What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bagels (Plain GF and Everything GF) are explicitly mentioned as available, with reports of a separate GF toaster used for toasting. This is the clearest, explicitly-supported option.
- There are references to other GF-friendly items (e.g., GF bagels being toasted separately and staff being mindful of celiac needs in some reviews). However, specific gluten-free dishes beyond the GF bagels aren’t itemized in a way that can be safely listed as definitive “options” without risk of overreach.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which introduces a baseline cross-contamination concern.
- Several recent experiences note the importance of confirming gluten-free handling, including whether the GF bagel is toasted separately and whether gloves or prep stations are changed. A few diners explicitly questioned safety or had delays in accommodations, which underscores the potential for inconsistent experiences.
- Positive signals repeatedly mention a dedicated GF toaster and staff awareness, but there are also recent accounts that raise caution about timing and perceptions of safety.
