Boloco

Must amend my previous positive review after learning the online menu doesn’t list every single allergen! Turns out among other things the Asian slaw has soy sauce in it!! Behind the register they have a more comprehensive allergen listing. I was floored and upset bc I’ve ordered the Asian slaw in dishes before!

Celiac friendly?

No

I am so glad I found Boloco as it has become by go to place for a quick breakfast or lunch, when in Boston.

The staff largely doesn't know what is GF is and isnt, but they have a whole allergen list that you can look through. The easy thing is to just avoid the flour wraps, their asian inspired sauces and seemingly most everything else is pretty much fine.

They also will make your breakfast wrap in a bowl as well.

When I would explain that I cannot have gluten, the staff, even if they weren't exactly sure what gluten was, would wash their hands, change their gloves, double check and ask me about each ingredient and have a single person make my bowl.

It is basically a Chipotle but with breakfast and some really cool sauces like buffalo and indian inspired tikka masala.

All in all, the chance for cross contamination is there, as things could fall into different stations, but the staff seemed to do a good job.

I'd recommend their eggs and chorizo bowl for breakfast

Went here for one of their free burrito days, and it's okay. Not as good as Chipotle, and not as many GF options, but still enough that you won't be hungry. They have a list online of what is GF (rice, most of their proteins like chicken, most of the salsas, etc.) and you can also ask the staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm not celiac but I had a good experience. Not my flavor profile though, very tangy

I told them about my gluten allergy and they immediately washed their hands and changed their gloves. They also took out separate spoons. The bowl was delicious!
