Mendocino Farms

Got a steak & bacon sandwich - all the GF food is marked on the menu. Really tasty, super flavorful. Also got the lentil soup - really nice! Felt no discomfort after.

Very accommodating for gluten free diners! Many gluten free options and menu items that’s can be made gluten free. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich, with gluten free bread. It was delicious, I took a glutenese, but did not get sick at all. My sandwich came labeled as gluten free with a red tamper sticker to ensure my food was safe. Would highly recommend!

Really good food. GF items are marked and the GF bread was good. When you order online, they ask you if it is an allergy or a preference so that leads me to believe they will take extra precaution. Did not get sick.

Their salads are quite good (and actually interesting compared to most sandwich places) and they take special note when I say I have a gluten allergy/celiac. Have eaten here a handful of times, never been sick.

Maybe not celiac friendly, as they told me there could be some cross contamination. But for my wheat allergy, I don't notice this sort of thing. Very tasty GF sandwich and salad. I also sampled a GF chicken tortilla soup, which I hope to try another time. Friendly people too.

Celiac friendly?

No

Best sandwiches i ever had!! And All option for Gluten Free :)!!!

Superb sandwiches with a gluten free bread option. The many ingredients that are gluten free are marked as such. Mention that you have the allergy and someone will prepare it with new gloves, etc. to avoid cross contamination - never had a problem with that so far. Sometimes the gluten free sandwiches take a little longer - just call ahead and pick it up.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m always skeptical about getting a sandwich, but the staff here are amazing. They take pride in being trained to have safe practices and made me feel confident that my sandwich would be safe for me to eat. Had the half club with the kale and apple salad and it was delicious. My mother in law was jealous that my sandwich looked better than her regular club. Will be going back to try more menu items very soon. Well done Mendocino Farms!

They have gluten-free options marked on the menu. Good service. You have to be wily as it appears there may be issues with cross-contamination. I got a salad but I think I should have asked for no nuts in the salad. I was slightly glutenated. (Sometimes places get nuts in bulk that have been processed with wheat and I wonder if that's how I got some gluten.)

Had the gluten free chicken pesto sandwich. So good! They did ask if it was an allergy. I ordered online so I did not see the prep area. Was a delicious sandwich and I did not get sick.

Cannot recommended this place enough! Went here twice in the 2 days I was in San Jose. 3 of the people I was with (including myself) have celiac and are very sensitive to cross contamination, none of us got sick and the sandwiches were delicious. The farm club and the chimmichuri steak and bacon were hands down our favorites but the chicken pesto caprese and prosciutto &chicken were also delicious. The staff was knowledgeable and marked the order as an allergy. The gf bread was a seeded bread and a normal size! I wish they had these in MA I would go all the time. They also had reasonably priced wine on tap that was great!

They have the option for gluten free bread as well as salads. They only have one side that is gluten free. When ordering gf they ask is a preference or an allergy which is super nice
