American Bakers Cafe

The recent post about allergies at the new Korean place reminded me of something I've been trying to follow up on for a while. I stopped into American Baker's Cafe (in the old Artifaktori space) the other morning, wanting to try a muffin.
I asked the guy working there (older, European? accent) if any of the muffins had nuts in the them.
No, he replied, everything was baked fresh this morning. Since he seemed not to understand the question, I asked again.
"We have cranberry, blueberry, and chocolate chip," he replied.
Me: Yes, but that is not what I am asking. Are there nuts in the cranberry muffin?
Him: It is cranberry orange.
Me: OK, as long as it is not cranberry walnut.

I purchased the muffin, which was in fact, cranberry nut. I've been looking in every time I passed to see if there is anyone else there who I could talk to, since these days, this seems to be something that food sales people should be able to answer, but I've only ever seen the same guy there, and I don't think I'll be able to explain the problem to him. Does anyone know if anyone else works there?

PS -- the muffin was tasty otherwise

It would be great if people with food allergies rated their restaurant experiences here: www.allergyeats.com . I have no affiliation with the site, just looking to expand my circle of restaurants that are competent in handling food allergies.
