Not celiac safe. I have been gluten the last 2 times I tried eating there. It’s a cross contamination issue.

They only have gf pancakes or salads for breakfast option. Other breakfast items labeled gf are not actually gf (like the brussel sprouts scramble previously mentioned in the comments). They do not modify food to make an item gf and do not have a dedicated gf kitchen space.

Square cafe is really great for celiacs and other gluten free folks! Lots of gluten free options, just make sure to verbalize if you have celiac or a gluten allergy because some menu items are cooked in shared spaces (like the gluten-free pancakes). With that being said, the staff are very well-informed and will make accommodations to ensure your safety. I always get the Brussels sprout hash and it’s delicious! My favorite dish on the menu and I’ve never gotten sick. This restaurant is trust worthy and I never feel scared to eat here, which is why I’ve become a regular! Highly recommend for the gluten-free, vegetarians, and vegans. Also a great family-friendly place!

Had orzo salad marked as gluten free. I told the waitress and she said it was a mistake. I’d be careful here. Other than that, my salmon scramble was good.

Very knowledgeable staff with a lot of options. We ate here twice on our trip to Pittsburg. The lox scramble and the gluten free pancakes were delicious. Space is bright and happy. Highly recommend.

A lot of reviews are mentioning that the gluten free pancakes can be made in a seperate pan but that was not our experience. I'm guessing because they moved locations they now use a full griddle where all pancakes are made. They do have a gluten free dedicated toaster and a fair amount of nice drinks so it all worked out.

Was happy to find a breakfast place with gluten free & vegetarian options offering takeout. A bit on the pricy side for what it is, but I did feel great all day after eating and enjoyed all the options for customization. Bonus points for how well packaged their takeout is- I tripped on my way out and all of our coffees and meals remained intact lol

Celiac friendly?

Excellent food - knowledgeable staff. Ordered an omelette that needed modification to be gluten free and the did so with ease. Side of greens cam with it which were fresh and very lightly dressed with olive oil. I went when it was early in the day and seating was not a problem. This is the gluten free side of us as a couple who is highly sensitive to gluten.

Celiac friendly?

The waitress nodded and was very friendly and reassuring as soon as I said "celiac disease" in reference to the gluten free pancakes I was ordering. Then, when I asked about the egg preparation, she told me they used a new pan every time. I felt super comfortable ordering here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Phenomenal!! They had several GF items on menu. They let me change out egg whites for whole scrambled eggs, gave me GF toast and the GF pancake was the best ever-tasted like a normal buttermilk pancake:-). Seriously the best GF breakfast I have had-tasted like non GF food!! They were very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Will definitely be back when in town!!!!!!!

very knowledgeable and careful preparation for celiacs. delicious food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fresh food, good, friendly service with delicious gluten free options.

Staff is knowledgable and accommodating. Kitchen staff will use separate pans and utensils for Celiacs. Was advised to not eat GF pancakes as they share a surface with gluten. Pesto Chicken Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing is AMAZING.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They only have one gluten free pancake one their menu but their eggs and smoothies are great as well! It's always busy but the service is great! I would go here again!
