The demand for gluten-free dining is rising, but true certified options remain rare. PowerSoul Café is changing that. It is the first fast-food chain to achieve certified gluten-free status, ensuring all meals contain less than five parts per million (ppm) of gluten or undetectable levels. This remarkable achievement sets a new industry standard, making safe, gluten-free fast food a reality.
A Vision for Gluten-Free Innovation
Founder Dina Mitchell launched PowerSoul Café in March 2024 with a clear goal: provide a quick, nutritious, and truly gluten-free dining experience. Many restaurants claim to be gluten-free, but PowerSoul Café ensures every menu item meets the highest safety standards.
To achieve this, Dina partnered with the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) to understand rigorous certification requirements. A dedicated central kitchen produces all menu items, ensuring quality control across locations. Ingredient suppliers are personally vetted to maintain the 5 ppm standard, and staff undergo specialized gluten-free training.
A Commitment to Gluten-Free Safety
Unlike other fast-food chains, PowerSoul Café takes extra steps to maintain strict gluten-free practices. Regular onsite testing guarantees compliance, and employees complete mandatory training through the GFFP online education platform. This training, offered in English, French, and Spanish, ensures every team member understands the importance of gluten-free safety.
Giving Back to the Gluten-Free Community
Beyond serving delicious food, PowerSoul Café is committed to philanthropy and education. Dina Mitchell partnered with the National Celiac Association (NCA), which endorses the GFFP certification program.
PowerSoul Café raises awareness and funds for NCA through grand openings, special events, and holiday promotions. Customers can support the cause by rounding up their final bill or purchasing select menu items.
Chris Rich, CEO of NCA, praised the partnership:
“PowerSoul Café’s dedication to the celiac and gluten-free community is unmatched. Their commitment to safe dining and giving back makes them an invaluable partner.”
Paying it Forward
PowerSoul Café is dedicated to paying it forward and making a positive impact in the communities it serves. Through various initiatives, the café supports those in need while providing a delicious, healthy dining experience.
- Water is Good for the Soul: With every purchase of PowerSoul Café’s 100% recyclable and reusable logo bottled water, 25 cents is donated to community initiatives.
- Change Can Make a Change: Customers have the option to round up their order to the next dollar, with the difference being donated to local charities.
- Smoothie Sospeso: Inspired by the Italian tradition of “caffè sospeso”, customers can buy one smoothie and leave one suspended for someone in need. The collected funds are donated directly to help individuals facing food insecurity.
