Review of Riverwalk Roasters Coffee House

UPDATE: I have spoken to the owner at length about this. I reviewed video footage of the kitchen and can confirm they take great cross contamination precautions when asked. The issue is that this cafe has been serving regular bread, containing malted barley flour, for 2 years and marking it GF. The owner had no idea that malted barley flour is gluten. I gave information on the FDA certified labels & suggested different breads. I’m horrified that this went on so long but attempted to use this as a learning moment for the owner. She is discontinuing their current “GF” bread and switching.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich and plain latte and informed them of the allergy and specifically requested GF bread. About 2 hours later I became violently sick. The restaurant does have signs stating they cannot guarantee no cross contamination, but given the extent of how sick I got I am fairly confident I was given the completely wrong bread. I spoke to the owner who confirmed this happened to another customer the same weekend. She informed me she spoke with her kitchen staff about it. I still would not recommend the food for Celiac.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu
