Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

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. The venue has, however, 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. Current practices should be confirmed 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.
