Panera

We went to the one on S. Campbell. We just stopped in for coffees to go. I started having my symptoms of being glutened about 15-20 minutes after we left. I wouldn't recommend even going in for any gluten sensitive person.

Celiac friendly?

No

When we went a couple of yrs ago, I got sick. The employees acted as if they didn't have any concern for my needs on a GF diet. I can't say if my food ended up being contaminated by accident, on purpose, by failure to clean surfaces, change gloves, etc, but I know I was sick before I even finished my food or left the restaurant. My Dr did say it's possible from all the Flour in the air, my food could've been contaminated or it was from simply inhaling the flour particles in the air too. Again, not sure which, but not going back to test it out. Didn't seem to want to be bothered w my concerns over preparation, my needs, etc. Called Mgr, not much concern there either. This was the E Sunshine location just as an FYI. Things could be better now, but not worth the aftermath to me to try it again! Oh, also ordered some food to go about 1.5 yrs ago...had another reaction & I never stepped foot in the place, hubby went in instead. So, I did give it 2 tries before now refusing to go there again!

It sounds odd for me to suggest a restaurant full of bread, but they actually have several nice salads. Instead of bread for the side, you can get an apple or chips. I eat their Fuji Apple Salad frequently, and I've never had any issues. They give you a notebook with the nutrition info.

A safe option would be their mango smoothie and green goddess chicken Cobb salad. Both are very good. They don't have many gluten free options and I'm not sure how safe they are about cross contamination.

Not completely gluten free, but when I told the woman “gluten allergy” she said the salads and a soup do not have gluten ingredients. She said they change gloves/use clean utensils and called it back as a “sideline.” I was eating in but they packaged it in a plastic to go with a lid to keep it separate.

Terrible the lady at the register wouldnt even look into gluten free. She said we don't do that here. Like I was trying to get anything GF and she wouldn't even bother helping me or asking. But would help the next lady with her food allergy

I ordered the green goddess salad which is gluten free. But got sick after eating. I think it's a bit or miss thing due to cross contamination. But I won't eat there again.
