Ike’s Love and Sandwiches

My celiac kids love the gluten free bread here. If you say it’s an allergy, they change gloves and utensils and keep everything on foil. My kids have never gotten sick from the sandwiches.

Whether it's safe or not depends on the staff. Came here during a busy lunch hour but was fine, came during a quiet dinner hour with younger staff and got glutened. They even put my sandwich in the same bag as the other sandwiches for my family members that weren't gf.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their great, though slow. If you tell them it's a serious celiac reaction, they'll even prep your food separately to make sure there's no cross contamination (and they don't make you feel bad about it).

They were very careful and knowledgeable. No issues afterwards. One of the best sandwiches I've had! I had the Menage A Trois. Delicious! The only problem is there isn't an Ike's near me!

I have gone to various Ike’s locations for years, and I am a sensitive Celiac. I have yet to get sick. They take extra precautions, so your food will take 15 extra minutes on top of a normal sandwich time. I recommend ordering in advance through the app or online. Also, the bread is incredibly dry, so order extra sauce on the bread. I normally order Italian dressing and ask it to be put on both sides of the bread before the toppings. It is a $3 upcharge for gluten free and then extra for the sauce, so know your sandwich will be pricey. So. Delicious. And. Worth it.

This is the best sandwich shop ever! While offering gluten free options for celiac, they also offer regular food. Staff is nice and organized. Food takes a little too long to prepare. But delicious. Definitely recommend.

Catered to my celiac properly. went and washed her hands and changed her gloves. Got the Matt Cain extra dirty with a rice crispy treat. With no reaction! Bread fell apart but that’s to be expected. Lots of options to choose from!
