Bitin offers gluten-free options for several sandwiches, with a menu legend noting that GF items are available on request.

The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Calling ahead to discuss needs is recommended.
Paname Café offers a gluten-free menu covering cakes, brownies, bread, and sandwiches. Gluten-free cakes are stored on a separate shelf and handled with separate tongs, but the kitchen is shared and gluten-free bread is made using the same sauces as regular items, posing cross-contamination risk. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Staff are reported as knowledgeable in one review. Coeliac diners should assess their tolerance and confirm practices directly.
