🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pancakes (many flavors) prepared GF and often served on color-coded plates to distinguish them as GF.
  • Gluten-free crepes
  • Gluten-free waffles
  • Gluten-free omelettes (eggs prepared GF)
  • Hash browns prepared GF
  • Bacon and other breakfast meats that diners report as GF when prepared carefully

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a potential risk in theory.
  • Some reports indicate that cross-contact could occur if shared surfaces or grills are used, especially when the establishment is very busy or when specific items are prepared near gluten-containing foods.
  • A few diners have described situations where GF items were not prepared separately or where miscommunication led to unintended gluten exposure.
  • Overall, the strongest positives come from staff being knowledgeable, asking questions, and using measures like color-coded plates and, in many cases, dedicated prep areas. But the existence of reports stating otherwise means vigilance is still warranted.
