Middle Child
Celiac Safety Score
Middle Child is a Philly gem for celiacs who crave a real-deal sandwich—think house-corned beef on herby, celiac-friendly focaccia, with every bite as satisfying as you remember. The kitchen touts a 100% gluten-free facility status, and their detailed prep protocols—separate areas, fresh gloves, and clear “celiac” ticketing—show they take our safety seriously, not just as an afterthought. Even during the bustling lunch rush, staff know the difference between gluten-free preference and celiac-level care, so you can finally relax and focus on the food. Sure, there’s the occasional bread provider switch (and you’ll want to double-check the fryer if you have a shellfish allergy), but for most of us, Middle Child feels like that rare spot where trust and taste finally go hand-in-hand.
