What a find with many gluten feee options. They encourage me to try multiple samples. The flavors are rich and tasty. Just as good today as it was last time I visited this super premium ice cream parlor in the eighties. 👍👍

I've been here many times. The staff is usually good about getting ice cream from new containers and using a new scooper, but one time the woman behind the counter refused to serve me, and I had to ask two other staff to help me. Still, definitely safe for Celiac - just watch out and make sure they actually do go to the back to get ice cream from a new container.

They have a list of gluten free ice cream flavors and when we asked, they were willing to scoop from a new ice cream tub.

We weren’t sure if there was gluten free ice cream, but walked in and then menu had ice creams labeled whether it was gluten free or not. I let the server know I was gluten free and she went in the back and changed gloves. She also let me know that one flavor I ordered didn’t have a second box so there was potential for cross contamination. They seemed knowledgeable about allergies! The ice cream was delicious.

They always have multiple flavors marked gf, and fun flavors too. If you ask they'll wash a scoop and go to the back to scoop from a fresh container. They even have gf cones!

They do a good job with GF (and DF, too). The workers are mostly high school kids but, when you tell them it’s for an allergy, they all follow good safety protocols immediately. Well trained.

Amazing for celiacs. They had a bunch of gf flavors and as soon as I said I had a gluten allergy they said they’d get me ice cream from an unopened batch and clean a spoon for me without me having to ask. Great service!
