We found this ice cream shop on our trip to glass beach 4 years ago, and drove the 3.5 hrs this year just to get a fix. I don’t know what they do to this ice cream but it is mind-blowingly delicious. I don’t even usually care for ice cream. Glad they survived the pandemic! There are gluten friendly flavors and everything is well-labeled.

amazing ice cream. very safe and understanding of celiac. took ice cream from the back (gluten free ice cream cones are the typical ones and not homemade so i would suggest to skip those). Spectacular place.

All ice creams are marked for allergies, they even have a separate sheet w all ingredients. They carry GF cones, offered to clean the scooper and use a fresh batch of ice cream. And it was delish!

Long line but good ice cream! The lady who helped us was happy to scoop from the back when we said we had Celiac (although she didn't seem to know what that was). Allergens are listed on each ice cream, so that's nice. No GF cones though.

I asked what flavors were gluten free and the kind woman behind the counter grabbed a binder and showed me a packet that stated which flavors had no gluten. Most of them are gluten free! I said I was celiac and asked if they could use a different scoop. She went into the back and got the ice cream out of a separate tub so there was no cross contamination. Plus, they have gluten free cones which are NOT made in-house, so there’s even less possibility for cross contamination there too. They don’t taste amazing, but I haven’t gotten to have ice cream on a cone in quite some time, so it was nice for the experience. They were very nice, very knowledgeable, very careful, and the ice cream was very good. 10/10.

Very accommodating, even with a big line of people. After I mentioned being Celiac, they scooped from fresh tubs of ice cream with a clean scoop. Delicious ice cream!

Talked to worker, he said everything had gluten in it. Either he doesn't know what he's talking about or the signs marking allergies are lying. Either/or, doesn't instill confidence in this place. I was, as always, the only person left out of my group. The other reviews had me so hopeful.

He did say they had dairy free options, so if that's your thing, you're one up on me. #slightlybitter

Gluten-free cones available and ice cream ingredients listed, which was great. What was really amazing is that when he found out my partner is actually celiac, the server actually went to the back to get new tubs of ice cream so there wouldn’t be contamination from scoops. Super aware and kind and deeeelicious ice cream!

Great selection Gluten free cones!!! No problems Make sure you visit

Everything is labeled with ‘contains egg, gluten, nuts’ and when I told the server that I was Coeliac he used ice cream from a fresh tub and washed the scoop to ensure there was no cross contamination. Aside from the excellent service the ice cream was amazing! 😀 We will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All the ice cream flavors have an allergen listing on their window labels, you don't have to ask what may be hidden. I had a scoop of their "Rockiest Road" ice cream and no problem at all. It was delicious! Not 100% sure what the ingredients are in their sorbet, but they do have dairy-free options too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
