🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free cinnamon rolls
  • Gluten-free pancakes
  • Gluten-free avocado toast
  • Gluten-free bread for sandwiches and similar toasts
  • These items are repeatedly described by diners as GF and safe, with many specifically noting they did not experience illness after dining.
  • The GF items are typically highlighted as part of a larger gluten-free menu, and several reviews emphasize the availability of a substantial GF selection.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists in principle.
  • Some diners reported safe experiences with clearly labeled GF items and dedicated serving practices, while a minority reported gluten exposures or cross-contamination during a visit.
  • Practices like color-coded plates and separate GF handling are common cues of safety, but not universal guarantees.
  • As with many GF-focused breakfast/brunch spots, outcomes vary depending on staff execution and kitchen procedures on a given day.
