EXCELLENT and so easy to eat here! All staff is trained to be careful when I mention a gluten allergy (I have celiac and am EXTREMELY sensitive). I have ordered online many times with no issues:)

Highly recommend for anyone wanting a tasty gluten-free sandwich!

Very careful staff, prepare GF sandwiches in a completely separate area to ensure no CC. Lots of GF options with pre-made salads and desserts too!

Delicious food! This is a really cute part store/part restaurant and it's great! Delicious sandwiches and potato salad and all kinds of specialty sodas you can buy to go along with your meal. Lovely!

We have gone here countless times to get GF sandwiches and snacks. They have a separate prep area for the GF sandwiches. Although the wait can be long during the lunch rush (call and order for pick-up to avoid the wait), the GF food is yummy and my daughter has never had any reaction.

Had a gluten free sandwich and it was probably the best gluten free bread I’ve had thus far. They also asked if I needed it made on a different surface. Both me and my celiac coworkers had no issues. They also note on the menu if a dressing or other item has gluten in it. Great experience.

Had a great experience. Ordered on the app, had the Cobb salad and took off what wasn’t GF. Had the Brunswick stew, which was delicious! Did not feel sick afterwards!

I’ve gotten gluten free sandwiches a few times and they’re really good. I’m celiac and never reacted.

Just had a GF sandwich at TASTE in Town Center yesterday and it was AMAZING. I need to figure out where they source their bread or if they make it in house. It was an actual sandwich size, like a beautiful rustic round loaf size, and it was so soft and actually held together. I was shocked that it was GF but I know for a fact it was because when the worker handed me my sandwich he said it was and the sandwich was marked GF on the order sticker.

If you aren't in the mood for a sandwich they also offer salads but I haven't tried those yet!

Limited options but those that are offered are great! Particularly like the Caesar salad (modified to be GF — no croutons with a side of GF bread). Managers are knowledgeable of celiac. Hit or miss with those working at registers. Ask for a manger when in doubt! They do have a separate prep area, FYI.
