Celiac Safety Score

52
Moderate Safety

Carla's Corner Cafe offers a handful of gluten-free options, like sandwiches on GF bread and ice cream in a GF cone, but let's be honest—there's no dedicated gluten-free menu or facility here. For those of us with celiac disease, that means every order comes with a side of nerves about cross-contact. The staff seem willing to accommodate, swapping breads and making adjustments, but without concrete safety protocols or a separate prep area, the risk is just too real. If you're highly sensitive or need absolute peace of mind, you might want to save this spot for an outing with non-celiac friends while you bring your own treat.
