Healthy Living Market and Cafe

Worked here. First day manager told me the gluten free cookies she brought to the meeting were celiac safe. Turns out they are not “gluten free” but “made without gluten containing ingredients” I was severely ill. For reference: Coworker with celiac witnessed them making the normal and gluten free bread sandwiches on same cutting board with Same knife at the same time. Nothing prepared in house is safe. They do have a lot of allergy friendly groceries though, many of which I haven’t found anywhere else in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of choices. Everything is listed with ingredients. Had a very good Rueben sandwich. They use Udis bread.

got sick from their salad bar. I did contact them and they admitted to preparing salad bar items on the same surface as sandwiches

So many options even their sandwiches and bakery have fresh options

Excellent GF selection. Try the GF carrot cake located among a selection of GF bakery items. Outstanding!

This place is so neat. It's a whole grocery store sort of like whole foods w a cafe in the back of the store. You can find lots of local gf baked goods. Everything in the cafe marked as to whether or not it's gf. I ordered a delicious gf sandwich at the deli. Really neat place!

Excellent choice of gluten free goodies. GF breakfast sandwich made to order as I watched on dedicated work top and with dedicated cookware. Good choice of GF baked goods too.

Has a dedicated section for gluten free, as well as options throughout the store. House made products as well.

Amazing selection of gluten free foods! With an entire section dedicated to GF foods, you don't have to search the store for GF it's all in one spot! I have found there prices to be the same if not better than the chain grocery stores.

was able to get a delicious gluten free sandwich made for me, but pricey. I can get most of the gluten free options they offer cheaper at the regular supermarket or online.

very expensive. I can find the same products in the gluten free section of the grocery store for a cheaper price. also keep in mind that your local grocer will get anything you want if you ask. The price will typically be cheaper. I am also able to get bakery items right from the GF bakery cheaper.

Good GF section: But buyer beware: all food in GF section is NOT necessarily GF. Check ingredients! I mentioned this to an employee who was completely unconcerned and unapologetic. Bakery: usually one GF muffin option and one GF dessert option. Last time I was there, they did NOT offer a GF sandwich in deli.
