Great sandwich shop with wonderful GF sandwich options. They seem to get it and will carefully prepare your sandwich safely. I’ve eaten many times and never got sick. Takeout recommended.

I have visited here many times and every time they handled my food very carefully. I highly recommend their gluten free BLT.

Amazing Deli and great service. When you order GF bread they ask if it’s a preference or allergy. He made sure to wipe down the area and change gloves before making my sandwich. Will be back for sure!

Knowledgable staff. They have gluten free bread which they will “toast” in a cleaned panini machine. After explaining cleaning the machine wasn’t safe enough, the staff offered to wrap bread in tinfoil first. Sandwich was delicious!

The staff was extremely friendly and educated on GF allergies. The deli was clean and service was quick. I had THE BEST roast beef sandwich there today! The GF bread they use is delicious. I highly recommended this place. I’ll definitely be going back real soon.

Staff is very nice and the gluten free bread they use is amazing! Not sure what brand it is but you can actually feel like a normal person with taste buds here. Definitely going back.

Well, after reading the reviews, I was really psyched to eat here. I ordered a sandwich, the guy changed his gloves, then I was told:

"It will take a minute, he has to toast the bread first."

I asked, "Oh, you have a dedicated toaster?"

They said no, but that he would "wipe it off first."

Uh, what?? I asked if he could just not toast the bread, and they said no, but he would wipe off the toaster.

I got my money refunded and left. 0/10 would not recommend.

The other reviews stating that the sandwiches are loaded with meat and cheese are correct -- the sandwiches are wonderful and filling!

We stopped while traveling through the area and appreciated the great GF food and good service.

The bread is usually very good and it's so nice to have a 'normal' sandwich sometimes. The staff is really what makes it though. They always remember me when I go in which is so nice.

Gluten free breads for sandwiches with Boars Head meat and cheese. Bread can be dry but still nice having the option.
