East Bay Deli

Don’t order delivery from here unless you want to be told, “just pick the bread off and eat the meat!” I was literally told that and because they were late delivering they wouldn’t remake it or refund. Management did nothing! Waisted $20 but hey that is cheaper than using an epipen and a trip to the hospital!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great little deli with a very extensive menu. They serve the new Udi’s bread and have a salad bar. Service was a bit slow but I would still recommend it.

I ordered a sandwich on gf bread. When I received it, it appeared to be on a wheat bread. I went back inside to double check and the two women were abrupt and not kind when I asked for them to double check. I am accustomed to gf entrees being labeled as well, which it was not.

Absolutely terrible. The staff had no clue what was safe and what wasn't when I went. I even asked for them to ask the cooks and she said I could order something without meat! Wth!?

Excellent GF turkey sandwich!!!

Found me a turkey sandwich! They have gluten free bread, rolls, and cookies.

They have gluten free bread and salads! It is very good and they change their gloves and all. Definitely a good place to visit if your craving a good sandwich!

The cashier was helpful, my order was labeled gluten free, and they changed gloves etc. I ordered the greek salad with grilled chicken, while it wasn't authentic Greek tasting, that's fine, it was still tasty. I'm mainly concerned about eating safely! It was a good size portion too. This is my second time at EBD, my confidence is growing (I have a lot of anxiety about dining out) and my hubby is happy too bc he sees that I'm able to relax and enjoy myself.

I ordered the Citadel sandwich on GF bread. It came with a bag of potato chips & a pickle. It was really good! No reactions afterwards. Recommend for a quick affordable lunch!

The gluten free menu is glued to a side wall by the register so I had to lean over to see it. Ingredients are listed by allergen, but does not list menu items. For instance, the meats that are gf are listed, but not listed by the sandwich names. I ended up getting the citadel on gf bread. So far I'm not ill. Even though the menu says they have udi gf chocolate chip cookies, they no longer sell them.
