What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free desserts (e.g., a German chocolate brownie and a blueberry cheezcake) are explicitly mentioned as gluten-free.
- Gluten-free bread is referenced in a post noting that a fall special could be made GF with GF bread on request.
- Gluten-free beer is available.
- Gluten-free options are reportedly clearly marked on the menu.
- The restaurant is 100% plant-based, which can reduce gluten exposure in some dishes.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so some risk remains if gluten-containing items share surfaces or equipment.
- There is solid evidence of cross-contamination precautions: dedicated fryer and grill space for gluten-free options, change of gloves, and separate prep areas in some accounts.
- Staff are described as knowledgeable and able to explain precautions when celiac concerns are raised.
- Overall, evidence points to a structured approach to cc-practices rather than a guaranteed zero-risk environment.
