Wonderful. Two gluten free cookies with gluten free ice cream. They have an up to date allergy paper showing what is safe. He changed his gloves and assemble cookie sandwich in the back using ice cream that has not my been touched and gluten free cookies. He did not need to be prompted delicious !!!

Had the BEST ice cream sandwich here! So fun to get to have one again for the first time since my diagnosis. They were super duper careful once I said I had celiac - the gf cookies (2 types) are on a tray up above all the other cookie trays, so no crumb concerns; changed to fresh gloves, got a fresh container of ice cream out of the back with a fresh scoop and knew which flavors were safe; and had its own tray to keep everything safe from crumbs in the area. Also, the gf cookie dough is made in a separate gf location and then baked as a separate batch at the store so as not to get mixed with the regular cookies that are made and baked at the ice cream shop.

They had 2 flavors of gluten free cookie to build your ice cream sandwich with. They were very aware of cross contamination and when we ordered the gluten free cookies they asked if it was for an allergy and said they keep dedicated ice cream containers in the back to avoid any potential cross contamination with the items up front. The employee changed out her gloves before building the gluten free ice cream sandwich as well. Cookies and I cream were very tasty.

First this is the best ice-cream I ever had, and I have had a lot of ice-cream from all over the world. It was deliverd to my door yesterday on Mothers Day from my son who lives in Auston Texas. The young girl who did the delivery (sorry I did not get her name), was so happy and sweet made me feel so good with her wonderful Mothers Day present Mint Chocolate Ice-cream.

I called my son and he also said that when he placed order, he also felt really great so wonderful service, best product ever and delivery with a great smile. What can you ask for more, nothing.

The ice-cream lover.

Very few GF options. They had chocolate chip cookies and I think 4 ice cream flavors. I would recommend getting no toppings as they it is all cross contaminated. It was very good just not a lot of options and high risk of contamination.

It’s great but they don’t always have gf cookies and there is a ton of cross contamination in the ice cream. Almost all flavors have wheat in them and all the others are processed on the same equipment.

Everything's labeled, but the staff making our sandwiches seemed to confuse gluten free for vegan. Gluten free cookies were kept separately from the other cookies and the vegan ice cream was kept separately from the other ice creams, but a common ice cream scoop was used.

A master class in food safety from the young man who took my order.

When I identified as celiac he immediately changed gloves and explained to me which ice cream flavors and cookies were gluten free. He then served me from a fresh container in the back to limit the risk of cross contamination.

All this on a busy Saturday night! What a hero. Very grateful for this attentive and caring server - and the wonderful ice cream sandwich as well.
