What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread (primarily Udi’s) for subs, available as a standard option
- GF bowls/subs made without bread (to avoid cross-contact entirely)
- Gluten-free cookies and snacks (often Udi’s-brand, packaged)
- GF prep practices, including:
- GF bread prepared in separate area with dedicated knife
- Gloves changed and counters/equipment wiped down prior to GF prep
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated GF facility: cross-contact risk exists in principle, particularly in high-volume times or if staff deviations occur.
- Some reports describe variability between locations or shifts, with occasional gaps in adherence; however, the majority of recent experiences emphasize thorough cleaning, glove changes, separate prep areas, and dedicated GF tools.
- A few reviews describe less-than-ideal experiences (e.g., inconsistent execution during busy periods or lapses in process). These are comparatively rare against the large volume of positive reports.
- Overall risk level, given current evidence, remains low when gluten-free needs are clearly communicated and staff follow the GF protocol.
