What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Frittata (without toast) — prepared in a single pan, with glove changes possible to limit cross-contact.
- Veggie scramble — prepared in a separate pan.
- Salad (one of the salads) — noted as safe in at least one account.
- Kombucha (gluten-free drink) — explicitly mentioned as celiac-safe.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Harbor Café is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises the baseline risk of cross-contamination.
- Some reviews emphasize the kitchen being exposed to gluten-containing bread and related items, making careful handling essential.
- Positive notes from staff and some preparation practices (separate pans, glove changes) exist, but they may not apply to every dish, and not all items are described as safe.
