Such a great little shop! They have a salted caramel ice cream with brownies in it that is labeled gluten free on the menu. I didn’t ask about the other flavors because I was too excited about a flavor with brownie in it! The staff was very accommodating and they were happy to use a clean scoop and scoop from an unopened container. I asked and they even have gluten free cones which was such a win. The ice cream was absolutely delicious. Definitely a great place to stop!

They are very knowledgeable about allergens and offer immediately to get a new scoop and open a new tub of ice cream. Great rotating flavors, too!

Sea salt caramel brownie is so good! If you say you have an allergy they’ll get a new bucket and change scoop. The brownie is gluten free!

The staff was super knowledgeable about allergens and even double checked their allergen list on different flavors I was interested in. They carry gluten free cones which is a plus! They also got in a separate/new container and fresh scoop when getting my ice cream!

Friendly staff who take precautions (clean scoop, new, uncontaminated tub, etc) when you state you eat GF for medical reasons. (Even when they’re super busy!) GF CONES! Safe and delicious toppings. Absolutely delicious ice cream! Ice creams that contain gluten are clearly marked on the menu and the staff can also tell you what’s safe. Wonderful seasonal flavors.

They actually have GF cones! And both the times we’ve gone the staff have been very knowledgeable and safe. They get out a new bin of ice-cream to insure you are not cross contaminated plus the ice cream is delicious.

6/1/17 I up my review to 5 stars and celiac friendly! We have had multiple excellent experiences here and they now stock gluten free sugar comes!!!

We love Melt! My daughter was just diagnosed with celiac and I don't know enough yet to rate for celiac friendly-ness. However, I know they are willing and interested in helping out with food avoidance issues. When there with my daughter for the first time post-diagnosis we asked about the sprinkles and the worked checked in the back to make sure they were GF. The owner then popped out to confirm they were GF. We plan to keep requesting GF cones, but for now we will bring our own.

Got an ice cream here today. They had a gluten free salted caramel brownie flavor which was delicious, and when asked about another flavor they double checked it on their computer and confirmed it was gluten free. They even grabbed a special scoop from the back instead of using the ones that were used for the other ice cream. đź‘Ť
