Celiac safety profile
KIC's Ice Cream
Ice Cream Shop
2500 Padre Blvd Unit 2, South Padre Island, TX 78597
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free ice cream flavors (labeled on the wall/menu)
- Pineapple dole whip (gluten-free and dairy-free)
- Butter pecan (GF per a reviewer’s experience)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which raises cross-contamination risk for celiac diners.
- At least one flavor (chocolate) was noted as potentially containing gluten by a reviewer; always verify ingredients at the time of order.
- A reviewer mentioned a new scooper being used for their GF order, which is a positive signal for attention to cross-contact, but it cannot be assumed to be consistently applied for all GF items.
