Per-allergen evidence
Nicolette is reported to offer a gluten-free menu with items marked GF, including avocado toast, bread or buns, and desserts. The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. It has no dedicated fryer, and the risk of cross-contamination is acknowledged. One symptomatic coeliac reviewer reported no reaction but noted the shared kitchen. The atly.com source lists the venue as "accommodating gluten-free" with "some risk of cross-contamination" and also refers to it as a "dedicated GF place" with "dedicated appliances" and "trained staff," creating internal contradictions. Because the venue is marked as permanently closed on FindMeGlutenFree, confidence is low.
