I was delighted by the number of gluten-free options, as eating out is usually very challenging with my allergies. Our server was super attentive and everything tasted fantastic. Will definitely be back!

Four of us ate here, partly because my friend and I don't often get the chance to eat Japanese food and partly because our friends had had it recommended to them for its excellent gluten-free provision. Our experience was entirely positive. Our friends both had a fine bowl of ramen each while my friend and I enjoyed starters (lovely thinly-sliced squid for me) followed by mains (a large selection of fresh, delicious sashimi for me, a similar platter of sushi for her). Absolutely great. The staff were also very good. We had a nice young woman who was friendly and helpful (especially with my gluten-free requirements, about which she was knowledgeable).

Always been a fan of the Chippewa location. This one is just as great and includes parking. Perfect chill place. Great coffee. Mike's sandwich on gluten free Kaiser was amazing. Regular bread for grilled cheese and BLT was a little dry which was surprising. Other then that it was perfect.

I think about the vegan hoagie Forty Thieves's excellent kitchen dreamed up way too much but let's start from the beginning. We came for lunch the day before the blizzard hit and the restaurant was packed. Yet our gem of a server, the aforementioned kitchen, and the manager of the restaurant who swung by our table to ask "would you mind if we added vegan mayo, vegan cheese and sautéed portobello mushrooms to your order?" all went a million miles out of their way to transform the makeshift "steak" hoagie (hold the steak) I ordered into two- yes two!- properly gooey, stick-to-your-ribs vegetable "hoagies" loaded with caramelized onions , grilled peppers and sautéed mushrooms on toasty, chewy gluten-free rolls brushed with olive oil. My order came with French fries and they were piping-hot, crispy, and nice and salty. Pictures say a thousand words in this instance so I'll end here.

The workers were really sweet and it was beautiful in there! I loved how they had gluten free & vegan options because i was really craving a muffin when i went in and i was so happy to see that they had gf options. I got an iced coffee with vanilla and it was delish. I’m excited to go again soon!

My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner at Mint and it could have not been a better experience for us. Allison was so easy to work with from start to finish. It was the only part of the wedding planning process that wasn't stressful. We rented out the whole dining room for the night and she provided us with our own designated bar spot. All of our guests raved about the food and the drinks! One of our guests has a gluten allergy and she had her chef design 3 options for her meal. Our guest loved the neal she picked from the 3 options. We couldn't recommend this place enough for whether to have a party or just to come for dinner/drinks!

Delicious soups and sandwiches. Great gluten free and vegetarian options. True Elmwood staple.

Panera Bread, which many people know and love, has an interesting history. It started back in 1987 as the St. Louis Bread Company. The company was purchased by Au Bon Pain Co. in 1993 and was rebranded as Panera Bread in 1997. With its headquarters in Sunset Hills, Missouri, Panera Bread has grown into a beloved chain throughout the United States and Canada. One of the reasons for its popularity is the emphasis on fresh, clean ingredients—no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors from artificial sources. Their menu is quite diverse, offering everything from fresh-baked goods, like bagels and pastries, to café items, such as sandwiches, salads, soups, and specialty beverages. They also cater to various dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I appreciate Panera's cozy, community-oriented atmosphere, which makes it a perfect spot for meetings or casual gatherings. They’ve embraced technology with their Panera 2.0 initiative, which introduced online ordering, rapid pick-up, and delivery services. This has made it incredibly convenient to enjoy their offerings. They even have a line of packaged products available in grocery stores under the "Panera at Home" brand. Panera Bread is also committed to social responsibility through programs like Day-End Dough-Nation, where they donate leftover bakery items to local charities. They’ve focused on sustainability by using responsibly sourced ingredients and reducing their environmental footprint. Owned by JAB Holding Company since 2017, Panera continues to innovate and expand, keeping up with customer needs and preferences.
