Dandy's Organic Cafe
Dandy's Organic Cafe is widely reported as 100% gluten-free with a dedicated kitchen, dedicated fryer, and other dedicated equipment. The owner is described as highly knowledgeable about coeliac needs, and the menu is detailed with allergen labels. Multiple independent reviews from coeliac diners report zero reactions. However, a few dishes (curries) are noted as not safe for coeliacs, and some bottled drinks may contain gluten, so always confirm with staff.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.
