⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is strong evidence of cross-contamination controls: the kitchen is described as dedicated gluten-free, with references to separate equipment and space, and staff able to confirm GF status for items.
- Reviews indicate that the owner has celiac and is deeply involved in menu safety, and staff are able to wipe down surfaces or adjust practices to ensure safety when asked.
- The primary risk noted is items that normally come with gluten-containing buns; when buns are omitted (or items are ordered as GF without buns), the risk is reduced. Some items explicitly noted as GF except buns, so vigilance on bun components remains important.
