Cross-Contamination Notice

We cannot guarantee that any item is completely free from allergens due to the nature of our kitchen environment. Items described as β€œfree from” a particular allergen have been prepared to avoid that allergen, but cross-contamination is possible.

Our kitchen uses shared equipment and preparation areas. While we follow strict hygiene protocols and take every reasonable precaution, we cannot provide an allergen-free environment. Customers with severe or life-threatening allergies should exercise caution and speak directly with our kitchen team.
