Top 50 Gluten-Free Ice Cream Havens Across Canada

Joy Pamnani

Bunner's Bake Shop in Kensington Market is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods. They offer a wide variety of treats, from cakes and cookies to bars and other desserts. I was particularly keen to try their pies, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. This speaks to their popularity, so I'd recommend arriving early for the best selection. Despite missing out on the pie, I was still impressed with the other options available. I especially enjoyed their date squares, which were both sweet and chewy.

vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨 Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.

VERY IMPRESSIVE!! ALL these pastries and desserts are amazing, all gluten-free AND dairy-free. The owners of Vegâteau, Marc-Olivier and Jeremy, have taken the time to perfect special recipes so all their family members with different dietary needs can enjoy ALL these scrumptious treats. Perfect for a Low FODMAP diet!! My husband (who can eat anything, no dietary restrictions) was also super impressed with the delicious tastes and textures. After visiting over 100 coffee, pastry and bakery shops in the last 16 days in Toronto and Montreal, this was by faaaaaaar the absolute BEST!! My personal favorite: Paris-Brest!!! How many desserts can you try in 3 days?!? Lots! It's a good thing we were only near this bakery for a limited time or my waist line would have been in serious trouble. Yummy!!! 😋

Amazing coffee, the biggest ice cream cone I've ever seen and great croissants! Gluten free snacks as well!

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Love, love, love this place. Arguably the best selection of dairy-free ice cream in town, and every flavour I’ve tried has been amazing. My favourite so far is Roseberry Ave (done as an ice cream sandwich). I shop here regularly to satisfy my sweet-tooth, and I don’t think I’ve yet to walk out the door without a double scoop of nice-cream in a gluten-friendly cone and a freezer bag full of pints and sandwiches.

Leanne Gilbert

Delicious!! Love all the gluten free ice cream flavours, but best of all the amazing, fantastic, delicious gluten free waffle cones!! I never thought I'd be able to have a waffle cone again, let alone one that good!! It was excellent! I had the chocolate milk ice cream & the salted caramel ice cream...kicking myself for not buying some of the salted caramel ice cream to take home. Guess I'll just have to go back again soon!

Amber Lynn H

So delicious. Gluten-free Waffle cone and calico ice cream was incredible.

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Ken Johnson

Coffee.... GOOD Gluten free bread..... GOOD Tuna Melt.......GOOD Service...... GOOD 10/10 will return!

Vic Coy

Superb gluten-free options on the menu. The best gluten free pizza and cookies. An excellent small grocery area, as well. Staff are amazing. I work a very physically demanding job and always feel great and energized for my day after eating here.

My new favourite ice cream place in Ottawa! And they have gluten-free waffle cones and GF icecream sandwiches. 🍦🤤🍨

Courtney Lewicki

I don’t normally review , but WOW. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years now and have recently been taking it very seriously. As you can imagine it’s been hard to find things to substitute things with gluten that doesn't taste like cardboard. If your gluten free THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I had a ham panini , cupcake and brownie all gluten free. I was so delighted how fresh and yummy the bread tasted , the cupcake was just right amount of sweet with a light tasting icing. Oh gosh, perfection. I haven’t tried the brownie yet but I’m confident it’s delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but I will 100% be returning here soon, worth the trip. Thank you 3 Sisters!

Friendly atmosphere, food tasted great. My wife and I got the fish n chips as she is sensitive to gluten and they did not disappoint.

Thea-Rose Catto

Best ice cream ever!! The ice cream sandwiches and the cheesecake were both incredible!! Definitely will be back!! (Everything is gluten free, which sometimes people are weird about but I swear everything tastes better because of it and I'm not gluten free!)

Ken Bannon

Gluten free sub was excellent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Path Plant Based Metaphysical Café is truly a treasure in every sense of the word. Their food is always delicious, but what sets them apart is the incredible care and thoughtfulness they show toward their customers. Recently, I asked if they could make their gluten-free nuts and bolts mix—a seasonal favorite of mine—and they joyfully agreed, even though they no longer focus exclusively on gluten-free offerings. When I picked it up, they mentioned they had trouble sourcing some ingredients and had to improvise, but they still put so much love into making it. They even gifted it to me, which was such an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. This kindness turned my entire day around. It reminded me how special this café is, not just for their food (which is amazing—I even got to enjoy one of their gluten-free pretzels, my favorite!), but for the heart they pour into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place with tasty plant-based treats and a team of people who genuinely care, The Path is the place to be. Thank you for always going the extra mile and for being such a blessing to your community!

