As someone who is both vegan and gluten-free, it can be quite challenging to find a restaurant that offers both options while still being delicious. I discovered this spot nearly two years ago, and it has consistently remained one of my favorites. Everything from the raw bars (which feature ever-changing flavors that never disappoint) to the salads and soups is fantastic, made with seasonal, organic ingredients. It's healthy, tasty, and incredibly inventive with its flavors!

This place has THE BEST gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Holy moly. They are so delicious. Not to mention the rest of their stuff…it’s all amazing. It’s my go to for sweet treats when I need them. I have a fairly strict diet so I love that everything is gluten free and vegan, soy free, and refined sugar free. The raw bars are delicious, the pb cups are great (better than Reese’s imo), and the chocolate chip cookies…did I mention those?? AMAZING. Especially if you get them fres … – show

Salads, soups, cookies, superfood bars that are so freakin' delicious, that I can't be on my phone or watching something. It's an experience that I have to be fully present for when enjoying their food. Ingrained has become a part of my weekly routine and my self care. I love their mission and philosophy on health and food. They are also such friendly and welcoming people that it's always a treat to go there. Be sure to follow their Instagram to not miss out on trying their newest items!

Both had a nice shell to them with a creamy center. Treat yourself to these healthier desserts while you’re in the area.

The food here is overpriced and has a bland, health-focused flavor. While I value my health, I would much rather enjoy a meal that is truly flavorful. read more The food here is overpriced and has a bland, health-focused flavor.

To my surprise, they weren't as sweet as one might think. I really value the focus on healthy ingredients and sustainability! The only downside was the prices, but that probably aligns with the overall concept.

I must say, this restaurant is outstanding! The ambiance is wonderful, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly, enthusiastically making fresh dishes right in front of you. I tried the lemon pistachio, and it was nothing short of divine! Everything on the menu is delightful. Not only are they indulgently sweet, but they also incorporate a variety of healthy superfood ingredients. I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend trying the key lime or chocolate flavors—they're incredibly tasty! The service is also impressively fast. However, I do wish they had included napkins or forks for takeout, as the bars can be quite messy to enjoy.

Syd and Andrew truly excel in every aspect, from creating their products to delivering them to customers. Once you place an order, they remember your name for as long as you're a patron. I've been a loyal fan for years; I once drove all the way from the suburbs to the city just for their gluten-free sourdough. Now, my week isn't complete without ordering their amazing raw bars. They’ve created food that you can genuinely feel good about, as every ingredient is thoughtfully selected and of high quality. Treat yourself and make an order (or visit in person!) this week!

The creativity and passion behind each menu item are truly impressive. With offerings like raw bars, protein balls, buttercups, cakes, banana bread, cookies, cinnamon rolls, puppy chow, soups, salads, and flatbreads, you really can't make a bad choice. One of the most unforgettable birthday gifts I ever received was a surprise Ingrained raw bar cake from a friend—it was truly the best present! In addition to having an amazing menu, Sydney, Andrew, and their team genuinely care about their customers. They take the time to get to know you, and their warmth, dedication, and kindness are exceptional.

I live a block away from their location and I see them hand making all their snacks when I walk by the shop. After walking by so much, I decided to stop it and get one of their ice cream bars. Not only was the bar visually pleasing and unique compared to other ice cream bars, but you would never know it was vegan and gluten free. Such a yummy, guilt free treat that I feel lucky to live so close to : Service: Takeaway Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
