What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free ice cream flavors (most flavors are naturally gluten free; avoid those with obvious gluten mix-ins like cookie dough or brownie bites).
- For GF service, staff are reported to use a new scoop for GF flavors and may scoop from a fresh back container when requested.
- Note: No gluten-free cones are available.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists, especially with toppings and shared equipment.
- While there is evidence of careful handling (new scoops, fresh containers for GF flavors), some toppings could pose a risk if not independently prepared.
- Convenience items like cones are not gluten-free, which limits the safe options beyond plain GF ice cream cups.
