Had a slight reaction, but not enough to avoid the place completely since it is one of the only sandwich places around here!

The sandwich was so good. Being a GF family going out for a sandwich has never happened. I had pastrami, my Husband had roast beef and my son had turkey. For our 1 year old we got the vegetable soup. We also tried a green salad and potato salad and the gluten free chocolate chip cookies. The bread looked like the large Udi's bread and like I said the sandwich was great. The sides were just ok and the cookies were hard but my 4 year old didn't complain. I would totally go back!!

They use Udi's bread. They are very careful and have several regular customers that have Celiac. The owner came out to talk to me. Great food. Lots of GF options. Go there!

Erik's deli is a nice place to eat and they do try to accommodate people with gluten sensitivities, however on their web page there is a statement about the gluten free bread and it is made from wheat. So I contacted the people about that and they did in fact confirm the gluten free bread contains wheat and being a celiac I was rather saddened, however their salads are good as an alternative.

I have a gluten and dairy allergy. The sandwich I ordered was wonderful. The price was decent for the bay area (Monterey), the bread was light and airy, and the sandwich itself tasted great.

Their menu specifies which items are GF with a green circled "G" next to it, although it warns that there's a chance of cross-contamination. They also offer any sandwich on GF bread (pre-packaged Udi's). I asked them to make my daughter's sandwich on a clean plate so that there would be less risk of contamination. He changed his gloves and used a bread board that is dedicated for GF. My daughter is extremely sensitive to cross contamination, but she had no problems afterward, thanks to their precautions. We would definitely come again!

Really tasty sandwich, decent price, gluten-free bread upon request. Of all the places on this app, so far I like this place the best. I ordered Abbotts Habit and the Ross's beef tasted very fresh and it was nice and tender and the cheese tasted high quality too.

Had a fantastic sandwich here that is made in a separate space from regular sandwiches. Thank you for not upcharging for gluten free bread!

By far, this is probably my favorite GF place to eat and definitely one of the best Erik's around. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They never seem to be too busy for dinner which is nice and they usually always have plenty of seating. They know which soups are GF and they post a list of those soups on the wall so they can quickly refer to it. The GF bread is delicious and so too is the butternut squash soup.

Don't bother unless you either print out or memorize their gluten-free menu posted on their website. I didn't have enough signal to pull it up at the restaurant, and none of the three employees knew anything about a gf menu. They said, "We only have bread."

GF options clearly indicated on menu & includes a sour or two. Cashier specifically asked if my request for GF bread was for an allergy. Great to actually have a sandwich.

It is so hard to find a delicious, celiac friendly restaurant - especially something quick. That's why Erik's DeliCafe is so perfect! The menu is very specific, the owner and employees are knowledgeable and understanding, and the food is seriously delicious. I can finally have soup and a sandwich for lunch again, without having to sacrifice flavor or pay an obscene amount!

This place is not safe and I will not eat here. The manager is rude and doesn't care. Go to the Dublin store, they actually do care!

They were really busy and this isn't my usual Erik's location. The one in Los Gatos has never ever made me sick. But this one did. Itchy scalp and some nice mouth-tingling.

Delicious! Every sandwich can be made with GF bread, but definitely have them check their Nutritional Facts binder for all of the ingredients if you're super sensitive. They were very helpful and conscious of cross-contamination.

Only marked menu item is whole grain gluten free bread. Not sure about the cold cuts. Definitely issues of cross contamination. Sandwiches were good but small.

Delicious every time! They're knowledgable about what gluten free means, which is nice in a deli/sandwich place! They'll ask if it's an allergy or preference and they change gloves and have an entirely separate prep station. Nice to finally have a toasted deli sandwich again!

Great reliable GF sandwiches like other Erik's locations. Udi's bread option in a larger sized slice than you can get at the store. Mention you have a gluten allergy and they will make your sandwich on a dedicated GF station. If you ask the staff, they can show you a binder with all allergen ingredients (not posted online). The secret goo sauce is dairy free.

The GF bread is yummy. Use the website to check specific sandwich ingredients. They have a separate prep area. Though I think the toppings are in a shared area.

This Eriks is one of the better ones around here. They seem very aware of contamination issues and do try to protect you as much as possible. Also, their bread seems to be stored better because it isn't as dry as some other locations

I love this sandwich shop! Fresh ingredients. Yummy sandwiches. I usually get the GF Turkey Walnut Pesto Sandwich. They are great about protecting against cross contamination, using a dedicated cutting board, knife and utensils. Although I haven't tried them, they also have several soups that are gluten free.

I ate here twice this weekend while in town for a soccer tournament nearby. The other Erik's I've visited used to ask if my request for gf bread was due to an allergy or a preference at which point they would change gloves. This location didn't ask so left me feeling less confident about cross contamination. So far I haven't gotten sick and the sandwiches were tasty. Once again, keeping my fingers crossed.

If you're gluten free this is the place to be! All sandwiches on the menu can be made gluten free (if you have Celiac they even have a separate work station and change gloves) and there are also several other delicious options. Taste is not sacrificed and the food is absolutely amazing as well as the customer service. If I lived in the area this would be my regular for sure, love the place.

the staff were really friendly and very gracefully handled our group of seven hungry runners fresh from ragnar relay. I love the pickle mascot and was given a pin with the pickle mascot. also, the pickles are excellent. my friend who needed the gluten free meal enjoyed her sandwich and soup. Will keep this place in mind for next year's ragnar. please open locations in los Angeles

Just a great sandwich place. Gluten free bread is really good and holds up well while you eat your sandwich. Gluten free cookies at check out and the workers knew which soups were gluten free. We went two nights in a row! There is a tiny risk of contamination, I think, if they make your sandwich where they make all the regular sandwiches. Worth asking about.

All sandwiches can be made on GF bread. Most soups GF and they have GF cookies aaa well. Took >20 min for our order during a busy Saturday lunch rush but it was worth it. I think the manager prepared our order so it would be safe. Outdoor seating available so we could bring our dog.

Be careful with the sauces and meats. The pastrami is not gf. The staff is somewhat knowledgable if you let them know you have a serious allergy they will double check ingredients.

I'm a very sensitive celiac and I think this location really understands! It took a few extra minutes because of wipe downs, getting the gluten free knife and getting the gf cutting board from the back. I stop here frequently when I visit my parents, and will continue to. The sandwiches are good!

Finally, a true, delicious, GIANT deli sandwich on gluten free bread. Not that silly tiny Udi's stuff. I'm in love with this place. If you miss sandwiches, run here.
