They have gluten free breakfast items that are prepared in a certified facility, prepackaged, and delivered to the store. They heat it up in the paper wrapper, so there's almost no chance of contamination. I tried the chicken chorizo sandwich; it was a little dry but pretty good. They had a vegetarian sandwich as well, plus 2 soufflee options. Unfortunately, none of the options are dairy free. Most Caribou drinks are gluten free also, but I don't believe the frozen drinks are, and be careful with anything with a topping like crushed peppermint. I stick to iced lattes and don't have any issues.

I go to Caribou a lot and am very specific about cross contamination in my diet. Their blended drinks arent safe because the blenders are contaminated. If you look on their app though it'll tell you the allergens of each drink. I'm pretty sure the coolers are all also not safe. I always get turtle mochas and am fine.

Some of the buns there are GF and Vegan but I looked up and saw that they use the same blender for there drinks and I can’t drink there any more and it was my favorite and my favorite drink was “Hot Chocolate”.

They discontinued the GF spinach, artichoke, and egg white sandwich and ONLY have the Bacon & egg soufflés, disappointing as a person who is also allergic to pork. Sad is an understatement…

Good if you’re only going for a beverage!

This location is inside of the Cashwise grocery store. Many of their drinks can be made GF. The staff at this location is usually really helpful checking with ingredients but the ingredients are also available on their app or website. Make sure you check ingredients for drink toppings too. They have a very delicious GF breakfast sandwich. It’s spinach, artichoke, egg, and provolone cheese on a GF English muffin style bread. They also have a bacon and Gouda egg soufflé that is gf. (I like the sandwich best though). The sandwich and soufflé are usually pre-wrapped in individual packages and warmed in the same package so they don’t touch the surface where other items are warmed.

Sometimes hit or miss depending on the staff but often times staff is knowledgable on their drinks. Most times they are willing to show/read packaging and ingredients in their beverage mixes. Like all places, chance of cross contamination since they do use cookie crumb toppers on some beverages. They also have complete allergen list on website menu.
