Fresh Healthy Cafe

This location at the airport didn’t seem to have any practices in place to prevent contamination. Gluten free bread was good but felt very unsafe. Stick to the smoothies.

9/2019 Update: Back at ATL and thought I would give this place another chance. Terrible idea! I told them 3 times I have allergies to gluten and dairy, please make sure they change their gloves and prepare it on a clean area. I get my panini and there’s little pieces of shredded cheese on it. 😠

3/2019 Update: staff has changed and they’re not knowledgeable plus they’re rude! I asked for a GF panini and an acia berry smoothie. The cashier’s name tag was hidden under her apron but I asked for her name and she said something like Desmond or Diamond. She told me the smoothie wasn’t GF. I asked what ingredient wasn’t GF? She couldn’t answer and had someone from the back come up (who seemed annoyed with me for wanting to order from them). He said acia is GF and walked away. Don’t feel safe eating here anymore.

2018 Original Post: I always try to stop here when I’m flying through ATL. Best GF airport food I’ve found in years.

Gluten free wrap was grilled on same panini press as regular bread! Celiacs, avoid this place!!

Staff seem confused and not educated on gluten free. Though gluten free wraps and bread are available they told me the filling of the paninis were not gluten free? But chicken and veggies and pesto should be... Seemed like there had been a recent staff change or menu change. They did make a salad to order with no croutons. The pineapple paradise smoothie was delicious.

Ladies were very friendly. They changed gloves with a smile and told me they have a separate grill for gluten free. I’ve eaten here 7 or 8 times with no issue. I definitely recommend it.

I had a panini here for the first time in over 5 years. It was fabulous. They made my food safely. Best airport food I have ever had, even before I knew I had celiac. Correction!!!! I got severely glutened here and I barfed all over the T2, T3 area at the ATL! Please stay away from here if you are Celiac or gluten intolerant.

Awful customer service. We tried to ask the guy making the food details about their cross contamination etc and he literally yelled at us for “not trusting him” it’s hard enough for me to ask someone to accommodate me and take extra precautions and to get yelled at for trying to protect myself was really disappointing. I will never eat here again.

Excellent GF panini. Great find in the airport.

Gave me a safe salad. It was a very bland salad, but it was safe. Food in the airport: may not be excellent, but it does what it needs to!

This is located in terminal C in front of gate C42. I love this place! Finally real food a gluten free person can eat safely at an airport!

I am Celiac and travel often!! I loved this place. It appears to be gone or moved. So disappointed.

We stopped here on our way out of Atlanta because, while I do not have celiac, I do have a gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance. They had at least two breakfast sandwich options that looked delicious. They claim to be very careful to avoid cross-contamination, even using a separate panini press though they were made in close proximity to where my husband's was being made. I did clarify that I don't have celiac, so maybe they didn't feel the need to be as careful. The sandwich that I had was delicious though my bread stuck to the paper and got a little messy. My husband enjoyed his regular sandwich as well. One guy even asked where we got them as he is in the airport once a month and hadn't seen any like it. Definitely hit the spot.

Definitely recommend this place. Delicious gluten free panini

Good food. Take away only.

The staff was great. The food was yummy! It isn’t a sit down restaurant. Would recommend and will visit again.

GF wraps, paninis and salads and plenty of smoothie and juice choices. Very tasty!

Surprisingly good for airport food and gluten free. Fair pricing. Worth the inter terminals walk if you’re not by C42.

Panini was very good - seemed knowledgeable on GF, prices weren't bad for an airport restaurant.

It's Located by gate C42. C Gates for those trying to find it.

Staff seems knowledgeable and cautious about cross contamination. Have eaten here a few times while traveling through ATL airport with no issues.

I've been here quite a few times and they've been great. Will change their gloves and have a separate press for the GF wraps. Have never been sick. Worth taking the tram if you're in a different gate other than C and have a little time.

Fresh, friendly service, & delicious. Worth the effort!!

I was super nervous because my sandwich looked and tasted like a normal gluten free sandwich! It was delicious! And they have a separate cooking space for GF!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious sandwich in a GF wrap, and able to customize (I'm allergic to dairy, so left off cheese). Very tasty and reasonably priced, with GF sides available also (like Plentils!) A little pricey, but that may just be airport food in general.

Thanks to all who gave location. C 42 is the place to go. Nice to be able to get a sandwich rather than having to resort to salad again. The juice is nice, too.

Great gluten free food. Early bird sandwich is excellent!

Gate C42's Fresh Healthy Cafe finally gives us gluten free food we're excited about at ATL! Smoothies are great and the gluten free wraps are amazing. They assured us they'd change gloves and prepare in separate area. My wife had no bad reaction! We couldn't even tell that the wrap was gluten free, awesome! Perfect safe eating while waiting at gate. So excited about this place!

C42 - as a celiac & frequent traveler, this is one of my fav stops to eat!!

Lots of options for someone looking for Gluten Free or healthy options at the airport. GF wraps, paninis, salads, smoothies and soup. Highly recommend for gluten sensitive.

Across from C42 This place does GF wraps or salads to order. They have a variety of choices. They also do fresh juice or smoothies.

One of a few places in the airport that can do GF bread sandwiches (including breakfast). Also has bagged snacks.
