The gluten-free muffins and donuts are so delicious at Third Culture. I really enjoy all the variety and the new creations they come up with almost weekly. The staff is so accommodating and friendly. They really go out of their way to help in any way they can. It’s a special treat when the owners are there because they’re super friendly too. This is a wonderful business that I highly recommend

Cheesecake factory is kind of a guilty pleasure. They violate a lot of rules I have about restaurants, but they somehow pull it off. Their menu is too big, but most things are good if not great. There isn't any theme to their food, but somehow they pull it off. They are good for people with Celiacs or Gluten intolerance and their waiters seem be given training in helping people with allergy issues, so you don't have to worry when dining with large parties. In this last visit, I had just come from another restaurant, whose service was so bad I had to get up and leave. Despite being really busy our server was fantastic. He handled our order, knew everything on the menu, handled concerns in our party and was the epitome of perfect customer service. I think his name was Paul... I honestly feel bad not remembering. I went with the fish tacos because, I wanted something lighter, so I could have cheesecake. Unfortunately, they were, subpar to average. The tortillas tasted like they dunked the in cold oil and fish was flavorless without any sauce to brighten the flavor. Everyone else seem to enjoy their meals, so I will only ding a star for my meal. The cheesecake, was spot on, although I had to take it to go because the oiled tacos left a deep water horizon slick in my mouth.

Originally, we started coming here for only the garlic frys. Once my partner realized they had gluten-free buns, we started coming here for dinner and lunch.

Easily my favorite cafe of all time! Rooted is a completely vegan space, so for those of us who are lactose intolerant there is 0 chance of a mistaken order making you sick. There are also lots of gluten free options. The only dietary restriction I would avoid this place for is a nut allergy, due to the vegan recipes being nut heavy. I don't think I've ever had a bad order from here. The menu is quite large with food, drinks, and pastry options. The food is well portioned, especially for a cafe, no tiny disappointing avocado toasts here! The staff is extremely friendly, some of the nicest baristas I've ever encountered. Being a vegan cafe, there are more non-dairy milk options here than any other cafe I've visited (oat, almond, macadamia, and soy), personally I recommend the macadamia. I highly recommend the churro latte with macadamia milk + the avocado toast make it fresh + the omega donut. The donuts are definitely "healthier" than your standard ones, but even my friends who aren't into items like that still enjoy them. The space is well set up for a large number of visitors with long communal tables near the door and standard tables near the back and outside. There is also a comfortable couch seating area. The vibes in here are fantastic with lots of plants as well as local art exhibitions. On weekends, there is sometimes a DJ outside spinning. It can get crowded easily though, most weekends it is a bit of a struggle to find a table, even with all the seating. I just wish they would bring back the "churro waffle sticks" from a few years ago! Those were the best item on the menu, but they've been gone for some time now.

I loved this place. First time and will go again. The menu has many healthy options, gluten free, low sugar... great pastries. I had their oat pancakes and they were delicious. They are only offering outside seating right now, and it was a bit cold and windy, but not unbearable. They do not take reservations and the wait was pretty long, but we were in no rush so waited patiently. The wait staff was very friendly and didn't take too long to bring out the food. Totally recommend it!
