I had an incredible lunch at Fresh&Co on Lexington and 85th! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma (gluten-free) bowl with organic quinoa, avocado, feta, raw mushrooms, and a light balsamic vinaigrette also was added tomato salad, pickles, baba ghanousn, hummus, greek yogurt, blackened chicken —everything was super fresh and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the toppings were generous and well-balanced. The portion size was great for the price, especially with the $3 off deal. The staff was also really kind and efficient, and the place had a nice, relaxed vibe—perfect for a quick but healthy meal. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something fresh, filling, and tasty. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Shout out to the manager that was working that night. I have celiac and was originally trying to make my order through the app but it was not accepting my phone number and would not let me proceed. When I got to the counter, I completely forgot to request a gluten-free bun, and had to use the bathroom as soon as I finished placing my order. I felt soooo bad, because my order was basically ready by the time I got back and that’s when I realized I forgot to say GF bun. The manager was in the front fixing a few signs, and aside from being very attentive to customers that were just coming in, he spoke to his workers in a really nice tone, gave great direction and made me feel less bad about forgetting. He had them redo the order and when I offered to pay the difference for the bun, he said it was fine. He also cares about feedback and told me I could always leave a review and I immediately felt more relief, since I can at least give him his kudos for being so great! He seriously deserves a raise! I wish I would have gotten his name, because he made my night!

This cafe is wonderful! Gluten free delights and flavorful decaf espresso (hard to come by in the neighborhood). Can't wait to try more goodies. It's also very cute inside 🥰.

I was recommended this place to bring my mom as she has a gluten allergy, and they were lovely! Brought out gluten free bread and pasta with no contamination issues. I loved my aglio e olio and everyone at the table had a great time. Expensive but worth it

I keep coming back to the store. I had a tropical smoothie today, which is a combination of mango, papaya, banana, orange, grape, and guava juice, and it tastes so good. Now, they also have halal and gluten-free options on their menu!"
