Despite being listed as celiac-friendly, this place is absolutely not safe for people with celiac disease. When I asked for a glove change, the staff told me there was “no point” due to cross-contamination on the counters and made no effort to accommodate. There is no dedicated appliance (toaster/panini press), and their attitude toward basic safety measures was dismissive at best. It’s very clear they do not understand or respect the precautions necessary for someone with celiac. Disappointed and would not recommend for anyone needing a medically gluten-free meal. Very disappointing, it was my favorite before becoming diagnosed.

First time having an Açaí bowl! It was yummy and great gluten and dairy free option in the Summer! The staff was helpful and nice to answer my questions while giving me a sample! My sister loved her smooths and my son loved his ice cream! Highly recommended!
