As a celiac, I would not reccommend. I was unfortunetly exposed to gluten. I spoke to them and stated that I had an "allergy". I am unsure whether it was due to cross contamination or full on gluten exposure. However, either way I would not reccommend to anyone with Celiac or a gluten allergy.

Unfortunately I was glutened here :( I had called the day before and asked about their precautions, and they said they took care to reduce cross contamination. I then talked to them when I got there and I thought it would be fine, but I was sick within a few hours (which is my normal time frame) and this was all I had eaten that day. My friend who is gluten sensitive was fine though and eats here all the time. I agree with other reviewers that this is not good for Celiacs.

Visiting from out of town and was excited to see a Gf bagel. Got there and decided to try the GF Berry bagel and a smoothie. I had a reaction about an hour after eating it but it’s the only thing I had to eat before my reaction. Wouldn’t recommend for GF people.

I used to work here and would not recommend people with allergies/sensitivities/religious food preferences eat here. The oven is never cleaned and is covered in a layer of black grime, and the owner/cook does not make an effort to avoid cross contamination and teaches workers to do the same to save time. Uses the same utensils to butter all bagels, doesn’t use aluminum foil as a barrier or clean it change gloves. I asked her to take extra precautions since the customer said they had a gluten allergy, the owner said, “they’ve eaten here before, they’ll be fine,” and proceeded to make it without precautions. Since I’ve been diagnosed I feel guilty for being involved with this place. Please put your trust in the other Greenville restaurants that will really take precautions for a gluten allergy.

From one celiac to another, I would not recommend this place. I researched places with gf bagels in the Greenville area and went here. I asked for a gf berry bagel which turned out to not be gluten free. Not worth the risk! Got extremely sick

Hard to find a good GF Bagel, but the morning my wife and I visited they had 4 choices. I choose the Onion, my wife the Blueberry. They made us a breakfast sandwich based on them and they were both awesome. Well worth a visit! Enjoy!
