We ate brunch here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and unlike any Japanese food I've had before. There is amazing attention to detail in the taste. They are also incredibly Gluten-free friendly. Only one item on the brunch menu had wheat and the fryer was wheat free.
Expect a lively vibe with a diverse menu featuring unique vegan options, though service can be hit or miss on busy days.

Lots of interesting food but I wouldn't go here if you are coeliac because they can't promise there's been no cross contamination (due to the chicken alternative Seitan).
The strawberry milkshake was the best I've had in a while.
This lively spot has a great vibe for gatherings, offering a diverse menu with accommodating options and quick takeout service.

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.
This spot boasts an awesome tea station for custom drinks and is a must-visit for its inviting vibe and cleanliness.

GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS NOT GLUTEN-FREE
I came to this location on 6/5/24.
I was very excited to be visiting this restaurant in Cambridge. I am vegan and have a gluten allergy and saw on the menu that many items were denoted gluten-free so I was very happy that there would be food for me to eat. (I had also not eaten all day so I was extra excited.) I went up to the counter to order and while ordering was told (in a very rude/smug way) by the people working the register that everything that is noted as gluten free is not actually gluten free but “gluten friendly” and not safe for an allergy and they would not recommend for anyone who actually eats gluten free to eat at their restaurant. Either the menu needs to be changed to say “gluten friendly” or a kitchen process needs to be changed so the gluten free options are actually gluten free and there is no cross contamination. I do appreciate that they let me know so I didn’t get glutened but I shouldn’t have found out while ordering - it should have been clearer (and that’s on Veggie Grill).
The staff at this location were also rude, unhelpful, and didn’t offer any suggestions. They honestly didn’t care and were not kind at all. I hope management changes the menu to be clearer so people that do have a gluten allergy are able to either eat safety or don’t come with their hopes up only to not be able to eat not anything. They should also train their staff on some basic customer service/kindness. (They didn’t even apologize - which I feel like is just like basic customer service.) Maybe other staff members are great and the ones that were working the register were just the bottom of the barrel but I am honestly shocked with how I was treated.
Luckily, I don’t live in Cambridge so I won’t run into this issue again but I want to flag this for future gluten-free travelers (and honestly anyone who may come into this seemingly wonderful place…).
Experience a relaxing vibe and cushiony sofas, perfect for chats with friends, amidst an all-round healthy environment.

Negligent with allergies!!! I explained I have gluten and dairy allergies which was written on the ticket and the person preparing the food was handling bread and immediately touched my food without changing gloves. If I hadnt looked up as it happened I would have gotten severely ill. I pointed it out and explained again that it's a severe allergy and would need them to change gloves and they still tried to give me the same bowl. Definitely not safe for people with actual allergies!!!
Expect vibrant flavors and ample portions, plus unique smoothie options that pack a punch despite their small size.

Really friendly staff and quick service. The food is a good-sized portion and has many flavors (I loved the Forbidden Rice Bowl!). We appreciated that it is 100% gluten free since my husband has celiac disease. The smoothies are small given their price ($10+ each) but very tasty.
This spot is a hidden gem, perfect for discovering unique sweet treats like lemon ginger squares and more!

Love this shop. My favorite are the lemon ginger squares, but I haven't had everything yet. I wish they had some lunch things. This place really was the gluten free dairy free spot I needed to find today though. Thank you!
Good selection of pastries. My partner really enjoyed their sandwich.
Gluten free bread is dry and crumbly. If you are gluten free, don’t bother coming
A must-visit spot for a refreshing smoothie fix, conveniently located near Market Central with an inviting vibe.

I absolutely love the Vitality Bowls Pina Colada smoothie! It is so refreshing and is the perfect afternoon treat. They also have several gluten free options for food that I am eager to try! Their Cambridge location is so convenient, located right off Mass Ave by Market Central! Highly recommend.
