Flour Bakery + Cafe marks gluten-free items on its menu, and some locations employ staff with allergen knowledge. The facility is not dedicated gluten-free. Multiple reviewers with coeliac disease report shared equipment, gluten-free pastries displayed beside gluten-containing items, and frequent cross-contamination. Several diners with coeliac disease report having become ill, and at least one staff member advised a coeliac customer not to eat there. The chain offers gluten-free bread for sandwiches and some gluten-free desserts, but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated fryer is used. The venue is best suited for gluten-sensitive diners who accept a moderate cross-contamination risk; it is not recommended for those with coeliac disease.

Honest caveat: Multiple verified celiac diners report getting sick after eating here, and one staff member advised a celiac diner not to eat at this location.
