🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Glassful option: Sub sandwiches made with gluten-free Schär bread for medium subs (when stock allows). Examples discussed in the evidence include items like Hook & Ladder and Italian being prepared on the gluten-free roll when requested.
  • Build-your-own and hot specialty subs: Many subs can be made gluten-free by swapping in the Schär gluten-free roll; some items are explicitly noted as safe when prepared this way, while others are cautioned due to bread types or breadcrumb fillings. If unsure, ask staff to confirm and request fresh gloves and surfaces.
  • Salads: All chopped salads are gluten-free by default, and can be ordered without croutons to stay gluten-free.
  • Cold sub option: Tuna Salad can be ordered on a gluten-free roll, making the cold sub route viable with the GF bread.
  • Sides and greens: Side Salad is gluten-free; other sides and soups are typically not recommended for strict celiacs due to cross-contamination risks, with many menu items not gluten-free.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contamination risk remains, especially in a busy deli setting with shared equipment.
  • Staff may change gloves and use separate prep areas, but there is still potential for cross-contact if procedures aren’t followed for every order.
  • Some items (like certain breads or meats) may not be gluten-free or may require a gluten-free roll that is out of stock at times.
  • Toasting: GF buns are sometimes toasted separately (often on foil) to minimize contact with regular bread, but the toaster/rack system isn’t universally dedicated to gluten-free prep.
