Review of Sally's Gluten Free Bakery

I’ve been to Sally’s bakery many times and their food is always very good and very well-made. However, something happened this morning that gives me pause about buying from them. I want to share my experience here because I know how much this app helps me and all of us who are gluten free find safe places to eat.

This morning I pulled up 10 minutes before the shop opened and watched the employee pull in eat a few Chick-fil-A nuggets in her car. I wasn’t concerned with that because it is her car and her right to do and as long as she washes her hands I’m not concerned about it.

What did concern me is when she took the bag of Chick-fil-A brought it INSIDE the bakery, put the bag of food on the counter and then proceeded to unload all the bins of baked goods and samples into the bakery without washing hands. I don’t know if she washed before setting up the samples. For a celiac this is troubling.

I called the main location in Sandy Springs and talked with the son of the owner and he told me that this employee is new and they will make sure to emphasize to her that the building is 100% gluten-free.

I understand that mistakes happen but there are very few places as celiacs that my daughter and I can feel safe eating at and 100% gluten-free bakery should be one of those places. I’m going to take a few weeks off from Sally’s and then I’ll stop by again and see how I feel.

I believe the owners truly care about their business and work hard to make sure the products they produce are gluten free. What happens in the Alpharetta store where there may not be as much oversight is what concerns me.
