What do you expect from a place that makes its own bread?
Definitely NOT Celiac Friendly. I ordered a plain salad and they served me a completely different salad with dressing on it, and bread on the side. The wait staff had absolutely no idea how to handle customers with food allergies. They do not change thier gloves so there will be cross-contamination.
No
Panera is not celiac friendly. I have even gotten sick from salad with no dressing, likely due to cross contamination.
No
The website offers advice on how to eat gluten-friendly at their restaurant but it is inaccurate. Luckily, a server checked the ingredients for their turkey chili (which they claimed was gluten free) and found out that it has wheat in it! Staff did not seem well trained on the allergy or what substitutions to make. Really unfortunate.
No
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.
