I came here with my dad. They are extremely friendly. The establishment is clean. The value is incredible for the quality and taste of the food!! The gf bread isn't sad like most places serve... it's great bread!!! We aren't from Iowa, but this was an amazing experience. I got the farmer's daughter without cheese... terrific!!

Amazing sandwich and great service. The panini press was covered in tinfoil and the handle to try to prevent cross contamination. The person making my sandwich changes her gloves twice. I wish I was local!!!!!!

A delicious sandwich. They were super responsive when I said I had celiac disease - using different prep materials, a different prep space, and a change of gloves. A great little spot!

All of the melts can be made with gluten free bread. When I asked for GF they asked if it was for an allergy. They took special precautions, changed gloves, wiped down my tray and sauce container. Amazing experience!!

This place was great. They have gf bread and seem knowledgeable. Not only was the gf sandwich good but I could customize it. I could hear how careful she was being with making my sandwich. She changed her gloves had her co-worker work on other sandwiches so she would avoid cross contamination. I highly recommend this sandwich shop.

Excellent experience. I told them that I am celiac, and all 4 people behind the counter knew what to do and started changing gloves etc. They appear to have very good protocols for dealing with celiac's and they were very hospitable in the process.

All the sandwiches can be made GF and they made sure to ask if it was allergy or preference. The bread held together and was great.

Stoped here on the way to Coralville Iowa from Racine Wisconsin and its one of best choices I ever made. Seriously some of thee best Gluten-free Sandwiches I've ever had! Went Halfvies with my mother so we could try more then one type of Sandwich. First sandwich was the Hula Girl with a side of Garlic Aioli. Absolutely delicious both with and without the Aioli a bit messy but some of best foods are in my opinion. Second was a special they were running that was Ham, Cheddar Cheese, Bacon and Blueberry jam. I could eat that special ever day for a month and still love it! The flavor profile is just something I never ever would have thought of to try and just honestly the best thing I've ate in years! Really contemplating stopping on the way back to Wisconsin for another dose. Thank you so much to the owner and staff for starting our vacation off right ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ˜โค

Amazing sandwich! I asked about their GF prep and they asked if I had an allergy/celiac. When I told them it was allergy, they were very careful, changed gloves multiple times, covered everything with foil, and brought out a clean knife. If he touched anything that had been in contact with gluten (like the regular prep area, he changed his gloves). The staff was friendly and upbeat and the sandwich was yummy. Best of all, no upset tummy!

I was passing through town for two days and came here both days—all sandwiches can be made with gf bread and the two I had were both delicious! They changed gloves, covered the panini presses with foil, and had separate knives and cutting boards to make my gf sandwiches. Absolutely will return here again! Plus, it’s very queer friendly!

First called and spoke to Noah. He re affirmed they could make my sandwich gluten free. They also have dine in. We drove to the location. Our Party had two non celiac and myself ( celiac) they made my sandwich and as reviews stated changed gloves and precautions taken. I had the hula girl, the others had the Farmers daughter and Mama Mia.. we each thought our sandwich Was very tasty. Noah was the one who made my sandwich and reassured me he had taken appropriate precautions. I always wait a day before writing reviews. No symptoms from my meal.

Almost any sandwich can be GF. They put aluminum foil on the sandwich grill before doing a GF sandwich and will wipe surfaces and change gloves as well. I got the Havana Hellcat, my first Cuban in YEARS and it did not disappoint. The pulled pork on it was so tender. If you are traveling in town this is a must try. They also have Mac n cheeses that looked great for non-celiac friends.
