Drove from Kansas City, Mo just to check this place out. I am celiac and loved all the options I had. Got the cauliflower tiki masala and it was delicious. Server asked if I needed GF or celiac safe. Made me feel comfortable eating there. Will definitely be returning soon.

Lovely shop hidden away serving a wide range of drinks. They have gluten free and regular bakery items. The place looks tiny on first look but entertaining it just keeps going with multiple side rooms. Giving a private quiet feeling.

I'm not health conscious or gluten free so it's not the place for me, I was with other people who are so for me I would prefer IHOP or something.

This café features a modern, spacious dining room with indoor and outdoor seating, creating a fun and inviting atmosphere. While gluten-free options like bread are available, the lack of a dedicated gluten-free preparation area and inconsistent allergy accommodations suggest caution for those with strict gluten sensitivities.

Not a true gluten free menu, owner put down the waitress who was absolutely knowledgeable and extremely friendly to compensate for his lack of proper information regarding allergy menu. His menu offers gluten free options but there is not dedicated side for grill or toaster. It should be properly changed to gluten friendly. This can truly harm true Celiacs. Owner was absolutely rude and shook his head at having my order sent back even adding comments to other customers about allergies.

The pastries are so unique I wish we could have tried them all. You have to give the za’atar bagel a try as well as the baklava cheesecake. If you have dietary restrictions (vegan or gluten free) the staff know all the ingredients and can point you in the right direction. I was told a few items were gluten free (ie an oatmeal cookie, and the financiers) but you’ve got to ask! The coffee was also the best so far in Lawrence after trying a few places on Mass St. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!

This was one of the cutest coffee shop I have ever been to .I love the outdoors seating and the little forest corner. The music they were playing outside was just right, not loud or obnoxious. The people running the business are super nice and welcoming. Love the variety of drinks and food (including gluten free options).

Kind and attentive service and delicious food. I’ve been to this location several times and always have a positive experience. They are great about letting me know what I can order/adjust for gluten and dairy allergies. I tried the Southwest Salad with the Dill dressing (gf/df) yesterday and it was so fresh and yummy!

Forgot to take photos of our food because we ate it so quickly. We ordered an array of items, everything was excellent. From the adult beverages to the cup of soup, arepa, breakfast potatoes/ eggs/ green chile + red chile.. fantastic. As a gluten free (not celiac) vegetarian, married to a vegetarian, we were shocked by how many options we had on the menu. We were surprised to have no wait to sit, good service, and most shocking of all - how affordable it was. We will be back any time we visit Lawrence.
