Easy GF experience. Good list of options, and substitutions. SO ordered the California Burrito with a GF wrap, but looks like you can sub out anything on the menu for GF bread/bun/wrap. Came with corn chips. Super fresh and tasty.

Really great place that takes food allergies seriously. My daughter has Celiac (and is incredibly sensitive to cross contamination) and we ordered sandwiches there every day for a week so we could bring lunch on our Yosemite hikes. She never got sick and absolutely loved the BLT and the Riven Rock sandwiches.

This place takes celiac and food allergies very seriously. I was informed when ordering gluten free they open fresh containers for sauces and condiments (hummus, salsa, chips etc) and that they prepare gluten free meals in a dedicated space to avoid cross contamination. When informing them of celiac or an allergy they write *ALLERGY* across the slip so that the kitchen knows to prepare it with a single person down the line. They have gluten free wraps and bread for sandwiches. Many vegan and dairy free options as well. My tortilla, black beans and salsa all passed the Nima test. There were also gluten free baked goods individually wrapped on the top shelf, but I didn't try or test them. Great cafe for a healthy snack or meal, and attached grocery. I did not get sick after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF bread and wraps! Very willing to accommodate celiac and understand cross-contamination. Just let them know! Juice and smoothie options as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They do offer any of their sandwiches on gluten free bread or wraps, just be sure to let them know if you’re Celiac, or have an intolerance or allergy. If you do, they’ll take precautions. They also usually have a GF breakfast quiche and at least one dessert that’s GF. The potato chips they carry are safe.

The cafe had gluten free bread as well as some pastries available. The store itself reminds me of a small Whole Foods- found quite a few gf items for our trip

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The people where very friendly in the Cafe. They had lots of tasty treats & meals for Gluten Free. My family had their sandwiches for the trip to Yosemite. Glad we stopped.

Great gluten free and vegetarian options with GF wraps, GF quiche and others.
