Review of Ike’s Love and Sandwiches

my one-hour-after report: some bloating, no pain. I would guess there was some cross contamination, less than 30ppm. Enough for extremely mild symptoms. I would not consider this a glutening. Or perhaps just a mild glutening.

I was very impressed with Ike's. When I ordered, I told them I had a gluten allergy and they prepped my food separately on an identifying tray, which was great. They also used new gloves and ingredients from separate bins. All of the vegan meats are gluten, so I subbed vegan Turkey for regular on the Pilgrim, and had the turmeric cardamom peach lemon lemonade which was really nice! A very Bay Area experience for sure. They also gave me a TON of napkins with my order which i very appreciated. They are large napkins for a restaurant.

Parking is street and it's paid.

The vibe of Ike's is good-- mostly tall chairs but three low tables, so my service dog and I took a low one. They played an eclectic collection of music (Queen back to back with Snoop Dogg).

It's a very open space with floor to ceiling windows.

The employees are friendly and accommodating. My total order was $21 which is a bit steep for a sandwich and drink, but hey it's gluten free right?

The bathroom is a working bathroom. The appearance and features are abysmal. The floor was not dirty but it wasn't clean either. No hook on the door, no surface to put anything down on, and the trash was overflowing. It smelled fine. The code is 1194.
