Gluten Free Albuquerque

The Annapolis Tea Company, located in Scottsdale Village, has soups, sandwiches and huge assortment of tea. It is one of the few places where I can order most every sandwich on the menu in gluten-free form. The sandwiches are made with gluten-free bread that acts like sandwich bread. In other words, it doesn't crumble when handled. The combinations I've tried are original or a perfect version of a traditional sandwich. I prefer whatever I order to be grilled and the restaurant procedure is to grill gluten-free sandwiches in clean sauté pans. Everyone that's accompanied me to The Annapolis Tea Company for lunch has commented that their sandwiches have been among the best they've ever had.

There are two gluten-free soups on the menu. I've only tried the Green Chili Chicken Soup which is pictured here. The broth is incredible and the soup contains big pieces of chicken breast along with carrots and the green chili. I plan on making special trips here all winter long just for this soup.

The only part of the menu more extensive than the sandwich section is the tea menu. If you are a tea lover, this is definitely the place for you. The owner tells me that all the teas are gluten free with the exception of any teas made with barley.
