What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten Free English Muffin available (as noted on the breakfast menu). This item is explicitly supported as a GF option.
- The menu and guest notes indicate gluten-free items are clearly marked and that the kitchen makes an effort to accommodate gluten-free needs, including separate cookware/use of gloves in some recent reports.
- No other specific gluten-free items are explicitly confirmed as universally safe in the collected information beyond the GF English muffin, so rely on staff guidance and menu markings when choosing.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Positive precautions frequently mentioned: staff knowledge about gluten-free needs and cross contamination, gloves changes, and at least one note of a separate surface for gluten-free cooking in some cases.
- Noted risks include potential cross-contamination with waffles and shared cooking surfaces like toasters or waffle irons; some guests have reported that certain GF options may still carry cross-contact risk.
- The restaurant isn’t described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so the risk of cross-contamination can vary by item and day.
