DELICIOUS ice cream! Each flavor is labeled with allergens and it’s truly some of the best ice cream I’ve had. Very unique flavors. You can also buy pints in certain grocery stores. Important to note: tell them that you have a gluten allergy so that that don’t but a waffle come piece in the ice cream

I checked out the flavors online first to see what they had for GF and was amazed at how many flavors there were. At the store, the flavors are clearly marked as GF and/or DF. They got new tubs of ice cream from the back for my two flavors and a fresh scoop.

Really amazing ice cream! They’ve got a big poster up on the wall that lists which of their ice creams are safe for which allergies, and gluten is clearly marked. When I mentioned Celiac Disease, the staffer changed her gloves and went to the back to grab an “allergy tub” of my preferred ice cream and a clean scoop. Disclaimer: Jeni’s makes all of their ice creams (including ones with gluten) in the same production facility, but I am really sensitive and had no issues after eating their gf ice cream.

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.
