What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free cookies (two explicit options noted in several experiences) used to build ice cream sandwiches.
- Gluten-free ice cream flavors (various options; flavors are occasionally labeled GF in practice).
- Gluten-free and vegan cookie options, paired with dairy-free or GF ice cream choices.
- GF items are often described as being kept separate from non-GF items, with staff either changing gloves or scooping from back containers when allergies are mentioned.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- While dedicated gluten-free facilities aren’t claimed for this location (and some reviews note that it’s not a fully dedicated GF site in every city), many staff actions point toward deliberate cross-contamination controls (glove changes, separate prep areas, new ice cream tubs).
- Occasional negative comments exist, citing concerns about staff confidence, limited GF options, or moments of ambiguity during busy times.
- A news item within the collected information notes a location-related closure, which could affect current operations; however, the internal records show ongoing safety practices at the time of the most recent experiences.
