Cold Stone Creamery

FINALLY! Someone who gets "allergy" (or in my case cross-contamination from gluten from celiac). Not sure if I lucked out when I went but the guy seemed pretty attuned to keeping ice cream safe for me, including putting on gloves; opening up a new container from the back just for me; adding mix-ins from unopened container in back; and mixing in its own container. Then covered and out in a bag separate from my daughters cross-contaminated ice cream. GREAT job! Wish more places "got" it like this one!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They got out a fresh scooper and got mine from the back to avoid CC! I didn’t get any mix ins but had no issues! Just a little pricey!

They were wonderful. The server was knowledgeable and went way out of her way to avoid cross contamination. They had a separate prep area, changed gloves without being asked, and were willing to check ingredients. Dairy free ice cream was available in one flavor

They were very knowledgeable about which ice creams were gluten-free. Once I selected one, they went in the back and got me a fresh scoop from an unopened container to avoid cross contamination.

Staff didn't know what flavors contain gluten, and didn't even seem to know the word gluten. There was no indication on the menu or other written information available. One of the servers called the manager to ask and were told that the only GF options were sorbet and almond milk ice cream. We're pretty sure they were confusing dairy-free and GF, but we didn't want dairy free ice cream and didn't feel comfortable ordering anything else.

Fantastic!! The attendant was very knowledgeable and steered us through the process. Mixed our ice creams in a special cold container. It was a very positive experience.
