This is our plant and offices. If you call ahead, we can sell you quarts and 3 gallon tubs from here, but we do not have a retail location in Myrtle Beach. Coastal Creamery does carry us, including our GF cookies and cream.

We had read the great reviews and stopped in today with our celiac teen for a waffle cone and he unfortunately is now suffering from cross contamination symptoms after eating it. While they say the cones are gluten free, they aren’t careful with cross contamination.

I was skeptical of this place at first because the waffle cone looks and tastes too good to be gluten free. However, I have eaten here twice and it was all good! Some of the staff is knowledgeable while others are not. The waffle cone is AMAZING and all of the flavors are gluten free. Only concern about this place is possible cross contamination with other non gluten free cones, but they have the best gluten free ice cream cone I have had!

Ice cream is very good. No allergy scoops available and worker spoke broken English. Allegedly GF waffle bowls. Tasted great and my son did not get sick.

Review
I am visiting Charleston and was SO EXCITED to have a gluten free cone. I ordered my daughter’s ice cream and then was asking about gluten free options for me (celiac). The girl behind the counter informed me just the waffle cones were GF (no problem!) and all flavors were. When I inquired about if they had a separate container for GF flavors she said they all are and I pointed out that she scooped my daughters into a cone that contains gluten. Her response was “yea, but I didn’t touch it”. So, use your judgement but the girl looked at me with a completely blank stare. It was disappointing.
