Cafe by LaManna

Menu marks gluten-free options (GFO) on several dishes, and staff are generally knowledgeable about coeliac needs. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated fryer, so cross-contamination is possible. One reviewer noted that GF options may not be coeliac-safe. Best to confirm with staff and avoid fried items.
