Gluten-Free at Caribou Coffee

Love the gluten free breakfast sandwich! It comes packaged separately in a sealed packet so there’s no risk of cc! Drip coffee and plain iced lattes are generally safe since there’s no contact with steamers/blenders etc. Not sure about flavor syrups.

They have 3 breakfast items served all day long. I ordered a sandwich and no one touches the sandwich as it’s sealed. This is in the subway under the Mayo and Gonda buildings at Mayo Clinic.

Other Characteristics

• Good for breakfast/brunch
• Good for lunch
• Good for takeout

They have gluten free breakfast items that are prepared in a certified facility, prepackaged, and delivered to the store. They heat it up in the paper wrapper, so there's almost no chance of contamination. I tried the chicken chorizo sandwich; it was a little dry but pretty good. They had a vegetarian sandwich as well, plus 2 soufflee options. Unfortunately, none of the options are dairy free. Most Caribou drinks are gluten free also, but I don't believe the frozen drinks are, and be careful with anything with a topping like crushed peppermint. I stick to iced lattes and don't have any issues.

Great option for a quick breakfast. In bridge between MOA and Radisson hotel. Coffee shop with pre-made breakfast sandwiches. They have a Gluten Free menu which includes 2 sandwiches (on GF bread) and 2 souffles. Standard “not a GF kitchen” disclaimer but the GF items are each individually wrapped and warmed in wrapper, which customer opens so minimum risk of CC it appears. I had the Chicken Chorizo and Muenster sandwich, quite tasty. Soft bread with egg, cheese and chicken sausage.

We we're staying at a local water park hotel that wasn't able to prevent CC with gluten for their food options, so we found that THIS Caribou was not only fully stocked with 4 different GF breakfast options (2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 quiches), but the worker who took our order (Tony) was super knowledgeable about CC. we ordered a hot chocolate, and he was very helpful in stating that the hot chocolate was GF, but it used some shared containers for making it, so it'd take an extra second to wash that out so it wouldn't be CC...this without me having to ask. It was a super great experience! my kids wanted to go back for breakfast the next morning, too ( so we did!!). LOVE the transparency!

Staff had no idea what would be gluten free. They use the same blender for all blended drinks so ingredients are often gluten free but cross contamination risk is very high
