What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Banana-based soft serve (the core product, made from bananas and dairy-free) – repeatedly described as gluten-free in practice.
- Acai bowls and banana-centric desserts that are commonly treated as GF in the collected experiences.
- Toppings and add-ons frequently paired with the banana-based offerings, such as fresh fruit and honey; some signatures include macadamia butter as a topping.
- Granola and mochi toppings are repeatedly flagged in reviews as potential gluten-containing items or as not consistently GF; some reviewers avoid them or request substitutions.
- A few reviews mention cross-contamination concerns, including a case where an attentive server indicated potential risks and a separate instance where a guest experienced a reaction after assurances of safety. These highlight the importance of asking staff about current ingredients and preparation practices on the day of your visit.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists with toppings like granola and mochi, according to several review notes.
- Some menu items may be produced in ways that could involve shared facilities or ingredients that are not strictly GF; staff questions and explicit confirmations are advised.
- There is at least one reported incident where a server’s assurances did not align with a guest’s reaction, underscoring the need for direct, up-to-date confirmation when you order.
- Despite mixed signals in some posts, there are many positives about staff knowledge and proactive safety measures, which helps balance risk with prudent communication.
