Consistently good food every single time. The Greek salad and Southwest Chicken Salad are the best!

Gateway market is great! Reasonably priced quality deli food and sushi! Atmosphere and service were great and there’s not much more that could be better. Will be back:)

Such great food and desserts. The cheesecake is a must try! Got a caprese sandwich and it was great and very fresh. I believe they use the garlic focaccia which is another favorite of mine. I’d recommend the garlic Asiago focaccia over the original garlic however - the cheese adds such a nice flavor.

Placed an order online. Picked it up and went home to enjoy. Unfortunately this is the saddest chicken pesto sandwich I have ever had. It's a charred tiny piece and THEY FORGOT MY SIDE! I feel.so ripped off. No side of jalapeno creamed corn so a significant part of my meal is missing. Driving back 10 miles for it is not realistic. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ORDERS because they apparently do not check for accuracy. Very disappointed.

Vegan chicken sandwich was a 2mm slice of seitan between two half-inch layers of unseasoned, partially-cooked batter and flour in a bun. It is the closest I have come to eating a bread sandwich. Very disappointing, because their other vegan options are decent.

This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch--whether it be with friends, co-workers, or my husband. I'm even comfortable eating here alone! They serve global comfort foods like ramen, but also have your usual salads and sandwiches. Their limited Vegan menu is actually very tasty! I don't have any dietary restrictions but will veer off-the-beaten-path from time-to-time. My personal go-to is the cranberry chicken salad wrap with the caprese salad on the side. I don't drink, but they serve beer here, as well as fresh-pressed juices, and coffee. The prices are fair, the staff is great, and the delicious food comes out quick! I've been coming here for years and still no complaints.

It’s discouraging seeing the same lame vegan options usually hidden behind the seam of the doors in the pastry options.. it just seems even more that vegan ops are an after thought. I did however spot more vegan options in the fresh veggie refrigerated section, which is great. I’d love to see more options store-wide though, especially to keep up with Whole Foods. They have added a variety of vegan proteins, sauces & cheeses. But they fail miserably at fresh baked vegan goods (this is where Gateway could come in- check out vegan treats in Bethlehem, PA). Also Gateway could offer vegan vegetable options on their hot bar (without adding unnecessary dairy, like Wholes does 🙄) also trying to avoid unnecessary allergens like adding too much sodium like soy sauce, miso, balsamic, Dijon also overlaps with alcohol sensitivities of clientele, wine vinegar, etc. I’ve written the big-grocers in town requesting updates and it’s been months of no change, and I ask them who wants the 2000+ local vegans’ money most? We still wait for who’s going to up their vegan game. Hoping it’s not Wholes, but it currently appears in some categories they are ahead. Again who wants our 💵? 💚ty

I went to gateway at 11 am on a Wed. I ordered a plain Tenderloin sandwich to go. When waiting for my food, I was standing next to a table to sit down. But an employee walked up to the table threw down his bag on the table and walked away. Then when I got back to work with my food, opened the order and there were pickles on my food and the Tenderloin was burnt. I tried it just in case it just looked bad. But it was burnt, and some parts were not edible. Plus, the sandwich tasted like pickles. Due to this I was not able to eat my sandwich. I sent an email for feedback and never received a response.
