Review of Gjusta

If you are gluten-free, DO NOT COME HERE. I live near by and have been wanting to try this place because of their gluten-free options and gluten-free bread. I went for the first time today.

I ordered the breakfast sandwich with gluten-free bread. The cashier told me there are absolutely no substitutions allowed, so that’s not an option. She then suggested that I get the sandwich with a side of gluten-free bread, and that I could take the regular bread off and reconstruct it myself. I explained that wouldn’t help my gluten intolerance because the food will have already touched regular bread. She then advised that I not eat here at all because “everything is cross-contaminated.”

She told me that their gluten-free bread is actually NOT GLUTEN-FREE. She said the “gluten-free” bread touches all of the same regular floured surfaces when it is made.

I can definitely respect that some restaurants don’t allow substitutions, but I don’t understand how this place gets away with claiming they have gluten-free bread and gluten-free options.

In summary, if you are gluten-free, DO NOT COME HERE. If you are not gluten-free, I’m sure you’ll love it.
