Ordered a delicious GF bowl and some kombucha. They were delicious and when I let them know I had celiac they made a point to put it in the order and when they brought my food out confirmed it was gluten free. I didn’t get glutened :)

Lots of options which are gluten free. It is also easy to eat with other food sensitivities. I am dairy free as well. They were knowledgeable and made the ordering simple. It is a good place to go with a large group, and the food is very good. I will go back.

Staff knowledgeable. Food very tasty but most importantly, SAFE for my daughter who has celiac! All but one bowl is GF, Mac & Cheese is GF. Lots of filling & delicious food. This will be on our go to list when we return in June. Can’t wait! Would love to see one of these in Nashville!

The menu is easily labeled with food that is GF. There are many options. Everything on the kid menu is GF. My daughter has celiac and is highly sensitive to gluten. She ordered the kid meal (meat and two sides) of steak, smashed potato and Mac and cheese. She loved it and didn’t get sick. She has been asking us to go back ever since before we leave town to go back home. The food is good and they made it pretty quick. It was well priced. Her meal was $7.

Went to a Flower Child here and one in Austin. Creative mix and match menu with bowls and wraps and salads. Quality food and ingredients and casual, fast and tasteful environment with a farm fresh vibe.

Gluten free options are many and all annotated on menu. They have a GF pita to substitute for their wrap. Their Mac and cheese is GF by default. Also offer GF muffins and brownies.

Tasteful, healthy eating.

I told the counter person I had celiac and ordered a dish that she assured me was safe. I ate several bites before I realized it was dusted with breadcrumbs! I was horrified and complained. The same woman who'd taken my order didn't at all seem to understand what I was saying or why i was upset The manager was kind and apologetic, but I realized the staff was not trained or aware, despite the gf options on the menu.

The new location is amazing!! Had a great lunch as always. They offer so many gluten free options which are listed on the menu. Let them know you have an allergy and they will take extra precautions.

Very fresh and flavorful food. Gluten free items are clearly marked and if you tell them you have an allergy, they take special precautions.

I eat here ALL the time and never ever get sick! I always ask them to mark down gluten allergy on the order and I feel safe enough to make an online order and just add “GLUTEN ALLERGY” in the notes and I’ve never had a problem! I always get the forbidden rice bowl with steak. I also have had their desserts (pudding, cookie, muffin) and never have any problems.
