Came upon this place after fasting and getting blood drawn next door, and I’m so glad I did! I am dairy free and gluten free and I feel like I landed in heaven. Coffee is great, food is great, and service is impeccable. Will definitely be back, and with friends! Hidden gem for sure

We can't believe how good the food is at this restaurant. It's unbelievably delicious...fresh ingredients, homemade pasta and even the gluten free pasta was so good, same consistency and flavor as wheat pasta. The tomato-based sauces are flavorful and not overpowered by garlic, as some restaurants tend to do, and all you get is heartburn. The cream sauces are going to make you think you died and went to heaven. You can taste the butter and the real cream. Pizza? We always order one to go when we go for dinner because it's that good. If you're in town, this is definitely a must eat place.

We are so glad we found this place via Google when we were visiting the area. They offered avocado toast with bread that was both gluten free and vegan (an exciting win for some with gluten, egg and dairy allergies!). It looked and tasted wonderful. The Açaí bowl and oat milk latte we ordered were also tasty and beautiful, and we loved the location too. Tucked away in a little alley, lots of plants growing overhead and providing the prettiest shade. We will definitely go back if we are ever in this area again.

We had a great experience here. The oyster was super fresh. The food was delicious. Our waiter, Saul, was very warm and professional. Me being celiac always worry about getting "gluten poisoned". Saul made sure the dishes I ordered were gluten free. It was a fantastic experience!

First time here... happy to see ciders on tap since I am gluten free. The kitchen was very careful to let me know what comes in contact with gluten. Very friendly staff. The servers are very attentive. The kitchen is a bit slow which is why I didn't give a five star rating.
