Been here several times, staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Never got sick. Definitely recommend for celiacs.
Super knowledgeable and friendly. Immediately knew how to treat celiac/allergies. They pulled out all the stops for cross contamination — changed gloves, kept everything separate, etc. Everything can be made gluten free except for fried/breaded options, and the GF bun didn’t cost extra! Definitely coming back.
Finally, a place for Celiacs to go if they want a delicious sub sandwich. The staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and even substituted the provolone cheese for dairy free/vegan. I had sandwich #118 / Tony Soprano. I hadn’t had a sub sandwich in years and was impressed at how delicious it was, even with the modifications. If you want just a simple lunch then this place is for you. Plus, you get a lollipop, vegan is offered as well, with every purchase.

Wanted to check this place out. So my taste buds say: If you feel like having sandwiches for lunch/dinner, well this is the place.Finally a sandwich shop w/gluten free bread!!!I ordered the #65 Turkey avocado w/red pesto. Delish!! They also have veggie/vegan sandwhiches too, for the vegan peeps. Great sandwich shop. I'll be coming back for sure. Sorry to the other sandwich shops, no gluten free bread.
While no GF menu, there is GF bread, and cashier was knowledgeable about GF options. They change gloves, knives, etc for GF orders. So excited Ike's is now in Tustin!

I love Ike’s! They have great gluten free bread, know the gluten allergy, and take special care to accommodate it including separate knives for cutting sandwiches and glove changes. I always tip them extra for this because they really do care by taking the extra steps. I have never gotten sick here and have been at least three times.
i really liked they have separate gf area to prepare. Taste was okay cannot complain
We love this place so much it is a routine part of our annual ski trip. Sandwiches are so good and the bread legitimately made me doubt it was really GF. (It is.)
I think they changed their GF bread and it’s WAY better. The other one looked really good but the taste was super bland and the texture was too tough. The last sandwich I had, both taste and texture were way better (very soft) and it definitely looked different. They’ve got a separate prep station for allergy orders, you can even indicate allergy easily through mobile order on their app. They send the sandwich through the same roller oven, but place it on an aluminum foil boat for allergy orders. Great sandwiches!
Incredible! The staff here is amazing and took care of us on multiple days of our vacation. Washed down the prep station, knew the allergy protocol. Had a list of ingredients and you do have to look them up. All of the sandwich’s came with dirty sauce which show GF but we left off to be careful. The buns are incredible. Anything through the toaster is on foil and safe. Thank you! For an amazing experience!
