IKEA

My family and I went to IKEA for breakfast. I asked if a specific item (the sausage) contained wheat. The worker looked up the ingredients (which I appreciate!) and confirmed that it did. I then asked if they could substitute the sausage with bacon in their breakfast meal. They would not. I then asked the manager... She would not accommodate my food allergy either. I left without getting anything to eat. This is the ONLY place I've run into this kind of ridiculous unwillingness to accommodate a gluten issue.

I couldn't believe that I could eat here without just getting salmon, but I could! The vegetarian meatballs are gluten free themselves, and if you talk to the servers they'll make sure you avoid anything problematic. Nice to know the next time I need to go pick up some random unassembled furniture that I won't need to bring a snack with me.

It was a nice surprise to be able to eat with my family at the Ikea cafe. I had some decent vegetarian meatballs and a really nice dessert torte. I will be sure to stop in on our next shopping trip!

Other Characteristics

They mark some GF items in the cafeteria but there aren’t many. Veggie meatballs, almond cake, salmon , sides like veggies. There’s enough to eat. Ok but not great tasting, maybe others like it more, the cake is good. Appreciate the availability. The hotdogs (without a bun) are GF in the smaller cafe area.

Only the veggie meatballs are gluten free. It honestly felt like I was eating super healthy. There is only one dessert that is gluten free. Overall, not terrible.

I spoke to the chef there about any gluten free options available and she told me that only their Swedish dish cake DAIM was gluten free. I asked her about the care they take to prevent any cross contamination and was told they make ur separately, change gloves, etc and that it should be safe for a celiac. But it wasn't. It's a small piece of cake but I still got an upset stomach and ache.

Love stopping by the Ikea restaurant for a quick bite while shopping. Their fries are fried in a dedicated fryer, most of the sides are GF, salmon is GF, and they just added a gf almond chocolate cake dessert which is delicious!!
