What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bagels used for sandwiches, including egg sandwiches on GF bagels.
- Pre-packaged gluten-free bagels (appearing to be a common brand) that are described as safe from cross-contact when used to prepare an egg sandwich.
- Any egg sandwich built on a gluten-free bagel (as described in reviews) is a potential safe option when prepared with care.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free operation. This means some level of cross-contact risk may remain.
- Positive signals from patrons include separate equipment, glove changes, and separate knives in some cases, but such practices are not guaranteed for every item or visit.
- There is evidence of GF bagels and GF-focused sandwiches, but no explicit certification or facility-wide dedication to gluten-free practices.
