What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches (featuring a grilled-cheese-style use with GF bread; toasting done separately per past note).
- Gluten-free breakfast items, treats, and drinks (extensive GF options noted by patrons).
- GF desserts mentioned in older reviews (e.g., GF burnt cheesecake) and GF cornbread with yogurt and peaches.
- Menu labeling indicating items made with GF oats as gluten-free (with a caution to verify ingredients for oat sensitivity).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact risk exists in principle.
- Some protective practices are noted (e.g., GF bread toasted separately for a sandwich; menu labeling for GF oats). The Recency shows some positive signals, but there is limited recent, dish-level confirmation.
- For individuals highly sensitive to oats, it’s advised to confirm ingredients, as some items may include or originate from oats despite labeling.