So happy to find gluten free options. Raspberry cheesecake was good. Nanaimo bar was flavourless. When I was young they had a barely-sweet, chocolate graham cracker base, custard buttercream layer (sweet) and real semi sweet chocolate on top. Now, everywhere not just here, they have no contrast, every layer is sweer, no custard taste and the base is greasy like a keto fat-bomb. Curious if this was a change to the original recipe or new style of Nanaimo bar?

Samantha Norris

Good gelato! And lots of gluten free options, especially a gluten free cone :) dont have a lot of those options back home so it was a nice treat to have that here

Sara Jibb

I wish I had known about this place sooner. It's delicious and entirely GF. I'm 40 and haven't had an ice cream cone since I was diagnosed celiac in my late-teens. I dance and cried this afternoon and spilled chocolate on my white shirt eating that waffle cone! Can't wait to go back!

Sergiy Stupnytskyy

Amazing ice-cream place, with a great choice of ice cream, including dairy free and gluten free options. The garden behind the shop is very cozy and relaxing place to enjoy the purchased desert.

Willis Macpherson

My daughter is celiac and this is the one place we actually travel to for food (fish and chips). We live in Calgary and come here at least 3 times a year 🤤😂 delicious, every time 👌

Julie Harrison

We love coming here. They are celiac friendly as well!!!!

Alana Cober

Favourite ice cream place in the valley. Has great celiac and vegan options. The owner even remembered my allergies.

Dickson Bazuaye

Great place with some Gluten free ice cream.

Elif İlengiz

I ordered for the first time and ate a gluten-free hamburger. It was legendary. Thank you very much. I will always stop by from now on.

Nina Karpoff

Worth the wait. They always have great flavours and gluten free waffle cones. What a fun afternoon, even when it's cold.

Natalia Reszka

Easily the top ice cream in Vancouver! All the flavors are so good and their waffle cones are truly the best I have ever had! The lines always move super quickly and staff are super sweet. This time around had the seasonal almond + sour cherry and brookie dough, which was actually from May’s menu. The brookie dough was UNREAL and it was also gluten free as well which is great that they were considerate of that. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Samantha S

Accidentally stumbled upon this place and super surprised to find out everything is gluten free! All the ice cream flavours and the cones! Staff was super friendly and nice, ice cream itself was so good and they have alcohol infused ones that tasted amazing. I only got the ice cream to go but they have a cute set up for drink pairings as well - I'll definitely be coming back to try that.

River Green

So many gluten free options, including cones! I couldn’t decide what I wanted and the helpful and friendly staff member behind the counter suggested a hojicha affogato 🤤 so good! Will be back.

Excellent homemade ice cream, with lots of unique flavor options, including vegan and gluten free alternatives. Their serving sizes are generous, and they even let you choose up to 2 flavors with a single scoop purchase! The homemade waffle cones are to die for, they smell so wonderful if you happen to come in when they are making them! They have monthly flavors, many of which include local sourced ingredients.

Logan Bartha

Hands down the best Lebanese food we’ve ever eaten! We ordered arayes, batata harra, baba ganoush, zesty eggplant, and halloumi and we devoured it all. The menu has a wonderful variety of options for people who are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free! I’m already planning my next visit, thank you for the best meal ever!

Stephanie Dion

Soooo many vegan options. I only went once and got solid ice cream, but I will need to come back to try the soft serve and sundae. Gluten-free options too. Staff was very knowledgeable. Nice terasse in the back with kids friendly space to play.

