The Flour Bakery listed was closed. We had to go several miles to find another location.

They were out of gluten free bread by 10am, but it was 2 days after Xmas. They still had gf brownies and gf macaroon. They were very knowledgeable and offered to make a salad from a sandwich and then asked if it was for gluten allergy.

I was so happy to find Flour! They have gluten free bread and can make any sandwich gluten free. I had been craving an egg sandwich and it was exactly what I wanted. They also ask whether it’s preference or allergy and take special measures. The sandwich came out marked. I also bought the boxed tuna citrus salad and a gluten free lemon bread for later and both were delicious. I had no issues.

I (gf celiac) came here because my gf friend (not celiac) recommended it. I ordered a gf sandwich and they asked if it was allergy or preference before I even got the chance to say allergy. They said they wrap the sandwiches in foil to toast them so they don’t come into contact with the toaster and seemed aware of cross contamination issues. I came here 2 times and didn’t get sick either time! Really great gf bread and sandwiches, so would definitely recommend.

They have gf bread which they make most of their sandwiches on. Some days they have a gf muffin or cookie. Not much choice and the risk of cc is ever present but I’ve been back a few times without incident. And, the sandwiches are good so I take the risk

Not sure how clean prep areas are- did see that the woman changed her gloves several times, and they did ask if it was preference or allergy. Bread was pretty good though- kinda like sub roll. I only went because work catered only sandwiches and it was right near by. It was my only option but I didn't get sick!

The gluten free options I've had were not great. And as the previous reviewer said - gluten is everywhere. All of the pastries are in the same area, etc.

Great. But it's called flour. It's everywhere. Highly doubt anything is actually edible for celiacs, but oh so delicious. Damn this disease.

I love Flour and all of its locations. They are very knowledgeable about allergies, and have a decently sturdy gluten free bread that most of their sandwiches can be put on— only exception would be their grilled sandwiches or naan sandwich, which cannot be made gluten free. For sweets, they have a seasonal gluten free muffin that rotates flavor, a flourless cake and flourless brownie, as well as some meringues. I only wish they had gluten free savory pastries when you want something small, because while their sandwiches are delicious, they are somewhat pricy.

I got a pre made salad that was marked gf. I saw that they had bread for sandwiches and pastries in the case. I didn't explore their cross containing policies.

I went here. Almond macaroon was the only gluten free thing. They have no gluten free bread or pastry!! Very disappointing after reading reviews that they had GF options.
