FindMeGlutenFree reviews report a dedicated gluten-free fryer and a kitchen that is mostly gluten-free except for regular bread. However, multiple reviewers warn of being served non-gluten-free bread despite informing staff, leading to severe reactions. The venue's own website (Lola's Cafe in Ladera Ranch, CA) marks gluten-free items on its menu, but this is a different location. For the València venue, the kitchen practice is inconsistent: while many praise the dedicated setup, the bread cross-contamination risk is significant. Call ahead to confirm current practices.
