Review of Gelina’s Ice Cream

I have been going to Gelina’s since I was just a little kid and long before my celiac diagnosis. During the warmer months, this is a great place to stop for delicious soft serve ice cream. The gluten free options are marked on the menu, and while they don’t have gluten free cones, I always enjoy their ice cream in a cup. The portion sizes are quite good and the prices are very reasonable. Since the staff are mostly younger kids working summer jobs, I have been accidentally served a gluten-filled cone once before, and when I reminded them I ordered a cup they simply put the cone into a cup. Unfortunately, I had to hold up the line a bit longer explaining that I couldn’t eat that particular ice cream as it had now been cross contaminated. However, that has only happened one time and I’m always very hyper vigilant when ordering since then.
