I’ve eaten at this location a couple of times with generally good results, however there was an error and I ended up eating half of a standard sandwich when I had ordered gluten free (I blame myself as well for not recognizing it until a couple bites in). Food is very good and they’re generally careful and caring of people’s restrictions.
Good option for a safe quick breakfast. Checked if I had an allergy/celiac and then didn’t toast the gf bread.
Great place for breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, healthy eats and drinks. Gluten free breads and good allergy safety!

I’m a big fan of The Works. I live in town and eat here fairly regularly. GF bread is good, and they make an effort to ensure if you get a panini that it’s pressed in the paper to protect it. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great place for breakfast and lunch!
Always a good experience. They have a separate prep area for gf and staff is knowledgeable.
Gluten free muffins packaged and displayed separately from the other muffins. Also many juices, house-made smoothies and gluten free bread. Locally sourced ingredients too. The GF blueberry muffin was delicious!
Easy quick didn’t get sick, but the GF bread was meh as were the eggs. Setting is pretty drab too.
Food is delicious! They have gluten free bread available to make any of their sandwiches/meals, and muffins as well. They specify that the muffins are gluten sensitive as they cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination while baking, though the batter is completely gluten free. Not good for celiacs, but should be fine for others. Best muffins I've had in the 5-6 years I've been gluten free! Would highly recommend stopping in if you re near. They also have a large selection of delicious smoothies.
The best gluten free breakfast sandwich I've ever had! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. They have gluten free bread and muffin options along with salads, soups and smoothies!

A regular here! I’ve never had an issue with coffee, smoothies or sandwiches on GF bread. They always use a piece of parchment paper to protect from contamination, change gloves, and won’t cut your sandwich if you’re sensitive to contamination. It is still in a shared space and I don’t believe they pull fresh ingredients if that concerns you, but I’m very sensitive and have never had an issue.
Cross contact appears rampant. They put their bread crumbs and croutons on the counter over and behind the quinoa bowl section which is supposed to be gluten free. After seeing them scoop bread crumbs and carry the scoop over the supposed gluten free ingredients onto Mac and cheese, we were too spooked to order.
This is a bagel shop, but they have a GF bread option. They didn’t ask about a separate toaster RE cross contamination. One of the main lunch features is the GF quinoa bowl.
Happy they had delicious multigrain GF bread with all dishes. Wonderful smoked salmon with smear! Also had GF bowls.
gluten free bread is good, they have an entire quinoa bowl section that is gluten free
