What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free ice cream flavors (made in-house)
- Gluten-free sorbet flavors
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is documented discussion about gluten-free cones potentially being produced on shared equipment with regular cones, which could pose cross-contact risk for celiac diners.
- Some recent experiences emphasize proactive containment measures (new containers, changed gloves, fresh scoops, labeled flavors) which reduce risk when you request them or when staff are attentive.
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means extra vigilance and clear communication with staff are wise.
