Everywhere

Starbucks has introduced a Gluten-Free Smoked Canadian Bacon & Egg hot breakfast sandwich.

From Starbucks’ website:

At last, a breakfast sandwich for our gluten-free friends. Tasty cherrywood-smoked Canadian bacon, an egg patty and reduced-fat white cheddar on a gluten free roll. It’s all prepared in a certified gluten-free environment and sealed for your safety. We then warm and serve it in its own oven-safe parchment bag to avoid any cross-contamination.

Starbucks has been increasing the number of gluten free offerings. Since the introduction of the Marshmallow Dream Bar Starbucks has been adding additional certified gluten free packaged snacks. You can find a range of chips, cookies, jerkies, yogurt and bananas. But it is only now that you can get a sandwich.

The GF roll stood up well to the heating and eating without crumbling, even having a slight chew. The filling is comfort food: soft and a bit salty.

The Starbucks workers at one location opened the package before heating. Do make sure that the item you receive has remained sealed in its package.

It’s nice to know I can find a meal while traveling thanks to the ubiquity of Starbucks.

As always, Starbucks says:

We cannot guarantee that any of our products are free from allergens (including dairy, eggs, soy, tree nuts, wheat and others) as we use shared equipment to store, prepare and serve them.

  1. RIP? Read online that Starbucks would no longer have this gluten free sandwich. Was happy to enjoy (my last ever?) while traveling this weekend. Hope Starbucks reconsiders.

  2. Tried it again and was handed the sandwich in a white Starbucks bag, out of it’s gluten free wrapper. I’d confirmed with the cashier that the sandwich would be heated unopened. But a different barista heated and delivered the sandwich. That barista said that she didn’t touch the sandwich when she opened the wrapper to put it in the bag. But she graciously made me a new sandwich which arrived unopened.
