Gluten free ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! This place had three options for gluten free cookies (made in a separate area, warmed in a separate oven), and staff could tell me exactly which ice cream flavors and toppings were gluten free. They had separate utensils, scoopers, and prep areas. Try the salted caramel or butterscotch ice cream flavors!

Can’t believe this place doesn’t have more reviews.. They have three different gluten-free cookie flavors and offer gluten-free ice cream sandwiches! I watched them use a different ice cream scoop labeled gluten-free and had a mat under the cookie to avoid cross-contamination! So yummy!

I specified I was celiac but the shop employee didn’t know what flavors were gluten-free, and directed me to non-dairy flavors (I am not lactose intolerant)

We were excited to try CREAM because the website menu indicated which flavors were (& weren’t) gluten free, and even appeared to offer GF cookies for CREAM’s specialty, ice cream sandwiches. Unfortunately, not all staff were trained in safe GF/allergy food handling practices; the person helping us seemed annoyed by the request to change gloves and looked at me with blank confusion when I asked if the ice cream could be scooped with a fresh scoop from a fresh bin in the back, to avoid cross contamination. The manager came over and helped with the clean scooper, but apparently it would take too long to get a fresh container from the back (i think because it is frozen hard and would take too long to thaw? wasn’t 100% clear), so we ended up not getting ice cream. Kind of a bummer. There was one GF cookie (snickerdoodle - not a flavor we wanted so we passed); it was stored on the top shelf of the area where all the cookies are stored, so CC was possible but hard to tell.

They do not understand cross-contamination. They put my gf cookies in a shared warmer, reminded them I had celiac and then they put the now cross-contaminated cookies back in with the gf cookies.
