I’ve been here a dozen times and have never had an issue. The flavor cards in front of the freezer show what is GF. Everyone who works there as gladly used a new scoop from a new carton they got from the back.

Really great ice cream and costumer service. They have gf clearly labeled on the menu and scooped from a new container from the back with a clean scoop to prevent cross-contact.

Numerous times, a kind friend or coworker will stop by here and ask for dairy-free and gluten-free for me, and NUMEROUS TIMES the employees have sent them with the Texas Sheet Cake, which, just as it sounds, has ribbons of cake swirled in it. There are gluten-free options here, but it’s clear to me that gluten-awareness isn’t a part of their training program.

They are great. If you ask them for an “allergy scoop” they will use a different scoop and open a new container of the GF flavor that you would like to order.

I was excited to try their ice cream but they use the same scoop in all the ice creams so even the gluten free options are contaminated. Do not recommend if you have an allergy

Fantastic ice cream & nice selection of drinks. Do let them know to keep it gluten free when you order or they will automatically garnish with a wedge of waffle cone. Nice, stylin’ outdoor patio

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.
