This vibrant spot offers a fun vibe with good tunes in a notably clean environment, but caution is advised for gluten-free diners due to inconsistent staff knowledge about corn wraps, highlighting the need for improved allergy awareness and training.

My daughter has Celiac Disease and two employees at the Bubbakoos, Route 37, Toms River location assured me that the wraps they gave me were corn. As soon as I walked up to the counter to order, I told the employee that she has Celiac Disease, asked the employee to change her gloves, and explained that due to my daughter’s condition, she can only have corn wraps. The female employee said, "Yes, we have corn wraps." When they handed them to me in foil, I asked again, "These are corn, not flour, right?" A male employee then said, "Yes." As my daughter unwrapped the wraps, I saw that they looked like flour. I tasted them and they were clearly flour. I asked the male employee again, "These are corn?" as I pointed at them. He said, "yes," and the female employee overheard and agreed with him. I then explained that I tasted them and they are flour. She then shrugged and said, "Yes, they are flour." No apology. I was shocked. If my daughter ingested gluten at their store, it would have resulted in 4 hours of projectile vomiting and horrific stomach pain. It happens everytime she ingests gluten. These employees need to be properly trained in the seriousness of food allergies and the consequences of their carelessness.
