What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Açaí bowls prepared with gluten-free granola (GF granola substituted for the standard granola) are explicitly supported as a safe customization option.
- Smoothies and smoothie bowls are described as having gluten-free options, making them a practical safe choice when GF ingredients are selected.
- Gluten-free granola is available as a topping and is often handled in a way that supports gluten-free orders (with staff substitutions and attention to avoid cross-contact).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business profile notes it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact risk remains a consideration, especially during peak times.
- A number of recent reports emphasize proactive cross-contact precautions: changing gloves, using separate cutting boards or prep areas for allergy orders, allergy stickers on bowls, and notes on the order indicating the allergy. However, there are also reports of less consistent execution in some visits, underscoring the importance of vigilant communication and observation.
- Occasional older experiences describe more mixed results when handling allergy orders, reminding us that safety can vary by staff and momentary circumstances.
