I have gone to various Ike’s locations for years, and I am a sensitive Celiac. I have yet to get sick. They take extra precautions, so your food will take 15 extra minutes on top of a normal sandwich time. I recommend ordering in advance through the app or online. Also, the bread is incredibly dry, so order extra sauce on the bread. I normally order Italian dressing and ask it to be put on both sides of the bread before the toppings. It is a $3 upcharge for gluten free and then extra for the sauce, so know your sandwich will be pricey. So. Delicious. And. Worth it.

This is the best sandwich shop ever! While offering gluten free options for celiac, they also offer regular food. Staff is nice and organized. Food takes a little too long to prepare. But delicious. Definitely recommend.

Catered to my celiac properly. went and washed her hands and changed her gloves. Got the Matt Cain extra dirty with a rice crispy treat. With no reaction! Bread fell apart but that’s to be expected. Lots of options to choose from!

I’ve eaten here a couple times now without issues. I’m impressed that online ordering via their website clearly shows gluten free both allergy and preference designations. The chicken Caesar sandwich was okay, the Paul Reuben blew me away.

my one-hour-after report: some bloating, no pain. I would guess there was some cross contamination, less than 30ppm. Enough for extremely mild symptoms. I would not consider this a glutening. Or perhaps just a mild glutening.

I was very impressed with Ike's. When I ordered, I told them I had a gluten allergy and they prepped my food separately on an identifying tray, which was great. They also used new gloves and ingredients from separate bins. All of the vegan meats are gluten, so I subbed vegan Turkey for regular on the Pilgrim, and had the turmeric cardamom peach lemon lemonade which was really nice! A very Bay Area experience for sure. They also gave me a TON of napkins with my order which i very appreciated. They are large napkins for a restaurant.

Parking is street and it's paid.

The vibe of Ike's is good-- mostly tall chairs but three low tables, so my service dog and I took a low one. They played an eclectic collection of music (Queen back to back with Snoop Dogg).

It's a very open space with floor to ceiling windows.

The employees are friendly and accommodating. My total order was $21 which is a bit steep for a sandwich and drink, but hey it's gluten free right?

The bathroom is a working bathroom. The appearance and features are abysmal. The floor was not dirty but it wasn't clean either. No hook on the door, no surface to put anything down on, and the trash was overflowing. It smelled fine. The code is 1194.

I love the gluten free bread they use for their sandwiches. However, I am gluten intolerant, not Celiac. If you’re worried about cross contamination, this probably wouldn’t be the best place for you.

For years I loved going to Ike’s in Santa Rosa. They took extra precautions like having a separate prep area, to avoid gluten cross-contamination.

After relocating to Boise a few years ago, I missed Ike’s big-time. On a road trip back to California for a wedding, I planned a stop at Ike’s in Reno. I counted down the days.

The actual experience was my worst restaurant experience I can recall since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I got glutened so bad it took 2 weeks to recover. In hindsight, my wife recalls that they made the sandwich on the same prep surface, was put on the same toaster moving belt, and cut in half with the same knife as all the regular sandwiches.

I miss Ike’s, but can’t risk that again. Maybe Santa Rosa & other locations are more careful and/or educated.

The first time I ate here it was fantastic. The sandwich was good, and I didn’t get sick afterwards.

The second time I ate here I unwrapped my sandwich to find weirdly normal looking bread. I tested it in a Nima and it wasn’t gluten free. The staff was unapologetic and didn’t seem to care about allergies/celiac whatsoever. I recommend the sandwiches as long as you have a Nima and watch them like hawks while they make it.

The cashier was super helpful, and understood celiac (he said a family member of his has celiac). He let the sandwich makers know so they would change their gloves and make our sandwiches carefully. The bread was warm, soft and delicious, and no GI upset. The sandwich was delicious as well. Highly recommend!

I was really impressed that they had gluten free bread on the menu and specifically asked me if it was a preference or allergy. When I responded with allergy he appeared to take it very seriously and used new gloves and kept the sandwich on foil during the creation to avoid cross contamination.

Edit: The morning after, I think there may have been cross contamination because something is not sitting well.

This sandwich chain has some of the best gluten free bread I’ve had in a long time. I usually get my sandwiches delivered, and the gluten free bread holds up even with a 30+ minute transport time. Additionally, there are plenty of gf options for sandwich filling (I’m particularly a fan of the reading rainbow).

