Had the bacon, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich. It was delicious!! Make sure to ask them to prepare it celiac safe though, or else they just use the gluten free bread and don’t change their practices.

This is exactly the kind of place i was looking for. Quick and Very tasty! The Turkey salad sandwich was amazing with cranberries. I Was impressed by how hard the kids worked at lunch time. It ran like a well oiled machine! I highly Recommend.

They have gluten free bread for the sandwiches. I asked the lady at the counter if they can avoid cross-contamination and she said they can use a separate cutting board and knife. I observed the person making the sandwich change gloves as well. She said they have a worker with celiac who eats the food. I felt comfortable and the pastrami sandwich was great. You order at a computer and there's no place to put a note in, so I would let them know if you have celiac! I would feel comfortable coming back.

I got the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. The taste was great and the gluten free bread doesn't crumble. Lots of GF options.

I am celiac and eat here all the time and never get sick. They do mention that some items may be subject to cross contamination, however.

This is a Seattle favorite. Sure it’s a little pricey if you compare to like... subway... but you’re in an expensive city getting quality fresh food so it’s really not overpriced considering.

We always enjoy our food and the service has always been top notch for us. Even one meal mess up that we took to go, they immediately refunded us when we contacted them.

Decent sandwich but extremely overpriced! Two sandwiches cost us over $25. Not worth it. There are numerous other awesome gf options right around the corner.

great restaurant! very good gluten free option. they do a good job of avoiding cross contamination (their menu does say there is a risk of it, simply because it's made near regular bread). I haven't had any major issues with cross contamination (possibly a little bit because I'm very sensitive to it), so I would rate this restaurant very well. their GF bread is also soy free (including soybean oil and soy lecithin). if you have any questions just call up their corporate office for the ingredient list. would highly recommend this place if you have gluten allergies (and soy and dairy allergies too!)

I am just starting to go to restaurants again after be diagnosed with Celiac. I am very fearful of cross contamination. I chose Homegrown off this app for a place to take my mom to lunch. I had a few questions and explained in need a gluten free meal. They didn't seem like they had knowledge of how to accommodate. What was worse, after explaining I needed gluten free, the cook did not change gloves when she went to make my salad. My mom saw this and asked if she was going to change gloves. After the cook gave an annoyed look at her, she did change her gloves. The food was good, but after spending $42 for 2 for lunch, I expected a little more care in my food prep.

The gluten free sandwich I had was wonderful. My gluten eating boyfriend tried a piece of it and even said it was good. Annnnd they make the gluten free stuff in a seperate area so this celiac didn't get sick! There is a risk of cross contamination but they do a good job of trying to prevent it.

I explained I am severely sensitive to gluten (almost too emphatically) but it worked. Didn't get sick. The chicken cranberry (?) sandwich for about $12.50 is huge and delicious. Had three meals out of the full size sandwich (sold in half and whole sizes). The staff is very nice and accommodating. Definitely will eat there again.

It's sad that I had to travel to Seattle to find amazing and regularly sized gluten free but home grown did not disappoint. I am here for a week and I will most likely go back just for the bread and the yummy salads and soups. Definitely worth a try!

The sandwiches are a huge rip off. $19 for two slices of BFree style bread with a few pieces of steak. My meal was the size of one McDonald’s hamburger! I know portion sizes go down with GF bread, but $19?! It didn’t include sides, either. Steak was inedible.

I mentioned I have celiac and asked about cross contact. The person helping me immediately let me know that they take it off the prep line and have one person prepare the whole order using clean cutting board, gloves, knives and using new ingredient bins that haven’t been on the line. I asked about the toaster and she said it’s a conveyor belt toaster and they use foil to protect sandwiches. They seemed well informed and very happy to help. Like all fast food basically the allergy precautions take a bit more time. The food is delish!!
