✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches.
- Gluten-free desserts such as lemon tart, strawberry cheesecake, and brownie (noted in some recent experiences).
- Fries or chips prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (explicitly stated in some listings).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risk is a live concern in a dairy-and-deli-style cafe setting: some reports indicate shared fryers as a potential risk, while other notes claim a dedicated gluten-free fryer and separate prep steps exist.
- Some diners report staff taking allergy notices seriously and using separate areas or labeling orders for cross-contact prevention; other accounts describe inconsistent handling of GF items.
- Packaging GF desserts to minimize exposure is mentioned, but not universally guaranteed.
