What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free mini cakes (GF minis) are available in at least 2 flavors daily. Examples of GF mini flavors (marked as GF where indicated) include Turtle, Caramel, Ginger, Pumpkin, Choc Choc Chip, Pistachio, and Sweet Potato.
- Gluten-free chocolate cake is specifically mentioned as a safe GF option by a reviewer.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free operation. While there is evidence of precautions and positive experiences, the absence of a stated dedicated gluten-free environment means some risk may remain for highly sensitive individuals.
- Positive reviews mention the staff answering questions and taking precautions, which suggests attention to celiac safety, but the lack of formal, explicit cross-contamination protocols in the data means diners should still communicate their needs and assess comfort level on a case-by-case basis.
