Cassava
Celiac Safety Score
Cassava is the kind of place that lets celiacs breathe a sigh of relief—it's a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, and they don't just say it, they live it. Every empanada, pizza, or roll is crafted in a kitchen where gluten simply isn't allowed to set foot, with periodic dough testing to keep things well below the 20ppm threshold. The menu is packed with inventive flavors (think Brazilian cheese bread, wild mushroom empanadas, cinnamon rolls) and everything is made from real, pronounceable ingredients—no weird additives or “frankenfoods.” You can actually taste the care and intention in every bite, and knowing you won't get sick makes every meal a little celebration—finally, a spot where you don’t have to ask twice if it's safe.
