Celiac Safety Score

58
Moderate Safety

Cafe Havana is a cozy local spot with a friendly vibe and plenty of naturally gluten-free options, like their crowd-pleasing arepas and breakfast tacos. While it's heartening to see almost the entire menu made gluten-free on request—thanks to things like Sister’s Gluten-Free Bread—there's no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or written cross-contamination protocols in place. That means folks with celiac disease need to be extra cautious, especially since there’s no separate fryer and no formal gluten-free menu. Still, if you're not highly sensitive and you love Latin-inspired comfort food, you might find yourself coming back for those warm, chewy arepas and the welcoming staff, but always double-check with the kitchen to be safe.
