Meli Cafe
Meli Cafe offers a separate gluten-free menu section with items like French toast, crepes, pancakes, and toast. Multiple recent coeliac diners report no symptoms and knowledgeable staff.

A dedicated toaster and dedicated fryer are reported by some reviewers, but not consistently across all locations or shifts.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
Meli Cafe has a 'Vegan & Gluten Free' section on the menu with items like pancakes, French toast, a wrap, and tofu scramble. However, multiple HappyCow reviews warn that some items listed as vegan may not be (e.g., non-vegan butter served, rolls for sliders not vegan, wrap not vegan per one server). Staff knowledge on vegan ingredients appears inconsistent. Cross-contamination with non-vegan items (e.g., butter) is a risk.
