What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Popover (gluten-free; repeatedly praised as a standout item)
- Bagels (gluten-free bagels often highlighted as a safe staple)
- Donuts (gluten-free donuts available and widely enjoyed)
- Sourdough bread (gluten-free sourdough bread referenced positively)
- Sandwiches and panini options (gf bread used; gyro, Reuben and other sandwiches noted in reviews)
- Fries and other sides (gluten-free options frequently mentioned as safe)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is marketed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which strongly mitigates cross-contact risk in the kitchen.
- An older, isolated review mentions soy spray on baking pans, but there is no clear, current evidence within the collected information to indicate this remains a present risk. Given the current 100% GF status, ongoing cross-contamination risk is considered UNKNOWN rather than evidenced.
- There is no in-restaurant dining option noted in the recent evidence; takeout/delivery means cross-contact considerations shift to packaging and transport, but safety labeling remains a strength.
