    Ike’s Shops are All About Love & Sandwiches for Special Diets

    6
    By Alisa Fleming on January 20, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! This is the sandwich shop of special diet dreams. When it comes to gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, there are options for everything at Ike’s Love & Sandwiches. And the best part is, there’s no upcharge for special diet requests! Yes, that vegan cheese swap is free, and it melts incredibly in their oven toasting machine. You can order your sandwich cold, but why?

    Ike's Sandwiches Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan & Allergen Options

    Ike’s Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan & Allergen Options

    Because Ike’s offers a ridiculous amount of sandwich combinations, which vary by location and can all be modified, we’re listing the menu sandwiches that are dairy-free as is (just a handful) followed by the components to help you custom order. This will make it easy to select your sandwich of choice and modify it as needed. But be aware of the Heads Up notes to help clarify information.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items as listed below are also made without egg, gluten, nuts, peanuts, and soy, unless otherwise noted. Most of the following can be made without egg – simply substitute egg-free / vegan sauce. Some items might contain soy oil. Ike’s does not necessarily call out highly refined soybean oil as a top allergen, per the FDA. Ike’s is very friendly toward vegan guests. They offer the vegan meats shown below, vegan cheese, and vegan dirty sauce to make almost any veggie sandwich vegan-friendly.

    My family and I always use to get the Steve Jobs at Ike’s, substituting vegan cheese instead of provolone and veggie chicken instead of eggplant. It was never a problem and we never incurred an upcharge. Until this past weekend…

    Now Ike’s is charging for substitutions. The $10.99 Steve Jobs ended up being nearly $19 after charging extra for the veggie chicken and cheese.

    I reached out to corporate for clarification since I’ve never been charged previously and they responded “We have always charged extra for these items at our locations (as these specific items are a higher cost).”

    So if your location isn’t charging, heads-up that may be changing soon, which is a bummer.

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    This is problematic! I’ve visited Ike’s many times in the past, at different locations, and they never had an upcharge for dairy-free cheese. Their corporate is being a bit dishonest, which is disturbing. That’s an insane price for a sandwich! Thank you for sharing this information.

    The best vegan sandwiches!!!

    My favorite is the Pilgrim Sandwich made vegan. It has so much flavor and is delicious! They add Daiya cheese if you request it for no extra charge, love that! And all of their flavor combinations are unique and create a party in your mouth! My go to for sandwiches!

    Their sandwiches are a savory, gooey indulgence, and I love that they don’t charge extra for vegan cheese! They are a little pricey, but quite big, so my husband and I often split one, like the Matt Cain (our favorite!).

      Hi. I just placed an order for the Go Sharks as a vegan order through Uber Eats for the Dublin, CA location. They called me to advise that the wheat bread is not vegan. The vegan options that they gave me were French, sourdough, and Dutch crunch.

      • Alisa Fleming on August 10, 2018 4:10 pm

        That’s interesting. I’ve been to three different locations and all said that all of their bread choices were vegan. I’ve put in an inquiry to Ike’s central. Just waiting on a response.

      • Alisa Fleming on August 12, 2018 9:52 am

        I just confirmed with Ike’s that all of their breads are dairy-free. I did ask for confirmation on if they are vegan, too, and am waiting to hear back.

      • Alisa Fleming on August 21, 2018 8:44 am

        I think I see where the confusion was! All of there breads are dairy-free. They are all vegan too, except the wheat bread contains honey. So if you keep strictly vegan (no honey) then the wheat bread might not be suitable.

    2. Jen on August 17, 2016 11:28 pm

      Do you know if they have a separate spot for cooking the vegan and vegetarian items?

      • Alisa Fleming on August 18, 2016 11:34 am

        I don’t know this Jen. They’re pretty helpful though, I wouldn’t hesitate to email them directly or ask in store.
