Middle Child

Ate here in person and had an awesome GF/celiac safe sandwich. Probably the best GF sandwich I’ve ever had. They have an entire space dedicated for gluten free preparations.

I usually love middle child. I always felt safe here as a celiac. However I tried ordering online for pick up today and while they have an option of gluten free allergy, I was unable to choose that one and the only available option is “for preference.” Kind of disheartening to be honest.

Great find for lunch in the city. True deli sandwich with amazing GF bread!

Don’t recommend this place to Celiacs… They did their best to accommodate my GF needs but the kitchen is small and the oven is not separate so cross-contamination can happen easily and I had reactions a few hours later.

Almost all of the sandwiches can be made on GF bread! It’s rosemary flavored and sort of like a focaccia

This is NOT a gluten free space. They have a separate gf bread selection for allergies but other than that there isn’t anything on the menu that can be prepared for celiacs.

Such a fun place. Sat at the counter as the crew rocked out to Elton John music. Loved the Vibe.

Got the egg breakfast sandwich. Bread was cooked on separate pan. And hash brown.

AMAZING FOOD, VIBES, and LABELS! Can clearly tell what is a gf option and what is not.

Great gluten free food and service! I got a breakfast sandwich and added bacon to it. The potato bread was crispy, taste great, held everything in the middle, and didn’t get soggy or break!! They had a total separate area to make the gluten free food that was very clean and avoided cross contamination. I didn’t get sick. I’d eat here again!!

During busy times you may have to wait a bit longer because they clean the grill before making your food (specify it's an allergy though or they might not) but it's so worth it! they're gluten free bread is very herby and flavorful. Also they sell their sandwich pickles- highly recommended grabbing some of those.

Came for Saturday lunch + got the reuben. Great GF bread! Prices were good for the portion size (~$13 for a big sandwich). Small kitchen + shared oven (so some cross contamination could occur), but they prepare GF items in a separate area. Fast service. Would recommend!

DELICIOUS. The GF is somehow awesome. It’s busy as heck but worth the wait. They are very careful about cleaning a surface to make the sandwich on. Haven’t gotten sick either time I ate there. Sometimes they run out of the GF bread, though, so make sure you ask before waiting in line for a long time.

I had the best gf sandwich I’ve had since being diagnosed with Celiac. The gf bread was delicious. They took good gf precautions and made my sandwich in the back/separate. They were understanding about celiac and I felt safe. I will definitely be returning!!!

Popped into Middle Child as soon as they opened for breakfast. Got the Reuben on GF - best sandwich I can remember having in years. Housemade corned beef was delicious. The bread was excellent - a nice focaccia style, so it really held up beautifully to the sauerkraut and sauce. Do not pass on a side of hash brown! This was the most perfect Golden, crispy, creamy rectangle of fried beauty I have ever eaten. A little grated onion in with the potato for more savory flavor.

wow! these sandwiches are amazing. these might be the best gf sandwiches i have ever had actually. i tried the blt (messy but delicious) and the shopsin club and couldnt even decide which i loved more. i appreciate that they made an effort to get quality gf bread (tastes like its probably taffets), it makes such a difference to not be eating an udis frozen roll. i am so happy to have found this place, as a very sensitive eater i don’t have a ton of tasty options, where i don’t have to feel worried to bring non-gf eaters because i know it will be delicious for them too.

I trust this place with my gluten free life. They have a separate area for making gluten free sandwiches and are very careful. Just make sure you indicate on your order you have celiac and need them to prep it separately, they will 100% do it. The sandwiches are amazing and I’ve never gotten sick here.

They prepare the food in a separate area of the kitchen. One person will prepare it in that area to avoid cross contamination. When you order the food, they will ask if you have celiac/need it prepared separately.

The bread is amazing!! I had a hard time believing it was GF at first. I usually get the grilled cheese but they have been out of it for some time.

The staff is friendly!

Utmost respect for food allergies. Delicious gluten free bread. The creation of the sandwiches was entertainment all by itself. But eating the precisely made creation was heaven. Definitely recommend!

Separate prep space, three glove changes, great bread, innovative sandwich options and good customer service. If I lived in Philly I'd be here all of the time.

Unbelievable sandwich bread and amazing staff!!

They have gluten free bread that they get from a bakery in Long Island which is amazing. They are also super knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. They have a completely separate grill to make gluten free items. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich with pork roll!

Celiac friendly?

Breakfast sandwich was spectacular! GF is +$2 and they ask if it needs to be on a separate grill. It’ll take 10-15 minutes but the food is delicious, well portioned, and fairly priced.

ive been here twice with no problems, delicious gluten free bread! i highly recommend the turkey shopsin! I will be returning. they even use a seperate toaster for the gf bread!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious. Never had a problem. Always ask if bread can be cut and cooked together.

Middle child was so good! The staff here is so friendly and accommodating. I told them my sandwich had to be gluten free and they knew right away to put it in as a celiac order and prepared it separately from the regular food. The gluten free bread here is DELICIOUS and my “so long sal” sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time. I definitely recommend!!
