What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free cakes and baked goods are clearly featured, with cakes described as gluten-free and made in-house, with a variety of flavours (e.g., Chocolate, Vanilla, Red Velvet, Lemon, Banana, Cappuccino, Carrot, Spice, Strawberry, White Velvet) and multiple frosting options.
- Other gluten-free items are indicated as part of the GF menu providers, including desserts, bread/buns, pasta, pizza, acai bowls, and apple pie.
- A dedicated gluten-free fryer is mentioned in some listings, suggesting steps taken to minimize cross-contact for fried items.
- The cafe also highlights vegan and vegetarian options among its offerings, expanding safe choices for different dietary needs.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The strongest signals point to cross-contamination minimization: there is explicit language in recent experiences about a gluten-free environment and dedicated practices.
- While most evidence aligns with very low cross-contact risk, the collected information does not provide a full, step-by-step kitchen protocol. The presence of a dedicated gluten-free facility and dedicated fryer mitigates concerns, but absolute guarantees aren’t stated beyond the sources provided.
- Recency matters here: two weeks ago, customers reaffirmed the gluten-free safety and staff attentiveness, strengthening confidence in current practices.
