This particular location does not label the menu, but the workers know which flavors are safe. Vanilla is always safe and chocolate never is. Their flavors rotate daily. They scoop the custard but each flavor has it's own scooper so there isn't cross contamination. I liked my vanilla and did not get sick. No cones or toppings

Beware of the chocolate custard, which contains gluten because it is made with malt (barley). I did not think the world would be so cruel as to gluten chocolate ice cream so I did not ask on my first trip there. Reminder to self: always ask about my food allergies. That said, this custard is excellent, but be sure to ask for the listing of allergens before your order and know the cross contamination risks.

I’m not really sure how to rate this with stars because it seems like one of those places where it depends what server you get. I went in with high hopes today but was told, “I think all of the flavors contain gluten.” I’m not sure if this person just didn’t know because she also responded initially to my question about gluten by saying something about nuts (it was very difficult to hear her); I had to clarify that I do not have a nut allergy. Still giving it three stars because I don’t want to discourage someone else from trying if maybe they’ll have a better experience with someone else. I didn’t buy anything.

Went towards closing time and the server was using the same scoop for all different flavors. Also told me that unless the prepackaged pints were labeled GF, they were not GF due to “how it’s made that day”

Not all of the flavors were gluten free but the staff were very helpful. If they didn’t know they looked it up in a manual. They had toppings in the back that they used to avoid cross contamination. And the custard was great.

Not lots of flavors but vanilla, vanilla almond in a dish, milkshake, sundaes have been safe for our family. Unfortunately chocolate has malt.
