All their meats with the exception of the fried fish are GF. All the toppings and sauces are GF. You just have to make sure to order a corn tostado or salad with corn chips. They also have corn tortillas but warm them on the same surface with the flour tortillas. I never asked if they could avoid cross contamination as I just get a salad.

Reply from Sea: Good to know they offer a gluten-free pizza. Here are the reviews from Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/papas-pizza-eugene-2 Gino, are you affiliated with Pappa's? Just wondering because your email address had "Ads" in the username.

The chicken salad contains gluten but the tuna does not. The only thing I would change about that salad is adding some other veggies to the greens but it's great on a hot day when the bowls are a bit much and you just want cold food. The Corvallis location offers excellent service. Too bad they are smack on campus so the rest of the city can't go. Parking is just too much of a hassle until the kids leave for the summer. Then we'll eat there....and hope for a second location away from campus. :^) I also like the Cafe Yum salad that comes as a scoop of your choice (tuna or chicken) on a bed of greens.

It makes sense that the chipotle peppers could have wheat if they are in adobe sauce- but when I looked I didn't see it listed in the ingredient list book, so that really should be added... as the only information we have on ingredients, it's important (as you know) that nothing be left out, especially any allergens. I hope you will pass the word on to corporate. (And if I missed it and it is listed, my bad- but I really didn't think it was.) Chipotle can be powdered or dried, whole chilies so unless it says chipotle in adobe sauce there's no real indication that it would be a problem... I did tell the person at the counter about my intolerance (Celiac Disease, not an allergy exactly) but I don't think she marked it on the bill. She was very nice and helpful, to the best of her ability, though. My DH was actually the one that ordered the smoky bowl and I just had a few bites, luckily. Thanks for the comments! I will keep the southwest tofu in mind :) -Sea Thanks, employee!

Another is the yumm and greens which is the original bowl (again any subs welcome, even different bowls) on top of fresh spring greens and topped with corn chips really works. It is the most popular among regulars 3) All skewers are off limits the tofu use bbq sauce from kc masterpiece which doesnt fly and the teriyaki and tempeh skewers use soy sauce. The secret asian man tofu (found on a salad) is not gluten free as its cooked with soy sauce too. However the southwest tofu is gluten free and is a bit spicy and great (Can be added to bowls for around 1.50 too) 4) Please tell us at the counter about your allergy we can add it to the ticket and we will take precautions to avoid any contamination we can 5) also we at the corvallis store are trying to get gluten free bread from a local bakery (living earth bakery) for gluten free turkey and veggie sandwiches which would be great but we are going through some corporate hurdles right now but hopefully with in the month :). I hope that was helpful thanks for the write up we always appreciate the press glad you enjoyed the meal alright thought Id give you a hand here, im a cafe yumm employee at the corvallis, who also had a girlfriend who is gluten sensitive.
