You can see their GF cookie bowls in a separate display, individually wrapped. I ordered soft serve with a GF cone. A staff member wiped down the nozzle of the soft serve machine prior use. My wife (also GF) got a cup of ice cream. They opened a new container and gave her a spoon in a small ziplock bag. This place goes above and beyond for GF and allergies.

I got strawberry ice cream in a cookie bowl with marshmallow sauce, and my husband got coffee and chocolate marshmallow. All three ice cream flavors were 💯. When I said "celiac" they immediately handed me a separate menu and explained their CC protocols without extra questions. They washed hands and used a fresh scoop and fresh tubs of ice cream from the back. They also gave us separate clean spoons and napkins (see photo). We will definitely be back!

GF cones that taste just like the real thing. My daughter was thrilled!!!! They also were very good with safety. Spoon came in ziploc bag labeled for allergies. They said they would use a new scooper and new tub of ice cream for her. They went over which toppings and ice creams were GF.

I don't think I have ever been to a restaurant where they are more careful about cross-contamination. They scoop ice cream out of separate containers for gluten free, they have gluten free sugar cones and gluten free cookie bowls. There are more gluten free ice cream options than I think I've ever seen at an ice cream place, and lots of topping options. They even bag our spoons separately to ensure they don't touch gluten-y things on their way through the kitchen. The ice cream is a bit pricey, but worth at least one visit for sure. The ice cream itself is absolutely delicious. The cookie bowl in my opinion is dry and crumbly and doesn't have much flavor, so I would get a cone instead of the bowl next time. Otherwise, and excellent dessert spot for gluten free and non-gluten free alike!

Wow. They really impressed me. Went over and beyond for the safety of my celiac daughter. Even gave us a separate pre package utensil/napkin and dish so if she needed to put her gf cone down, she could use the dish. Went back twice we were so happy. Had gluten free cones that they keep separate. Reassured me of all their steps they take with out me even having to ask.

10/10 recommended as an ice cream place for those with Celiac's!! We stumbled on this place and I was pleasantly surprised by signs for "gluten free cones/cookie bowls" listed. While there the manager literally trained a new employee on the gluten free precautions they take as she was 2 days in. They give you a sandwich bag with a separate spoon and napkin too. High care to cross contamination. Probably the best ice cream place ever for that reason. Cute/fun interior too.

This place really knows how to avoid cross contamination. I placed a take out order specifying I had Celiac disease and before I could ask about the protocol, the employee gave me a run-down of all the things they do to keep it separate (open a new container in the back, have separate scooper, change gloves, and put GF ice-cream in a separate bag). AMAZING.

I went here twice while vacationing in Wildwood. The first time i got vanilla peanut butter in a cookie bowl. The cookie bowl is a great option for someone with celiac but tasted a little fake/dry. The next time I got mint chocolate chip on a cake cone. Both flavors of ice cream were delicious and I was able to get non-GF icecream (in a separate bag) for my fiancé’s family. They had a lot of options for GF, I cant wait to go back.

The place inside is really cool and has a great vibe. They took a lot of precautions for covid so the inside was closed and they were very careful with social distancing and masks.

This place is absolutely amazing for gluten-free and other allergies. The manager spoke with us and understood our concerns completely, having gluten-free cones available was the cherry on top. Absolutely positively go here as often as you can.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are great with allergies! Awesome gf cookie bowls homemade! They get the allergy ice cream from the back. They even give you a special napkin and spoon in a little baggie. This is our go to place when down the shore and my daughter has never gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome ice cream shop with 50’s vintage car booths and memorabilia. They had SEVERAL flavors of gluten free scooped ice cream. They also have dairy, egg and sugar free options. Gluten free cookie bowl was the hit for my daughter but they also have GF sugar and cake cones. Something as simple as safe scooped ice cream is a genuine treat for someone with celiac disease and this place gets it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Allergies have their own menu and they get everything from the back rooms. They have gf cookie bowls and gf cones. They are fantastic with all allergies and super knowledgeable. They have allergy bags with napkins and spoons separated to avoid cross contamination. Def recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is amazing and take their allergies very seriously! Have eaten here twice and did not get sick

The owner has issues with gluten and goes to a lot of trouble to ensure customers with gluten issues won't be sick after a delicious treat!

Wonderful place. Really fun decor, gluten free cones and cookie bowls, and a list of gluten free ice creams. They took out a fresh tub of ice cream to avoid cross contamination. Definitely worth a visit (or two or three) if you’re in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What an amazing find! I’ve been vacationing all week on the shore and really wanted some ice cream. Found this place on this app and it’s all true - they have a separate area for GF goodies and the GF cookie bowl was amazing! You get your own spoon and napkin in a bag and your own server prepares your ice cream away from the gluten containing items. They cater to all food allergies so not only can i eat here with celiac, my peanut allergic son can come, too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great! My 3 year old daughter has celiac and it's always very scary to go out. They have gluten free cones as well as gluten free cookie bowls. They were very careful and even gave us a little bag with her own spoon and napkin to avoid cross contamination. I was very impressed and my little one was happy!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Would highly recommend this place for someone with celiacs! I am gluten free and dairy free and they had dairy free vanilla ice cream too! They had gluten free cones as well as homemade cookie bowls (which was amazing)! They even gave me my own napkin and spoon in a plastic baggie to avoid cross contamination. I was very impressed!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place! We have celiac and they were great with it. Separate menu and they told us which ice creams hadn't been opened yet and were available. Our utensils were in separate bags to avoid contamination. They even had cones and a choc chip cookie bowl that was gf! Worth the ride!

So pleased with our experience here! Not only gluten free options but very sensitive to any & all food sensitivities/allergies. They have separate menus available to break down allergies and cross reference for multiple sensitivities. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Dairy free ice cream available (soy vanilla) and dairy/gluten free cones. Highly recommend for food & awesome staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everyone was very helpful and friendly. They had a special menu of all gluten free ice cream flavors and toppings available. My concern was cross contamination but they assured me the ice cream and toppings were separate. I asked all the usual questions. They really get it and it is common practice for them to serve celiacs. I haven't had 'hard scooped ice cream' outside of my house since my diagnosis. Also offered GF cones.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The girls at the counter were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about providing gluten free food. They offered to get a new tube of ice cream to scoop from to avoid cross contamination. They also gave me utencils and napkin in a separate bag. Highly recommended
