What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free breakfast sandwiches (supported as GF; bun noted in multiple reviews)
- Gluten-free cookies (gluten-free chocolate chip cookies mentioned)
- Gluten-free buns used for sandwiches (explicitly referenced in at least one positive experience)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk when GF food is prepared alongside gluten-containing items.
- Some diners encountered or noted displays where GF and non-GF items were in proximity; a few guests elected to have items sourced from back stock to reduce risk.
- Positive safety practices cited by staff and customers include glove changes, clean surfaces, and dedicated GF trays or workspaces in certain scenarios, but consistency across all orders isn’t guaranteed based on older feedback.
