Not good for celiacs.

BE VERY AWARE OF CROSS CONTAMINATION. They sell regular food and gluten free in the same facility. The worker touched gluten foods, then gluten free foods without washing his hands or changing gloves.

We used to come here frequently to purchase GF bagels & treats. When we pulled up, we saw the “WHOS Gluten free” sign was missing from the front of the building and a customer said Everything Bagels & Who’s gluten free are no longer partners.

I asked the Everything Bagel owner about it and he confirmed they now make their own gluten free bagels in house and they use a different recipes & flours. You can tell the difference. We feel the quality has been affected adversely.

We used to come to this store when the Whos Gluten Free products were made in house. The Whos Gluten Free products were so fresh and high quality. The Everything Bagel new bagels & baked goods were dry and stale - some were even inedible.

They have 3 large displays of GF treats. Alot of variety, but be aware that SOME of these items are not fresh. I am not sure if they are selling that fast, so maybe the baked goods are sitting to long? We bought some of the pastries and not only were they VERY expensive ($7- $10 per Pastry), but most of the items we bough were stale (we found out when we came home after a 40 minute drive).

** Be aware if they offer to heat your food up, it might mean that the food is not fresh and they will warm it so it seems fresh. The owner tried this on us.

When we got home, we all tried the Linzer tarts that tasted like cardboard and the inside had hard preserves. The cannolis had mold on them and the Napoleons tasted off. Some cookies tasted fresh, while others were hard like rocks. Inedible. We will never buy from Everything Bagel again.

BE VERY AWARE OF CROSS CONTAMINATION.

Also - be careful of the prices they charge on you order. This place is not only expensive but they overcharged us. Be careful that you are not overcharged, especially might if you don't pay attention. We were very disappointed.
