Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Unbelievably good. After a few years of a gluten allergy, I didn’t think I could eat desserts that are this phenomenal. And vegan, too! The molasses cookie was fantastic but the Samoa cookie pie was incredible (and brought back so many good memories of Girl Scout cookies I can no longer eat!) Will definitely be back and will be recommending widely!

Had lunch here for the first time. I like the variety of veggie options, gluten free friendly selections, and customer service. Food arrived promptly. Ashley was friendly and helpful to us. 5 star for service, 3 for food because the food seems too heavy for the healthy options, way too much sauce and dressing for my preference compared to True Food Kitchen.

Great vegan options that are clearly marked! They are also very aware of allergies such as gluten free. I got the peanut butter ice cream 50/50 with a scoop of cake batter cookie dough. Very yummy! Cute shop with bright sunlight and a nice outdoor patio.

Love the gluten free Godiva chocolate cheesecake since I have a wheat allergy. While it was very busy for dinner, we were seated in a reasonable amount of time and the service was decent. Food was good and I have eaten at this location multiple times without getting sick from cross contamination with wheat. Gluten free menu items are marked clearly on menu.

A neat little coffee shop. Some may consider it a bit 'hipster' for their focus on the current health fads (gluten free, soy, vegan options). The place was full at 10am,almost overcrowded. There is however, a generous amount of seating for the size of the joint. All drink and food prices were a bit steep, but quality matched the price. My only complaint is that the floor was rather dirty for a coffee joint... They did have simple concrete flooring so it wasn't a big deal, it just seemed odd that there was so much debris for the style of the joint and food/drink options.

The food and the overall restaurant is 5 Stars! I think we would have enjoyed ALOT more if we weren't in the middle of a heat wave here in LA because the seating is all outside and it got hot really quickly..but any other time this would be a great option for lunch! We came for brunch and the breakfast options DID NOT disappoint! I got the spinach and feta omelet, and it was so good! Everything is pretty much priced close to $20 a plate, but the food is worth it, and the portions are generous. I saw a lot of people getting the breakfast burrito, so it must be one of the more popular menu items. There's alot of parking behind the building. Also many gluten free options.
