Café CUCU
Café CUCU offers gluten-free bread, pasta, and main dishes, but the kitchen is shared, not a dedicated gluten-free facility. The FindMeGlutenFree listing and a community review on atly both warn that cross-contamination is a risk, and the venue itself does not guarantee safety for coeliac disease. Staff awareness seems good — one reviewer noted the waitress immediately asked if the request was allergy-related — but without dedicated equipment or a full gluten-free menu, this is a 'best effort' venue where quality depends on the shift. Call ahead to discuss your needs.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Honest caveat: Neither the venue's website nor the listing provide any detail about cross-contact mitigations; the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.
TripAdvisor tags the venue as having 'Vegan options', but no sources detail what those options are, how they're prepared, or whether cross-contamination is managed. A review references 'non dairy' which may overlap with vegan, but this is not substantiated. Call ahead for specifics.
