cashier was very helpful and made sure the ingredients on my salad were all acceptable. she even said she would put a comment on my panera card that I had a gluten allergy. great that a bread restaurant is so accommodating when some steak restaurants won't even try!!

Great restraunt with several gluten free options. Yes, it's kind of ironic going to panera BREAD and getting something gluten free, but here is a menu https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/articles/avoiding-gluten.html

A safe option would be their mango smoothie and green goddess chicken Cobb salad. Both are very good. They don't have many gluten free options and I'm not sure how safe they are about cross contamination.

Not completely gluten free, but when I told the woman “gluten allergy” she said the salads and a soup do not have gluten ingredients. She said they change gloves/use clean utensils and called it back as a “sideline.” I was eating in but they packaged it in a plastic to go with a lid to keep it separate.

Terrible the lady at the register wouldnt even look into gluten free. She said we don't do that here. Like I was trying to get anything GF and she wouldn't even bother helping me or asking. But would help the next lady with her food allergy

I ordered the green goddess salad which is gluten free. But got sick after eating. I think it's a bit or miss thing due to cross contamination. But I won't eat there again.
