What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free sandwiches made with gluten-free buns (commonly Schär buns) prepared with new gloves, on foil, and with separate utensils/areas when possible.
- GF buns available for many subs; bun is often sealed or packaged, and staff can guide which items are safe with the GF option.
- If you’re ordering, you can specify allergy-facing handling and request back-line preparation to minimize cross-contact.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists despite precautions.
- Some items, like meatballs, inherently contain gluten; choosing these without a gluten-free bun is not safe for celiac diners.
- GF bread stock can run out, leading to interim substitutions that may alter safety and timing.
- While many reviews describe thorough practices (glove changes, dedicated prep areas, foil use, labeling), these practices can vary by location and shift, so it’s wise to verify current precautions at the moment you order.
