CREAM Cupertino tempts with the rare promise of gluten-free ice cream sandwiches—a treat most of us gave up on long ago. While they offer gluten-free cookies and some ice cream flavors, the real story lies in the inconsistent safety practices: some staff are willing to change gloves and use a fresh scoop, but others seem puzzled or dismissive when asked about celiac needs. Cookies are often stored near gluten-containing treats, and there’s no dedicated prep area or clear cross-contamination protocols in place. If you’re celiac and craving a nostalgic dessert, it’s a place for those who are extra vigilant and willing to advocate fiercely for themselves—just don’t expect a stress-free experience every time.
