What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free subs served on Schär gluten-free buns. These are prepared with glove changes and various cross-contact precautions (including separate preparation areas in some cases and foil-wrapped toasting).
- The gluten-free bun is an on-menu option at many locations, and orders can be flagged as allergy-friendly to help staff follow precautions.
- If you choose items that are typically assembled with GF buns and request careful handling, many diners report safe experiences.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The most important caveat is that this restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a possibility.
- The official materials acknowledge that an entirely gluten-free experience cannot be guaranteed due to shared kitchen operations.
- Some diners have noted toasting gluten-free buns in foil or confirming separate prep areas, but practices may vary by location and shift.
- Occasional bread stock issues (e.g., recalls or temporary unavailability) can limit GF options and may require planning ahead.
