🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free granola (GF granola) as a topping option for bowls and smoothies.
  • Gluten-free bases and toppings are commonly available, with many reviews noting that most items are gluten-free or can be made GF by choosing GF components.
  • Gluten-free oats are mentioned in some notes as part of GF options.
  • Glass-clean separation practices are described in some reports (e.g., separate prep areas, dedicated surfaces) for allergy-friendly bowls.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. That inherently carries cross-contact risk, especially in busy periods.
  • Many diners report that staff change gloves and use separate prep areas or cutting boards when handling orders flagged as allergy-related; some accounts note moments when this protocol wasn’t followed, particularly during busy times.
  • The prevalence of GF granola and other GF options is high, but cross-contact risk remains if separate spaces or equipment aren’t consistently used for every GF order.
  • Overall, precautions appear robust in recent experiences, but there are occasional mixed outcomes noted by some diners, especially when the kitchen is busy.
