I come here almost every week and love it! I’m gluten intolerant and their gluten free breakfast tacos are my absolute favorite! The salsa is top tier. Friendly service and they have a drive through if you don’t have time to stop in. Highest recommendation!

Great food, great service, and wonderful healthy atmosphere! I'm a professional SUP athlete and train really hard all week, so I never feel guilty having a meal here on my day off :) I love the SC Rice Bowl since it is soy free and gluten free!

Delicious in every sense! Love that they have yummy gluten free options. Friendly workers but takes 5 years to get food… so if you’re in a rush, it’s not the spot lol.

Great place for someone vegan and gluten intolerant. I had an açaí bowl regular size and it was very generous, full of fresh fruit and gluten free granola which made it sweeter. The açaí itself was pretty sweet on its own so I would probably not take the granola next time. The açaí was the correct consistency. Not completely frozen like some places serve it but very cold like a thick smoothie which is how it should be served. Service was great, nice chilled vibe and you can tell it’s not a huge chain but a local business which makes me want to come back and try some of their other bowls, coffees and bakes.

Some of the best food I’ve ever bought right on a beach. Fantastic acai bowls and Venezuelan Arepas. I appreciate the gluten free options. The breakfast burrito was a hit as was the gluten free waffle. We thought it would be just a couple of GF toaster waffles, but it was a big Belgian waffle with lots of fruit.

Great spot! Lots of seating - indoors and outdoors (back and a few out front!) …the matcha is delish and can tell it’s high quality. They also have an assortment of delicious gluten free and dairy free pastries!! The gluten free double chocolate cookie is so gooey and delicious. Thanks for having amazing choices.
