The Sansglu take

The place

Storefront ice cream and bakery running fully gluten-free. In-house baking, dedicated fryer, separate GF kitchen. Owner built the whole operation around wheat intolerance.

The gluten-free setup

100% gluten-free ingredients sourced from certified suppliers. Ice cream sandwiches made in a dedicated GF environment. Dedicated fryer for fried items. Staff trained on allergen handling and cross-contact prevention.

What to order

The ice cream sandwiches are the draw here. Pony Pops (vanilla or chocolate) paired with in-house baked GF cookies hits different when you've spent years locked out of that formula. Key Lime Piecicle and Banana Cream Piecicle offer something beyond straight vanilla. Vegan Pops for a non-dairy angle.

The move

Go on a weekday afternoon when the line moves fast and the sandwiches are fresh from the baker.
