A WHOLE-KITCHEN PROMISE

Gluten-free.
Every day.
The whole kitchen.

No wheat, barley, or rye in our kitchen. Gluten-free is how we cook, from the first coffee to the last bagel.

Our owner, Jesse, has celiac disease. Macro³ was built around the kind of place he wanted to walk into: a dedicated gluten-free kitchen that purchases certified gluten-free ingredients.

We are not currently independently certified as a gluten-free restaurant. Other allergens, including milk, eggs, nuts, and sesame, are present; this is not an allergen-free kitchen. Tell us about your needs before ordering.

SAME OWNER. SAME CORNER. SINCE 2020.

“I built the place
I wanted to walk into.”

In 2016, Jesse Armenta looked up what was in his daily dirty chai and found 40 grams of sugar. Nobody had told him. He hadn’t asked. That moment became a belief: you deserve to know what’s in your food.

Aglaïa Coffee & Tea opened here in 2020 with gluten-free options, real protein, and organic ingredients. On September 29, 2026, it became Macro³ Kitchen: the same owner, team, corner, and organic Intelligentsia coffee—with a kitchen now entirely gluten-free.

The three stands for protein, carbs, and fat. Performance Kitchen means real food, made in a real kitchen, for whatever your day asks of you.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Ask us anything.

Is everything gluten-free?

Yes. Our entire kitchen is dedicated gluten-free, and we purchase certified gluten-free ingredients. The restaurant itself is not currently independently certified. Please call if you have specific ingredient or preparation questions.

Can I see the macros before ordering?

Yes—available recipe estimates are shown above. Some drinks and add-ons still need nutrition data. We show missing values clearly and keep net carbs separate from total carbs.

Do you have dairy-free options?

We offer oat, almond, and macadamia milk and our vegan Avocado-Mint Green Macro smoothie. Protein lattes contain whey and skim milk; switching milk alone does not make them dairy-free. Our kitchen handles dairy and other allergens.

Is your coffee still the same?

Yes. We still proudly brew organic Intelligentsia coffee and organic Rishi tea. Aglaïa regulars will recognize their coffee and the people behind the counter.

Do you cater?

Catering is in development. Tell us your date, group size, and what you have in mind, and we’ll discuss what’s possible. Email us about catering.
