Automatically when I said that we have a allergy they said that have allergy containers that they scoop from for both ice cream and toppings.

Staff is super helpful. A great list in store with ingredients/allergens. Will go down to the basement and scoop from a fresh container. Plus gluten free cookies and cream ice cream and cones! .

GLUTEN FREE COOKIES AND CREAM!!!! (ask for Gluten Free Hydrox ice cream). Need I say more!? Gluten free cones and very allergy conscious regarding cross contamination. This is our go-to ice cream place, have yet to find any place else like it! The best!!

Delicious, staff were knowledgeable and did a clean scoop from the back, pulled toppings from separate bins. The lack of an allergy list for the ice creams was the only drawback.

Excellent for all sorts of allergies! Staff are helpful and we'll trained on allergy protocols (wash hands, clean gloves, clean scooper), and they have a designated allergy freezer they pull from for any allergy customers. I was able to get DF ice cream on a GF cone, which was delicious, and properly filled all the way to the tip! And my nut-allergic spouse was also able to safely get a treat for himself. Nobody was rushing and they clearly took their jobs seriously. Highly recommend!

The staff was very helpful and understood my concerns. They have a list of gf ice creams, and all the gf ice creams are scooped from a fresh container in the back after the staff washes their hands and changes gloves. They also have gf cones!

Went here as a kid and didn’t think i’d be able to come after I developed my allergies! They were so helpful with my gluten and dairy allergies- making sure they used different scoops that had not been used and going into the back to get ice cream that hadnt yet been scooped out of. Vegan hot fudge is to die for!!