Vatanyu Wattanamontre

Been there with family, nice gluten free ice-cream

Abby Nicole

This ice cream is so good that I wanted to go back for a second cone! I did their “pro tip” and got hard chocolate ice cream on the bottom & strawberry soft serve on top. My friend did mint on the bottom and cheesecake strawberry on the top. Both waffle cones are good. The gluten free waffle cone is not celiac friendly (made in the same waffle iron), but the ice cream is safe. There are marshmallows at the bottom of the cones, and the one in the vegan cone is vegan! This was such a lovely summer treat in a nice environment. I can’t recommend it enough.

Mila Andersen

Definitely a go to ice cream place when in Nelson, I got the birthday cake and a delicious surprise of birthday cake chunks came with it. Way to good to skip . The owner and workers are all really nice and if your gluten free or vegan they have options for you as well

I was introduced to chaeban by coworkers, so I decided to take my 12 year old out there. I found that they are a family-friendly location, great for people of all ages. They have tons of different ice cream flavors and a very welcoming staff. My kiddo and I have celiac issues, and we were able to confirm that they make gluten friendly waffle cones as well! - they have a separate press and do their due diligence with minimizing cross contamination. They do have wheat flour and flour products in store, so use your discretion as one would with any restaurant. Once my daughter and I decided what we wanted, they took our our order and then brought it out to our table. There are games(cards, Jenga, sorry, etc) around the shoppe in easy to access areas without being in the way. We had a great time, would highly recommend.

Leanna Oki

Delicious vegan ice cream with tons of flavours and gluten-free options! The portions are also way better than other spots. Highly recommend.

Chantelle Dueck

So happy to find a gluten-free ice cream and waffle cone!

Morgan Forman

Stopped by the shop on 10 Aug 2024 and was excited to see so many flavour options available. I was also impressed to see so many lactose free, gluten free and even some vegan options were available! The in-house made blueberries n' cream and strawberry ice creams are phenomenal!

Bianca Hall

Gluten free cones and really good gluten free ice cream

Mike Melki

My girlfriend & I were looking for a good gluten free option & were willing to road trip for a good gluten free poutine! Found Potates des 4 A's online, read the reviews & decided to try it out! I ordered 1 of every gluten free option available & tried them all - not one was bad! The gf poutine was great - true to all the other reviews that there's no need to order extra cheese 😁 Will road trip it again to come back!

June Baskin

If you're celiac, gluten intolerance go celiac or dermatitis have performance, they do have gluten-free french fries totally gluten-free It's the only thing in their fryers, and also a couple of other items. And of course you've got to try their orange ade!

UmmeHani Kothari

My child has a dairy and gluten allergy but loves ice cream! We came across this place on google and thought we would give it a try. When we walked in my son asked me which one he could have because usually he only gets a choice of 1 or 2 at most he was so confused when I told him he could have pretty much anything. They offer gluten free cones as well which was just the cherry on top. He’s always wanted to order ice cream in a cone but has never been able to. All in all great experience the staff was really nice and there was enough seating etc. Thank you for offering allergy friendly options. You are creating core memories for some families which is invaluable.

Kaitee Mitchell

Long lines, but worth the wait! My kids said it was the best ice cream ever. My husband tried 3 flavours and loved them all. I had the gluten free waffle cone with the vegan pins colada and it was delicious! Will be around again multiple times this summer :)

Kathleen Bruce

Small selection of flavours, but something for everyone. Multiple vegan options and a gluten-free cone. Good outdoor seating area as well

Tellerion

Great tastes but nowhere to sit. Its summer, but nothing outside to be found as you can sit and enjoy the ice cream. People were sitting on a back of their car 🙈 Also no air conditioning inside. I mean, yes, taste of an ice cream great but no air conditioning in the plase which is selling ice cream that oksymoron. Great availability of vegan and gluten free choices though

R Klassen

Friendly staff, delicious food, lots of gluten-free options both on the menu and in-store. Definitely returning.

Alix Schroeder

I love this place! The gluten free vegan poutine is INCREDIBLE! I have no idea how they make their cheese curds so realistic, the first time I tried it I thought they made a mistake but nope it's just amazing. I just wish I could get it back home in penticton. The staff and owner are super nice and friendly. Only "downside" is the place is small inside so don't plan to eat in when it's busy, but that really doesn't matter.

Glenn Chenier

Very nice home cooked meals. Good gluten free options in a separate menu.
