Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

The Tasteful Kitchen brings vibrant, plant-based dishes to Tucson with a menu that’s heavy on naturally gluten-free ingredients and creative, wholesome flavors. While most entrees and sides appear to be gluten-free by nature, and past diners have raved about the freshness and care in preparation, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free—so for those of us with celiac disease, there’s always that little voice in the back of our minds asking about cross-contact. The staff is known for being attentive and ingredient-aware, but without a separate prep area or formal protocols on display, ultra-sensitive diners should approach with questions (and maybe a phone call ahead). Still, it’s a rare treat to find such an abundance of GF-friendly vegan comfort food and desserts in one spot, so if you’re comfortable communicating your needs, this place can feel like a safe haven—just with a dash of caution.
