This is a bagel shop, but they have a GF bread option. They didn’t ask about a separate toaster RE cross contamination. One of the main lunch features is the GF quinoa bowl.
Happy they had delicious multigrain GF bread with all dishes. Wonderful smoked salmon with smear! Also had GF bowls.
Has a good selection for lunch but not breakfast. They were able to make me some GF toast but the muffins list advertised GF muffins but they don’t actually sell them. I did not see them using any precautions and they did not even separate out the GF items when bagging the items. It may be better for lunch but if a place can’t accommodate GF when busy then protocols are not in place.

Definitely a ten out of ten for me. You can have almost every sandwich they offer as long as you have it on gf bread. They only have one type of bf bread (multigrain) but as someone who prefers white the bread still tasted great and they did an amazing job at making sure there was no cross contamination and my needs were met, even got a separate bag for my food. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with celiac :)
Good place for a sandwich, salad or soup. If you get there early they will have gf muffins.

Cross contact appears rampant. They put their bread crumbs and croutons on the counter over and behind the quinoa bowl section which is supposed to be gluten free. After seeing them scoop bread crumbs and carry the scoop over the supposed gluten free ingredients onto Mac and cheese, we were too spooked to order.
I’ve eaten at this location a couple of times with generally good results, however there was an error and I ended up eating half of a standard sandwich when I had ordered gluten free (I blame myself as well for not recognizing it until a couple bites in). Food is very good and they’re generally careful and caring of people’s restrictions.
Good option for a safe quick breakfast. Checked if I had an allergy/celiac and then didn’t toast the gf bread.
Great place for breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, healthy eats and drinks. Gluten free breads and good allergy safety!
