Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

A dedicated gluten-free facility, the bakery uses no gluten-containing ingredients on the premises, has its own dedicated kitchen, and trains staff on cross-contamination. The venue's own website calls it a 'dedicated gluten free facility' to eliminate cross-contact risk. Multiple coeliac bloggers and HappyCow reviewers report positive experiences with no reactions. This is effectively a 100% gluten-free kitchen.

Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The bakery provides numerous labelled vegan options, including muffins, cookies, cakes, and pies. These items are clearly marked. Staff members are patient and knowledgeable about ingredients.

confidence 55%
Best effort ·what tier C means

A few items contain milk and are clearly labelled. Staff can help identify dairy-free options and are trained on cross-contamination from other allergens. However there is no dedicated dairy-free kitchen or equipment, so cross-contact is possible. The menu is not systematically marked for dairy but staff will assist when asked.

Honest caveat: None found.

Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu includes items that contain walnuts, such as a vegetable vegan quiche made with cashews. The venue's website states that staff are trained about cross-contamination from other allergens and can answer questions. Tree nuts are present on the premises, and no dedicated nut-free kitchen exists.

Honest caveat: None found.
