Calico Cupboard Cafe & Bakery

UNSAFE for celiac. The food is amazing if you’re just on a diet. I had reactions time and time again eating there and didn’t know why. The staff didn’t think to inform me that they slice their gf bread on the same slicer as the regular bread.. without cleaning in between! (Yes I’m that sensitive.) and the cooks didn’t realize it’s not okay to use the same sandwich spread either. Either ignorance or complete disregard for cross-contamination precautions. This is the same for both of their locations.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not gluten free at all!! Gluten free bread sliced with same slicer as gluten bread👎 Bakery uses same area to make gluten free as well as gluten baked goods. Service was terrible and the food made us sick. Huge issue with putting Gluten free on the menu👎👎👎

Celiac friendly?

No

Good food but beware if you have celiac don't eat there all GF products are made with the regular bakery goods. I got sick shortly after eating there.

absolutely amazing food. i got a roast beef sandwich and the gf bread tasted a little like rye!!! i was in heaven. ill be back time and time again even though its 1.5 hrs from seattle!!!!!!

I eat the Skagit hash and the GF triple berry muffin. I have never gotten sick from that. You cannot do the bread here as it’s sliced on a shared slicer and toasted in a shared toaster.

The use the same toaster to toast gf bread and gluten bread. I informed them both times I had celiac and didn't mind not having food if there was a high chance of cross contamination and I was assured everything would be fine. Both times I was sick.

I tried this place for the first time abut a week ago, I talked with my waitor about the severity of my celiac disease and he assured me that he will make notes and that everything will be made on a freshly cleaned grill, I was very relived. When my omelet with gf toast came out I double checked that everything was made without cross contamination, he assured me again and seemed to be getting annoyed. I have been extremely sick for about a week now. Called this place and they told me that the store slice and toast their gluten free bread with regular bread, very frustrating experience!

I ate here twice in 4 day period! Great meals, clean and safe for celiacs!! The Italian scrambled eggs with lots of potatoes was delicious and filling! Lunch had the clam chowder with sautéed onions and potatoes and generous amt of clams was delicious!! I had a gf toasted bread club layered with Turkey and bacon! Outstanding! Bought 4 giant gf cookies, gingerbread and snickerdoodles! Scrumptious!!!
