While the concept of this place is cool and the salad was delicious, I got horribly glutened here. It’s sad as they could so easily avoid cross contamination if they had separate spoons/tongs for every ingredient instead of using their hands with the same gloves that touch croutons at the end of the line and go back to the beginning and contaminate everything. While they did change their gloves for me, it made no difference as like I mentioned before, things were cross contaminated. If you don’t have celiac, or a severe gluten sensitivity I think you may be ok, but if you’re celiac or have a severe intolerance stay FAR away from here.

Great concept but poorly executed. The staff was very accommodating to change their gloves as the bowl got passed through the line. However, part way through the meal I look over and the workers who were at the beginning of the line (the lettuce) had made their way down to the end of the line (the bread) and went directly back to dishing out the lettuce. All well and good, except that there was no change of gloves. This could easily be fixed by getting scoops for ingredients, changing gloves, or just having each employee stay at one section of the line. Beyond that food was good and decent portions but too much so on the cross contamination!!!

Extensive selection of gluten free toppings, dressings, and soups. Some risk of cross-contact with open containers. Everything is very clearly labeled with allergens.

A chipotle-style build your own salad place. Nearly everything is GF. All the dressings are GF. Things are labeled right in front of you so it's easy to order. And when I told them i was celiac they all washed hands and switched gloves without me even asking. Salad was great and service was too.

Dropped in right at lunch and informed them I was celiac. They used new gloves and picked goods from the original container versus the open bar. They were very respectful of my needs!

Staff was very careful with putting together my salad bowl. Changed gloves and kept the bowl all the way down the line vs passing it to the other staff.
