Would not recommend for celiacs. Despite an allergy menu online and even a sign in the store saying to inform staff of allergies, the staff was unaware of what items contained gluten. When I asked for chicken thighs, the employee scooped chicken onto a shared cutting board with visible crumbs of gluten from the crispy chicken. I asked her to use clean utensils, and she got a new cutting board but used the same contaminated knife. I paid for the salad but felt too unsafe to eat it. With contamination risks from some proteins, shared utensils, and uneducated staff, this isn’t worth the risk when Sweetgreen is a much safer and similar option.

I usually stay away from salad bars but they had everything with gluten on a separate shelf. There's also labels on which dressings have gluten and which don't. The salad is delicious!

I asked what i could have and they looked at me blankly. I asked about the rice and they said i don’t know. I was scared to order not knowing what seasonings they used on the toppings or if even the rice was okay!

Spoke to the staff before ordering. California Cobb is great and has no gluten containing ingredients. Just confirm they are grabbing the roasted chicken and the allergy specific mixing bowl.

Great place to grab a gluten free salad. You can build your own so it's easy to have plenty of gf options.
