100% gf facility. Food was okay, but I don’t think they heated it up well and when I asked the worker for a menu or recommendation on what to eat he was pretty unhelpful. But none the less, it’s safe to eat there and that is more than I can ask for at most places!

Dedicated GF spot in The Reading Terminal. You’ll see the pretzels and want them but I am just going to emphasize now that you NEED one. You’re welcome in advance.

Also fulfilled my desire for Philly cheesesteak while visiting by getting a Philly cheesesteak stuffed pretzel 😍

Only downfall is I returned the next morning with my heart set on a pop tart and/or donut for breakfast while spectating the marathon but they didn’t open til 10 so I missed out.

I had a pretzel and a powdered donut and loved that I could join in on some local food despite being celiac! The pretzel was slightly dry (but that’s expected for gf bread often) but the donut was honestly out of this world delicious! One of the best I’ve had (gluten free before diagnosis or otherwise)!! They have several other items like popcorn, fairy floss and other packaged treats - well worth a look while you’re waiting for the corn dog you should’ve ordered first from Fox & Son!

Oh. My. Goodness! As oh the goodness! Every snack food gluten free! Popcorn, muffins, Jewish Apple Cake (!). And you can order it online and have it shipped straight to your door. I bought several flavors of popcorn: Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Cherry, Birthday Cake. Blueberry Muffins, Lemon Squares and Jewish Apple Cake all for train ride home to DC (and a few days on). OH! The Marshmallow Rice Crisp Treats are a couple inches thick and about 3 sq inches! Topped with mini marshmallows! Yummy! When I’m in Philadelphia, this will be a snack shop stop for me to stock up! And I’m ordering online in between to keep the sweetness coming.

I found a new snack shop in the Reading terminal market. Sparrow's gourmet snacks had just opening. I had a delicious heated pop tart. And bought two different kinds of bagged cookies that were cooked in a gluten free nut free bakery. I was very tempted by the different flavors of popcorn. Everything in the shop is gluten-free they had some cookbooks as well. The owners and staff are very familiar with celiac. I wish the store was in my neighborhood.
