Per-allergen evidence
Mercetta is a community cafe known for accommodating coeliac diners, with a dedicated gluten-free fryer for hash browns, chips, and fries. Multiple coeliac reviewers report that staff are knowledgeable about cross-contamination and will adapt dishes. However, the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so there is a risk of cross-contamination. The Colossal Group website displays a Coeliac Australia logo, but this is a group-level endorsement not a per-venue accreditation certificate, and the venue's own site does not mention gluten-free protocols. The cabinet cakes/slices are reportedly all GF, and GF bread is available.
