This is hands down one of the best sandwiches places in San Diego. I’m gluten free and dairy free and get a sandwich here almost everyday. They even have a stamp system. They’re so incredibly friendly, accepting, and welcoming. I couldn’t rate this establishment any higher, love them!

Loved the sandwich I got here, the staff was great when I called and requested gluten free bread and mentioned I have celiacs. They have three options of sour dough, whole grain and another that I forget what type it was.

The BEST sandwich I’ve ever had! No joke finding good gluten free options is so hard & also some where that has other foods for people with you who aren’t gluten free! I’d give this 100 stars if I could! Soooo good & has gluten free sour dough 🥰

I took a photo of the menu. Boar's Head meat & cheeses, sourdough or Udi's gf bread available. They asked if it was an allergy before I could even tell them and this they didn't put my sandwich they the toasting device and used safer prep. I am celiac and very sensitive. I did not reenact. This small place has a circus theme and the sandwiches r named accordingly. I got the Fire Eater and it tasted like any Udi sandwich tastes. they warmed it in microwave. Hubby got the Strong man (not on gf bread) and said it was good, not amazing.

Lion tamer sandwich on sourdough was to die for! Gluten free wow cookies were great too!! Very celiac friendly. Use separate counter for allergy orders

I was eager to try the gf sourdough bread but it was awful. (They also offer Udi's.) I tasted like nothing and the texture was spongy and hard. Also cross contamination is rampant with all the bread in one area with only 1 prep area and toaster. Pre-packed gf cookies. The butter toffee cookie was great.

This place is great! The owner and staff really know their stuff about Celiac concerns and cross contamination. Also, all their deli meats are Boars Head, aka GF friendly. The customer service alone would have brought me back let alone the amazing sandwich I was able to enjoy without any gluten worries. I will definitely be back! Ps. They also outsource GF baked goods from a dedicated kitchen- YUM!!

Very friendly staff. Use Udi's GF bread on request, and asked if I needed a contamination free work space to make my sandwich.
