What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Breakfast and sandwiches made with house-made gluten-free bread (including GF breakfast sandwiches and generic GF bread for toasts/sandwiches).
- Pancakes that are described as gluten-free by default.
- Bowls with GF options (e.g., community bowls where chicken is added; some bowls prepared with attention to surfaces).
- Gluten-free baked goods (bread, cookies, muffins, banana bread, lemon cake, etc.).
- A variety of GF-friendly prepared items and to-go options (including GF bread for to-go sandwiches).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries a higher cross-contamination risk than truly dedicated GF operations.
- Some diners have reported illness after eating certain bowls, underscoring that risk remains for sensitive individuals.
- On the other hand, many reviews emphasize separate surfaces for GF items, dedicated GF bread, and staff who are knowledgeable about celiac precautions, which mitigates risk when ordering GF items.
