Edit: Came back for lunch. Great service, amazing food. Excellent gluten-free options. Affordable for the area and great portions. I think you get a little more if you dine in rather than take out. Evening: Good margaritas for a good price! Rooftop is probably not worth the wait unless you have a good-sized group. Will probably return.

We were very pleased with our visit. Amazing service and the food was great. Much bigger portions than we were expecting, we ordered way too much! My niece is gluten free and the server marked up the menu to show exactly what was gf or could be modified to be gf. Amazing service! We had the ubiquitous kale salad, burrata that comes with sweet potato bread (gf bread also available), grilled broccoli with hummus, and roasted potatoes. Both the cocktails and cocktails were great too!

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…).

We had delicious doughnuts at this store the other day. What’s special about this place is that they make great gluten-free doughnuts which I find precious. For people who cannot eat gluten, finding good doughnut stores that make decent gluten-free doughnuts isn’t always easy, especially doughnuts carefully made not to have any gluten contamination from other food sources. We’d definitely visit this store again. Thank you for making sure to include gluten-free doughnuts on your menu. That makes a huge difference for some people. We truly appreciate it.
