Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

First time since being diagnosed Celiac that I’ve felt safe eating at an ice cream shop with my family. I explained that I had celiac so there could be no cross contamination and they seemed knowledgeable. Many of the flavors are gluten free and they will prepare an “allergy” scoop (yeah, I know it’s not an allergy) in other room. The gooey butter cake was decadent. Staff said customers are always amazed it is gluten free. I didn’t react at all after eating. Please note: I did not ask deep questions about the process and how they make it because they seemed to know what they were talking about. Ask questions and judge for yourself. Look forward to hearing what other celiacs think.

I just saw they have a gluten free menu online!

Came here on the e-ride app while vacationing in Carlsbad.

Super cute cosmic themed 🥰 ice cream 🍦 shop! Request a new scoop. The staff is super accommodating. All ice cream is labeled gf and or df! Lots of fun flavors to choose from.

They also have space dust - rice crisp topping that’s gf - definitely add it on!

This place is a chain that started in Ohio, it has lots of gf flavor options (even things that don’t seem like it, including gooey butter cake!) and good allergen procedures in place to avoid cross contamination. Staff knows what to do if you just tell them you have an allergy.

Most of their ice cream flavors are gluten free and they use separate scoopers to reduce cross-contamination. They don’t have gluten free cones, but the ice cream was delicious. They also have dairy free options.

this ice cream shop has flavors that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free and dairy free. They knew about allergens. They used a separate spoon, wash their hands and washed the spoon. They say that those ice creams are allergen only and they keep separate scoops for them.

if you didn’t feel safe with any potential cross contamination, they also sell ice cream by the pint that you can take home.
