What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free granola (explicitly offered in shops).
- Bowls and toppings prepared with gluten-free granola when requested (supported by multiple guest experiences and staff practices).
- The menu emphasizes bowls and smoothies built around GF-friendly ingredients, with frequent reminders to confirm allergies and use separate prep when needed.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free site, so cross-contact risk exists.
- Some reviews note that the kitchen is not dedicated to gluten-free prep; there are reports of back-area prep, separate surfaces, and glove changes, but variability can occur, especially when demand is high.
- Several diners describe proactive practices (glove changes, separate cutting boards, allergen notes, and “allergy” markings) that reduce risk, yet occasional miscommunication or timing issues are possible in busier periods.
