The BEST gluten free everything bagel I’ve had in a longgggg time. Get yourself over here if you also can’t have gluten - you won’t regret it!! Iced Oatmilk latte was also delicious!

BEST vegetarian bahn mi I’ve ever had. I have tried spicy lemongrass gluten and tofu mushroom, but I’m sure the curry bean curd is just as amazing. The service is also great, so sweet and patient even when there’s a long line. I’ve also never had to wait long for my foot even when it’s busy.

Love this place. Brunch is the best for the Brats and Eggs. They always have an interesting game brat option, and it is always delicious. The beer selection is great, and they have good gluten free food options for my wife.

Mela has a wonderfully warm and cozy atmosphere and really great service. Chef Adiam was so kind which somehow made our beef tibs and vegetarian platter taste even better. The platter was vibrant and the gingered cabbage and salad were just as delicious as the misir wat and yellow lentils. The standout was the vegan and gluten-free Tef Chocolate Cake, made with tef flour and layered with tasty Bavarian cream. I will be coming back for this dessert!

This is Central American food at its finest. The California spin is even better. Vegan, gluten free, etc. Options are available, and delicious. I'll be coming here for lunch often.

Such a cute restaurant! We couldn't decide so we got one slice of each pie they had for sale today. So delicious!! I love the way they mixed classic pie flavors with new ones I've never had before. You can eat your pie while eating board games upstairs or eat outside. Locally sourced, fresh produce. Everything is labeled with common dietary things like dairy and gluten. They have way more than pie on their menu too! Will definitely have to come back for brunch sometime!! Love this place!
