What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free granola topping (substitution for the regular granola)
- Smoothies (stated to be gluten-free)
- Quinoa-based breakfast porridge options (gluten-free Ancient Grains offerings)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk cannot be fully ruled out.
- There are reports of allergy labeling on orders and steps to prevent cross-contact (e.g., cleaning practices for equipment like blenders), but these practices are not described as foolproof or exhaustive.
- While there are gluten-free items and clear GF labeling, the lack of a dedicated facility is a meaningful safety concern for someone with celiac disease.
