What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Churros made with rice flour (gluten-free). The establishment uses rice flour in its gluten-free offerings, and churros are a core item reported as gf-safe.
- Mochi churro bites (gluten-free). These bite-sized treats are noted in multiple accounts as part of the GF lineup.
- Note: The menu has shifted at times, with indications that churros may be the primary or sole gluten-free option, so verify current offerings when you arrive.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk is minimized by a dedicated gluten-free facility designation, which signals strong precautions in production and handling.
- There is at least one older account suggesting potential misinterpretation of “gluten-free” as “wheat-free,” which could cause confusion for celiac diners. While newer evidence points to stronger GF safety signals, it’s prudent to confirm ingredient details for any item and communicate your needs clearly with staff, especially when navigating a shared or transit-use space.
