Super delicious ice cream! All of the ice cream labels say if it's gluten free or if it contains wheat (most when I went were gf). Make sure to ask them to not top your bowl with pieces of the cones (they do this to the bowls by default).

The second best ice cream I’ve had. Only topped by a Spanish ice cream shop. They got out a new tub of ice cream to give me a guarantee that they did not have cross contamination. Great staff, great taste.

Delicious Jeni’s ice cream, friendly staff, and great (standardized) allergy protocol including glove and scoop changes and separate allergy tubs, just like all other Jeni’s locations. GF ice creams and dairy free desserts are marked on menus. They do process in a facility that also processes wheat, but I’m sensitive and have never had an issue at Jeni’s. (We went to Jeni’s because Pretty Nice was closed.)

Came here on the e-ride app while vacationing in Carlsbad.

Super cute cosmic themed 🥰 ice cream 🍦 shop! Request a new scoop. The staff is super accommodating. All ice cream is labeled gf and or df! Lots of fun flavors to choose from.

They also have space dust - rice crisp topping that’s gf - definitely add it on!

This place is a chain that started in Ohio, it has lots of gf flavor options (even things that don’t seem like it, including gooey butter cake!) and good allergen procedures in place to avoid cross contamination. Staff knows what to do if you just tell them you have an allergy.

Most of their ice cream flavors are gluten free and they use separate scoopers to reduce cross-contamination. They don’t have gluten free cones, but the ice cream was delicious. They also have dairy free options.

this ice cream shop has flavors that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free and dairy free. They knew about allergens. They used a separate spoon, wash their hands and washed the spoon. They say that those ice creams are allergen only and they keep separate scoops for them.

if you didn’t feel safe with any potential cross contamination, they also sell ice cream by the pint that you can take home.
