What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free sandwiches made with Schar GF buns are explicitly supported by multiple diners and reviews.
- When ordering, staff commonly use glove changes and separate handling for gluten-free items, sometimes wrapping the bun in foil or preparing on a separate back-line station.
- Although not guaranteed in every location, the gluten-free bun is offered broadly, and orders are often labeled or noted as gluten-free to guide prep.
- If you’re aiming to minimize risk, you can expect foods to be prepared with careful handling and, in many cases, with the gluten-free item set apart during assembly.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a possibility in a shared kitchen.
- Some items may be toasted in the same oven or on common equipment, though many customers report that foil-wrapped toasting and separate prep practices are used to mitigate risk.
- Bread stockouts and recalls have occurred, so availability can be inconsistent at times; verifying stock before you go is prudent.
- Overall, while precautions are common and well-regarded, the risk cannot be declared zero.
