Palmer's Deli & Market is located in the Kaleidoscope at The Hub - easily accessible via Skywalk. They offer gluten-free sandwiches on Udi's multigrain bread. It is made at the counter in front of you and the staff makes sure to change gloves and prepare your sandwich on a special cutting board. I have now eaten at Palmer's twice and have not had any issues. The sandwiches are huge - allows for leftovers - and the price is reasonable for lunch.

Gluten free bread, lots of gluten free salads, one type of gluten free cookie, lays chips (some gluten free). Server changed gloves and made sandwich on 1 of 3 sandwich prep lines that hadn’t been used yet that day (it was clean from the night before).

I am not a fan of their sandwiches, but I do like the salads in the case and the soups.. Usually have gluten free cookies too. Seems like a lot of potential CC though.

Staff will ask if GF bread request is for preference or allergy. I stated allergy and they changed gloves and did steps to avoid cross contamination. Good choices and several side dishes to choose from.
