Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

Our daughter is now df along with gf & they had 1 item on the menu, the dairy free hot fudge sundae that they said was gf also. They seemed helpful with our allergy when we stopped in, although they weren’t busy at the time. We both enjoyed every bite & had no problems afterwards.

They use Dryer’s ice cream which is GF unless it has cookies or something in it that wouldn’t be. They brought the tub of ice cream out to me to read the label and ingredients. I had a delicious root beer float.

Not celiac friendly at all. All they had was the raspberry sorbet and a nondairy ice cream. Nothing else.

Being a Southern California native I look forwards to my annual Disneyland trip. Every restaurant and food stand in the park always goes out of their way to accommodate my celiac requirements. This is not the case here, I asked for a scoop of vanilla in a cup and if they could use a separate scooper. The staff made it clear that they will NOT accommodate allergies/celiac. They will not get a separate scooper for their ice cream so cross contamination is unavoidable. This is the only place in the park that will not accommodate allergies.

Celiac friendly?

No

they use Dreyers ice cream and they're fudge is GF. had a banana split after talking to the manager to ensure she understood what I needed to be safe. they do rinse the scoop between flavors and there's only two flavors on the line with gluten in them so I took a chance and thank God I didn't get sick. I'm fairly sensitive but if you're super sensitive then it might not be a good idea.
