⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk that isn’t eliminated.
- Several guests acknowledge that the establishment cannot guarantee 100% risk-free conditions, especially during busy times. However, many also report strong, proactive measures (glove changes, separate storage, back-line scooping, parchment or specific handling when heating or pressing) that significantly mitigate risk.
- Occasional reports of limited GF options or items temporarily unavailable exist, which can affect meal planning for those with stricter needs. Overall, the pattern of precautions is consistent across many recent visits.
