The clerk was a little short when she said they sold out of gluten free cookies earlier. Not a great experience. She didn't even offer me ice cream. My family walked out.
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.
Servers were knowledgable; changed scoops and got fresh ice cream from the back. They have a gf and vegan cookie, and three gf ice cream flavors as marked on the ice cream case.

The gf cookies are soft and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable about which ice creams are safe. Love it!
They have one gluten-free cookie (chocolate chip) and several gf ice creams. When I asked for the gf cookie then mentioned an ice cream, the server said it wasn't gf. Then she asked if I needed the ice cream scoop rinsed first. Tasted great!
Great GF chocolate chip cookies, made aa ice cream sandwich out of them. That is the only cookie that is GF.

Got a gluten free ice cream sandwich! They were knowledge about cross contamination and the cookies were comparable to the Sweet Lauren’s break and bake. Didn’t get sick and will be going back!!
I went in last week with my boyfriend and did the whole gluten free spiel. I was expecting that it would be an experience that I was debating if it was worth it or not. Instead, the girl behind the counter was pretty knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions I had.
They have 2 different flavours of gluten free cookies which are made in house (that were SO good!! They were so chewy and soft and they knew exactly how to make them well).
They bake them in a dedicated area and while they all share the same oven, the cookies have a dedicated cookie sheet and they make sure to bake the gluten free cookies at a different time from the gluten cookies. I also had to ask for gluten free cookies because they keep them in the back so the cookies aren’t anywhere near the gluten cookies.
They only unfortunately have 3 gf flavours of ice cream but they assumed I needed the allergy scoop and I didn’t even have to ask!!
I am not the type to write reviews at all but I was seriously impressed by this place. I wanted to wait a week before writing to make sure I didn’t have a reaction and I am completely fine. I also discovered this place from a friend who is also celiac with extremely severe reactions when glutened.
Very yummy GF and vegan cookies! 🥰
My daughter and I are both symptomatic. We had the gf chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and toppings. It was delicious! Huge though, we probably could have shared one.
Very friendly staff, but all they had were the gluten free/vegan brownie cookies and no chocolate chip. The cookie was very burnt and hard as a brick. 10 year celiac and I would say this had to be one of my least favorite experiences. I had high expectations with the good reviews, but very let down.
