Amazing place for DF ice cream! Especially the coconut one. And they warmed up the GF cookie they had and made me a little sundae.
The gluten free coconut chocolate chip cookie was amazing.
Their menu is labeled and most of their ice cream is gluten free.
Not sure how I feel about this place. I’m pretty sure gloves were not changed when my son’s ice cream was scooped and the employees were handling cones also. I wrapped a bunch of napkins around his cup and washed his spoon before giving it to him. Next time we will get either the Mai Kai jar so that I know it has been fixed ahead of time or the ice cream sandwich. They were out of it, unfortunately. I do think I would feel safer with one of those although he did well with the scoop.

Cute little beach cream shack. Had several GF options clearly marked. I had Mai Kai ice cream with a warm GF chocolate chip coconut cookie. It was delicious with no reaction.
Fun little place for ice cream. I got the coconut choc chip cookies, super good, huge! The few Gf ice cream flavors we tried were great. Not to spendy. Staff was knowledgable and friendly.
Went for the gluten free ice cream sandwich and it did not disappoint! It was pre-made so felt safe from the preparation side. The person taking the order knew exactly what gluten free meant and spoke highly of the ice cream sandwich. It was also a lot bigger than expected. If you are gluten green you must try it!!
We loved this little ice cream stop! For dairy free, I had the non-dairy toasted coconut ice cream with crushed Oreo topping. For gluten free, my husband enjoyed caramel pecan twist and coconut pineapple.
Used a fresh scoop, washed hands and used new gloves. There is a risk of contamination, but I didn't have any issue and the cashier was lovely/knew how to handle someone with celiac.
Soft serve is likely safe. Would not trust any of the other marked GF ice cream flavors/types. Does not offer GF cones
I was told nothing was safe but the soft serve due to cross contamination. Ice cream is not made there, but in a facility that could have gluten. The worker had a relative with Celiac and commiserated with me but did not feel anything was safe ( lactose intolerant too )
Brooke helped me and was amazing and knowledgeable about Celiac. This place had several GF options but is not for those with Celiac. Cross contamination is a huge issue and would not trust anything but soft serve. I would like to thank Brooke from saving me from a horrible exposure.
They washed their hands, changed gloves, washed the scoop & got fresh ice cream from the back. ice cream was delicious, big portions and they had gluten free cones! Will definitely be back next time in town!
Get the coconut pineapple it’s soooo good. They clearly make what’s GF!
I walked 7 miles to taste the ice cream. It did not disappoint
Mai Kai Coconut is a dream-soo delish! A good amount of choices on the menu, all clearly marked GF.
The best ice cream around! I had the Coffee ice cream and friend had the Cherry Infusion... both were delicious and huge! Completely satisfied!
Had a scoop of yummy coffee ice cream. They have many choices.
GF marked on menu. Very good coffee flavor.
They offer gf hand dip, but I got the soft serve icecream (also gf) and it was delicious!
Yes!!! Everything was labeled and the young ladies working there knew exactly what was safe for me. The Mai Kai Jar was AMAZEBALLS!
Great place! The gf ice cream cookie was amazing. Definitely big enough for 2. No worries with cross contamination. They were very careful.
Ice cream sandwich was huge and great. I wouldn't trust anything else. On a second trip they were out of the sandwiches and offered to make me one on the spot but after some questions, it was clear it would be cross contaminated. You can also just get one of the cookies the sandwich is made with, which are really good too.
So I should have read the reviews first and realized my mistake after I took a bite of the cherry oblivion (GF). If cross contamination isn’t an issue for you then you’re fine but DON’T do the regular scoop ice cream. While they do have an “allergy scoop” that they clean separately and sanitize they don’t only use that scoop for the GF flavors. They have the standard metal scoops they use for all the ice creams and then rinse them all in a little soak sink. I definitely got sick this evening from it. However I was with my family and everyone loved their flavors and the portions are huge! I should have just stuck with the soft serve like I normally do. But would be willing to try the sandwich everyone else is raving about.
Gf ice cream sandwich was HUGE and delicious! Didn't make me sick. I wouldn't trust the hand scooped ice cream. One scoop used for all the flavors, so definitely cross contaminated. (I'm a celiac.)
One word: WOW! The GF cookie ice cream sandwich is gigantic but worth every bite! It can easily be shared between two people. Hey offer several ice cream flavors also and all are clearly marked GF.
Huge gluten free chocolate chip coconut ice cream sandwich that was amazing!! We waited in line for 25 minutes, but so worth it! You have to go!
Awesome place! Great GF ice cream sandwich, good size also!
The GF ice cream cookie sandwich can feed two adults!!!
Just tried to go tonight and they have eliminated several of their dairy-free options including coconut milk-based. They still have them posted on their website, and the customers in front of us were also seeking this and were disappointed. Worthless trip! We walked away without anything.
So good! Cookies are homemade on their ice cream sandwiches. Portions are big!
Always make a stop here when we are in town. Their GF ice cream sandwiches are a favorite! All GF options are delicious. The staff is always kind, knowledgeable and understanding and always willing to double check ingredients. Such a gem!
I was so excited to try their gluten free ice cream sandwich. It was all I could talk about doing when I got to cocoa beach I'm going to eat a huge gf ice cram sandwich I don't get to have things like this very often in fact it's been 9 years ago that I found out that I had celiac. Anyways THEY WERE OUT! In fact the kid working said they were almost out of everything! How could this happened it's advertised all over! So disappointed I did end up getting some just ok ice cream wasn't impressed for the price:(
Excellent ice cream and treats and they even make their own gf ice cream cookie sandwich with two huge gf chocolate chip cookies! It looked delicious but was too big for me to try this time as we had just eaten lunch.
