Cafe Catalina
Cafe Catalina offers some gluten-free options like acai bowls and eggs Benedict, but the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated fryer. The head chef is knowledgeable about coeliac needs, but other staff may not be, and one diner reported being glutened when the head chef was away. The venue's own FAQ says to advise waitstaff of allergies, but the menu is not marked for gluten-free items. Best to call ahead and speak to the head chef if you are coeliac.
