We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

This review is for the street level fast food restaurant storefront specializing in chicken nuggets. The gluten friendly chicken nuggets were excellent--little chunks of real chicken (not processed) cooked to a juicy light golden brown. The french fries were good. The little bags that the chicken and fries came in was foil lined, so I imagine that would be great for keeping take out orders warm on a chilly night. The staff who took my order at the counter were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere rating is a 3 because the tables were dirty and the seating area needed tidying up.

There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!

Kendra Weatherell

Wonderful meal, friendly staff & gluten free options available. Coffee was amazing!

Lilly Sellati

I love browsing through the used books (mostly literary fiction and popular histories) with a cup of spiced chai latte. The indoor and outdoor seating areas are comfortable and well lit, if packed during the lunch rush. I'm less enthusiastic on the food front: the gluten free sandwiches are way too expensive given that they're made on udi's bread. For almost $10, I want something made in-house.

The soup is delicious. It was heated up on a stove, not microwaved. Three of the daily soup were gluten free.

Used to be one of my favorite coffee stops in new haven :( Im not sure if its due to the opening of the second location or the switched focus to being a brunch spot but this place has seriously gone downhill. This location is either overpopulated or understaffed. constantly a line out the door and staff ushering you to the full service dining area. Much less vegan/gluten free baked goods on rotation than they used to have. The coffee has fantastic potential as it is made with different GIV beans (a local roaster) that have both great blends and single origins. however due to the franticness of the staff, syrups in lattes remain unstirred, turkish coffee is much weaker than before, teabags stay in when you order tea and often break in your togo cup, and the espresso the last few times i got it had a strong metallic taste. The prices have gone up a lot (as has everywhere) but are now more in line with a midclass brunch spot than a coffee shop who has snacks and breakfast options. unfortunately the food isnt on par with the price and youre better off going to bellas across the way. (theyll both have lines out the door) truly sad as staff used to be so welcoming and the atmosphere and decor and couches make you want to stay all day! Would only go back to purchase whole beans sadly

The New Haven location is one of my favorite spots to go for breakfast, lunch, or anything in between. Andrew is extremely kind and helpful, making the entire experience a delight. I am constantly thinking I have found my favorite thing on the menu and then I try something new, and the cycle starts all over! I am also celiac and they have a great selection of gluten free options. I couldn't recommend Life Bowls enough.

Courtney Yotter

So. Freaking. Cute. I love the local art and the passion of the staff. One of their employees MAKES the macrons! If that's not the intersection of support and community, I don't know what is. Great chill vibe, convenient location, and just a wonderful place. You can tell people like to hang out and study or chat. Also gluten free options are plentiful. Will definitely be returning soon!

This might be my favorite store of all time. They have amazing hot food, great snacks (gluten free and keto friendly) and very friendly staff. Must visit while in New Haven.

Marla Darius

Interesting little place in New Haven. Unique inside with a bank vault storing wine. Attentive servers and great menu. The four of us each enjoyed our different dishes of meat lovers pizza, gluten free pasta w shrimp, seared salmon and steak salad. Drinks were also good and well made. Biggest complaint is the noise level. The music speaker sounded blown with much humming and crackle for all bass noise and then as the place filled from 6:15-8 pm it became too noisy to hear people next to me. We eventually left and sat outside to visit. Might dine here again but won’t go on a Friday or during peak dining.

Got some nice gluten free tapas. Very enjoyable

Danielle Eaton Hart

Pricey but far better than fast food. They have a few options that are egg free, dairy free, and even gluten free though they can't guarantee it's safe for those with Celiac's disease.

Cynthia Paquette

Ordered smoothies for the office crew today. The variety of smoothies, sandwiches and wraps pleased everyone's tastes. The Island Green was the smoothie favorite while the Chipotle Chicken Club and Caribbean Jerk Chicken were amazing. For those with Gluten allergies they were very accommodating with a grilled chicken bowl with a tangy sauce that was delicious. I recommend Tropical Smoothie Café for a quick great tasting healthy lunch for those on the go.

Sean Baldwin

Great service and solid selection. I look for gluten free items, and they have floorless chocolate cookies, a fantastic granola bar and sandwich bread which I have yet to try.

Connie Steel

Donut Crazy specializes in donuts, but also features great coffee and tea selections. There are additional breakfast options with eggs and pastries as well. They are open later than nearby coffee shops in the summer. Seating is student and writer friendly. The manager is terrific and leads staff to pay attention to details about service that others might miss. Gluten free rice krispie treats are available for those needing an option.

Kyama Mugambi

Their breakfast is superb. I liked that there is a gluten free option.

Olympia Bordelon

Delicious vegan and gluten free options. Falafel is the best I’ve ever had. The fresh OJ is a must order. Havenly is absolutely amazing and I hope they can expand. An elegant casual restaurant, it’s the perfect place to meet friends and family or hang out with a book. Can’t wait to come back.

Libby Atterbury

really welcoming owners, excellent food - café casual, but fresh and delicious! we enjoyed the gluten free banana muffin and the grilled cheese on gluten free bread — easily one of the best muffins and grilled cheeses I’ve had in my life. We were shocked as we just stumbled in on a cold morning… Also enjoyed the avo toast with egg and a chai latte with almond milk - chai was great & not painfully sweet (personal preference); avocado toast was very good, no qualms - as expected. Would definitely recommend, felt welcomed and happy when visiting.

Andrea Cruz Quiroz

Delicious pizza! For gluten free people, I recomend 10 out 10. We got a bunch of pizzas for a house party and it was a success!

Dr. Ebubekir Orsun

Loved the place and food. The gluten pizza is amazing.
