What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gooey Butter Cake ice cream (gluten-free)
- Birthday Cake ice cream (gluten-free)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk if protocols aren’t followed or if there are operational gaps.
- The strongest safety signals come from explicit practices: staff change gloves, use new scoops, scoop from back unopened tubs, and avoid cross-contact for allergy orders.
- There are occasional reports of training gaps or inconsistent adherence, which can lead to less safe experiences if not addressed. In practice, customers who request allergy scoops or back-tub scooping consistently report positive outcomes.
- A few reviews mention waffle cone garnishes appearing in cups unless explicitly declined; always state you do not want cone garnish and request an allergy scoop if safety is a priority.
