“GF” cakes are made in a shared kitchen in shared equipment. Had a very long conversation with the woman who bakes them. Anything prepared or sliced in-house is bound to contain CC due to the VERY tiny food prep. The sandwiches are all prepared on the same surface, gluten or not. The overall feeling I got was that it’s just a bother. After a long conversation with the owners, they did express that there is NO way to prevent CC. They seemed mildly annoyed at my questions, but cordial. My health is more important than grilled cheese & ice cream.

3 stars for customer service; 2 for food. They were nice, but I really didn't like the strawberry cake. I wanted to, but the cake part was seriously dry. Frosting was decent, though.

Gluten free ice cream cones and grilled cheese sandwiches. Also serving gluten free cakes from a local bakery. Today the cake was cookies and cream or blueberry lemon. I've also seen Black Forest cake. Also today - gluten free tomato bisque. So a three cheese grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and ice cream for dessert. Perfect. (I'm not sure - and did not ask - about potential cross-contamination on the griddle)
