Avoid - there are other options in town. Expensive (lunch for 4 … $53) and poor execution and quality. A grilled cheese - never seen one messed up until now. Slapping 2 pieces of slightly toasted bread around cold cheese slices is not worth $8, and most certainly doesn’t meet most people’s expectations (bread, cheese, pan, heat, melt …) Another sandwich specifically ordered no cheese or sauce came with both, and turkey tested off. At that point really concerned about quality control for gluten free order in group … not worth the risk. Ordered to go, so perhaps they didn’t care. Extremely disappointed given earlier reviews.

Pay attention. My gluten free sandwich was not on gluten free bread. Should have checked my order before getting in the highway. It was a disappointment. The kitchen had a lot of people, but was very disorganized. Will try again, because they are lovely… but this time was a bust.

Always come here when Trace through Harrisonburg bc they’re very familiar w gluten free. I’m able to get a proper safe GF breakfast sandwich and a GF treat for the road! One time in here I was told one of the owners has Celiac so they’re aware of cross-contamination.

Ate here twice in August 2020 and I love it! They can make any sandwich on GF bread (Udi’s) or a wrap - the wraps are excellent. They usually have a GF lemon bar and some other homemade dessert. The owner (I think) is GF or his child is, and all staff are extremely attentive if you say GF. All sandwich components like the lunch meat are GF and you can definitely feel safe. Having an Italian “sub” / wrap is now the highlight of every trip to town. Close to JMU so mostly takeout orders, but they’ve about 8-10 tables if you want to eat in.

Friendly & knowledgable staff, forgot to ask them to change their gloves but I’m sure they would have if I had been more diligent. I was so thrilled they offered GF subs (wraps and breads) that I forgot! Food was very delicious though and my GF wrap came with potato chips vs. bagel chips.

The staff was very knowledgeable about the gluten-free options. It seems that the options change based on what they have available that day. When I went, they had gluten-free wraps and bread as a substitute to the breakfast sandwiches (which I’ve found is rare for breakfast items) and they also offered a gluten-free lemon bar, which I didn’t try.

Excellent find. Any sandwich can be made with gluten free bread or as a wrap. They have a dedicated cooking area for preparing gf orders. Baked goods are prepared first thing in the am before other baked goods. Owners father has celiac so he is very knowledgeable about strict gf diet. Owner makes cakes on request

Awesome place to stop! We were driving through town and saw the reviews so decided to stop for breakfast. Everyone was aware of celiac issues due to their own family members having celiac. They take cross contamination really serious and use separate knives, gloves, and surfaces to keep clean. Highly recommend
