Black Elephant Coffee
Celiac Safety Score
Black Elephant Coffee calls itself a dedicated gluten-free facility, and the menu bursts with treats—pastries, muffins, and breakfast sandwiches—that sound like a dream for any celiac on the go. The peace of mind that comes from a 100% gluten-free promise is huge, but you know what? There are some conflicting signals here: past staff confusion around bakery sourcing and inconsistent cross-contact practices have been reported. Most days, you’ll walk in and feel safe ordering anything, but for those of us who’ve been burned before (sometimes literally), it’s wise to ask about current protocols and ingredient sourcing—just for that extra ounce of reassurance.
