The Cup and the Scone

Wheat-free, uses oats

The Cup and the Scone is a café-bakery with a gluten-free kitchen in Pontiac, Illinois: specialty coffee, homemade scones and muffins. Oats on the menu ("Sunrise" muffin): poorly tolerated by some people with coeliac disease.

No wheat, rye or barley, but oats are used on site: a risk for many people with coeliac disease.

Good to know if you have celiac disease

Unverified claim. The establishment claims to be gluten-free, but Nutrixe has not yet been able to verify it.

Contains oats. Oats not certified gluten-free are almost always contaminated with wheat during growing and milling. Even certified, their avenin protein is poorly tolerated by some people with celiac disease.

Hidden in strict celiac mode.
