- Gluten-free panini options (bread used for toasts/paninis can be gluten-free).
- General gluten-free bread used for sandwiches when requested.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out entirely.
- Positive signals include reports of a separate area (or toaster) for gluten-free items and staff who acknowledge gluten-free needs. However, these precautions are not guaranteed for every order.
- Some external commentary cautions that the establishment may not be fully safe for those with celiac disease, underscoring the importance of clear, explicit gluten-free handling at the moment of service.
