Panera

I asked if the french onion soup was gluten-free (my favorite) and notified the lady I have celiac (very recently diagnosed) and she checked for me and informed me the Thai Chicken soup was the only soup they had gluten-free. I asked if they had other options since that one is marked Spicy and she said if I saw something she could ask. I went with a caesar salad and doubled the chicken and no croutons, and she changed my side to an apple instead of the typical bread loaf a customer gets from here. She was very polite and let me ask and didn’t make me feel anything other than she was there to help me figure it out. I plan to do more research and see if I can remove on some of their amazing subs next time.

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.
