Celiac safety profile
La Bicicleta Arepa Bar
Venezuelan Restaurant
12 S 8th St, Allentown, PA 18101
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Arepas (gluten-free). The ordering systems explicitly label some arepas as gluten-free, and a mini fried arepa item is described as gluten-free on the menu platform.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are conflicting anecdotes in the collected information: at least one older review suggested non-gluten-free handling concerns, while other recent notes emphasize safe gluten-free options and dedicated facilities.
- A single negative report cited a staff claim that all meats contain gluten, which contradicts other observations; this highlights that staff knowledge may vary and that cross-contact risks could exist if precautions aren’t consistently applied.
- Overall, the presence of a dedicated gluten-free facility flag reduces risk significantly, but real-world kitchen practices can vary, so it’s reasonable to verify current cross-contact measures with staff before ordering.
