Celiac safety profile
Playa Bowls
Health Food Restaurant
744B 9th St, Durham, NC 27705
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Acai bowls (bases like acai, pitaya, and coconut bowls) prepared with gluten-free granola or without granola.
- Smoothie bowls that can be topped with gluten-free granola.
- Gluten-free granola itself, available as a topping or substitution.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a potential risk if strict separation isn’t maintained.
- Several accounts emphasize careful practices (glove changes, separate prep spaces, allergy notes, and allergen stickers), but there are isolated reports of occasional miscommunication during busy periods.
- A post raised a caution that some gluten-free granola products may contain malt, which would compromise strict gluten-free status if not avoided or mitigated by using certified GF ingredients.
- If you have celiac disease, specify allergy, request back-area preparation or dedicated utensils when possible, and consider confirming the ingredients of any added toppings (like granola) before proceeding.
