Figaro Dessert Cafe

Several items in the bakery display were labelled gluten free, but when went to eat them, we discovered they weren't actually gluten free. The panna cotta was atop a wheat cake, for example. The lack of care for these details means I'd recommend anyone with dietary restrictions to avoid this establishment

Visited Figaro in Hillcrest for gelato. If you are celiac, you may not want to eat here. Many gelato flavors were marked gluten free. However, I was going to get Panna Cotta when I noticed that they had placed a waffle cone in the middle of the Gelato. They also sprinkled pieces of the cone on top. Spoke with an employee who simply said good catch. Please be aware if you order or visit there.

I have found many delicious things here but I have also received items that tasted like they had accidentally been sprayed or otherwise contaminated with heavily scented household chemicals something like fabulouso or pine sol is effecting the flavor of some ingredient they use. I have only noticed this in items that contain gluten so maybe their flour is being contaminated but it was very strong and off putting to me. Not sure who cleans their shop but someone needs to do some investigation because I am not sure that cleansers like that should be used in a restaurant at all.
