And you know when you just want a big bowl of good food? Yeah that was my mom and thank you Yelp for helping me find GLO! I got the Harvest Bowl which just so happened to be Vegan and Gluten Free. It was delicious and packed with all of my favorites like sweet potato, black beans, quinoa, etc. I usually don't opt for vegan cheeses but I honestly couldn't tell. Oh! And the lemoncane that I got (bottled from the fridge) was sweetttttt but so good. It was pretty expensive at $9 for the bottle, but loved that I could read all the good that it does like aiding in digestion and more wonderful things. The space is so cute with a few big tables inside and even some outside. I even took my laptop out and got some work done while I waited. Cannot wait to return.

I…read morewas actually looking for a cafe/coffee shop that serves food, but luckily the "cafe" search added this spot to the list. They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

DON'T pick them up off the floor and put them on the customer's table to be eaten.. it's GROSS.. the server was nice, but they clearly have no clue about food service. Used to love this place.. but will NEVER be back I left a 5 star review because it's not the owner's fault.

They have a frozen section where you can get different types of ravioli, including ravioli with Gorgonzola stuffed inside, etc. They have a hot and cold food station, snacks, pastries fresh and packaged. 1. Eggplant parm - delicious and cheesy. Thin breaded eggplant. Few stacks. About 800 calories for one slice. 2. Meat lasagna - Ricotta filled and flavorful! Overall, I'd come again to try other food items or try snacks.

I loved the fresh fried mozzarella rectangles. instead of the buffalo wings, we ordered boneless wings and got chicken tenders, which is totally fine - they were pretty good. The fried ravioli were OK. For pizza, we ordered half barbecue chicken, half cheese and it was delicious! Even for next day leftovers which isn't always the case for every pizzeria. The service was great - friendly and welcoming. Ambience is chill, laidback - you can sit outdoors or indoors. Indoors had a couple booths and some tables with chairs set up comfortably with a/c for any hot summer day looking for some cool air. Will definitely stop by again if we're in the area.

The Sesame Crunch Salad was abundant and had that perfect combination of fresh, crunchy, and satisfying. Very tangy dressing. The Mediterranean Bowl was one of my favorites. It was fresh, filling, and had all those classic Mediterranean flavors coming together in one bowl. Yup, even vegan tzatziki and feta. The Meatball Parm Sub had this hearty, saucy, cheesy combination you want from a meatball parm, and really mimicked the texture and flavor of a real meatball well. The Cheezsteak was another one that really surprised me. It had that classic cheesesteak feel without the meat, although this wasn't a personal favorite of mine. And if you're a pesto lover, the Chick'n Parm Pesto is one you have to try. It was crispy, cheesy, saucy, and packed with pesto flavor. My favorite of the sandwiches! And great ciabatta bread. The Acai Bowl was the perfect refreshing way to finish everything. Very fresh fruit. The place is clean, well maintained, and has regular tables and bar seating. The staff member was helpful in helping us pick some popular options which was nice coming from another fellow omnivore. So if you're vegan, vegetarian, or just someone who loves good food, I'd say this is worth checking out!
