Not even close to gluten free. They make 3 wheat free options, but they don’t make any attempt at all to avoid cross contamination. When you walk in, there are visible clouds of flour in the air and the doughnuts are cooked together and stored together with the wheat doughnuts. The wheat free options do not look appetizing either but I didn’t risk eating one. I could see the cooks taking them off the tray after taking off wheat doughnuts from the same tray.

(NOT CELIAC SAFE) Fantastic deep-fried wheat-free donut! They only offer one kind of donut. It’s called the Wheat-Free Thing. If you’re like me and you don’t think a baked pastry with a hole in it actually passes for a donut, you’ll love these greasy glazed treats!

No gluten free, since they fry it in the same fryer as the wheat stuff

This place has moved to San Rafael. Gluten free donuts are fried in the same oil as non-gluten free, so a no go for Celiac disease.

This place IS NOT closed! The only wheat free donut they have is worth the trip. I also asked one of the employees of they plan on expanding their selection and they said "yes". They also serve equator coffee, which was a perfect pairing.

They used to label as gluten-free, but have changed to wheat-free. I really appreciated that, since they fry in the same oil as the other donuts. Pre-diagnosis, this was the best donuts ever. Now I can't eat there, but if you can eat gluten, definitely try them. I really appreciate their transparency!!!

It's cooked in the same oil as everything else. They only labelled it wheat free, not gluten free. Thought I had found my dream donut.
