What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bagels (GF bagels) are explicitly mentioned as an option.
- Fresh toppings like avocado and tomato are cited as safe when prepared, with notes that these can be served separately from potential gluten-containing components.
- Other toppings and combinations (e.g., bagel with cream cheese and salmon) are mentioned; safety depends on prep practices, which staff reportedly discuss with guests.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists if frying or other shared prep steps are involved; staff may advise on which items are safer (e.g., avoiding fried components) and emphasize fresh glove use.
- There are conflicting historical anecdotes: one older review suggested GF bagels might be stored with regular bagels, indicating a contamination risk, while multiple newer reports describe separate toasters and glove changes.
- The airport setting can amplify variability in handling practices, but current feedback emphasizes proactive safety measures and guest-specific inquiries.
