What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Acai Bowls or Smoothies that can be prepared with gluten-free granola as an add-in.
- Bowls that are naturally gluten-free and can be customized to use GF ingredients (e.g., GF granola substituted for standard toppings).
- Gluten-free granola is an openly offered option to help ensure gluten-free customization.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not labeled as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists.
- Numerous accounts describe practices like changing gloves, using separate prep spaces, and keeping allergen notes on orders, which mitigate risk when followed.
- An external, non-store-specific note mentions that GF granola can contain malt, which would introduce gluten if present; this is a potential risk to consider, especially for those with very high sensitivity.
- Busy periods can introduce communication gaps, so clear allergy reminders and staff diligence remain important.
