Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free flavors exist at this shop (all flavors are gluten-free except the Oreo flavor).
- Oreo flavor contains gluten.
- GF cones are not available, so ice cream is typically served in a cup for those avoiding gluten.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This inherently carries a cross-contact risk that isn’t fully mitigated by the evidence.
- The Oreo flavor contains gluten, which must be avoided by people with celiac disease.
- A staff-notification allergy approach is mentioned, but explicit, comprehensive cross-contamination precautions aren’t detailed.
- Dine-in service is not available; options are takeout, curbside, or delivery, which can influence how ingredients and equipment are managed.
