Celiac

Sensitive celiac here. I eat and order sandwiches from here all the time. Never gotten sick. You do have to specify “wheat allergy” not “gluten free as a preference.” If you do so they’ll put your GF bread through a separate GF toaster and take other precautions.

I’ve eaten here and gotten to-go at this location a bunch of times over the years with no issues.

My favorites are:

Modern Cesar Salad with chicken Avocado Quinoa Salad Prosciutto and Chicken Sandwich (with no almonds) on GF bread And they have great seasonal GF options as well!

When ordering tell them to note it down as a wheat allergy. They don’t have a gluten allergy button in their system but they will treat the wheat allergy as a gluten allergy.

This spot gets extremely busy during weekday lunch hours, with a rush of corporate folks coming in. To avoid the crowd, it's a good idea to order ahead or plan your visit accordingly.

Yes! The cashier allowed me to specify how I would need the salad to be made (glove change, not proximal to breads) and then went to the kitchen right after we placed our order to explain. I got the summer peach salad with chicken and goat cheese with lemonade. Truly a fantastic meal!

If you order at the location they have a binder of all the allergens and the person working was able to go through all my concerns with me so I could order. Side note: it’s not listed on their menu but if you ask they have an additional menu for custom build bowls so you can pick exactly what goes on and in your food

Excellent sandwich and service. Explained I had a gluten allergy and the kitchen made sure to prepare on clean surfaces and such. Turkey sandwich was delicious- best I have had since being diagnosed in 2020. Will be back.

They toast your bread separately and change gloves if you mark “wheat allergy” on your order :) They understand what GF means!

Farm club sandwich is a fav!

The person I ordered with knew what Celiac was, and I saw him notify the person making my food, plus it was noted on my receipt. Watched the person making my sandwich clean the prep area in advance. Food was good too!

The staff was accommodating with answering questions about ingredients for multiple food allergies, and they said they can mark gluten-free orders as an allergy and use separate gloves, knives, etc. I got the impossible burger on gluten-free bread (no gf bun). The bread was your standard gf packaged bread, but the burger was good and I didn’t have a reaction.

I asked about the flourless chocolate cookie, and the person working at the counter said that while it doesn’t have gluten ingredients, it’s processed with the other ones and therefore not safe. Overall, I appreciated how knowledgeable and honest they were.

My son was recently diagnosed with celiac and we ordered the turkey club with gluten-free bread. Everything is clearly marked gluten-free and when you order, they put it as an allergy.

Ive eaten here a couple times and while it’s on the pricey side for a sandwich, the flavor is great and the bread far better than most chains do.

Be sure to specify GF for an allergy / celiac so they prep separately. Order may take a bit longer to show but that’s a good thing

First time in LA and around the grove. Came here with my friends and it was SO GOOD! They have a separate toaster for the gluten free bread and change gloves for an allergy. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, I would definitely come back here if I come back to LA!! I got the Farm Club sandwhich and it was TO DIE FOR! SO DELICIOUS

My child had the grilled cheese on gluten free bread and said it was the best gluten free bread she has had and tasted so good!

The staff was great marking a gluten allergy with our order to help alert the rest of the team to take precautions. It was a great experience
