The Sumner Café

Good sandwiches. I got a cold sandwich because I didn’t know if there was a separate sandwich press. I did inform the staff of my Allergy and asked they have the cook change gloves. They instantly ran back to the kitchen and even marked my bag as GF. Good gluten free bread. Ordered chips as a side but was given the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. It was a to go order and I wasn’t able to have them fix the mistake, so check your order before you leave.

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Average

Well marked menu, I did not ask about separate kitchen facilities that would reduce CC. They use grocery store GF bread as replacement for regular menu sandwich options, and have some soups marked as GF, along with commercially packaged potato chips, and green salad.

I was driving through and in need of lunch so I pulled up the app to see what was around me. I was a bit dubious at first from outside the building but the cafe is very nice. The woman that took my order appeared knowledgeable and understanding of gluten-free. They offer gluten free bread or can make a sandwich into a salad. Their potato salad states gluten free. She indicated that care is taken to prepare food safely. It was quite good and I’ll be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered to go and they were fast for the amount of people dinning in the restaurant. My sandwich was cold but the Bacon was warm. Gluten free sides are chips and potatoe salad (ask about the soup it can be gluten free sometimes) and it comes with an Andes mint :)

Great food. they are careful with preparation, but the servers aren't extremely knowledgeable about specific dishes....be sure to ask if you have other non-gluten sensitivities.

they have great tasting gf bread for excellent sandwiches and some soups.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Would of been 5 stars but the owner wasn't very nice and boxes don't include the gluten free cookie as substitute :/ cost alot for cookie ;( but it was a good cookie when I had it :)

I have not actually eaten here, but I called one day to ask if they used separate condiments (ie: mayo, etc) for their gf sandwiches. I was told that they didn't, but that they could give me packets of condiments instead. I thought the packet option was nice, but they don't tell people about the shared condiments unless you specifically ask. I would hope that most people who are gf know to ask questions, but some people just trust when they are told something is gf. Personally, I think if you have gf offerings, you should make sure that you know about cross contamination issues. Their heart is inthe right place, I'm sure.

The sandwiches are delicious and Sabrina, the owner, goes out of her way to make your experience a delight!
