I went here because of the good reviews I have seen regarding safety. They did happily provide an allergen list for their ice cream, which I appreciate, but they said they could not scoop from a fresh tub. They instead said they would sanitize the scoop, scoop back a layer of the ice cream wanted, and scoop from that under layer. I also learned that all of their ice cream is made in the same machine so they can never fully prevent cross contamination. I didn’t feel super safe about it (and honestly wasn’t that hungry), so I went without.

Very helpful. Gave us an allergy list and will use clean scoop. Unsure about cross contamination with scooping prior though.

The raspberry sorbet was amazing. They provided the allergen list. I was a little concerned about the cross contamination.

Wonderful ice cream and staff! They will clean the scooper if you ask. Also, ask for the allergy list to find out what is gluten-free.
