+100 The breakfast sandwich on the yucca “bread” (it’s kind of a cross between bread and a hash brown) is my dream sandwich. Right now I’m on a restricted sodium diet, but as soon as I can let up, that’s the first thing I’m going to get.

ArepaZone avocado and chicken salad arepa mmmmmhmmm

Also Rise but they are $$$

In Richmond you can find places serving sandwiches on AnnaB bread. It
holds up pretty well.

OP here, thank you all for your replies and suggestions!

OP here, thanks for asking, not celiac but have gluten intolerance (can tolerate some cross contamination, but eating e.g. a regular/non-GF sandwich would trigger massive headaches and fatigue lasting 2-4 days)

Celiac here. Don’t eat a lot of sandwiches but Lillits in Bethesda is a good choice. DC has also felt good about how Philadelphia Mike’s has avoided cross contamination risks. I’ve heard ok things about Subway but some stores are better than others. I also enjoy a lettuce wrap burger from Five Guys from time to time.

Jersey Mikes has GF bread

Lilit Cafe Bethesda

If you’re ever in NY, the NoGlu bakery is pretty good but the sandwiches are still nothing like the regular ones.

Is Jason’s deli still around? They have Udi’s bread, which can fall apart, but they had good corned beef.

Yeah…GF spouse doesn’t go out for sandwiches. We make them at home on toasted GF bread. It’s a bummer. There is that GF bakery in Bethesda, they make decent sandwiches.

I don’t think you’re going to find any good responses unfortunately. GF people tend to not eat sandwiches. Though Tryst makes a good GF wrap, made with what I believe are GF spinach Mission Tortillas.

For those of you with gluten intolerance or sensitives, tell me about your best GF-sandwich experience and where.

Before I had issues with gluten, I used to love Potbelly sandwiches, but those days are gone and looking for a GF-sandwich place where the bread doesn't fall apart halfway into eating it (GF breads have less elasticity and less moist, so they tend to "fall apart" a lot easier than non-GF breads)
