Celiac safety assessment and key features
Flower Child makes gluten-free dining feel refreshingly easy, with an extensive menu where most items are clearly marked GF—think craveable mac and cheese, loaded rice bowls, and sweet potato fries from a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The staff are generally clued in on celiac needs; when you flag your allergy, kitchen protocols like glove changes and allergy alerts help minimize risk. That said, this isn't a dedicated gluten-free facility, so while many with celiac report safe meals and rave about the variety, there's always that lingering worry about cross-contact—especially during busy hours or for highly sensitive folks. If you're comfortable with well-trained staff and visible precautions (but not total segregation), Flower Child is one of the more reliable options for a vibrant, feel-good meal out.
