⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contamination precautions rely on staff protocols rather than a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. This is a common caveat in the setting.
  • There are some older negative notes from years past, including at least one report suggesting potential cross-contamination concerns in takeout contexts. However, the overwhelming majority of recent experiences describe safe, celiac-aware service, with staff proactively addressing allergies and labeling.
  • As with any non-dedicated facility, ongoing mindfulness about cross-contamination remains prudent, especially for diners with very high sensitivity or multiple allergies.
