I’ve eaten here three times now. This is a wonderful place on the north west side of town. I had the club sandwich last time with potato salad. Also had a gluten free coffee cake. It has tasted great all three times. My son also has celiac and loved it. Totally safe. My only warning is if you want a meal beware the kitchen closes one hour prior to closing. If not you’ll just get baked goods.

Really unorganized. Kitchen closes VERY promptly at 4. Wished we knew ahead of time so we didn’t search them out and drive forever. We were from out of state.

My son and I both had GF breakfast burritos and they were delicious, but on the bland side. It was my son's first burrito. He ate his and 1/2 of mine. We also bought a slice of GF carrot cake, GF chocolate cake pop and the GF sampler. All the baked goods were incredible.

They have dedicated Oreo and cooking areas for GF. Even keep GF treats in a separate cooler.

I had the GF tortilla soup. It was delicious. Not too spicy with a scoop of sour cream and fresh avocado.

I have celiacs and I have been a customer here for almost 3 years. I have recommended this place to many GF groups and I have never heard anything bad about them. The lady who left a review before this review, (Kimberly Cunningham) is very much mistaken. We have seen the bakery use gloves and change them often. I clicked on Kimberly's name and has left MANY REVIEWS - ALL OF THEM ARE ONE STAR REVIEWS. Sounds to me like she is one of those people who just finds fault everywhere. I hope this website will remove her review. It does not belong here! And by the way, the gluten free donuts are the best in town. Read ALL the OTHER reviews which are ALL 5 Stars! and go to My Gal Sal and you wont be dissapointed..

Felt very welcomed when I walked in. Felt like they knew me or I was going to a friend's place.They have a case that displays GF, Vegan, Keto. Paleo, etc (all I can remember off the top of my head). Had a GF burrito. OMG best GF Tortilla in Arizona (believe me I have been looking) and the burrito was made to order so it was fresh. Their salsa was yum. They are very accomodating and very nice people. Love that if there is one person with a GF allergy in your group that everyone can come eat here. I will be back. #ThankYouforBeingHere

Excellent lunch find! Gluten free sandwiches, burgers, quesadillas, bbq, paninis, and breakfast foods. Wide variety of gf options. They have a dedicated fryer/pots/pans/cooking area. They have a gluten free version of every dessert you could imagine. The GF fries were some of the best I’ve ever had! Ask for extra crispy fries!

This place is amazing! Upon entering you are greeted with all the amazing deserts you CAN have! And it’s great for groups with multiple diets. I ordered a house burger with fries and the GF bun was good. I also took home a GF desert sampler and loved everything. My boyfriend (no diet restrictions) said he had one of the best burritos in his life: pulled pork burrito (not GF)! The service was also top notch! I’m hoping to make this place my Saturday brunch place.

We are SO glad we stopped! Fabulous gf lunch. My husband enjoyed the tangy BBQ pulled pork sandwich on gf bun with a side of potato salad. I enjoyed their house salad with warm grilled chicken, feta, tomatoes and candied walnuts. Their gf carrot cake was moist and amazing! A delicious, fudgy gf brownie cake pop was complementary with each of our lunches. We bought a half dozen bake-at-home cinnamon rolls that we will freeze and bake on the weekend. No wonder they've won so many awards. Service was friendly and kind; the small, fun eating area as pleasant. Separate oven and prep areas for gf items. We will return ANY time we visit the Phoenix / Glendale areas.

5 Stars aren’t enough! My family is always on the search for great restaurants that support dietary restrictions as my oldest daughter and I are gluten free and dairy free. This restaurant is by far one of the BEST yet. They offer so many delicious options that are made in house with tons of love and attention to all the important details that matter with having Celiac Disease. Sal took the time to talk to us and even gave us tourist tips as we were visiting AZ for spring break. We visited twice in one week and would of gone everyday had we spent the entire week in the city. Thank YOU so much My Gal, Sal. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Phoenix!

My family loves it too as they can get get regular bakery and other items while I eat gluten free. She has vegan, Keri and sugar free too. I have a really hard time deciding f what to have.

Very gf knowledgeable. They serve gf and regular food. Separate case for regular food and gf

Had a cheeseburger on a gf bun which was ok. A cookie dough cake pop- not my favorite flavor but the only flavor they had left in gf. It came free with a lunch. I bought a vanilla cupcake which was good, a blueberry muffin which I have not tried yet. Everything else I wanted to try was sold out. I’m going to go back next week but I’ll call first to make sure what I want is there! Small restaurant with 4 tables. It is worth going there if you are close enough. People did not stop coming in and out either to sit down for lunch or to pick up breads or muffins or pastries. Very busy! I saw one oven with a big sign on it that said Gluten Free Oven. The owner is allergic to soy so none is used in the store. Yea for me!!!

This is the best bakery in Phx. We used to go to Jewels Bakery till we saw them on tv on the dirty dining report on TV. Shocked at their violations by the Health Department.

My wife and I came in today to try the lunch or breakfast options and were blown away to find a Gluten Free Breakfast Burrito! I’ve tried ALL the gluten free tortilla options that any place or brand offers but Sal’s homemade GF Tortillas are hands down THE BEST. The texture is perfect, they are soft and don’t fall apart like so many do. The burrito was nice and big! Sal is so amazingly nice and welcoming, the hospitality is bar none. We only eat gluten free, but I can only imagine how great the non-GF food is. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
