My fiancé is celiac and very sensitive to gluten, even just through cross contamination. He got an ice cream sandwich with gluten free cookies which was amazing that he could also get the ice cream sandwich and he did not feel sick at all or notice any symptoms after eating! Definitely will be coming back again soon.

Review
The first girl I talked to was a little confused with gluten free. She asked her coworker and she knew exactly what she was talking about and made mine in the back out of a fresh batch of icecream so there was zero cross contamination. And the price was reasonable!

Great experience. The fudge cookie was good but I wish I would have had the Chocolate chip option instead. The workers changed gloves and scooped my ice cream fresh from the back to avoid contamination on request. Most importantly I didn’t get sick :)

Very knowledgeable and cautious about cross contamination. They had GF chocolate chip cookie and GF brownie for the ice cream sandwiches. Both were delicious.

I really liked this place! They did a great job with no cross contamination by using a separate area and new gloves. It was a lot better than I expected and the workers were very kind and understanding. I also got the vegan ice cream and it was really good. They offer gluten free and vegan brownies and chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip ice cream.

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.

Review
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.
