What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches
- Gluten-free pastries and prepackaged gluten-free baked goods
- Some items are explicitly described as GF, and staff have been noted to accommodate gluten-free requests (e.g., not toasting GF bread). There is no indication of a fully GF-only menu or a dedicated gluten-free facility, so guests should still communicate clearly about their needs.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contact risk exists in theory.
- Some GF items are packaged to limit contamination (e.g., GF baked goods wrapped in plastic). This packaging is a practical precaution, but not a guarantee that every gluten-containing item is fully segregated in the kitchen.
- As with many cafes, there is potential exposure if guests choose items without explicit GF labeling or staff confirmation.
