gluten free cafe and bakery!!!

I personally had a great experience here, especially as someone who can’t eat gluten - here’s what you should know. I personally think everything is very consistent, but the sweet treats are where they really shine. Bacon and eggs both tasted good and high quality, but very obviously not the most fresh. The guava pao de queijo really surprised me, its gluten free and filled with a smooth, sweet guava jam on the inside. The taste teleported me back to the same satisfying taste of some guava cookies I ate in Costa Rica. The WAFFLES. They’re mochi waffles and they’re gluten free, I couldn’t get enough of them. The matcha was nice and soothing, a perfect way to top off the meal.

Beautiful decorations and lively but comfortable seating, the music was awesome. We had the drunken noodles, pad Thai, a sushi dish, appetizers, as well as spicy marg and a lovely drink called persephone. Reserving was easy, food wqs made very well (great options for spice level, vegan, gluten free etc.), we did not wait long to have great food and leftovers to enjoy. Came for a chill and wonderful celebrating occasion and had. an amazing time, I even had a separate problem after my reservation I had misplaced a belonging I found later on, still the staff and owner were so kind and quick to help me look. long live the mad monkfish, have been coming and ordering for years and always enjoy

It is very busy at noon on weekdays, but there is no shortage of seats. It feels like everyone is enjoying their leisure time amidst the noise. The food is delicious, there is a gluten friendly menu, there is no vegan food (you can adjust it yourself without adding anything), and you can't just make egg white.

Negligent with allergies!!! I explained I have gluten and dairy allergies which was written on the ticket and the person preparing the food was handling bread and immediately touched my food without changing gloves. If I hadnt looked up as it happened I would have gotten severely ill. I pointed it out and explained again that it's a severe allergy and would need them to change gloves and they still tried to give me the same bowl. Definitely not safe for people with actual allergies!!!

Excellent service and very good quality of products, variety in gluten free. Recommended 😃😃😃

Morning caffeine was good. Could use more gluten free vegan options 😉

As SCRUMPTIOUS as all the baked goods are all are surpassed by the SWEETNESS OF MARCO! Went above and beyond to help me out. My off the boat elderly Irish aunt is DELIGHTED by the oatmeal currant scone, she raved about the sultanas in the pain aux raisins, she then went on to say "I couldn't possibly" about the pecan sticky bun but after a bite said she was glad she did. She is having me stay for dinner just so she can,eat the sticky bun in front of me to give me the play by play. For the gluten intolerant BOY HOWDY that brownie!

They do have gf bagels but they’re frozen and need to be toasted. However they don’t have a dedicated toaster for said bagels.

Good ice cream... some is lactate free or gluten free

Again and again we return to L.A. Burdick and are amazed. Got lucky this time. The district manager happened to be in the shop and guided us to some really fun chocolate covered citrus, apricot and mango. Beyond good! Teas and snacks were delicious, and I enjoyed an amazing gluten free baked dessert. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Donal Waide

Pretty decent food. Would return for some items. Chicken was juicy. Still curious are about a menu item, Gravity beer listed as "reduced gluten"

Atmosphere can be widely variable, depending on whether or not you drew the short straw. We were seated right away without a reservation on a Sunday around 1pm. There were several nicer tables available which is why we asked to be moved from the single DARKEST place in the dining room - right next to the bathroom. We were rewarded for asking with the single BEST seat in the house - upstairs, overlooking the front of the dining area. Reader, this is the brunch experience I was hoping for. Lots of natural light. Great spot to watch people from (you can even see out to the street and sidewalk). Not too loud on the upper level. It was a bit too chilly for outdoor seating. The food: My brunch date got a cortado with the burrata sandwich, noting the sourdough bread was exceptional. We both thought burrata - while wonderful - was a little too runny/drippy for sandwich format... but ideated about how to make it better. (Make it open face and poach an egg on top. Move it to the breakfast side of the menu.) I got the beet latte (hot) and it was tasty except the chocolate powder on top was an unhappy surprise. Next time, I will know to ask for no chocolate. What a strange combo: chocolate and beet. For food, I had the "beef and pickles" sandwich on gluten free bread. The gf bread held together pretty well and the mouthfeel was the okayest. It's not the amazing sourdough they have but it's a solid stand in. That pastrami / saurkraut / mustard / pickles palette is my jam, though, and this sandwich was great.

delicious🤩 although they don’t have gluten free options for pizza

I love the gluten-free and vegan options. There was a variety and also options for everyone with different dietary preferences. I couldn't eat the French toast but it looked amazing when my friend had it. Also that craft lattes or to die for.

Diamond Ho

Good selection of pastries. My partner really enjoyed their sandwich. Gluten free bread is dry and crumbly. If you are gluten free, don’t bother coming

Jeffrey Ohl

Good value Mediterranean fast casual. Many veggie and gluten free options, and your food will be ready in under ten minutes

Amanda Pettefar

Great coffee and the best gluten free bagel I’ve ever tasted!

Dan Hamilton

Dlorean Lemon-Riggs

The cutest vegan deli, with plenty of different options (all vegan!!). The cocktails are fantastic and as someone who used the eat the heck out of some meat, the food is fantastic!!! They even have plenty of gluten free options!

The food was very good, simple, perfectly cooked and seasoned and lots of it. I had an omelet that was cooked with a generous amount of vegetables and cheese and three tasty pieces of gluten free toast plus a large cappuccino. It was a great meal. The place is small, the wait staff are very kind and helpful, our food came quickly.

This is the best place to enjoy a gluten free brownie. Wow! I have been to a few places in Boston and nothing compares to the brownie I purchased here. It is so big! The taste is amazing, so fudgy! You would never know it’s gluten free! I have also had their chocolate cream pie during the holidays and you can request that to be gluten free. The pie was beyond amazing. I will definitely be making it a part of our holiday celebrations. Anyone who is gluten intolerant knows how hard it is to find a place with excellent gluten free bakery items. I’m happy to say I have found the perfect place. Thank you and thank you for always being so friendly and kind.
