One of the few, if not only gluten free and vegan restaurants in the area. I will definitely be back. My pesto sandwich was awesome. The cookies are a hit too 🙌🏿

Service was friendly and quick, espresso tasted great - not too burnt - and the gluten free waffle was delicious! The interior left a little to be desired, but overall it was a good little shop.

They offer 3 GF desserts. It was really hard to see the peanut butter chocolate cupcake and not be able to have it, but the chocolate mousse tart was delicious. It’s a great place to pick up dessert!

Quirky, hole-in-the-wall sort of breakfast place. Absolutely DELICIOUS crepes, including the gluten-free variety. This was one of the best breakfast places we had while in Charleston, and I highly recommend. Street parking was easy and close.

We found this place based on Google reviews, and we are so glad we did! It's a terrific dessert café. I'm gluten-free, and it was such a joy to find somewhere with delicious after-dinner options. My non gf husband had the bourbon pecan pie and said it's fabulous.

Had lunch here after a recommendation. It’s not a large place and the menu is not very big. I ordered a GF pizza and they noted that I had an “allergy” so that it would be cooked on a new pan and they would change gloves and take extra precautions. It was large and could definitely have been shared.

Truly the Açaí bowls are dynamite, and that is the reason I keep coming back. But the service isn’t great, there drive through bell seems to be broken often, so I have sat for 5 minutes + multiple times before I have had to park and go in. I am also allergic to gluten and have had a couple of times where they have mixed up my order with someone else and given me gluten granola or put my name on the wrong one. Now that I double check every time so I don’t get sick, they will give me attitude and not taken it serious. Like I said the food is delicious so I will keep coming back for the product, but I think management could address some of the service issues.

Great place! Great service. I got a great mocha latte, and my husband got a cold brew. There was a line, but the barista and cashier worked together to make drinks very efficiently. They even had gluten free brownies and knew enough to tell my husband that they had no gluten in them, but that no special preparations were made in their making. We appreciated that kind of care. I recommend this place!
