Hot Table

I love their Panini’s and use to eat them all the time until I had to cut wheat out of my diet. A few weeks ago, I went in and brought my own Gluten free bread hoping they could use it but then found out they have Gluten free rolls! So exciting! They also had some GF desserts too :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have GF small panini, also have GF and dairy free soups and chili (some are not GF so check)

New shop, very clean and they take gluten protocol seriously. They asked if I had an allergy, clean gloves, they used squeeze bottle for condiments and wrapped sandwich in foil before placing on panini press.

Huge shout out to the gf roll they used. I'm rarely impressed with gf bread. It was decent size and tasted ok (ok is high praise from me, I am never impressed with gf bread)

I’ve been to numerous different Hot Table locations and never once had a problem or felt sick after! Tell the workers you have an allergy and they will change their gloves frequently. They also wrap your sandwich in aluminum foil to avoid cross contamination in the panini press. They won’t open the foil or cut the sandwich which again avoids the cross contamination. They give you wrapped plastic utensils to cut it yourself. I always seek out a Hot Table if I’m in need of food on the go!

I felt comfortable eating here. I called ahead to ask about their gluten allergy protocol and they said they use separate knives and condiments for the g-f paninis. While they don’t have separate panini presses, they completely wrap the g-f sandwiches in foil before pressing to avoid cross contact. My panini was good and I had no issues afterwards.

Server washed hands and changed gloves. GF paninis are wrapped entirely in foil before going on the shared panini press. I didn't see any info on gluten in panini fillings. But I got the Caprese, so I didn't ask many questions about the fillings. The Caprese tested GF on my Nima. My husband loved his GF Italian Cold Cut panini. GF paninis are on the small side, so bigger appetites may still be a bit hungry after eating. All in all, a really pleasant surprise and we're grateful to previous reviewers for pointing us to Hot Table!
