Dear Breakfast - Alfama

A named staff member, Susanne/Suzanna, has her own serious medical intolerances and is the venue's recognised coeliac contact; kitchen practice reflects this with separate toasters and GF toast wrapped in parchment paper to avoid cross-contamination. Staff widely reported as knowledgeable. The kitchen is shared (no dedicated kitchen or fryer confirmed), and GF options are not consistently marked on the menu — the majority of reviewers report no formal GF menu, though a minority note GF items as marked. One reviewer reported a gluten reaction after eating food prepared with assurances of separate handling, and one reviewer was initially served regular bread instead of GF bread.
