🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free bread (including GF focaccia) used to assemble gluten-free sandwiches.
  • Gluten-free sandwiches prepared in a separate area with glove changes when needed.
  • Gluten-free pasta salads (gf pasta) available upon request with advance notice.
  • Salad options that can be prepared with GF components and GF bread offered alongside meals; customers note guidance on safe sides and avoiding croutons.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not dedicated gluten-free. While there is substantial emphasis on separate prep areas and glove changes, the lack of a fully dedicated GF environment means some residual risk may exist if measures aren’t consistently followed, especially during peak times or with high-volume orders.
  • A few customer notes point to the importance of calling ahead or giving staff time to prepare GF items in a separate area, and to select sides carefully to avoid cross-contact.
