Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Purple Ocean Superfood Bar is a bright spot for plant-based, gluten-free seekers, with staff who genuinely understand what it means to navigate the celiac tightrope. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the team is quick to point out which items are safe and which ones—like the standard granola—should be avoided. They've got marked gluten-free options (including GF buns for burgers and acai bowls with GF granola on request), and several regulars report attentive, kind service when flagging dietary needs. Still, if you're highly sensitive, you'll want to confirm every detail at the counter—cross-contamination is always a lingering risk in shared kitchens, but here, at least, you'll feel heard and supported.
