Pickles & Swiss

Awful experience not a single gluten free option. And even if there were it was covered in regular bread crumbs on the counter. So confused why this is number 1 ranked for gf. Super lame.

Amazing sandwich! Great knowledge of gluten free & dairy free options for me & it was so delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I did not get sick but the sandwich was small (typical small slices of gf bread) and little to no meat. The regular sandwich had double the meat as the gf sandwich. The bread was not great either I would assume they changed the bread from the pictures posted from earlier dates it was just a piece of white bread. I was still hungry after:(

The manager was so knowledgeable and helpful! He even gave me an ingredients list of the bread and then they made my sandwich on a different tray. He also told me the concern of the veggies possibly having cross contamination!

They take extra care on GF orders and even maintain a seperate toaster. (If you're skin-on contact sensitive, wipe down a table first.)

We love Pickles and Swiss, have been coming here since the Goleta store opened and to the Paseo Nuevo prior to that. They ask when you are ordering gluten free if it is an allergy, and if so they change their gloves and use the proper precautions. Have never gotten sick from there.

Pretty small sandwich and didn’t even get a pickle :( I feel like they were careful about gluten free though

Celiac friendly?

The staff were very knowledgeable about Gluten Free. Make their own yummy bread and very careful doth cross contamination. Best sandwiches, great price and no reaction. Would highly recommend!

All deli meats and cheeses are Boars Head, so they’re naturally GF. Great GF bread- had a fantastic sandwich!! Super friendly staff. Loved it!!!

Celiac friendly?

My celiac daughter loves the ham and cheese sandwiches here toasted on their gluten free bread. They are very conscious about cross contamination and change their gloves and use a separate surface to prepare the gluten free sandwiches.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

delicious! they prepare the gluten free sandwiches in a dedicated area. highly reccomend:)

LOVED our sandwiches -- even my super picky teen was talking about hers days later! Staff was super nice too!

The food was really good but the guy taking my order didn't know anything. I had to speak to someone (maybe the manager?) who actually knew what I was talking about and did a really good job. He separated everything and made sure there was no cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten Free sandwich was awesome didn't get it toasted (it was warmed a little) but was really yummy and nice to have more of a fresh bread feel.

Had delicious sandwich on gluten free bread. they asked if I was celiac or if it was a preference, which tells me they understand and will go to greater means to avoid cross contamination.

The GF bread (their own recipe) is delicious and they take great caution to prevent cross contamination. Great place, delicious food and safe for Celiacs.

The most celiac aware sandwich shop I've ever been in! Seriously the best gf bread ever!! The owner was incredibly kind too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF sandwich tastes great. 5 stars because I did not get sick. The only negative is that I had to buy two sandwiches to fill up, which is a little pricey for lunch for a hungry dude.

Very tasty Sandwich gluten free. Staff very friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Every person that works there is super helpful and very well informed about celiac disease and how to keep cross contamination from happening. It's one of the only places in Santa Barbara this experienced with gluten free that isn't a dedicated facility. The sandwiches are very good and staff very friendly.

Celiac friendly?

The honey gobble was the best sandwich I've ever had since being diagnosed celiac 4 years ago. They told me they were preparing it separately so there will be a slightly longer wait which I didn't mind at all, it was reassuring if anything. You can buy the bread in loaves too if you like it, all home made!

This place was amazing! The service and the attention to cc was incredible. They were very friendly and listed off the few items on the menu I couldn't eat and then offered up some of their own recommendations on great sandwiches. I would absolutely go back!

Found this restaurant on this site. Called ahead to confirm their reviews and the adherence to safety regarding cross contamination. Very friendly, put me at ease with their steps to avoid cc. When we arrived explained how they set up to ensure safety. Their bread is amazing!! They make their own and sell it by the loaf too. Sandwiches were unreal! Most items except for three or four are all safe to eat. Everything made fresh to order. Great stop! Both gluten free and non gf eaters very satisfied with their order!

Best sandwich shop in SB! Absolutely delicious! Staff is friendly and helpful. Amazing gluten free bread! Love being able to have delicious gf deli sandwiches! Always make a point of stopping by here whenever I'm in town. :-)

Amazing sandwiches, pickles and roasted tomatoe soup. Daughter has celiac so it was nice to find an entry that made our entire family happy. Their GF bread was ABSOLTELY the best sandwich bread we have tried this far. Highly recommended!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing service. Though there are gluten-ness options, they have a separate prepping station for all gluten free goodies and are very knowledgable about celiac and its limitations. Plus, they have their own specialty gf bread that blew my mind. Above all, they cared and I felt safer knowing that they cared about me as a human.

Celiac friendly?

Best gluten free bread we've ever had,very soft texture !! The place is very clean and tastefully decorated. The omelets are amazing!! It's So hard to travel and eat with celiacs so this was a great find

Separate prep area and condiments for gluten-free. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about GF needs. Sandwiches are fresh and tasty. I ate here twice for lunch on a trip in July.

Celiac friendly?

I've eaten here so many times because their food is so good and I've never been sick. Because I'm highly sensitive to ANY cross-contamination, I know they take great care with GF preparation. They're super friendly, to boot!

Yes

So helpful and such great food!

This place is wonderful. The owner is always so sweet. I've eaten here a ton and never gotten sick, and it's all so tasty!

Don't always have gluten free, went there and said they have the gluten free delivery in three days, then suggested I have their breaded chicken. Can't count on it.

Excellent!! Got to have a GF tuna melt - so good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very gluten-free friendly. They take precautions to limit cross contamination like changing gloves and using different pans to heat the sandwiches. The guys said you can even buy loaves of their GF bread if you let them know in advance.

Celiac friendly?

We loved it! Great tasting bread and sandwiches and very nice and knowledgeable staff. I have additional allergies and they got on the phone to check the ingredients of the gf bread with the local bakery they get it from. We would absolutely go back.
