This place is wonderful. The atmosphere is great. We were impressed by the variety of food and generous portion sizes. As someone with celiac disease, I appreciate that there were so many gluten-free choices, and all of them are clearly labeled. I got to try some new things I never had before (and it was all great!). I'll be saving this in my favorite places so that I can visit again next time I'm in town.

Update: They changed the restrooms to both be family friendly! Just need a changing table in the 2nd one but I'm sure that's coming. Thank you, Slowpokes!!! This place and the employees are amazing. There is plenty of gluten friendly food to choose from and the RR has a changing table. I'm basic so I stick to mocha lattes throughout the year otherwise I'll try some seasonal stuff; and those are really good. I love the atmosphere and how child friendly it is.

For a casual lunch, it's great. Parking is a little chaotic, but that's the whole area. Massive portion of Pho, easily two meals, and the spring roll is one large roll cut in half and also delicious and fresh. My peer who is vegetarian got the lemon chicken tofu sandwich on a croissant that looked incredible. For the pho you can sub with zucchini noodles for a gluten free option. Overall, in teresting blend of Vietnamese and French (the French colonized Vietnam) with some sandwiches, cafe du mond coffee. Someone busy during lunch but line and food moved quickly. Overall for quick causal pho, would be back.

Very cute place! I love the fresh organic food that is easily accommodating to allergies, like gluten and dairy, the clean vibes inside and relaxed outdoor patio. Good space for the kids to run around. The patio has accessible ordering remotely from your tables with quick service. I enjoyed their mocktails, but they have tasty looking cocktails as well! Will definitely be back!

One of my favorite BBQ places! Most items are gluten free (outside of usual breaded items). Also, the fryer is shared, so there’s cross contamination. Highly recommend!

Ya’ll got rid of the gluten free?? Sorry but the cauliflower crust isn’t a justifiable replacement. Guess I’ll be going some place else. Have a good one, was nice while it lasted.

(Updated review) Drinks: Alright I will say in the past I wasn't really a huge fan of the matcha. But ordering it again I do believe they've improved. Food: The cream inside of the croissant roll was unexpected but not bad. The olive oil lemon bread is really good but dry which is expected for being gluten free. (I'd like to try more of the food next time) The atmosphere is great. Even better now that they've opened up the bar area. Service is fast, and there's a condiment* area to help yourself. I would definitely recommend coming here. (*It has sparkling and regular water. Extra tops straws and mini cups. Along with sugar packets and napkins)

Tasty and trendy menu. A few gluten free items were offered. My salad was delicious and so were the rest at my table. Crowded and noisy, so it's a popular place - not a place for quiet or privacy.

Great lunch specials! The staff was excellent! This was my first time there, and they were super friendly and patient. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I got my rewards points on my very first order. Huge bonus is that they have gluten and dairy-free options! I ordered the Supreme pizza with Greek salad and beverage lunch special, and it was yummy. I will definitely go back.

Holy cow was this place amazing! I got the chicken bacon fries, and the staff was able to make sure my food was gluten-free for me. The amount of food you get for the price is great. I don't live in the area, but 10/10 will recommend and be willing to drive just to eat here again. Don't sleep on this place!

We pulled over to this little joint in the way home from a work trip in the Houston area. Don’t let the shopping center fool you. It was a clean shopping center that was not over-the-top and when you stepped inside, you are greeted with a rustic-like environment. The tables had the appearance of wood plank. Our food was fresh and satisfying. My chef husband said the burger was on point and my colleague said the chicken tenders were flavorful. I had to get a bun less burger because I am gluten free. I was bummed that I couldn’t eat the fries because they are fried in a fryer that shares itself with breaded goods. However, everyone could have the fries and they could tell they were fresh. I was able to get a scoop of ice cream. They had plenty of options. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place and we will be back on our next trip.

Conveniently located with lots of potential; the unique customizable options and bold flavors stand out, but the dough could use some refinement.

Very nice workers and convenient location. Has great potential. I particularly like how you can get a gluten free option of any pizza at any time. I ordered the Arugulo pizza and the flavors were great. However, the gluten free dough needs work as it is way too hard to chew and progressively gets more solid as the pizza cools. With an adjustment in the gluten free dough formulation, they could have a massive improvement in their offerings.

Expect flat tacos that deliver on taste but feel a bit lacking in meat and sides, leaving some longing for a heartier combo experience.

The tacos are flat with very little meat as usual. I miss my Canadian taco bell where you can get a "fries supreme" (AKA loaded taco fries) on the side. I can't believe how expensive they have gotten for a combo of 3 very flat regular tacos with no fries. Otherwise, the taste standards have been maintained well and I love that the ingredients are gluten free.
