First time since being diagnosed Celiac that I’ve felt safe eating at an ice cream shop with my family. I explained that I had celiac so there could be no cross contamination and they seemed knowledgeable. Many of the flavors are gluten free and they will prepare an “allergy” scoop (yeah, I know it’s not an allergy) in other room. The gooey butter cake was decadent. Staff said customers are always amazed it is gluten free. I didn’t react at all after eating. Please note: I did not ask deep questions about the process and how they make it because they seemed to know what they were talking about. Ask questions and judge for yourself. Look forward to hearing what other celiacs think.

I just saw they have a gluten free menu online!

Ask for an “Allergy Scoop” and they will get fresh ice cream from the back and use separate supplies. The flavors in the case are labeled which are gluten free. Make sure to say no waffle wedge. Delicious!

Almost all the flavors are gluten free. I asked if she could scoop from new tubs in the back with a new scooper and she had no problem doing that for me. I got a milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and coffee flavor and the coffee was my favorite.

every flavor I tried was SUPER sweet, a little too much for my taste, but the creaminess was awesome and there were a TON of GF options. Staff is knowledgeable and got an allergy scoop from the back containers!

Not a lot of options for gluten free people. Nothing is labeled on their menu and all the labels by the ice cream itself were wrong. Of the flavors I could eat, it was pretty average. Creamier than most ice creams but nothing super exceptional. I got peanut butter and chocolate.
