I have loved Home Sweet Cone Ice Cream for a long time. Tonight was the first time I’ve been there since my diagnosis; I told the young employee I have celiac, and she not only used a sanitized scoop but opened up a new container of the *delicious* GF coffee-heath ice cream.

Great experience. Delicious ice cream and all flavors are marked if they are gluten free or not. Told them about a "gluten alregy" and they immediately got a new scoop and scooped from the back to avoid cross contamination. Made my celiac son very happy!

Excellent. About half of their flavors were GF. They also had to that were GF/DF/vegan, made with coconut cream. I ordered one of those - raspberry Oreo. Delicious. They have a sign saying they will pull a new bucket of your flavor from the back and get a new scoop with allergies. When I asked about it, the girl taking my order said she would get a new scoop and hesitated on the new bucket. The girl next to her immediately jumped in and took over. They do have GF cones but they wanted me that they are made on the same press as the regular cones, and they were all sitting on the same tray. The ice cream was amazing, service was great (might need to self advocate), portions generous. Will go back!
