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!!

Excellent healthy food and service. When I told them that my daughter has a wheat allergy, the employee brought over her manager, they changed gloves, and they went over all of the ingredients of her bowl for safety. Her bowl was wheat/gluten free and delicious. Most of their menu is gluten free, and we greatly appreciated the extra precautions they took to accommodate us. Every family member ordered something different and each of the bowls was very tasty. Will be back soon!

Jimbo’s has the freshest produce, and the best tasting orange juice anywhere. It’s always a pleasant shopping trip, and I can usually find everything I want with ease. I love the GF tiramisu, it’s not a typical grainy gluten free deli dessert, it’s quality!
