First time at Apteka, visited during Crapteka event. I knew ahead of time they have a huge following and get very busy. I arrived at 4:10 (opens at 5) and there was already a line started outside the door. Was impressed at the large number of people willing to stand out in the cold to eat here. Once inside, I loved the model of ordering as soon as you enter and they bring the food out pretty quickly. We had swamp burger, uncle burger, fries w: all the sauces, a chocolate sunflower milkshake and a pistachio sunflower milkshake. All the food was soooo good!! As a regular meat, gluten, and dairy eater it blew my mind how good the food was! Can’t wait to go back and try the regular menu.

Food was decent but largely overpriced, they have a small menu, and even smaller if you want take out. Not at all gluten free friendly either. There was even then still almost an hour wait to be seated, and it's super crammed like right beside random people crammed. Absolutely zero desire to ever go back there.
