's Deli - ate there this afternoon

[Guest guest]

Their " Gluten Free " sign hanging up on their board is a little misleading - it

basically says gluten free sandwiches served on wheat free bread. Also, when

they take your order, they write " multigrain " on the order slip. The sandwiches

are made on Rudi's multi-grain bread, so I guess that's why they write your

order up like that.

Well, there was no mistaking the bread I had my sandwich on was g-f bread,

that's for sure. It was so darn dry, it basically fell apart in dry, dry crumbs

on the plate when I took a bite. Silly me, I wish I had asked them to warm up

the sandwich. It would have tasted 100% better! They will be glad to warm up

the sandwich.

They need to review their g-f language when things settle down; however, I am

glad that they are taking the leap to offer us g-f sandwiches! The manager even

showed me the book they have regarding teaching their employees how to make the

sandwiches, which even included changing gloves - so they are really trying.

Have had two different gf experiences at 's

1. 's downtown Santa Cruz: Yes, the signage is misleading. " We now serve

sandwiches on gluten free wheat bread. " The cashier was very helpful and knew

about celiac disease from a friend who has it. She suggested a " hot " sandwich

and checked on ingredients. The only thing that she didn't know was if the mayo

and mustard in their " Goo " is gluten free. To my surprise, I was served two

sandwiches because the staff feels that the bread slices are small. The REO

Speedwagon was delish and I had enough for lunch the next day!

2. 's Capitola: It seemed like I must have been the first person to order a

sandwich served on their GF bread. Couldn't answer any questions. I ordered a

cold sandwich and the bread fell apart. I was given one serving, unlike the two

I was served at the downtown SC location.

I'll be sure to try another hot sandwich when I'm in downtown Santa Cruz.
