O'Briens Sandwich Cafe

I had a very good soup and toastie combo at O'Brien's. I asked if they could both be gluten free and the sandwich maker confirmed they could be, and asked if I was coeliac. They then changed gloves and used separate equipment to make th toastie. When it was brought out to me the staff member said gluten free which I always appreciate. Very tasty, kind staff, plenty of seating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free bread. Staff seemed knowledgeable about celiac's. Sandwich was good. They grabbed a designated cutting board and clean knife and changed gloves. Was gluten free until she grabbed the mayo used with her gloves on for the sandwich and then proceeded to close and cut the sandwich with the same gloves that touched the mayo container- so cross contamination was there but the rest was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Found by accident. Had delicious gluten free bread, great sandwiches, dessert choices. Ate here twice, very accommodating for celiacs. Highly recommend.

Used to be super good for gluten free but is awful now. Because of cross contamination worries they’re gluten free bread now comes in sealed plastic packet and the staff are not allowed open them or toast it. So they basically give you the sandwhich filling on a plate and packaged bread separately. Bread all falls apart when you put it together cos it’s shite quality. Soup was still gluten free but personally, I’ll never go any O’Briens again. Not worth the price.

After reading that O’Brien’s are usually reliable, and after a long morning in the hospital, I was really looking forward to a toastie - but I was informed that they were out of gluten free bread. No attempt to highlight other gluten free options.
