Per-allergen evidence
The venue offers gluten-free waffles as a substitution on its menu, and user reviews report a dedicated gluten-free waffle maker and staff who will clean equipment. There are, however, conflicting accounts about whether waffles are cooked on a separate griddle, and one reviewer noted that staff did not proactively flag a gluten-containing sauce. The kitchen is shared and not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Accommodating overall, but the inconsistencies mean coeliac diners should confirm preparation details with staff.
