Incorrect hours are posted on here. Make sure you’re checking Google as well as this app for hours of operation. I am visiting and drove across the city on a scooter to get some food and got here 10 minutes too late.
Quick, friendly, and delicious. No obvious cross contamination issues.

Yum yum yum. Got a custom GC and tomato soup. Good for GF people and anyone just wanting a grilled cheese. Not sure if they have a separate space for the prep to prevent cross contamination. My sandwich was not cut in half, which means they are aware of the allergy.

We had a delicious meal at GCDC. Ordering was easy and they took good care to ensure our GF items were labeled, prepared and served separately. My daughter has celiacs and had absolutely no issues.

I love the idea of a grilled cheese bar and the plethora of options and customizability of everything is super exciting! 🧀🥪
They have gluten-free bread and have a dedicated preparation space for the grilled cheese and patty melts.
You can also note allergies on your order at the kiosk. If you have any questions or concerns, the staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have.
I ended up getting two separate grilled cheeses because I was really hungry. The first was the barbecue chicken grilled cheese and I added bacon to it. I was worried that the jalapenos would be spicy, but they weren't at all! 🥓🌶
The second grilled cheese I got was to go and I got the truffle grilled cheese, it was so creamy and the mushrooms were absolutely delicious. 🍄
On top of both of those I got a lemonade and it's a house-made lemonade that isn't too sweet and isn't too tart 🍋
Last thing to note is that they have a gluten-free sticker that is also tamper safe! The placement isn't really related to tampering, but it is nice to have a flag that says that it is gluten free. As a suggestion: I think it would be smart if they put the sticker on the edge of the box near one of the openings. So that you know that if the package has been opened, the sticker will be torn and not the food has been tampered with. Otherwise, it is a great marker to know that your food is indeed gluten-free!
Mainly, I'm excited to go back and try more combinations out! Definitely recommend that you stop here next time you're in DC!

Got the pizza melt. A little too small for be a filling meal on its own but a yummy snack and not a bad price (no up charge for GF).

I loved GCDC! They have a walk-up kiosk you order from but was able to speak with someone and told them about my allergy. They explained that everything was done seperate and all I had to note was gluten free on the item.

Was in the area and looking for a convenient, quick and safe lunch. When I walked in, I was a little nervous at first as you self order at a kiosk, but I double checked the safety protocol with an employee who proudly gave me a rundown of their cross contamination protocol and reassured me they took things seriously. I was able to order gluten free bread (with NO added surcharge!!) and add a gluten allergy to my order. When my order arrived there was also a gluten free label on my tray. I ordered the Mediterranean on GF bread and it was pretty tasty, and I did not get sick! Would come here again.

This was such a great experience! I ordered the pizza melt style gluten-free and my gluten free friend ordered the bacon jalapeño popper style. The pizza one which I had tasted just like a pizza! Not too cheesy, and not too saucy. The jalapeño popper style was great as well! The best thing about GCDC is that you can make any of the grilled cheeses gluten-free! It made a safe experience for us both. Definitely going to come back next time we are in the area.

I ate lunch here and so far (four hours later) feel totally fine. The kiosk ordering system made me a little nervous because there is nowhere to indicate any food allergy. So instead of paying at the kiosk I elected to pay the cashier, which allowed me to confirm with a person that my food would be subject to their allergen protocols. I got a no-frills grilled cheese with cheddar on gf bread that was super tasty. I also got the tomato soup side which was good as well, though a little thin. The sandwich was marked GF. Given the limited options in the immediate area I think this is a good safe choice.

You can get any of their menu items on GF bread, or build your own mac n cheese with GF noodles. Very impressed with the options! The tomato soup was AMAZING.

I had a great experience here! I ordered through their online ordering system a build your own gluten free grilled cheese. They were very fast with making it and the tray even had a gluten free sticker. I had no issues afterwards. I will be back!

The mac n cheese tasted delicious and I was really excited to try it! The ordering system made me a little nervous (online only) but watching the staff they took precautions and changed gloves to keep it safe. My concern though was watching them afterwards while we were eating I watched the staff member use a gloved hand to make a toasted sandwich and then without changing went and refilled the stations with cheese, etc so definitely creating a cross contamination risk (unless it was gf bread)! The food was really nice but just given the nature of the operation and setup there’s definitely a cross contamination risk unfortunately!

Kids were excited to get a GF grilled cheese and with so many options. DF cheese is offered as well. Order is placed through the website and not by an attendant/server (I’m always nervous about that when ordering GF - but worked fine in this case). Staff was very pleasant. Place was a little dirty though.

It’s was really good. Great selection for gluten free. The bread tasted good and was a fine texture but it was on the verge of falling apart at any moment (like any mediocre gluten free bread). I went around 2 on a Saturday and I wouldn’t describe it as fast service but that’s to be expected. There is no seperate gluten free menu but as far as I could tell anything you could order could be made gluten free (I didn’t look at the desserts).

LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s soooo good and there are so many customizable options. They have little tablets that you order from and for every item you order it lets you put in an allergy. I would eat here every single day if I could 😂

Food is not marked as GF when it comes out. Nevertheless it was safe, delicious and plentiful!! I ordered a burger that came with Mac and Cheese but as I indicated I was celiac they removed them from the preparation as they are not GF. Very thoughtful!

We’re from out of state and struggled to find food teenagers would like. We had a party of 6 place a takeout order and 6 out of 6 loved their grilled cheeses. I wasn’t a fan of the tomato soup, to me it tasted like pizza sauce. I added creamed cheese to dr it up a little. I would 100% recommend this.

I ordered my own custom grilled cheese (bacon, cheddar/pepper jack cheese, ranch). The taste was spectacular and the gluten free bread wasn't small like the ones you buy in retail. Therefore the meal was a decent size AND filling. I would absolutely go here again.

Wonderful, safe restaurant in DC! They told us everything but the side of mac & cheese could be made gluten free. My family ordered mac & cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches and everything was fantastic. We’re pretty sensitive to cross contamination and no one had issues. Note- They told us Rise bakery makes their gluten free bread

Celiac safe. Asked all the questions, for all the good answers. Call if you’re concerned. This was the best grilled cheese and Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The bread WAS THE SAME SIZE AS THE REGULAR BREAD. IT WAS AMAZING AND THE BEST SANDWICH EVER. the mac and cheese??? A huge bowl and all crispy and burned??? I felt so special and like a real human being eating out. This was honestly such a good experience. Also the pickle was like an entire cucumber?? Such a good surprise.

My partner is coeliac and this is the first place we’ve ever gone where he knew immediately that he didn’t need to worry about anything gluten/cross-contamination related. Plus everything tastes incredible!!
100% the top place to go in DC as a coeliac.
