Will use new ice cream from tub. Cookies are delicious! 10/10 recommend!
Super delicious soft and gooey GF cookies! They were also conscious of using new ice cream to top the cookie to avoid cross-contamination.
Employees were very knowledgeable about gluten free products. They got new ice cream and the cookie from the back and changed gloves before serving my food. I had the gf chocolate chip cookie and mint chocolate chip ice cream both were delicious.

Had an exceptional experience. Gluten free chocolate chip cookies were chewy and moist. Server went to the back and opened a new container of ice cream so there would be no chance of cross-contamination. Only the one choice of cookies, but several options for ice cream to make an ice cream sandwich. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.
I had a great experience here: the gluten free chocolate chip cookies are kept separate from the regular cookies (sealed and kept high above the ovens), the worker changed her gloves and asked (before I could say anything) if I wanted ice cream from an unopened ice cream tub, and she warmed the cookies in a separate warmer. I am very sensitive to cross contamination, and I am happy to say that I did not react!
They have GF chocolate chip cookies and have certain ice cream flavors that are marked GF on the actual ice cream counter. The cookies are delicious hot with vanilla ice cream! It helps with my dessert cravings! No reactions, but if you are super sensitive to cross contamination, I would ask some questions!

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.
