Bitin offers gluten-free options for several sandwiches, with a menu legend noting GF items are available on request. Staff are described as knowledgeable by multiple reviewers, but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated fryer is used. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to discuss your needs.
Paname Café offers a gluten-free menu with 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.
Honest caveat, Shared kitchen with same sauces for gluten-free bread poses cross-contamination risk.
