Local Foods

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Local Foods never misses—but the gluten-free bánh mì deserves a spotlight of its own. As someone with celiac and multiple food sensitivities, it’s rare to find something that feels indulgent, satisfying, and safe—and this sandwich checks every box. The textures are perfect, the flavors are bright and balanced, and the gluten-free bread holds up beautifully (a miracle in itself). Pair it with their kale salad or seasonal veggies, and it’s a dream lunch that feels both elevated and nourishing. The vibe is always easygoing, the staff is kind, and the ingredients are super fresh. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Local Foods is one of those spots where everyone leaves happy. You can also follow my journey navigating gluten-free life with EoE over at @glutenfreewitheoe on Instagram for more great finds!

I absolutely love Local Foods, and I also want to shout out January who works with catering orders. I recently placed an order for light bites for a group of about 100 people, and January and the whole staff were incredible. J went back and forth with me to get the order just perfect, it DID come out perfect, they helped me carry it to my car, it was perfectly on time, I really can't say enough about it. If you need lunches or meals or light bites, you should feel great about ordering from Upper Kirby Local Foods. Also everything was delicious. I got such good feedback at the event, AND gluten-free and vegan people ate their fill. GO JANUARY, GO LOCAL FOODS!!
