Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free French toast (prepared with separate equipment in some cases)
  • Farmhouse Hash Bowl with gluten-free toast (GF toast used as a substitute)
  • Quinoa Breakfast Bowl (noted as a gluten-free item on the menu)
  • Omelettes or egg-based dishes served with gluten-free toast (reported as safe when prepared with dedicated processes)
  • Gluten-free toast itself (available in many visits; some reports indicate separate toasting, others note caution about shared toasting on certain days)
  • Gluten-free bread substitutions and other gluten-free components were repeatedly mentioned as available when staff followed proper procedures

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • There are incidents described where gluten-containing items appeared on plates or toast was prepared in shared equipment, leading to illness or concern. This highlights that cross-contamination risk is still present at times, especially during busy periods.
  • Some diners report no dedicated gluten-free toaster or kitchen separation, while others describe dedicated GF areas or separate toasters. The experience can vary by location, staff, and time of day.
  • The restaurant does offer allergen information online or via QR codes; however, the on-site labeling and transparency can be inconsistent, so proactive questions are important.
