What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pastries from Rise Bakery (DC) that are delivered daily and kept on their own tray with a separate pair of tongs. They’re also described in some reports as being placed in separate to-go bags to avoid cross-contact.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility. That alone means there is an inherent cross-contamination risk if shared cooking/serving surfaces or non-GF items are present in the same space.
- Recent notes describe proactive handling practices for GF pastries (separate tray, dedicated tongs, separate bags for takeout), which is a strong positive signal for those specific items.
- Evidence around other gluten-containing items or broader kitchen practices is not explicit, so the overall safety for a strict celiac approach cannot be guaranteed.
