What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free donuts (noted to be made with rice flour in at least one account and kept in a separate case).
- Gluten-free cakes, including wedding cakes, available via special orders.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- There are reported safety measures: gluten-free items kept in a separate case and handling with gloves in some accounts, along with explicit mentions of careful cross-contamination practices by staff.
- While the protections are encouraging and supported by recent reviews, the lack of a dedicated facility means there is some inherent cross-contamination risk compared to strictly GF-only operations.
