The ice cream, most of the toppings and add-ons are gluten-free. GF cones are also available of course. My celiac kid enjoys getting to choose from a variety of things for once! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly about GF: handle the cones with a paper towel and get all ingredients fresh from the back. My kid is sensitive to CC but has not gotten sick after multiple visits.

Fun concept! I was especially impressed with how my gluten free order was handled. The staff member removed the gluten free cone from the stack (that had been in the open, risking cross contact) and threw it away before building my cone with the second cone in the stack. The rest of the order was handled in the back with fresh supply of ingredients. Lots of gluten free choices. For my taste, I think the product itself ends up too sweet, but was fun and I would go back.

The novelty and dipped ice cream is fun, though it's super sweet with very little flavor. They have clearly marked gluten-free options, and seemed to be observant of keeping things safe. The area was very clean in the service was great.

Really unique experience, so many tasty options. Ice cream is GF, and they have GF cones available. Most dips are GF, really loved the raspberry and passion fruit ones. I recommend the house made freeze dried strawberry toppings!

Based on another recommendation on this app I got the chocolate dip with potato chips, loved the sweet/salty combo. It was just a little too sweet.

This place is awesome. The employees were very aware of celiac safety. All of the dips are gluten free except cookie butter and cookies n cream. The ice cream is gluten free and they have gluten free cones. My husband got chocolate dipped with potato chips and loved it. They took his ice cream in the back just to be extra safe. He didn’t get sick and I would recommend this place!

This ice cream shop opened earlier this month. The soft serve vanilla ice cream is GF and they also have a non-dairy option. Most of the ice cream dips (hard shell) are GF. They also have several GF toppings. And to my happy surprise they offered me a GF cone! The service was great even with a line and they were able to give you tastes of the different dips like Cinnamon Pecan, Bourbon, and Lemoncello Almond.
