Sunnyhouse is a well-known gluten-free café in Seoul, with the owner herself being coeliac and the kitchen having a dedicated waffle iron and fryer. Most baked goods are gluten-free, and menu items like waffles, bagels, and cupcakes are popular with coeliac visitors. However, the venue recently stopped labeling itself as fully dedicated gluten-free, and the owner now offers some 'low gluten' products. Cross-contamination risk is possible, especially for those with high sensitivity. Confirm current practices directly with the owner before visiting.
Honest caveat, The venue no longer markets itself as fully dedicated gluten-free, and the owner has introduced 'low gluten' items; cross-contamination risk may exist.

Kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items (no dedicated kitchen or fryer). Cross-contamination risk is present. Multiple coeliac diners report no reaction after eating.
Honest caveat, Shared kitchen with gluten-containing ingredients; no dedicated fryer.
Vegetus is a vegan restaurant with a menu that marks many dishes as gluten-free. Multiple reviews confirm the staff understand coeliac needs and can guide choices. However, the kitchen is shared and three appetiser items carry a 'Not 100% gluten free, cross contamination' warning on the delivery menu. One tester reported gluten in a burrito bowl. The venue acknowledges cross-contact risk and is not a dedicated facility, so coeliac diners should confirm their specific dish's safety with staff.
Honest caveat, One review reported gluten detected by a Nima tester in a burrito bowl that staff said was safe.

The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so some cross-contamination risk remains. Several celiac diners report positive experiences, including recognition of travel celiac cards.
café interact is widely reported as a dedicated gluten-free bakery by multiple community sources on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow. Several user reviews say the facility is completely gluten-free and uses certified gluten-free flours. The kitchen practice details are thin — no staff-training information, no mention of a dedicated fryer or separate prep area, and the venue has no formal accreditation (e.g., from Coeliac Korea or an international body). The aggregator pages themselves carry a 'reported to be' disclaimer. The signal is strong enough for a 'Reliable' tier but falls short of A or A+ without an official accreditation or a verifiable venue-owned source describing the kitchen setup.
Honest caveat, No accreditation found; all claims are user-reported on aggregator sites; the aggregators themselves label the listing as 'reported to be' dedicated gluten-free and note that staff and menus can change.
Menu items are clearly marked gluten-free and staff are reported as trained, but the kitchen is shared so cross-contamination is possible. Confirm with staff for strict coeliac needs.
Several sources mention gluten-free options: a reviewer notes that gluten-free items are clearly labelled on the menu, and a blog states the restaurant specialises in entirely gluten-free dishes. However, no information is available about dedicated fryers, separate prep areas, or staff training for coeliac safety. The kitchen is shared with other ingredients, so cross-contamination risk is unconfirmed. Call ahead to discuss your needs.
