New Portage Eatery Promises to Be 100% Plant-Based & Gluten-Free

If you're someone who follows a strictly gluten-free or plant-based diet, you may be happy to learn that more dining options are coming to the Kalamazoo area.

On their Facebook page, Sweet Bees Gluten Free Bakery, in Paw Paw, announced that they are opening a new eatery in Portage.

GloFoods, as it will be called, will offer sandwiches, soups, charcuterie, and more that will be 100% gluten-free and plant-based.  Now, this is a brand new announcement.
