The shop has Gluten Free Bread in large lettering advertised as a centerpiece on their middle window so you would think they would have…gluten free bread. I just drove 20 minutes and waited for 5 minutes outside for them to open and then for another 5 on line to order only to find out they don’t have gluten free bread. They just opened, so they didn’t run out, they just didn’t stock it. A gigantic waste of my time and I see no reason to make that trek again and run the same risk.

Holy moly are these sandwiches delicious. They’re also huge. My husband usually gets 2 at other places, but 1 is enough for sure. (He likes the Joe XL.) He’s gluten intolerant and their GF bread is wicked good and made locally (Bam Bam). I’ve tried the Apple Pork, Harvest Chicken Salad, the Mushroom, and the Bacon 3 Cheese and would 10/10 recommend them all. I have a hard time deciding between getting one I already know is amazing or trying something new. The Bennie’s are also delicious, the sauces are nice to dip in. They also have really great latte flavors!
