Not a lot of options, but I do love that their Elephants Cure chicken soup is GF (no noodles). Whenever I have a cold I grab a container, bring it home & add gf noodles. So yum!

Got breakfast here a couple of times. Had the sausage frittata. I was told it is made offsite at a central kitchen and they could not guarantee no cross contamination. But based on how they answered questions I felt cc risk was low and gave it a try. It was very tasty and I did not have any Celiac reaction afterwards. Also several grab n go salad and soup options which looked good, but I didn't get a chance to try them.

Ordered here for a work lunch. They have a lot of wheat free options and the salad was pretty good. I'm not super confident about cross contamination measures but other people at my office have had good luck with them and nothing I ate made me sick (I'm really sensitive to gluten). Seems like a solid option if you need to accommodate multiple dietary needs while catering.

Their menu does say “wheat free” instead of GF since they cannot guarantee against cross-contamination. That said, after I told the kitchen staff I was Celiac they took every precaution— opening all new food containers, changing out shared food prep utensils, putting a new covering over the food prep area, etc. They also offer pre-made pastries from a dedicated GF bakery.

Many wheat-free options. I am celiac and no issues with the grilled tuna sandwich on local gluten-free bread.
