What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- The collection emphasizes GF pastries such as donuts and muffins, including mochi-based varieties. The menu describes items like the Mochi Muffin and mochi donuts made with rice flour and dairy ingredients, which aligns with a GF product line when produced in a dedicated GF facility.
- Evidence points to a full gluten-free offering: phrases in reviews explicitly state “gluten-free across the board” and “dedicated gluten-free donuts, muffins, waffles, and drinks.”
- For anyone seeking gluten-free options, the shop appears to provide a range of GF pastries and beverages, with many items described or reviewed as safe for celiacs.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- A reviewer noted that while the retail site is dedicated gluten-free, the pastry-making area reportedly allows employees to bring in wheat for lunches. The concern here is potential cross-contact in the production environment, though the report also suggests this might be limited to certain spaces (employee lunch room). This is a nuance to monitor, not a blanket contraindication.
- Dairy content is present in several items (butter and dairy milk noted in the menu), which is relevant for those with dairy allergies or intolerances. This is separate from gluten risk but important for overall safety considerations.
