Panera

we ordered their turkey chili and a salad which both said was on thier gluten free list at the time both me and my husband became very ill afterwards we both had the same thing and both of us have gluten sensitivity.

I loved the manager's honesty when I asked about gluten-free food. He said, "Are you kidding? This place is a bakery. Our air probably isn't even gluten-free." Panera Bread seems pretty clueless about where their market is going and what to do about it.

I love their apple salad, but do get sick on them. Amazed that after going wheat-free, I can drink coffee all day without being tempted by the pastries.

Celiac friendly?

No

Panera has a very limited “gluten conscious” menu online that includes a couple salads and smoothies. The menu shows ingredient list. When we arrived they were not very busy so I felt comfortable asking if they use their blender for anything other than the smoothies. They also make their coffees in them…which include the syrups (not sure if they are GF). They were very accommodating and went and got a clean/new blender from the back, showed me it was new, and used that for our smoothies. Also got a couple salads and apples. No symptoms afterward.
