The Works Bakery Cafe

I ordered the egg sandwich with bacon and spinach on gf bread. The server selected ‘allergy’ on the computer before placing my order, which I appreciated. However, my egg sandwich was not very good. It was soggy and the packaging was wet when I got it. Afterwards, my stomach didn’t feel great.

Ordered a bbq chicken panini. Was put on very good whole grain GF bread for $1 add. Order was marked as allergy and I heard the order taker repeat directly to cook. Food was excellent. My wife had GF sesame chicken bowl on quinoa, also very good.

I always get the super chicken panini on GF bread and it’s delicious. They always use new utensils and cover the panini press with wax paper so there’s no contamination. I’m a celiac and have never had an issue here! Their gf blueberry muffins are to die for!

I didn’t get sick so what their menu lists as GF is GF so far as my experience went. But, the counter staff knew nothing about GF and were not interested in making certain of anything. Had a so-so quinoa bowl but at least I didn’t get sick.

The staff was NOT knowledgeable about what was safe and gluten free. They offered my daughter Mac and cheese while another employee caught the mistake. However after all our talk about being celiac and gluten free they managed to give us a gluten muffin instead of the gluten free muffin we asked for. I am a severe celiac and took one bite and realized it. They did not take me seriously at all. They were barely apologetic. They had some great looking quinoa bowls but wouldn’t trust this place with my health or my children’s at all!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter ate a salad here and did my have a problem. It was delicious!

I was very pleased with all of the gf choices. They had salads, several quinoa bowls as well as sandwiches available on gf bread. I opted for a gf sandwich. I had 2 different people check with me about contamination from their toaster. They were very aware of the possibility of an issue. I was quite happy to find this little gem and will definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

They DO offer gluten free bread...but cross contamination made us sick. They didn't use separate cutting boards or knives. On another occasion they made our GF sandwiches with gluten bread...ugh. I loved this place pregluten free days though. Great place to stop when traveling. Park in Harmony Parking Lot. Enter through the back entrance. Good place for families.

Salads and maybe soups available. Lots of contamination from their many bread products. A nice place to use wifi to get some work done, or meet up with a group.

Great place for breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, healthy eats and drinks. Gluten free breads and good allergy safety!

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!
