My wife is the one with celiacs disease. We asked if they could change gloves and do things to avoid cross contamination, and they said they could not. I've seen another reviewer that was disappointed in this, but I appreciated that they were upfront and honest. It was lunch time, and they were very busy while only have two people making food. However, I got my Cuban sandwich on a gluten-free bun, and it was phenomenal! This place is probably best for people who are gluten intolerant or who are not extremely sensitive. They were very kind, so I wish I'd had an opportunity to go back when they weren't as busy

Small little sandwich shop that has a variety of cold and hot sandwiches and burgers. Staff were very friendly and the food is made fresh. They do have gluten-free buns that tasted good and not dry. This is a gluten friendly place but not a gluten free restaurant. I recommend them for their sandwiches and fresh meals.

I told them I had a gluten allergy, they said they have a gluten free bun. I asked if gloves could be changed for prep and they said no cause they were too busy and it would break the flow. Suffice to say I didn't eat here. My husband said his non-GF sandwich was good though

Asked staff about allergy procedures and how could they accommodate my allergy (celiac). Both workers looked confused and said they really couldn't do anything. Left not getting anything.

I get the panini and have never had an issue, they clean the surface AND use tinfoil to prevent cross contamination, lots of options but not everything is gluten free.

Awesome place, bread is gluten and dairy free. They can pretty much make any sandwich gluten free but the Gyro. The fryer does share with non gluten items though. Very knowledgable staff.

This is a great little sandwich shop. I have eaten here twice without reaction. Portions are sizeable. They make a good Cuban sandwich...we have Tampa roots and it's hard to find a good one in Minnesota (unless I make it)! The gluten free bread is good, worth the upcharge.
