Review
Has a good selection for lunch but not breakfast. They were able to make me some GF toast but the muffins list advertised GF muffins but they don’t actually sell them. I did not see them using any precautions and they did not even separate out the GF items when bagging the items. It may be better for lunch but if a place can’t accommodate GF when busy then protocols are not in place.

Review
Definitely a ten out of ten for me. You can have almost every sandwich they offer as long as you have it on gf bread. They only have one type of bf bread (multigrain) but as someone who prefers white the bread still tasted great and they did an amazing job at making sure there was no cross contamination and my needs were met, even got a separate bag for my food. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with celiac :)

I’m a big fan of The Works. I live in town and eat here fairly regularly. GF bread is good, and they make an effort to ensure if you get a panini that it’s pressed in the paper to protect it. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great place for breakfast and lunch!
