🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free subs made with Udi’s gluten-free bread
  • Sub in a tub / bowl option for those avoiding bread
  • Gluten-free cookies (Udi’s), sometimes available packaged
  • Any sandwich can often be made gluten-free with proper precautions (gloves changed, dedicated knife, parchment paper, back-area prep)
  • gloves changed
  • dedicated knife and separate prep area or sheet of parchment

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a factor in a shared kitchen environment.
  • The strongest safety signals come from frequent, explicit gluten-free prep protocols (glove changes, dedicated knives, back area prep, parchment barriers). When these steps are followed, many diners report no adverse reactions.
  • Busy times can slow down the process, and there are occasional reports of variability across staff or locations. However, many patrons explicitly praise staff for maintaining safety during peak times.
  • Overall, the risk is not zero, but the weight of recent, location-specific evidence suggests careful handling can minimize cross-contact when the allergy is clearly communicated.
