confidence 78%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Multiple independent reviewers, including both symptomatic and asymptomatic celiacs, confirm a dedicated gluten-free kitchen at two locations, Midtown and Brooklyn. Several reviewers report that the owner has celiac disease themselves. Quoted comments include "the owner is coeliac," "Owner is a celiac like us," and "the owner is very aware because of their own celiac disease diagnosis." The venue's own description states that all items are crafted in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen by a team fully trained in gluten-free safety protocols. One reviewer reported a possible cross-contamination or glutening incident at a now-closed previous location on West 52nd Street in the Urbanspace food hall. Another reviewer in Brooklyn observed what appeared to be non-certified Quaker oats in the kitchen. The owner confirmed that each current location operates in a fully separated, dedicated kitchen space under the CloudKitchens model. No formal accreditation was found in the sources.

Honest caveat: One symptomatic celiac reported a glutening at a now-closed prior location, and a separate Brooklyn reviewer spotted what appeared to be non-GF Quaker oats in the kitchen — ingredient sourcing should be verified directly with the venue.

Keto

C
confidence 30%
Best effort ·what tier C means
