If you are gluten free and you haven’t gone to Josephine GF, you’re doing yourself a serious disservice! I got several items and the cranberry small loaf and breakfast waffle were probably my favorite. Quite honestly I ate half of what I got before I even made it home. Highly highly recommend!!

I recently visited Truefood, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the variety of options, catering to both health-conscious eaters and those with specific dietary needs. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for something light and tasty, Truefood has something for everyone. Overall, Truefood is a top-notch restaurant that I highly recommend. If you're looking for healthy, delicious, and beautifully prepared food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon

I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick. On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu. I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries! On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*! Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference! We will be back!!

Splurge - worth it. Have ordered through Postmates for self and work meeting. Always a big hit. Love the options for gluten free bun or place on mixed greens.

I haven't been to NYC, but this is what I imagine the classic NY bagel to feel and taste like. Tough exterior. Chewy, gluten-y interior. Love the classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, but my favorite is Nova + CC. They also have pepper salmon, too! One unique thing they do upon request (and is an option when ordering through Toast) is scooping out some of the bagel interior. This seemed odd when I first learned about this option, but then realized that it was SUPER helpful. The bagels can be tough to bite through and, in the process, cause the ingredients to slip out the back. I typically order ahead when I come here. There is a line out the door here at basically all hours a day, which confirms how good it is! At present during COVID, the allow 2 people at max in the store at one time, which means that there is quick a large crowd on the sidewalk out front. There are two dedicated pick up parking spots immediately adjacent to the sidewalk out front, thought, so pick up and go is seamless. My only complaint about my experience here: the coffee cups are awful. I ordered a large coffee recently and, by the time I got home, I lost more than half of the coffee; each time I grabbed it, the top popped off and the cup collapsed. Coffee spilled out the side the first time but then fell to the ground the second. Ugh.
