If you've ever dreamed of a grocery and cafe where celiacs can just relax and enjoy, Honest Weight Food Co-op is that rare unicorn. This place walks the walk with a 100% gluten-free kitchen, clear ingredient labeling, and a deep commitment to transparency—so you don’t have to play detective every time you shop or grab a bite. The bulk department even carves out a mini-section for gluten-free flours and pastas, helping keep cross-contact at bay. From the hot bar’s ever-changing global flavors to the bakery’s pillowy donuts and hearty breads (often sourced from local GF bakeries), you’ll find that sense of food freedom that’s so hard to come by—without sacrificing flavor or safety.
