They have a different singular gluten-free option each week, but they are in the same display as their gluten donuts and the only separation is the wooden trays that they’re displayed on. I asked and all donuts are made in-house, but the man at the register couldn’t answer about if there is separation in time and space for the preparation of the gluten free donut flavor, as well how well the mixing bowls, ovens, and equipment are cleaned before making of the gluten-free donut. I chose to eat a chocolate donut which was delicious and didn’t get sick that day but I did have swollen joints a few days later but it could have been from any number of restaurants I ate at in the days before it started, so it IS risky. Cross-contamination is just evident… everywhere.

Sophia is such a sweetheart! I have celiac disease and she helped me pick out some gluten free treats. After ringing me up she complimented my necklace and told me to have a great day. Will be back!!

Best poke place around! I really don’t understand why there are bad reviews, we have never had a bad experience here. 1. The staff members are so kind and helpful 2. Tons of options! They have 4 different kinds of rice, plenty of protein options, and tons of toppings and sauces. You can pick 3 bases, 3 sauces, 2 proteins, and 8 toppings, for a $16 custom bowl. That is way better than other popular poke spots we’ve been to! 3. Good portions. They even weigh the portions out to ensure accuracy so you’re not getting half filled scoops! 4. Quality ingredients. I’ve never had fish that smelled bad or tasted bad. 5. Really good unique drinks 6. It’s all gluten free! If you are gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, this place is so refreshing to eat at! I really hope this restaurant stays open and more people try it out because it’s one of my favorite spots ❤️

North Italia in One Paseo is my new favorite Italian food restaurant! Every single team member we encountered was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. The kitchen & bar outdid themselves everybody enjoyed their dishes and drinks from the Brussels sprouts to the fried zuchinni chips, bread, pastas, pizzas, and salads. I’m gluten free and was so happy to see such an accommodating menu. I ordered the pesto chicken pasta and loved every bite! We had a big party of twelve and a late reservation, because our previous dinner reservations fell through. Honestly, I’m so happy they did. Despite our not-so-simple request for a Saturday night reservation at a busy location, they happily welcomed us in and took such good care of us! Thank you Nicole, Garrett, and all staff!
