I *love* their coffees. Absolutely delicious. Amazing atmosphere, too. Sadly there isn’t anything for a celiac to eat (besides some prepackaged bars and dry looking fare from Something Sweet Without Wheat). i almost dared to try their flourless chocolate cake but it was behind a delicious looking crumbly cake in the case and I couldn’t risk cross contamination. Everything looks delicious though. Hoping they’ll expand their gf options someday.

Wonderful flourless chocolate cake! They also have some prepackaged gf cookies. Love the cappuccino too! Hope they will expand gf options in the future. In the meantime, a great treat!

There are zero gluten free options. When I asked if they had gluten free sandwiches the server said no but directed me to a QR code with the allergen menu to see if there was anything I could eat. When I looked through it there were only two gluten-free options, both soups. When I asked the servers if they had the soups they said they don’t do them anymore, so there was nothing I could eat.

I visited today and asked for a gluten free croissant or scone.... none!

I asked what gluten free products they could provide..... only gluten free crisps or rice cakes!

I think that this is appalling in this day and age

Caffe Nero is a terrible place for anyone who eats gluten free. You have to walk by a long display case of all these beautiful pastries and sandwiches on gorgeous bread, then at the cash register all They have is done store-bought gluten free fig bars and tiny bags of nuts. I have seen before cookies from Something Sweet Without Wheat but they didn't even have a space for anything like that today. Also the barista mentioned that not all of their hot chocolate is gluten free (?!) He said the Ghirardelli hot chocolate is bit the "other one" that they use is not. Just skip this place!
