Drift Cafe Margaret River
Offers gluten-free bread and accommodates coeliac diners; staff ask about coeliac status and are described as accommodating. However, the kitchen is shared and the venue serves regular baked goods and wheat-based dishes, so cross-contamination risk is present. Best for low-sensitivity gluten-free diners; coeliacs should confirm protocols with staff.
