Review of Maepole

My husband and I eat here very often - sometimes several times a week, and once we actually ate here twice in one day. Normally we Doordash and just leave specific requests for them to handle it as a gluten allergy and be very careful. We did that several times with no issues before we decided to go in person. He's very sensitive so we'd know if he had cross contact.

Here's the thing: when we went in person, I realized we NEVER would've eaten here if we had gone in person before doordashing their food so many times. They are nice and willing to be helpful and would totally wear gloves if we asked, but they are basically set up like Subway, with all the possible foods in little trays, and you go down the line and tell them what you want from each section. We have never had an issue, but it's probably just because the only thing they have that includes gluten is the macaroni and cheese (and possibly the tofu because of the soy sauce - I haven't checked). The macaroni and cheese is barely an inch away from two of the GF sides. A few days ago when we went by, a green bean fell from my husband's plate into the macaroni. The girl making the place set the green bean off to the side and didn't put it on his plate, but I'm a bit worried that one day that will happen with the macaroni and cheese and cross contact will happen. It's been fine so far, though!

Ironically, even though we have eaten here several times and will continue, I don't feel super comfortable recommending this to other people with Celiac without giving a huge warning. Do with that info what you will! We will keep eating here and are probably having it for dinner tonight, but every Celiac should be aware of this.
