Stockton Market GF
The market currently states that gluten-free bakery options are available. Because the bakery also handles conventional wheat products, cross-contact remains possible.

Current reservation information identifies gluten-free options. Discuss celiac-level preparation needs directly with the restaurant.
Earth Served DF
The restaurant explicitly offers vegan-friendly menu choices. Vegan selections are dairy-free by definition, but confirm sauces, substitutions and shared preparation for allergy concerns.
