Great customer service. The best, most moist, crave worthy gluten free blueberry muffin I have ever had. I absolutely loved eating it. And will be dreaming of that muffin. Chai tea was tasty, no up-charge for soy milk is awesome.

Clean seating areas, clean bathrooms. Food is amazing as always. As a celiac, I love that I can get a gluten free bun. I've never gotten sick eating here (gluten wise). Coming from MN this is a must stop!

Really enjoyed this place! Lots of gluten free options - baked goods and substitutions. The staff is knowledgeable and even had a binder of laminated menu items with their allergy items listed. The GF lemon bar was excellent and my son enjoyed the Krispy treat. Highly recommend!

Good mix of good coffees and juices. And glad they have gluten free bread for sandwhiches. Iced tea would be a nice addition to the menu

The spicy tuna sandwich (gluten free bread) is amazing, and their juices are always good. Four stars tho because I cannot for the life of me figure out why they insist on using Frappuccino lids for their juices. It’s not like you get whipped cream on top. These lids are especially a disaster if you order juice and food and have it delivered - The juice spills all over. Lid rant aside, this place is the bomb.
