Most of the ice cream flavours are gluten free (though be sure to check- chocolate brownie isn't etc.) and they were very helpful/ considerate about my allergy. Very busy, popular place. Interesting unique flavours. They even offered to give me mine from a fresh barrel with a fresh ice cream scoop to avoid cross contamination. I didn't ask for this, but I think that means it would be celiac friendly if you needed it to be. Had it many times and always feel fine after.

I had such a good experience here!! The staff washed hands, used clean scoops, and opened new pints for me to sample ice cream with, and then to fill my cup of ice cream. Super knowledgeable about GF (including cross contamination) and the ice cream was delicious!

They have their allergens listed on their website for each flavor! I told them I had a gluten allergy and she went to get a fresh scoop from the back to prevent cross contamination!

I was able to look online ahead of time to see ingredient lists. I confirmed with the server inside that the flavor I wanted was gluten free, he was pretty informative and knew the product. He did scoop from same tub as everyone else's ice cream.

Gf not labeled on the menu, however the employees who hand out samples have a guide right on top of each item to let you know. I have also found looking online is a easy way to see.

Salt & Straw takes allergens pretty seriously, this was yet another successful experience at one of their locations. Long line but it moved quickly.

Upon ordering simply mentioned celiac/gluten 'allergy' - I knew what I wanted was GF before I arrived, half honey lavender half strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper. My sever wanted to double check anyway on his allergen list which I appreciated. He asked if he could make the rest of my parties ice cream then would do mine in the back from unopened containers/clean scoop. It took quite some time so I have faith their implemented allergen procedures were followed. Ice cream was excellent, especially the strawberry my favorite! Many GF options available!

So many ice cream places will not accommodate me on getting ice cream from clean containers in the back so I really appreciate Salt & Straw making this easy at any location. Training goes a long way and it shows!
