Most of their flavors are oat milk based (which celiacs know is super risky due to cross-cont.) You have to ask which ones are coconut milk. There are very few choices with coconut milk, the 2 different flavors I got and the ones my husband got, just Bleh. For some reason my stomach still got so swollen I don't understand. Some sort of cross contamination happening here :( really sucks. This shouldnt be considered dedicated. It's definitely not.

This place is absolutely amazing. All the ice cream flavors are gluten free, vegan, and delicious. Their cookie dough ice cream is by far the best one I've had since I was diagnosed. I have had the ice cream with the gluten free cone and also gotten a pint to take home because I just can't stay away.

This place is absolutely amazing!!!! Everyone is so friendly and everything is vegan and gluten free. They take allergies very seriously and none of the ice cream contains peanuts the ice cream is made with either coconut milk or oat milk. Their wide range of flavors makes you feel normal. This place has made my day!!!!

Never thought that vegan ice cream can be this creamy!

I usually get cup, but it seems like they have GF waffle cone.

Wide selection of flavours and was delighted for my daughter to have a gf cone. They do carry normal cones and although they are kept separately and the server explained that the gf ones were the only ones made on the premises, I would have been a little happier if she was a bit more reassuring/ knowledgable about their protocol for avoiding cross contamination. We took the risk though and my celiac daughter had no issues and was so very happy. I would say it was a little on the pricy side ( around $6+ for a kids cone)

I am celiac and vegan and the ice cream was really good, so creamy I thought it might have dairy in it! All the ice cream is 100% gluten free and vegan but they do offer regular cones (not sure why).

Their ice cream is great- dairy free as well as gluten free. They are not a dedicated facility- they have regular cones and cookies. Although they keep the cones in a separate container they didn’t seem clear on how to avoid cross contamination. Those in our group that are not as sensitive enjoyed their ice cream.

AWESOME PLACE!!!!! Everything is dedicated gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan. Pretty much a regular ice cream store with all the bells and whistles - except allergy friendly! They even have GF cones, which I have never seen before. Clean, cute, and very friendly. I had the “Unicorn Magic” flavor (pink coconut milk vanilla ice cream with GF animal crackers, marshmallow, and sprinkles) on a GF and Vegan snickerdoodle cookie sandwich. Love, love, LOVE this place and I would really like to come back!! Just wish I didn’t have to go all the way to LA...

I found there was a strong after taste to the ice cream and the GF cake in the strawberry shortcake sundae. Frankly, it was quite a disappointment. It was a bit bitter on the back end and a little medicinal. Don’t know what they use for texture, stabilizers etc., but I’d rather have straight sorbet .....bummer

AWESOME GF ICE CREAM SHOP!! All the ice cream is gluten free as well as the waffle cone. They do offer a sugar cone that IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. The parking was kinda an issue, but definitely worth it. Recommend one scoop of chocolate fudge in a waffle cone!!

I don't know any other places to get a GF waffle cone made on site (and not cross contaminated) but here you can! The ice cream is vegan - I think Coconut milk instead of cream and also entirely gluten free. They even have Cookie Dough. Next time we will try the birthday batter bon-bons, giant chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. They even sell ice cream cakes. I know there are plenty of non-vegan IC spots for those with Celiac to enjoy, but at this spot you don't have to get the cupIf you don't want.
