🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Acai bowls can be made with gluten-free granola.
  • Gluten-free granola is available for acai bowls.
  • Gluten-free bread can be used as a substitute for a bagel; this is prepared on a panini press with some separation (wax paper between sides) described by a patron who experienced it.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a theoretical risk unless strict, explicit precautions are followed.
  • At least one patron noted cross-contamination awareness from staff, while a separate account described using gluten-free bread on a panini press with some protective layering. This suggests partial precautions, but not a guaranteed gluten-free environment.
  • Shared equipment (e.g., panini presses) and standard kitchen practices could introduce gluten into otherwise GF items if careful separation isn’t maintained consistently.
