confidence 80%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Flower Child marks GF items clearly on the menu and has trained staff who will flag orders for celiac, clean surfaces, and change gloves. Reviewers consistently report safe experiences after telling staff about celiac. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items (handmade pita bread, breadcrumbs on some sides), and there have been multiple documented glutening reports from celiac diners. The venue's own site states the kitchen is not gluten-free. This is a well-run shared kitchen with strong protocols, not a dedicated facility.
