What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free toast (bread) prepared in a dedicated space or on a separate toaster.
- Gluten-free French toast prepared with separate equipment or in a dedicated prep area.
- Omelets and other egg dishes prepared gluten-free (e.g., cooked in separate pans with gloves changed as needed).
- Quinoa/protein bowls or power bowls labeled or prepared as gluten-free.
- Gluten-free bread substitutions for sandwiches or bowls where available.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are occasional reports of cross-contact risk, including shared toasters or uncertain toaster handling in some locations, and a few diners who experienced discomfort or illness after dining.
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Some patrons report positive experiences with separate prep areas and allergen marks, but others note inconsistencies or gaps in safety practices.
- As with many gluten-free-focused chains, the safest approach is to explicitly confirm current gluten-free procedures for each dish (especially regarding toasting, grills, and shared equipment) at the moment of ordering.
