They offer gluten-free bread! Occupying the space of an old train station, it makes perfect sense that Maynards has hopped on the gluten-free train (we couldn’t resist). Hot and cold gourmet sandwiches and salads make up a carefully crafted menu.

Despite a brief distraction by Maynards' cocktail-inspired coffee bar, boutique wine shop, and locally-driven snack selection, we were ready to order. Surprisingly, the options outweighed our appetites. For a gluten-free and dairy-free lunch date, we’ve listed ten impressive items:

Sandwiches we ordered:

Cubano

How it comes: Roasted pork, applewood ham, jalapeño, caramelized onion, dill pickle, mayo, chimichurri, dijonnaise.

Lacey and Suede say:

We’ve declared Maynards Market our new favorite ‘casual dining’ spot! The space and menu is also appropriate for a client meeting or study sesh.

A side of house chips and a gluten-free lager were a perfect compliment to our sandwich fix. For those not sensitive to cross-contamination, gluten and dairy-free items are abundant. With still so much to look forward to, the hardest part of this FREEstyle was making a decision.
