Gluten free flavors are marked, but they do use the same ice cream scoop for all flavors. I asked if they could scoop from a new container in the back and the employee rolled his eyes at me. He also didn’t wear gloves or wash his hands… he acted like it was a huge inconvenience even though we were the only ones there. Other locations have been super nice to me, so maybe I had high expectations.

Everything that is gf is marked, along with V options and all ingredients listed! Just didn’t get a cone (not gf). The take-home pints are perfect!

every flavor I tried was SUPER sweet, a little too much for my taste, but the creaminess was awesome and there were a TON of GF options. Staff is knowledgeable and got an allergy scoop from the back containers!

Not a lot of options for gluten free people. Nothing is labeled on their menu and all the labels by the ice cream itself were wrong. Of the flavors I could eat, it was pretty average. Creamier than most ice creams but nothing super exceptional. I got peanut butter and chocolate.

This is the perfect Ice Cream shop for gluten free folks! They have the gluten free ice creams labeled as so and if you tell them you have Celiac's Disease/sever gluten allergy - they will scoop from a fresh tub with a clean ice cream scoop. Yes there are some gluten containing flavors/cones, but it's so easy to eat here without fear of cross contact thanks to their awesome protocols and incredibly helpful staff! My whole family went here (6 of us) but only 2 of us needed the gluten free options and we all loved it!

Like the last review says, they have tons of gluten free flavors. Even ones that include gluten free cake pieces! Definitely recommend the birthday cake flavor. I said I had a gluten allergy and they said they would use a fresh scoop and container from the back before I even had to ask.
