Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled cheese sandwiches made with gluten-free bread
- Gluten-free macaroni and cheese (GF mac and cheese), where offered
- Tomato soup identified as gluten-free in certain orders
- Gluten-free bread options (Rise Bakery bread) used for GF builds in many cases
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a persistent risk.
- Several recent anecdotes describe illness after dining, highlighting that cross-contact can occur despite precautions.
- Reports vary in execution: some staff describe glove changes, separate prep spaces, and labeled trays; others describe inconsistent practices or missing formal allergy flags at ordering points.
- Ordering systems (kiosk) can lack visible allergy flags unless staff verify directly.
