I’ve been here a dozen times and have never had an issue. The flavor cards in front of the freezer show what is GF. Everyone who works there as gladly used a new scoop from a new carton they got from the back.

Really great ice cream and costumer service. They have gf clearly labeled on the menu and scooped from a new container from the back with a clean scoop to prevent cross-contact.

Numerous times, a kind friend or coworker will stop by here and ask for dairy-free and gluten-free for me, and NUMEROUS TIMES the employees have sent them with the Texas Sheet Cake, which, just as it sounds, has ribbons of cake swirled in it. There are gluten-free options here, but it’s clear to me that gluten-awareness isn’t a part of their training program.

They are great. If you ask them for an “allergy scoop” they will use a different scoop and open a new container of the GF flavor that you would like to order.

I was excited to try their ice cream but they use the same scoop in all the ice creams so even the gluten free options are contaminated. Do not recommend if you have an allergy

Fantastic ice cream & nice selection of drinks. Do let them know to keep it gluten free when you order or they will automatically garnish with a wedge of waffle cone. Nice, stylin’ outdoor patio

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.
