Celiac Safety Score

40
Moderate Safety

Japantown Farmer's Market is a lively community spot brimming with local produce, handmade goods, and a vibrant Sunday morning spirit. For celiac diners, though, it's a bit of a gamble—there's no mention of dedicated gluten-free vendors, and cross-contact risks run high in open-air markets where shared prep spaces and vendor turnover are the norm. If you stick to whole fruits and veggies, you're golden; but anything prepared or processed is a wild card. Honestly, it's more about the joy of fresh air and community than safe gluten-free eats—so bring your own snack if you need absolute peace of mind.
