Celiac Safety Score

65
Good for Celiac

Hostel Cafe offers a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with a menu that includes gluten-free options like gluten-free pizza crusts and bread, plus dedicated gluten-free buns and slices. While they make many dishes from scratch, there's limited explicit mention of strict cross-contamination prevention for gluten-free diners, so caution is advised. The restaurant's focus on local ingredients and scratch cooking shows care, but without clear protocols, safety can't be guaranteed for those with celiac disease.