Make sure you let the employees know that your gf needs are based on “allergies” and not preference. The few times I’ve went to the Maryland Parkway location they’ve even gone so far to tell me that the tomatoes were cut with the same knives used to cut the bread, so they are very aware and informed about cross contamination. (However, they still have gluten products in the store, so please use your discretion!)

I was very surprised to find this place was not on this app. It was a great experience with great food as well. Most times I find sandwich places are not gluten free just because of the bread options, however when you do have gluten free bread options it makes almost the whole restaurant gluten free. They have a delicious gluten free bread and normal bread as well. They have a dedicated area in the back where they prepare all things gluten free as well as having your food on a tinfoil the entire time. The food was amazing and they have many options for sandwiches just make sure to confirm what’s gluten free and what’s not. All food is fresh.

Great staff and very accommodating to my gluten allergy. The sandwich I got (John Wayne I believe was what it was called) was tasty and had a nice gluten free bun. It didn’t blow me away but definitely fit the bill on my sandwich craving. My only concern was that it it was a long wait time and the shop was not busy. There were only two people working (all of which were nice).

Very disappointed after making a special trip on our vacation. The woman at the front said “Only the Turkey and ham is GF. This is not a make your-own-sandwich shop.” When I asked which sandwiches were gluten free, I was handed a large book of ingredients. We asked for a simple Turkey, pesto and cheese. (One of “their”sandwiches). We were told the pesto has gluten (which I’ve never heard of as gluten is not an ingredient in pesto). So, she had plain Turkey and cheese. And they were NOT friendly nor were they happy to accommodate. :(

Ordered one of their veggie subs on gf bread. I asked the woman at the counter if they prepared it in a different area and she told me they did take precautions. She asked if it was an allergy or a preference and checked for me to make sure the artichokes were gluten free.

But! I think I got very minorly glutened because I had an inexplicable low key stomach ache for the rest of the evening. Luckily it didn't ruin my night but I did have to lay down for a bit and take some Tums.

Ultimately despite seeming promising, I wouldn't recommend it for Celiacs. :( Plus, the sandwich wasn't even that good.

UPDATE. Read below for follow-up: Celiacs, DO NOT EAT HERE.

Old review (2020): I follow a celiac diet (although not celiac myself) and am sensitive to certain ingredients so it was important to find somewhere that could accommodate allergies. Ike has an amazing menu of items that caters to meat eaters, vegans, and gluten sensitive people alike. They literally have an option called "allergy" to add to the order so that they can accommodate the order as such. I had the Matt Cain with a gluten free bun and no sauce (can't take a risk). I thought for sure it was going to be a dry unremarkable sandwich but was pleasantly surprised to find it tasty, warm, and fresh. The beef created it's own juice which made it delicious and easier to eat. I loved the bun. Made very well and almost like the real yeasty thing. The only thing I found negative was that they had no salt and pepper. That was odd. But regardless, I still had a good sandwich. I commend the team here for careful food handling cause I had no skin reactions and typically celiac/gluten sensitive people are paranoid even eating at places like this because of cross contamination.

New review (2022): Today when I looked up the nutrition/allergen info on the website, almost the entire menu is contaminated with wheat and gluten! Idk what happened between now and then but it is no longer safe for us.

I’ve had Ike’s before without issue, but this location gave me the worst glutening I’ve had in years. I don’t know if there was cross-contamination or an ingredient changed and they didn’t update its gluten-free status, but regardless: don’t trust this place.

Great food made with care. When I asked for mine on gluten free bread (which was a really good gf sub roll) she said is this a preference or an allergy! For someone with celiac this was music to my ears! They took all the precautions! I will be back!

Awesome gluten-free roll for the sandwich. I haven't had a good hot sandwich in years and was able to enjoy one here.

Super cool they ask if it’s an allergy or preference. When I said allergy they confirmed they made it separately with clean gloves and utensils. Bread roll from Mariposa was super delicious!

They have a gluten from sub sandwich bread. Staff was knowledgeable and took special precautions to give me a truly gluten free sub.

This location is terrible. They gave me regular bread more than once. Their locations in Concord and Danville do an amazing job of taking precautions against cross contamination and never make me sick. Go there instead!
