The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing! The only drawback of this Cafe is the hours of operation. It's in an office building, and in a very commercial part of the city so I totally understand but I also wish I had the option of swinging by and grabbing dinner before I head home. I had a Mediterranean salad that was very well portioned, filling and delicious. They made it to order so it's totally gluten friendly and dairy free. I would absolutely recommend this place for lunch to relax or a lunch meeting. They also sell GIANT bags of Cafe Moto coffee and support several other local brands which I love. Check them out!

We waited about 30 minutes to be seated. Which was a bit of a bummer because it looked like their were open tables. On the upside Jonah was so helpful with list of food allergy questions. He checked with the chef to see which dishes would work for my gluten sensitivity.

Under new ownership. Unfortunately, they haven’t taken down the old photos of the dishes they no longer have that are still posted when you walk in. However, their smaller menu is delicious. The banchan was tasty but spicy which some may not like. We took a friend that was gluten free and they server did the best he could to accommodate and even went above and beyond to check some ingredients to make sure. Everything we had was delicious, the 3 of us shared 4 dishes and were more than full. The new owners definitely made sure to step up their game as we didn’t enjoy the place when we went years ago.

Good gluten free bun!! I'm not usually a big fan of sandwiches, but my work gets delivery from here often. I finally gave in and tried a meatball with GF bun. The bun was really good; bouncy and correct texture for bread. Everything was delivered separate to avoid the annoying "while my hot meatball sub congeals into a big fat disappointing blob of..." Soup Update: I ordered the $4 cup of chicken and veggie soup, thinking I would get mostly broth and some a few carrots. I was shocked to receive a container packed full of chicken and veggies with a delicious slightly spiced base. It really was good and very filling!

I eat a lot of pho, at a lot of places. This is one of the best places to have pho and they also do it gluten-free. My daughter has celiac disease and a real gluten allergy. She only eats at places that guarantee their gluten free food preparation.

This place is sooo good and wait time isn't bad, especially because thou can get on the waitlist through Yelp, and if you're looking for a gluten free option for the chicken you can ask for it "naked" and they won't put breading on it! Such nice staff!

The staff was very helpful and concerned that they handle my dietary needs appropriately. Serving gluten free sushi is always a challenge and I was most impressed with the personnel and level of service to keep me healthy and safe. Plus, they make darn good custom cocktails!
