Flour Bakery + Cafe

Flour Bakery + Cafe marks GF items on its menu and has knowledgeable staff at some locations, but it is NOT a dedicated facility. Multiple celiac reviewers report shared equipment, GF pastries displayed next to gluten items, and frequent cross-contamination. Several diners with celiac report having gotten sick, and at least one staff member advised a celiac customer not to eat there. The chain provides GF bread for sandwiches and some GF desserts, but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated fryer is used. Best suited for gluten-sensitive diners who accept moderate cross-contamination risk; not recommended for those with coeliac disease.
