Taste has a great seasonally rotating Farmstand salad that you can add protein to if you’d like. The best thing on the menu for someone gluten-free is also seasonal… February to March they have a Ruben that is incredible! Because it’s warm with thousand island dressing and sauerkraut and melted cheese it softens the otherwise dry and crumbly gluten-free bread and makes it so delicious! Throughout the rest of the year you can get any other sandwich on gluten-free bread, but beware, it is dry and crumbly and falls apart before you can finish it. Sometimes though, you just want a sandwich so it will do!

The sandwich I got was tasty, but the gf roll was some cold, this hard. If they would have warmed it even a bit that would have made a huge difference. They only offer gf rolls, no other baked goods. They carry some candies and snacks that are gf. There is no indication that the sandwich meats and fillings are actually gf.

Ordered a gluten free sandwich to go- bread roll was great, didn’t feel sick, slightly expensive but seems to be the going rate in the the area. Ordered using the online site and was easy to choose gluten free bread.

Ate here a lot last year while on vacay (theres just something about a MTO sandwich) meat was fresh cut and delicious. Waited (impatiently) to go back this year and sad to say it wasnt worth the wait. Girl taking orders was rushing (we were only ones there) and very dismissive with any questions asked. My order wasnt right, neither was my son's, my daughters fruit mix had hair in it (they fixed that, but she had def already eaten some) and the GF peanut butter cookies on the shelf (that I LOVE) only had 1 bag that hadnt expired (and while i grabbed 3 bags, at $7 each, i sure wasnt buying expired food). Im not sure what happened but my fav little beach sandwich shop will not be getting my fams business again. Close to $60 for lunch is high, but worth it for great service and confidence that it's made right, and neither of those happened. Sad

I ordered half a sandwich on gluten free bread and a small salad. Both were quite tasty. One complaint, with my salad they gave me a bag with my utensils, dressing, and a large piece of regular gluten bread. Ummm... Of course they had to get me a whole new set. Just made me a little nervous about the care taken with my food to prevent cross contamination.

They serve Udi's bread but cannot accommodate toasting of bread. :( They had a large list of salads mostly gluten free but ran out of chicken. strange for a Monday. They also have gluten snacks too. As other reviewer stated all menu and gluten free snacks are expensive I would love to see them comply with ADA and get a gluten free menu.

Its expensive, but all of the sandwich meat is gluten free, the ingredients are always very fresh (most grown locally), and everything tastes amazing!

Had a gluten free sandwich and it was probably the best gluten free bread I’ve had thus far. They also asked if I needed it made on a different surface. Both me and my celiac coworkers had no issues. They also note on the menu if a dressing or other item has gluten in it. Great experience.

Had a great experience. Ordered on the app, had the Cobb salad and took off what wasn’t GF. Had the Brunswick stew, which was delicious! Did not feel sick afterwards!

I’ve gotten gluten free sandwiches a few times and they’re really good. I’m celiac and never reacted.

Just had a GF sandwich at TASTE in Town Center yesterday and it was AMAZING. I need to figure out where they source their bread or if they make it in house. It was an actual sandwich size, like a beautiful rustic round loaf size, and it was so soft and actually held together. I was shocked that it was GF but I know for a fact it was because when the worker handed me my sandwich he said it was and the sandwich was marked GF on the order sticker.

If you aren't in the mood for a sandwich they also offer salads but I haven't tried those yet!

Limited options but those that are offered are great! Particularly like the Caesar salad (modified to be GF — no croutons with a side of GF bread). Managers are knowledgeable of celiac. Hit or miss with those working at registers. Ask for a manger when in doubt! They do have a separate prep area, FYI.
