I had lunch at the downtown location just before Restaurant Week. The counter servers are pleasant. The menu is interesting though kind of pricey. I was excited about the corn and zucchini fritters being gluten-free, but they were disappointing. They were not hot when they arrived and the texture was gummy, like they had been reheated and not effectively. They were topped with a hard fried egg that was really unattractive (it looked like it was stomped on). The avocado and grilled (?) tomatoes didn't add much. The only thing that saved the dish was some delicious crispy bacon. I got a chai latte that tested like slightly spiced milk (not their forte, clearly, I should've had coffee). There are many glowing reviews of this place, but apparently, it is inconsistent, because my experience was not great. There are many other local establishments offering gluten-free options, I'll be trying some of them in the future rather than returning here.

Great atmosphere! Lots of natural light & cute plants. - Serves Messenger coffee. - Espresso machine: La Marzocco Linea Classic. - Food options: Bakery items (including gluten friendly options) and a full menu which looks ideal for brunch. - Pet friendly; there’s a dog park out front. - Seating: Efficient seating indoors; although the building is small the seating didn’t feel crowded. There’s lots of outdoor seating too.

The food was good, but one of the line cooks laughed at me and walked away when i asked if they had vegan cheese (I’m lactose intolerant and celiac, and the website made it look like the team would be trained to handle that, but i guess not). The servers hardly made eye contact with us even though we were the only ones there, the cashier acted like we were the biggest inconvenience she’s ever had, and like i said i was literally mocked for asking for cheese that wouldn’t make me sick. Whoever is the night manager in this store needs to be either fired and replaced or put through remedial training asap. Then after they dropped off my pizza at the table, they put my partners pizza in the online order area and forgot about it until he went up there to ask- all while having literally no more than 1 other customer and maybe 2 door dashers over that 12 minutes. Yikes.

A convenient lunch during our museum visit. Trench stew was very filling. There were multiple sandwich and burger options as well as a homemade soup of the day. Staff helped me with gluten free options.
