🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Egg sandwich on a gluten-free bun
  • Bacon and avocado sandwich on a gluten-free bun
  • Sausage egg breakfast sandwich on a gluten-free bun
  • Avocado toast served on a gluten-free bread product (e.g., gluten-free bagel)
  • Power bowl described as made with gluten-free oats
  • Roasted potatoes as a side (noted in some experiences as part of a gluten-free meal)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible depending on kitchen processes.
  • Staff knowledge and training quality appear variable across reports: some diners felt heard and accommodated, while others encountered gaps in understanding celiac needs and cross-contact risks.
  • Menu labeling for gluten-free options isn’t consistently explicit, which means you may need to ask and confirm every order directly with the kitchen.
  • Positive recent experiences exist, but they are not universal, so predictability may be limited.
