SALAD dressing container. Who’s idea was to change the way they mix my matchas? Please bring the whisks back and stop this non-sense!

Loved that their fryer is Gluten Free! Had the GF fish and chips and tried my husband's fried chicken tenders. Both were great! Also really enjoyed the beet and arugula salad with roasted pecans. We ate on the nice outdoor deck!

Came here for the first time last night for my birthday with my family. I wanted something fun, but also easeful and low key, so we came early, at 5:30 (it was a Saturday night). It was just perfect. Our server, Isaac, was lovely and attentive. None of us were drinking alcohol, but he helped us by offering a refreshing mango-seltzer option. The food was delicious — everyone was extremely satisfied with their meals. Corn tortillas were warm and soft, and the beans and rice that comes with every meal were the best I’ve had in a long time. Three of us are gluten free, and there’s plenty to choose from on the menu. All in all, a great meal - I highly recommend this place.
