Review


There were only a handful of choices for gluten free, including pancakes, as the GF corn bread french toast is no longer on the menu. No bacon or sausage is GF, other than supposedly the vegi varieties (which I wasn't certain about, so I passed on trying those, since many "vegi" substitutes have gluten--and frankly, many real meat bacon and sausages are GF, depending on the brand).

I chose Café Buna based on the great reviews it had.

I explained my extreme sensitivity, as I am a Celiac at the extreme of bodily reacting to cross-contamination (extreme food poisoning symptoms).

The waitress was definitive that only a handful of items were GF...and she was confident they were truly GF (unlike some places that say "well, it only has a little gluten"). She even gave me separate syrup which was GF.

Unfortunately, after eating there I had the worst reaction I have had in 8 years, since before I was diagnosed with Celiac. It ruined my entire day and made a studio tour an absolute nightmare.

If you're a celiac with extreme sensitivity, stay clear!!
