Brightside Cafe

Brightside Café is a 100% gluten-free restaurant located at 101 West Kirkwood Avenue in Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington, Indiana. Founded by Bloomington locals Abe Carney and John Moore in partnership with restaurateurs Elissa McKee and Thomas Moore, the café serves certified gluten-free breakfast, lunch, pastries, sandwiches, soups, and specialty coffee drinks. The business grew out of a desire to create a dedicated safe dining option for friends and family with gluten-restricted diets.
