Limited options as far as cookies go. So sick of chocolate chip being the only viable flavor for GF 😖 but most of the ice cream is GF and you can create several unique combos. Tasty!

Review
Rookies is so delicious! I have never felt sick from them and I love the idea of making your own ice cream sandwich! I do wish they hadn’t taken away the second gluten free option. I don’t expect a ton of options being gluten free but they used to have two and they exchanged one for Vegan so if they are out of the classic it’s sad to have to walk away with no cookies.

I have celiac disease and feel safe eating at this establishment. It’s so nice being able to get a gf ice cream sandwich, and their gf classic cookies are delicious. I just wish their were more gf cookie options. Last time I went, they were out of gf cookies which was very disappointing.

From the experiences that I've had they take grand precaution to prepare the gluten free cookies and separate place.. I just wish that they had a gluten free/veganCookie to go along with the vegan ice cream

Great gluten free chocolate chip cookie, Offered to change gloves before making. The gluten-free cookie does have dairy in it, which she let me know since I was ordering vegan chocolate ice cream to go along with it.

Excellent service! When I told them I had a food allergy, they didn’t miss a beat and assured me they could accommodate my celiacs. They only had a chocolate chip cookie for the gluten free cookie option, but boy were those cookies amazing! I got the black raspberry ice cream for my sandwich and didn’t regret it one bit. Definitely worth the stop!

OMG. You HAVE TO go here! GF cookies were the best and most normal delicious GF cookie i have ever had! Not gritty or dry. It was almost doughy and the perfect softness. I had a sandwich with GF chocolate chip cookies and vegan chocolate ice cream.
Staff asked if I wanted gloves changed and ice cream sandwich was prepared on a new piece of parchment paper in a clean area.
Cookies were so good, i bought a half dozen for later. Even my non-GF hubs thought they were amazing.

Review
By far the best choice for gluten free dessert in town. Typical options include chocolate chip cookies, along with 1 or 2 other gluten free selections, and several ice cream flavors.
Staff will take special care in handling gluten free items upon request. Unsure of kitchen precautions.
