Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

86%
Good

Here’s the thing—when a chef with celiac is running the show, you just know every detail matters. At The Butter Milk Ranch, Pastry Chef Alyssa Gangeri’s personal stake in gluten-free safety shines through: nearly half the menu is either gluten-free or easily adapted, and the kitchen staff is well-trained to answer questions and accommodate requests. While the restaurant isn’t fully dedicated GF (so there’s always a bit of caution for those ultra-sensitive), you’ll find clearly marked menus, a staff that changes gloves and uses separate equipment when needed, and a genuine sense of care. If you’ve spent one too many brunches picking at sad fruit bowls, this place will remind you what feeling normal at breakfast tastes like—think pillowy focaccia, dreamy lemon-vanilla waffles, and pastries that actually live up to their hype.
