Although I specifically ordered a clearly marked gluten free option I was served a dish with gluten in it. I have celiac disease and I spent several hours vomiting afterwards. I will never go there again. They clearly DO NOT understand what gluten free means.

I am a wheelchair user and was already frustrated before I got to the door because I saw a traffic cone blocking the sidewalk cutout, but upon approaching realized that I had plenty of room to get by and the cone was there to warn of the large crack it was covering. Then I saw a sign on the door with no threshold that said to use the next door that had a step. Before I got past the first door, a person who was ended up doing everything except cooking opened the door with no threshold and cleared a path for me. Throughout my visit, he was unbelievably aware and anticipatory of my needs even as the line of customers grew longer. His attentiveness was professional and not overwhelming of my space or autonomy and very much appreciated. The food was delicious. There were several gluten free options to choose from, though the menu is not marked that way and it is up to the patron to ask. The person working that day was very aware of ingredients, but I would be hesitant and/or overwhelmed if someone else were working. He accommodated my request to get a 1/2 order of falafel though it wasn’t on the menu which paired well with the lentil soup. Each entree had subtle flavors of cumin, coriander and other middle eastern spices that did not overwhelm or overpower. I was given take home containers without issue. My wife said that her gyro pita was delicious with all of the right notes of the flavors and textures she loves.

This has quickly become my go to for a quick lunch in the college town area. Rice bowls are a healthy lunch alternative, and now they've added ramen bowls too. The rice bowls are naturally gluten free so lots of options for celiacs. The bubble tea is great for a pick me up, with a range of flavors and styles (fruit tea, milk tea, etc). Pro tip...you can ask for less sugar and substitute for a fruit flavored boba (the strawberry is the best) if you don't like the chewy traditional tapioca pearls. Service is always quick, but it gets crowded at lunch time!

It's not traditional fast food, and that's what makes it awesome, vegan, and gluten-free items with amazing flavors. Easy to get to easy to miss its a little hole in the wall. I highly recommend it.

I’m not a coffee drinker, I enjoy chai lattes. The baristas greet me by name, are always friendly and make sure that my drink is perfect. I also enjoy meeting friends & colleagues at the Mt. Hope Starbucks - a great environment to catch up or get a bit of work done. (Also, I love their gluten free menu options!)
