We just returned from another outstanding experience here. The server was knowledgeable of which flavours were GF. He washed off the scoop for me before scooping out my flavors and as always, the ice cream was excellent! We stopped by again and everything was excellent as before.

Very knowledgeable. Soft serve is gluten-free, and their hard ice creams, except for the obvious flavors with pretzels and cookies and stuff, are gluten-free; she offered to use a new scoop for the hard ice creams. She said that she could get us sprinkles from a new container and with a clean scoop - but that all the other toppings were at risk of cross-contamination. No gluten-free cones, but I'm fine with a cup.

Review
I asked which of their ice cream was gluten free and they said all that didn’t have obvious gluten containing products (pretzels, cookies) in them. I ordered a cup and told her I had celiac so could she please use a new scoop. Instead, she washed her hands, got a new scoop and also scooped it from a new bin in the back. I really appreciated her thoroughness and will definitely go back

Although they didn’t have GF cones, they were knowledgeable about CC. Without asking they offered to use a separate scooper for the ice cream, and spoon for the toppings. All ice creams are GF aside from the obvious ones that have gluten mixed in (cookie dough, brownie bites etc.). They seem to be on the ball!
