🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free bread (and gluten-free dinner rolls) reported as available and used.
  • Gluten-free bread pudding reported as an option.
  • Tonga Toast prepared with gluten-free bread (gf version) has been discussed in reviews.
  • Gluten-free waffles (Stitch version) mentioned in gluten-free/ dairy-free breakfast discussions.
  • Gluten-free cheesecake noted as a safe-seeming dessert option in at least one review.
  • Separate gluten-free items often come with marked indicators and separate serving when possible.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is some inherent cross-contamination risk in theory.
  • There are mixed past notes from longer-ago reviews about handling and contamination concerns, but many recent experiences highlight positive safety practices: allergy menus, clearly marked gluten-free items, and in some cases, dedicated fryers and separate service for gluten-free components.
  • As with any dining experience for celiac safety, it’s best to:
  • explicitly mention celiac disease to the server and ask to speak with the chef or kitchen lead.
  • confirm which dishes are prepared with dedicated utensils, cookware, and fryers, and whether separate plating is used.
  • review the current gluten-free options and any modifications or substitutions before ordering.
