What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free French toast (prepared with separate equipment in some visits)
- Omelettes or egg-based breakfasts served with gluten-free toast
- Farmhouse Hash Bowl with gluten-free toast
- Shrimp and grits with gluten-free toast
- Quinoa protein bowls (gluten-free, with at least one report of a safety check via a sensor)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risks exist in this type of operation, since it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Several reviews mention shared toasters, shared grills, or uncertainty about whether items like toast are cooked separately in all locations.
- Reported precautions vary by visit: some guests describe dedicated spaces, separate pans or utensils, and marked allergen plates; others describe gaps or busy-times challenges.
- A minority of reviews recount illness after dining, underscoring that safety depends on clear communication and strict adherence to prep protocols during every visit.
- Overall, safety depends on asking detailed questions (allergies vs. celiac), confirming how items are prepared, and requesting separation of gluten-containing and gluten-free preparations.
