Horrendous!!! I ordered the mint chocolate, which supposedly gluten free and about 45 mins later, I am having major constipation with a massive amount of cold sweats. I was definitely suffering and at the same time my hands and feet were tingling and continued all night!!!!

Salt n Straw is not gluten friendly at all!!!! I warn you all!!!!

They were so kind! They let me know all Flavors that are gluten free. They changed scoop, gloves and went to back for new buckets to prevent cross contamination. They came back out a little later than the rest of our non-Gf order, due to precautions. The employees smiled and were very understanding and accommodating.

Very accommodating. I was able to tell the servers I had celiac disease and they went to the back to new ice cream containers for samples and serving. There are also very good vegan options as well!

The long line moved quickly and we were easily accommodated. I told the server we were celiac and it was no problem for her to scoop ours from the back in a fresh container. I only had a bite but the salted caramel was amazing!

My experience was amazing! I have to be dairy free, soy free as well as celiac. They don't have the GF flavors listed, but I asked and they had a list of GF flavors. The server washed her hands, changed her gloves and got a new cartoon and scope to scope from. They don't have GF cones, but the ice cream was so delicious, it didn't matter. Their vegan ice creams are a coconut base. Enjoyed and didn't get sick!!!!

Went here twice during our week at Disney and each time the employees were very kind and patient. Both times got vanilla and the lavender honey in a cup which they scooped from the back. Didn’t get sick either time and the ice cream is delicious

Super cute place with a lot of options. The only gluten free option was out therefore I went out of the store empty-handed. The person helping me seem very knowledgeable willing to go in the back to get a scoop with awareness of allergies.

Vegan items were marked on menu, but not GF. Employees didn't seem 100% educated on GF needs, but they had a list of GF options. Best to ask them to check the list twice to be safe. Not cheap, but the flavors are unique and the quality is high.

I’ve had good experiences here and the scoopers have always been willing to scoop from a fresh tub for me but there’s a lot of staff so no guarantee. The only downside is a lot of the flavors are not gluten free.
