We had a great meal. We were a group of 9 celebrating a couple of birthdays. Our server Brooke was great. They have a number of vegan options and can give you a menu with just the vegan or gluten free options. The vegan relleno was really good and unique. The blacked tofu was very tasty.

I have celiac and always question dedicated cooking areas. I was advised the gluten free crepes are not made on a dedicated iron. It is just wiped down before making a GF crepe. I chose not to take the risk. Edit… we drove an hour based on reviews. I should have called ahead of time to question dedicated cooking areas. Sadly, I did not see anything on the website regarding non-dedicated areas for the GF crepes. I was so looking forward to having something. I changed my review to 3 stars simply because it IS a wonderful establishment. It is just unable to meet my needs for a severe gluten allergy. Cross contamination is serious.

The quality and taste of the food is wonderful. To have all of these healthy options is really amazing! Everything is gluten free. Many dairy free options. My salmon was very overcooked, but the rest of our meals were perfection! We had a chocolate cheese tosa (who knew how amazing this concoction would be?!), creamy garlic butter salmon (the dressing for the salad was so fresh and tasty!), sweet and spicy wings and a chicken wrap. I also drank lemon and orange tea and could drink that daily for the rest of my life. This isn't really a dine in place, but there are a few seats if younwant to eat there. The to-go boxes are compostable. I will be back. Please support this wonderful business!

I am gluten sensitive and found 1 dish "stackers") that didn't contain wheat. Meal presentation was excellent. Service was amazing. The outside seating atmosphere could use updates. My only suggestion would be to modify some recipes to cater to the gluten free clients. And keep the salsa pico de Gallo only rather than adding to it.

Such a cute quaint local coffee shop! The storefront was super clean, decorated well and has great curb appeal. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating available. They brew their own coffee beans and the coffee is amazing. The freshness of the coffee is what makes this coffee shop stand out from its competitors. During my visit, I also tried an apple blueberry muffin which was very moist, fresh and delicious. They offer many gluten free options and a full breakfast menu! I highly recommend this local gem!

Fantastic! A group of 4 had 2 pizzas and 3 pasta dishes. The homemade sausage on the pizza was tender but with the right sausage bounce and great flavor. White clam sauce on the linguine was abundant, clams minces to an easily eat-able size. Delicious flavor even on the plain cheese pizza we had as an appetizer. They offered a gluten-free pizza crust which was crispy and good. No gluten free pasta. We liked that drink refills came in a little carafe so there was plenty (the sodas were served in large mugs to begin with!). Everything was great, we'll be going back a lot!

Nice outdoor seating with plenty of heaters. Great gluten free options. Our order was accidentally made not gluten free but our server stopped us from eating it because he noticed it was wrong. I know this sounds like a bad thing but our server did the right thing by seeing the mistake.

For somewhat "fast food," it is pretty good. They cook everything fresh after you order. I really like this place because they serve gluten-free buns, dairy free cheese/shakes and veggie burgers. Pretty hard to find those things in most places. Definitely a favorite!

We are always searching for places that offer alternative options, such as dairy free and gluten-free and Papa Murphy’s has both of these options! I do think they are a little bit pricey, but having this flexibility is what our family needs so we enjoy getting pizza from here. We typically order Papa‘s favorite and add the zesty herbs. My son gets a gluten-free pepperoni pizza and enjoys it!

We got what we ordered, the food was hot, and nothing we ordered was out of stock. CAUTION CELIACS: NOBODY AT THIS LOCATION SEEMS TO KNOW THE COMPANY'S SPECIAL FOOD HANDLING PROCESSES FOR ENSURING AGAINST ALLERGY CROSS CONTAMINATION. The other Chipotle locations we've been to were much better with gluten awareness.

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich no but for $16. A piece of dried out cold chicken came on a plate. Side of beans stated gluten free on the menu, but was obviously not because they had BBQ sauce. Also I noticed a couple of fried items marked gluten free on the menu. Not correct! The green beans were disgusting cold & old! The brisket tacos were tiny to say the least. The menu is false advertising! I have been in the resteraunt/ customer service for 40+ years & would be embarrassed to serve this Food! A waste of $60! Overpriced for the food quality (or lack there of) Don't waste your money! No food standards are IMPLEMENTED DO YOUR REASEACH . I HAVE HEALTH ISSUES & AM VERY VERSED ON FOOD & FOOD QUALITY. BBQ SAUCE IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. FALSE ADVERTISING ON MORE THAN ONE ITEM ON THE MENU. SHOWS THAT YOU DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS HEALTH. Self proclaimed expert .lol things have changed in the past 50 yrs. Disingenuous, I know not! Get off your high horse ! And one more thing. You obviously have NO resteraunt or customer service experience! I've managed countless resteraunts & retail stores over 40 yrs one being the outback steakhouse & the owners would be horrified if I spoke to a customer the way you replied to me & other people who have reviewed your establishment. I would be fired! I guess you're the owner, you should have more respect for yourself & your business! If you are not the owner you should be fired! GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT!!!

They say they have gluten free buns but they don't. And I asked for a discount since they were going to serve me a sub with no buns and they said no. Not even am extra meatball to offset things. Won't be back.
