Cheese Louise Portland

I had such a great experience here! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, which I always appreciate. They assured me that all the ingredients for my grilled cheese were gotten from fresh containers and my sandwich would be cooked separately. They also bring the gluten free sandwich out separately to ensure nothing gets mixed up. I tried the Nashville hot chicken grilled cheese and it was to die for! The bread is also surprisingly large for gf bread, which was a real treat. The chips that come with it are such a nice compliment as well. We also ordered a side of pickles which were delicious. I was so excited to see they have 2 other locations in New Hampshire and hope to find myself back here or at one of their other locations in my future travels!

Great experience! Staff are knowledgeable and have allergen protocol. They have gluten free bread, use parchment paper on the panini press, and clean down the entire workspace before making your sandwich. They bring out the gluten free food separately as well. It was FANTASTIC, perfect comfort food ❤

YUM!! I talked to the person working the register and she explained all their policies for allergies, so I felt very safe ordering a grilled cheese. It was absolutely delicious and I didn’t feel at all sick after. The chips that come with it at gf too, I double checked.

Prefacing this by saying that I am neurotic about restaurants because of having Celiac Disease, but I felt so comfortable here. I was practically dancing in my seat eating my bacon grilled cheese. I communicated that I had an allergy when I ordered and they were reassuring that they take precautions in preparation.

We went to two locations, first in Conway then later to Portland. Both had GF bread and knowledgeable about if it was a sensitivity or celiac. I was pleased with their attention to it. The actual grilled cheese was good too! That’s why we went back to Portland. My kids had to stop there again on our trip.
