Was really happy to have a few dairy-free flavors to choose from. I got the cold-brew fudge and pistachio. Both were tasty.

Absolutely wonderful! I found this place for my mother, hoping she could be able to enjoy ice cream without worrying. This was the first time she had a waffle cone in nearly 20 years. She almost cried. -Everything is gluten free -Lovely atmosphere -Dairy free options No adverse reactions from a symptomatic celiac, she was completely fine. Totally recommend!

The server was helpful, told me they’re not “gluten free certified” but that all the ice creams on offer that day were indeed gluten free. I had a huge icecream, it was delicious and had no reaction or symptoms from it

Sooo good! I have not been able to eat ice cream in a cone for over a decade. How amazing to find a Gluten Free ice cream place. There is no gluten in the shop (they just don't have a certification so can't advertise as such). They also clearly label their flavors for common allergens.

Really neat and different flavour options (the eucalyptus mint chip and bees knees in particular) and so nice to be able to try anything on the menu. GF waffle cones do sell out so try to come more than 30 min before close if you want one.

So happy to be able to order anything off the menu and not worry about it having gluten or cross contamination. Loved being able to have a gluten free waffle cone - it was delicious. We went here twice during our two night visit and I was so sad I didn’t think to go again on the last day on our way out of town.

All ice cream, toppings, and cones are GF! Bees knees is delicious and available regular or dairy free. Tip: get a split scoop (two mini scoops to make one single scoop to try 2 flavors). Definitely a must try when in Monterrey!

Entire place is gluten free, which is great! They don’t allow testers which is a bummer. Their POG and Bee’s Knee’s Ice Cream were delicious, but dark chocolate was just ok. They also have GF waffle cones—wish we had tried them!

Yum! The Bees Knees was one of the best DF ice creams I've had, and loved that I could get it on a GF cone (made with oat flour). Delicious. My husband loved his dairy Bees Knees as well. It's a great little shop with very nice people working there.

everything they make is without gluten but then they have these allergy warning signs placed all over for the items they dont make in house - so its not a dedicated facility! ice cream was okay, the brownie pieces were so dry, but the GF waffle cone was excellent!

I had the coffee blondie with gf blondie pieces, which was delicious. All their ice creams are gf but they do have regular cones and cookies so it is not a fully gluten free store. I tasted my friend’s Bees Knees which they are known for and it was amazing! Think a sweeter vanilla (vanilla+honey) with sweet bits (their honeycomb candy)

I had the cold brew coffee in a waffle cone, which was delightful. It just might be my favorite GF dessert of all time.

We stayed in Monterey for 3 nights, and we visited revival all 3 nights. The Bee’s Knees ice cream is OUT OF THIS WORLD. My daughter really enjoyed the eucalyptus mint chip. The gf waffle cones are so good. I think I read a review on here that said they are made with oat…I didn’t ask and we didn’t have any issues (very sensitive). The line was out the door every time we came and it was worth the wait.

I’m sure this ice cream place is delicious, but it is not safe for celiacs. I talked to an employee who said that the ingredients they buy have been cross contaminated. There are great gf places in monterey, but I would not recommend this one.

Delicious ice cream with variety of flavors and waffle bowl was GF and good too. Mint chip and chocolate peanut butter tasted great!

Restaurant says that while ingredients for all products are GF, they won't call it certified gluten free because of the possibility of ingredients being in warehouses with gluten.

GO HERE!!! DO NOT SKIP!!! The entire place is GF. They have GF waffle cones and chips. They had FOUR GFDF ice cream choices! Their most popular flavor is Bees Knees, which is honeycomb and OUT OF THIS WORLD!! They had a regular and dairy free Bees Knees! I CANNOT wait to go back. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. It’s the kind of place you come across that is PERFECT for a kid with food allergies. Do not skip this place!

Great spot. They have lots of vegan options too. And the GF cones were super yummy.

I have Celiac and had no reaction.

They do have signage that indicates they are not certified GF, but I talked to the owner who said all their ingredients are certified GF.

*Update: definitely NOT celiac safe. I emailed the restaurant after my experience and this was the response from the owners: "Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We do not use gluten in our products but we are not a gluten free facility. This is why we specifically note in our in-store signage, and on-line, that if you have severe allergies to please take precautions."

I have celiac disease and I tried this restaurant after I saw it advertised as being dedicated gluten free. I talked to the staff member at the counter who I told that I have celiac disease, and she assured me that everything in the store was gluten free and safe for me. I purchased 4 pints of ice cream (all different flavors) and then came home and tested them with my Nima gluten sensor as a precaution, and it found gluten. To confirm, I used a second test and it also found gluten. I threw away all 4 of the pints without trying them - I wouldn't recommend this as a safe place for someone with celiac disease.
