Re: GF deli sandwhiches in Palo Alto?

[Guest guest]

Hi All Thanks so much for your birthday cake suggestions. It's so nice to hear that there are several options out there! I will be in Palo Alto next weekend I heard a rumor that there is a restuarant/deli near the university that serves gluten-free sandwiches. Does anyone know the name/location of a place like this? And if not, can anyone suggest a place to eat that offers good GF options? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. This group has been so helpful to me since my diagnosis last year...

Hi ,

There is a coffee shop in Mountain View on Castro street that

serves gluten free sandwiches. They're called " Spica " . It's about 20

minutes from Palo Alto, though. (If there is one closer I would be

thrilled to hear about it- but I go to school there and haven't heard

about it.)I blogged about it here:

There is a Japanese style bakery, Satura, which offers one gluten

free cake called Yuna that is on University Avenue in downtown Palo

Alto. Being a bakery, there are CC issues to consider, but I have had

it twice now without an obvious response. Here's the link to my post

about it:

There are also several Japanese, Thai, and Middle Eastern

restaurants in downtown Palo Alto that are a good option. There is a

(crummy, small) Whole Foods in Downtown Palo Alto as well, although it

is a little far to walk.

If you hop on the CalTrain (or drive), the California Avenue area

has several things going for it- breakfast places (a little upscale),

a GOOD but pricey health food store (California Sun), and a Molly

Stone Grocery store right next to the station that has an excellent

deli and some GF stuff. I like their deli and salad bar.

Enjoy your trip!

Best,

Hi All
