What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Omelets prepared without toast
- Salads (GF options)
- Bistro Burger served on gluten-free bread or without a bun (GF bread is available for burgers and sandwiches)
- Breakfast items that can be made GF with bread substitutions (e.g., Big Bite Breakfast with gluten-free bread)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The kitchen is not labeled as dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination is a real concern.
- Fryer oil and shared cooking surfaces can transfer gluten if not carefully managed; some items may be prepared in a way that introduces gluten into otherwise safe components.
- Documentation indicates staff should notify and use fresh oil and clean surfaces to reduce risk, but the practical execution depends on the specific kitchen practices at the location.
- Individual experiences vary: some diners reported safe outcomes with careful ordering, while others encountered potential gluten exposure or mixed signals about what is truly GF.
