I was so excited when we walked in to see I could get an ice cream sandwich gf. However we went a little later in the day and they were all out. It looked so good and the ice cream flavors were marked clearly. Maybe call before you go to make sure they still have gf cookies

They have GF/ Vegan cookies for their I cream sandwiches and had a soy milk ice cream. It was nice to have a GF, dairy free option. They were attentive to each customer but they are strictly enforcing a limit of 6 people in at a time.

This is a ice cream cookie sandwich shop! They have a GF cookie that is AMAZING. When I told the staff that I was Celiac, she immediately changed her gloves and offered to scoop my ice cream out of a fresh container to avoid cross contamination. It was so nice to interact with restaurant staff that went above and beyond to keep me safe! I had such a great experience and was thrilled to be able to eat what my friends were having!

This is a cookie ice cream sandwich place, but I was surprised to see it has gluten free chocolate chip cookies! Upon request they were happy to get my ice cream from the back instead of from the line, and using a freshly washed scoop, to avoid cross contamination. The cookies were incredible, so good I'd suspect they weren't really gluten free except that I felt fine the next day! They have a press thing which optionally heats up the cookies quickly for the sandwiches, I didn't risk it but they do seem to use wax paper to keep the cookies from touching that directly do that might even be fine.

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.
