Safety 951

1. Verveine Cafe & Bakery

Gluten-Free Café & Bakery

298 Massachusetts Ave · Central Square

separate fryer · separate GF kitchen

Order the Nutella toast with a soft egg, or whatever laminated pastry is in the case that morning. Pastry chef Monica Glass runs the bakery, and the croissants and cakes are the reason a celiac drives to Central Square.

Verveine is 100% gluten-free, so the whole menu is fair game, which the Boston Globe confirmed when it listed the cafe among the area's fully dedicated gluten-free facilities. Glass has celiac herself, and it shows in how the place is run. It leans morning to midday, so go early.

Central Square gluten-free FAQ

Where can I find gluten-free restaurants in Central Square?

Start with the 2 gluten-free restaurants in this guide. Each listing includes map location, order notes, safety tier, and a link to the restaurant page when available.

Are these Central Square restaurants dedicated gluten-free?

Not necessarily. Each listing shows its current Sansglu safety tier. A dedicated facility, a separate gluten-free kitchen, and gluten-free options in a shared kitchen are different signals. Confirm current ingredients and preparation practices before eating.

How does this neighborhood guide decide what to include?

The page starts with restaurants in the Sansglu guide dataset, then checks restaurant sourcing, menus, kitchen setup signals, and whether each spot has a publishable restaurant page. It is an editorial field guide, not a paid placement list.

What should I check before dining?

Confirm whether the whole kitchen is still gluten-free, ask about ingredients and prep changes, and use the live app page for current safety signals. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.
