Celiac Safety Score

80
Excellent for Celiac

Via Lactea takes gluten-free safety seriously—while not a dedicated GF facility, their thoughtful protocols set them apart. They’ve carved out specific days for making only gluten-free pastries, use a separate cone baker for their signature GF cones, and keep utensils clearly labeled (that’s the kind of detail that makes me breathe easier). Staff are knowledgeable, separate scoops are used for gluten-free ice creams and sorbets, and there’s a cozy sense of welcome that’s hard to find when you’re always on alert for cross-contact. If you’ve ever longed for creative flavors like caramel brownie or banana speculoos in a GF cone without second-guessing, this is the spot that lets you just enjoy dessert again.
