Cubo is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. The only gluten-containing items are the sandwich bread and one drink.

However, the sandwich press and grill are shared, and multiple reports of cross-contamination and illness from sensitive coeliac diners exist.

Mother's Bistro & Bar

Portland · Brunch · €⁠€

The restaurant is reported to have a gluten-free menu, with gluten-free items marked on the menu and on daily specials. Staff are trained to ask whether a diner is coeliac or gluten intolerant. Some dedicated equipment is available, including a separate toaster for gluten-free bread and a dedicated pasta pot. Staff will also clean the kitchen or change gloves as needed. However, there is no dedicated fryer, and the kitchen is shared, so the risk of cross-contamination is acknowledged. Owner Lisa Schroeder instructs kitchen and waitstaff on dietary needs.

Portland · Vietnamese · €⁠€

The menu marks gluten-free items with a symbol. The official website states: 'ALLERGY DESIGNATIONS ARE INFORMATIONAL ONLY. OUR KITCHEN DOES NOT HAVE GUARANTEED PRACTICES TO PROTECT AGAINST CROSS-CONTAMINATION.' The restaurant does not have a dedicated fryer, so fried items are at risk. Multiple community reviews confirm pho is the only reliably safe option and warn about cross-contamination, with one symptomatic celiac reporting illness. Staff knowledge varies.

Laughing Planet

Portland · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

Laughing Planet is a small NW chain. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and staff are generally knowledgeable. The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
