Blown away by the cookie sandwich I had here. Literally the best gluten-free vegan dessert I’ve ever had. My first bite lead to panicked unbelief that it could possibly be real.

I have celiac and I was very impressed with the young staff at this shop. When I ordered an ice cream sandwich with gluten free cookies the young man changed his gloves and got the cookies stored seperate from the others. He than pointed out the gluten free ice cream choices which were marked and plentiful. He asked if he should get a new scoop and or a new tub of the ice cream I choose to avoid contamination. I was very impressed and it felt great to not have to ask for these things and feel like a pain in the butt. No extra charge for gluten free either.

I feel safe eating here. They changed their gloves and had no issue using ice cream that was uncross contaminated. The gluten free cookies were kept separate from the regular cookies. I didn’t ask how separate they were cooked. The vegan option wasn’t marked gluten free on the board but it was on the website so I went with that since it is a chain. The price was reasonable for 2 cookies and ice cream.

Been here 3-4 times, never gotten sick with any medicine. I’m Celiac so it was amazing how they would go into the back in request for new ice cream. Please ask for ice cream from a new tub if you are celiac and have to avoid cross-contamination at all costs. I looked in the vanilla ice cream, which was one of their gluten-free options and it was covered in crumbs. The workers did a great job and they seemed well educated on the allergy. Overall there are two cookie substitutes and I haven’t gotten sick from either of them. I wouldn’t add any toppings or hot press as those could be cross contaminated. Good place to eat.

Went here this week. Got a gluten free cookie sandwich with gluten free ice cream and sprinkles. Staff member rolled the sandwich in a common use bowl of sprinkles. I assumed it was for gluten free designated items. Had a bad reaction and have been sick for over 3 days now.
