Karine's Fresh

Anything on the menu can be made gluten-free. Dedicated gluten-free prep areas, a dedicated fryer, and dedicated kitchen space are reported by Atly. FindMeGlutenFree lists a GF Menu with 17 safety ratings, though the venue's own website does not show per-dish marking (menu page says 'Coming Soon'). Staff trained on gluten-free handling is confirmed by Atly. A $5 surcharge applies if gluten-free needs are not disclosed in advance. No formal coeliac accreditation exists. Cross-contamination risk is reduced but not eliminated (shared kitchen with gluten present).
