What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free subs prepared on gluten-free bread (Schär buns) for various sandwiches.
- Sub sandwiches that are prepared with new gloves and separate surfaces/back-line when allergy is noted.
- GF buns are sometimes kept separate (pre-packaged or foil-wrapped) to minimize cross-contact.
- Orders are often marked or labeled as gluten-free to help staff and customers track safety.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists by nature of a sub shop environment.
- Toasting may occur in shared equipment unless steps are explicitly taken (some diners report toasting on foil or in dedicated trays, but practices may vary by order and time).
- While many reviews highlight proactive measures (glove changes, separate prep lines, labeled orders), there are historical notes reminding diners that complete elimination of cross-contact cannot be guaranteed across all items and locations.
