Gluten-sensitive customers can get their patties wrapped in lettuce or kale.

The Drinks: Fountain pop, Perrier and milkshakes.

The Place: A modern malt shoppe with flashy Broadway-style signage and counter seats only. The 1,000-square-foot space, formerly the White Squirrel Snack Shop, was designed to match Parts & Labour’s minimalist aesthetic.
