🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • All items on the menu are gluten-free due to the dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • Bread-based items for sandwiches and toasts ( GF bread ) are available.
  • Savory items like quiche Lorraine and eggs Benedict are repeatedly mentioned in the GF context.
  • Breakfast and lunch staples such as turkey club sandwiches, various pastries, and cakes (including lemon cheesecake and other desserts) are highlighted in GF-focused reviews.
  • Desserts and patisserie items are a major strength of the place, all gluten-free by design.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The overarching message from the evidence is that the restaurant operates as 100% gluten-free, which strongly mitigates cross-contamination risk in theory.
  • A single recent review raised a potential risk related to oats (oat milk and possibly oats/oat-containing breads). Oats can be problematic for some individuals with celiac disease, so if you are extremely sensitive or require oats completely avoided, verify ingredients before ordering oat-containing items.
  • A few accounts note that staff knowledge can vary; one instance involved a staffer’s initial claim about oats, later clarified after checking ingredients. This suggests a possible gap in internal knowledge at times, though the overall dedicated GF status remains the strongest safeguard.
