Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

40%
Poor

Good Intentions is a lively, plant-powered spot with a vibrant vegan menu and an inviting, community-focused vibe. But here's the catch: while they do offer 'gluten-friendly' dishes and mark them clearly, the kitchen actively produces wheat-based seitan and other gluten-rich items right alongside those options. The team is refreshingly upfront—if you've got celiac disease or require strict avoidance, this just isn't your safest bet. Honestly, their candor is a relief (no false promises here), but for those who need true gluten-free assurance, I'd skip it and save yourself the stress.
