Review


They have both sugar and cake cones that are gluten free. They also soy based ice creams, not just sorbets if you want to be dairy free. My boyfriend has a nut allergy and I can't have gluten and we both had an excellent experience here. The second we walked in the man behind the counter started handing us samples. Of course I stopped him and said we have food allergies. This started up a great conversation which made me much more comfortable. I am always nervous about trying new places. I think we were speaking with the owner, or at least a manager. He said that he makes sure the employees that work there are all very knowledgeable about food allergies and cross contamination. He kept handing us different samples of things he wanted us to try that were safe for us which was fun. The ice cream was great! I had the gluten free cake cone. It was just something packaged in a box from an outside source but it was surprisingly good. Entertaining environment. If you have multiple food allergies and want to go with some advanced knowledge, you can go to their website and click on what you can't eat. It shows you a list of the flavors you can have. Check it out!
