Review of Chimera Cafe

I went to Chimera today for lunch since they have gluten free options. I let the person taking our order know that I have celiac and asked if the gluten free food can be made in a way that avoids cross contact with gluten containing items. They said no, everything is made on the same surfaces and there is no way to avoid cross contact and they don’t want me to get sick. I let them know I appreciated the honesty because I’d much rather them let me know if they can’t accommodate so that I don’t get sick. This was my first time there since being diagnosed so I’m unsure of others experiences, but this was my experience today. If you’re not celiac and cross contact isn’t an issue then it might be ok, but I wanted to share.
