I ordered a vegetarian lasagna from Oryana to take to a gathering of friends. I am a 40+ year vegetarian. The lasagna (also gluten free - made with squash instead of noodles) was the best I have ever had. Absolutely delicious flavors, texture and appearance. The entire experience was so pleasant and easy with the kind chef and employees. Highly recommend!

We used Peace, Love & Little Donuts for our wedding reception and are so happy we did! All of our guests raved about the flavors and the ability to grab donuts whenever they wanted throughout the evening. We were even able to do some gluten-free donuts which was a must for my wife with gluten intolerance. All the donuts were beautifully decorated, delivered safely, and displayed on various platters. We highly recommend!

This place is amazing! The breakfast and pastries are definitely worth trying. I didn't even realize that my donut was gluten-free, it was so delicious. The coffee was also very well made, and the service was great. The small details, like turning the handle of the coffee cup when setting it down, show that the staff is highly trained and hospitable. Well done!

Delicious food and friendly service! We needed a place with Gluten free vegetarian options and found The Dish in a pinch. The Buddha bowl and greek fries hit the spot. The chicken quesadilla was tasty and filling, it's huge.

A nice Espresso Bay with a good variety of coffees and treats. We were glad they sold Third Coast gluten free items as well as a plethora of gluten filled items. The roasting room was new to us but welcomed none the less. It’s a coffee shop that does what it should.

The recently opened pop-up space is definitely charming & well done. It is exciting to see some newly inspired design added to the excitement of Front Street in TC. The selection of pastries was abundant - seems like something for everyone here as I walked out with four items just for myself (even multiple gluten free options!) I was excited to be sipping coffee from Panther who I have also had and enjoyed at Mission Proper in Old Mission (locations in TC and Miami?!) I am excited to see where this pop-up goes.

Great breakfast and coffee spot!! The Golden milk latte is amazing. I’m gluten free and can’t do cilantro and they made me a burrito bowl with the cilantro crema on the side. The bowl was a really generous portion and so good!
