Salt & Straw

When informed that my child had celiac disease they got a new scoop and a new pint of ice cream to serve hers up from. They have many options for gluten free. Their flavors are sometimes quirky and odd but some of them are more normal and all that I have tried are rich and delicious. We have been several times with our child with celiac disease that is very sensitive to cross contamination and she has never felt ill after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was well informed and accommodating. I chose my ice cream flavor, they confirmed it was GF, and since I told them I have celiac they opened a new pint and brought out a new scoop to prevent cross contamination. They also informed me that machines are washed between flavors during production.

Update: finally decided to test with my Nima sensor and two of the three flavors (I bought pints) tested positive for gluten.

Staff seemed to lack confidence in what was GF and cross contamination risk, but they were nice and got the manager. I felt comfortable because I’ve eaten at numerous locations without an issue.

Watch out for cross contamination as the scoopers are left in the same water for all ice creams.

I told them I had a gluten allergy so they used a fresh scooper and scooped out of a fresh pint for me.
