What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free granola is explicitly available and can be added to bowls or smoothies as a safe, common customization.
- A large portion of the menu can be made gluten-free by using GF bases and toppings, with many reviewers highlighting the ability to substitute GF granola and to request allergen-conscious preparation.
- Important preparation notes you may encounter: staff may use separate equipment for GF orders, washed hands, fresh gloves, and back-area assembly to minimize cross-contact.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The site is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a consideration.
- Several reviews recount situations where miscommunication or busy periods led to temporary lapses, underscoring the value of clear allergy reminders and ongoing staff diligence.
- Overall, most reports emphasize proactive measures (gloves, separate prep spaces, allergy notes, and separate utensils) but a few experiences remind diners to remain vigilant, especially during peak times.
