Celiac Safety Score

35
Limited Safety

Tatte Bakery & Cafe has a tempting array of "gluten-friendly" pastries and menu items, but for celiac diners, the risk of cross-contact is a real concern. Their own website openly states that gluten is present throughout the kitchen and that nothing can be guaranteed safe—honestly, that's a big red flag for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. While staff can point out gluten-free options and allergen labeling is clear, there's no separate prep area or dedicated equipment, and multiple guest accounts mention cross-contamination issues. The baked goods might look inviting, but if you need strict gluten avoidance, this spot just isn't a safe bet—no matter how delicious those brownies may appear from across the display case.
