This cafe offers a gluten-free menu with items like Eggs Benedict, sandwiches, cakes, and more. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs, and one user says kitchen areas and tools are separate. However, the venue also serves non-GF items, the chips are not gluten-free (they warn about this), and the FindMeGlutenFree listing carries a disclaimer that it is not a dedicated GF facility. Cross-contamination is possible. Marked menu is available; details should be confirmed with staff.
