What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread used for sandwiches and breakfast items.
- Omelettes (and other egg dishes) prepared with attention to cross-contact (e.g., cooked in a separate skillet).
- French toast or other items prepared with gluten-free bread on request.
- Potatoes or hash browns prepared to be gluten-free (as noted by a guest who requested GF preparation).
- Gluten-free toast made in a dedicated gluten-free toaster.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries a higher risk than fully GF labs or dedicated GF kitchens.
- Some menu items are available GF on request rather than being labeled clearly on the breakfast menu, so proactive communication with staff is important.
- There is at least one note of concern from a guest about a cashier’s knowledge, underscoring the value of speaking directly with kitchen staff about your needs.
- There is no dedicated GF fryer, and some fried offerings are not available; this reduces one common cross-contact risk but doesn’t eliminate all risks.
- Positive reports strongly emphasize precautions (dedicated toaster, separate cookware) for certain items, suggesting a pattern of careful handling when GF requests are made.
