The HOPE Cafe and BAR
The venue’s own website states that gluten-free options are available.
Per-allergen evidence
The venue’s own website states that gluten-free options are available. FindMeGlutenFree reviews indicate that staff are knowledgeable and will clean surfaces or change gloves, and the menu is reported as well labeled. However, there is no dedicated fryer, the kitchen is shared rather than a dedicated facility, and one reviewer reported a possible reaction with wok dishes. Cross-contamination risk is real. Calling ahead and discussing needs with the owner or chef before visiting is advised.
