Belén Plant Bakery offers a range of gluten-free marked items (GF on menu) and keeps GF options on a separate shelf in the cabinet. However, the kitchen shares space with gluten-containing ingredients, and the venue explicitly warns that it cannot guarantee coeliac safety due to cross-contamination risk. Best for those with mild gluten sensitivity; coeliac diners should exercise caution and consult staff.

Honest caveat: Venue explicitly states it cannot guarantee coeliac safety due to cross-contamination risk.
