Cafe Medina

Cafe Medina is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, but multiple community reports describe a shared kitchen with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, separate toaster, and staff trained to handle coeliac requests. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and one server reportedly has coeliac disease themselves. Cross-contamination risk remains, and the venue itself warns it may not be safe for coeliac diners. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Honest caveat: The venue's own FindMeGlutenFree listing states it is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for coeliac disease.
