What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free French toast (prepared with GF bread and noted to be cooked in a way that minimizes cross-contact)
- Quinoa breakfast bowl (explicitly described as gluten-free on some menus/reviews)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risk exists in the shared kitchen environment. There are multiple accounts of toasters and grills that may be shared, especially when the restaurant is busy.
- Positive signals include allergen markers on meals, dedicated areas or tools for gluten-free preparation, staff who are knowledgeable about gluten-free needs, and availability of a QR-based allergen guide. Negative anecdotes emphasize the ongoing need for vigilance during peak times and the importance of confirming preparation details with the staff.
- To reduce risk, consider: clearly communicating your celiac status, asking whether dedicated devices and surfaces will be used for your order, and requesting to see how your food will be prepared before it’s cooked.
