What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free granola (GF granola) is explicitly offered in shops.
- Bowls and toppings can be prepared using GF granola, and several diners report bowls being prepared with separate ingredients or in back areas to reduce cross-contact when allergies are noted.
- The general approach at this location includes staff asking about allergies and taking steps to prevent cross-contamination during preparation.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free environment. That said, many patrons describe careful practices around allergies, including changing gloves, using separate prep surfaces, and marking bowls when prepared as gluten-free.
- Some reviews note variability depending on staff and busyness. A few experiences described mixed results when orders were rushed or when communication at the counter wasn’t perfect, underscoring that diligent ordering is important.
- The most frequently cited risk remains cross-contact, particularly around shared ingredients (though GF granola is available and can be used to minimize this risk when requested).
