Wait staff has very little knowledge about ingredients. Mentioned the coconut macaroon has no wheat but daughter had reaction. Pretty sure there is heavy cross contamination here( say this as she didnt react severely but had one notheless) Definitely be cautious of you are really sensitive

I had the AU Chocolat cake. It was very good, and some how for a rich cake it set very well. No reaction, and the price was way better than I expected.

I have ordered gluten free desserts and cakes here frequently and have come in for lunch. I am sensitive to cross contamination and have not had issues here. When I ordered my gluten free panini I asked the server to have it wrapped in foil before being pressed on the panini grill and had no issues.

Here's the thing .... I was in LOVE with extraordinary desserts before I became gluten intolerant! So I have a slight bias and will go there for the teas as well. They do have a gluten free option every day/night but they only make a certain amount and if they run out in a busy Saturday or Friday then ur out of luck (go earlier). and the other people below were right if u can't tolerate cross contamination DONT go here. If u can (like me) then go and enjoy, it's usually a long wait (they have a to go line that's faster), and overpriced for sure, but the macaroons we had were probably the best ones I've EVER HAD!

Just walked in, there is a "slight chance" of cross contamination.

I was surprised by my office throwing me a surprise birthday party with all delectable gluten free treats including, choc chip and peanut butter cookies, brownies and meringue cake topped with fresh fruit and flowers and served with raspberry topping. Can't wait til I come back for another visit to this area and sample more treats.

They had 6 gluten free options, mostly cookies, all stored in the same display case as food containing gluten, usually underneath or directly next to cut cakes. These people DO NOT understand cross contamination in the slightest.
