Review of Murphy's Coffee & Bagel House

Was excited by all the great reviews, especially from those with celiac. Sadly, cross contamination is a big problem. Though they keep the bagels separate, when I asked if they use separate knives, cutting boards, and to skip toasting, the staff taking our order was quick to dismiss my questions. Yup, we know, it’s separate. Usually that response means they’re not as careful as celiacs need. Also, they make the regular bagels there, meaning there’s flour all over. There’s no way to truly avoid gluten unless they kept everything down to the dish it’s served on in a separate room.

My sandwich was toasted, I asked again if it was a separate toaster and was just told, yup, we keep the gluten free bagels separate. We went at a very slow time, no orders before us or for a while after. Spending today home sick.
