Top 5 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots to Enjoy in Howe, Minneapolis

We came on a weekday for lunch and it wasn't crowded at all. The outdoor semi-covered patio in the back was super nice and the food was wonderful. Gluten friendly items are clearly marked on the menu, and there is cross contamination. Buffalo cauliflower and vegan ranch was to die for! I also had the curry with cauliflower rice and chicken and it was super tasty.

What a fantastic neighborhood coffee shop and eatery! I ordered a lavender latte made with house-made lavender syrup, paired with a breakfast quesadilla - breakfast options are served all day. The menu is straightforward, offering homemade soups, salads, burritos, wraps and sandwiches. If I had to choose a word or two to describe the food offerings, it would be QUALITY INGREDIENTS. The bakery case is filled with tempting pastries, from scones to coconut macarons, including gluten-free options. They also offer a selection of wine and local beers, along with drinks like kombucha and coconut water, house made lemonade and teas and of course, espresso-based drinks with a few house espresso based specialty drinks like an orange blossom latte. The quality of the coffee and espresso is excellent—it's fair trade, carbon negative, and truly embodies the F.R.C. ethos: Fresh, Local, Independent, with a "tiny footprint." The café also supports local artists, featuring a monthly rotating exhibit on the walls, with pieces available for purchase directly from the baristas. They offer a great selection of merch, including t-shirts, coffee mugs, and retail coffee, house made granola as well as artisan-made candles and earrings from locals. The seasonal patio is a delightful spot to enjoy your meal, play a little foosball, or just relax. The staff is warm and welcoming, making this Longfellow neighborhood treasure a must-visit. Five stars for this inclusive gem!

The server said that the injera is partly wheat and not all teff. That indicates a lower quality and customers should be told without asking. I am sensitive to wheat, not just gluten. Good veggie plate. The rest of the options were all beef. We were told that no seafood dishes were available. We didn't ask for plastic straws, but the server brought them. The take home boxes are plastic. The restaurant should change that, given the world’s plastic problem.

Have been coming here for years(since middle school!!), never disappoints. I get bread, juice, cookies, brunch(my go to is the omelet), pre prepared sandwiches. I will always recommend this if I’m in the area. I also have a massive collection of the turtle decorations they sell. They also have gluten free cookies. I can’t guarantee celiac friendly because I’ve never asked though. Me and my friends go here all the time when we get together.
