    Did you know that our entire menu is gluten-free, dairy-free, and natural sugar only?! We aim to serve healthy, nutritious meals for all to come and enjoy! For us, an emphasis on nutrition is equally important, as studies have shown a link between nutrition and neurodiversity (Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2013; Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017). Stop by and visit Thursdays and Fridays from 11:30am to 1:30pm. See you soon! Meristem
