Review of Whidbey Doughnuts

Gluten-free as a buzzword only. There are many GF options but the fryer shares oil with contaminated foods. Some items marked GF use a mix of flour and cornmeal. The restaurant does not clean surfaces. The polite staff is aware of gluten allergies but my takeaway is that they think of it as a weight loss choice. I ordered a Ruben sandwich on GF bread with a side salads. I wouldn’t recommend for celiacs and gluten sensitive folks should consume at their peril. Ultimately wasn’t worth it for me to risk getting sick. Otherwise a very charming restaurant with a fun menu (donut sandwiches) if you don’t have allergies.
