The House of Honey & The Sticky Spoon Cafe
The venue offers gluten-free options and a soy milk alternative, but the quality of GF items has been reported as poor, and the kitchen practice is unknown. No dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or staff training is documented. A 2023 review noted gluten-free sandwiches and scones were dry and dense, and the venue's response indicates they were investigating new suppliers. Best to call ahead and confirm current GF offerings and cross-contamination protocols.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Honest caveat: A 2023 review found gluten-free items (sandwich, scone) to be dry and unappealing; the venue acknowledged the issue and said they were investigating new suppliers.
