This is the most allery friendly place i have ever been to. Thr food is great but if you are dairy free or gluten-free you can enjoy almost everything they offer including ice cream cones which is hard to find. The service was great with the person that served us making me feel like im at home.

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

This is my FAVORITE ice cream. I’m pretty sure my boyfriend and I go here weekly so I’m surprised I waited so long to write a review. They always have rotating flavors in addition to their staple flavors (get the cookie dough, it’s the best out there), gluten free flavors, and they always have a unique vegan flavor. They also have amazing ice cream cakes, ice cream sandwiches, and cookies.

I have multiple food allergies and intolerances, including milk and gluten, and this place is a dream come true for me. I had one scoop vanilla and one scoop pistachio-almond in a bowl, with a gluten-free dark matter cone. My partner had the coquito flavored one, which tasted just like real coquito. The vanilla was everything a vanilla icecream should be and more. It was seriously the most perfectly balanced vanilla icecream. The pistachio-almond had a delightful sweet toasted almond flavor, with the pistachio being more subtle, that reminded me of pignoli cookies. There were a liberal amount of almonds in the icecream. The cone itself was fantastic. Nobody would know it was gluten-free without notification. The 45-minute commute was well worth the effort, and we definitely plan to return.

Love love love thos coffee shop. We stop in every time we drive through from Chicago. The gluten free cinnamon cake is sooooooo good. This morning's orange chocolate latte and strawberry mocha latte were both excellent. Highly recommend this bakery and coffee shop. The gluten free German chocolate cupcake was also delicious.

The shop has many flavors of ice cream. Cash only. No restroom. Select flavors are gluten-free. Upon request, the ice cream specialists may open a new tub to avoid cross-contamination. Salem Land Trust trails are listed on a side board.

My favorite ice cream in the quiet corner! So many options! Nor’easters are my favorite! You won’t be disappointed! They have some Gluten free items at times too! This was the Bugs Bunny: Carrot cake,cream cheese and frosting!

Ice cream was unbelievably good! I wish I had gotten a larger size! Everyone behind the counter was very friendly and happy to accommodate our gluten allergy. As soon as we can, we are going back!

Peaches 'N Cream has been a family favorite for decades..I am delighted that the children's table is still there, with the knitted picture of Pluto hanging on the wall above it! A few months ago I purchased a cinnamon ice cream cake for a family member's birthday, and it was absolutely delicious-the owner was kind and helpful, and offered me a birthday topper at no extra charge. All of their ice cream flavors are excellent, and the gluten-free cookies/muffins they have are so good. My family and I will always support Peaches 'N Cream 🍨

Delicious gelato and always a great response to someone in our group with celiac disease.

Amazing place for ice cream. Very family friendly. Variety of options, gluten free, vegan, and others. The only thing is they only accept cash or venom. But there is a very convenient ATM in the shop.

We really love this place. We come almost every week during the open season. Today, the staff wasn't able to tell us if one of the ice cream flavors was gluten free though. It would be really great if the staff there could be trained and have the allergy information readily available when customers ask. A small cheat sheet for the ice cream flavors doesn't seem like it would be a difficult thing to print out. Great ice cream and always a great place to visit. Hoping my suggestion makes it's way into helping others with food allergies

This Ixe Cream Parlour is SO CUTE. Firestly the space itself is decorated and bright. Very cool for hot summer breaks. The menu has everything you can think of in a cake/ice cream shop. The ice cream specialist were happy to serve and help us make decisions as all the flavors sounded delicious. Speaking of which, they have gluten free and vegan options that are so inclusive for all ages. I ended up getting a very reasonably priced single scoop for about 4.00 with Jamaican me Nutty which was so so so perfectly balanced between chocolate ice cream, chips, almonds, and other nuts. Would be back very soon.

They have gluten free cones & allergy protocols! I was thrilled to be able to safely eat delicious ice cream #celiac

Great ice cream shop. Icy Rolls were amazing, delicious handmade dessert. Clean well organized store with friendly happy staff. A hidden gem. Gluten free and dairy free options as well. Definitely will be returning.

Elizabeth Ballek

Went for ice cream twice now & the blue monster cookie is very good & my bf loves their chocolate! Very creamy & homemade tasting. Many options for dairy, gluten & nut allergies. Service is good, still working on using their register. Cute place! & I wanna go back in morning for their waffles, they look delicious!

Such a cute spot and they have a lot of options! Dairy free options and gluten free cones

Hannah Hokanson

I have allergies to gluten and dairy. On multiple occasions the manager, Linda, has helped me figure out what was safe for me to eat. She even went out of her way to make a special ice cream cake for me. The atmosphere in the store is always fun and welcoming.

Came by after the beach on a Friday at 4:30PM. I am celiac and always have difficulty finding GF places. The girl working the counter was lovely, and patient with me as she double checked on her list what is gluten free or not. Ended up with a coffee milkshake. Only con is that they only have cow milk for the milkshakes FYI!

Elisabeth Rock

These paletas rock! :) So different from a normal ice cream experience as these are made fresh daily on site by Chef Christina with all natural ingredients and no preservatives. The fruit based paletas are all vegan and most of the menu is gluten free. Come enjoy!

Shamseldin Metwally

Very tasty ice cream. Multiple gluten free options as well. The price is not expensive. Service wasn't great but maybe because it was 30 minutes before closing time. The vibe is very nice and cozy inside.

Bob Baxter

This ice cream shop offers a wide variety of gluten-free flavors, and the staff is happy to wash the scoop upon request to avoid cross-contamination. This makes it a great place for families with celiac disease to enjoy a delicious and safe treat.

I have Celiac, so asked if they had options for myself, the girl said all are GF (except the ones that are obviously not cookie dough etc) she even opened a new pint of coffee for me. Just was super excited to get joy icecream and not being glutened. Ps the flavor was amazing!!

Jamie Monico

Prices are very expensive $5.50 for a small! The ice cream was good but nothing to write home about. However they do have a unique selection including dairy free and gluten free options.

Gluten free gelato and gluten free cones. Orders are not prepared in a separate area so there is a chance of cross-contamination (scoop may come in contact with a “gluten full” cone/brioche)

This place is gem! Owner and staff are lovely. I had coffee and an omelette, both very good. They have gluten free bread. It’s 1/2 mile from CFC so a good place to hang if waiting for soccer pickup.

Homemade ice cream is to die for! And gluten free options!! 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the area and craving ice cream!

Zachary Magin

The employees there were knowledgable about allergies and very accommodating. They agreed to wash their hands and clean off the ice cream machine so that my girlfriend — who has a gluten allergy — could enjoy ice cream too. They were very kind when I requested this for her. So impressed and glad to have an establishment in the neighborhood with employees who care about their customers! This made our night.

Ashleys is my new favorite ice cream place! I went twice in 2 days. Both of the people who served us were polite and kind about never being there before. I got sugar-free mint chip and sugar-free peanut butter chip one time, then the sugar-free mint chip and coconut mounds the other. Both were amazing. I also ordered a cake, and they were very kind about my gluten allergy. The lady who took our order today was so kind and got me a clean scoop for the ice cream and gave me sprinkles that did not have contact with other toppings. I definitely recommend Ashleys, especially if you have any allergies!

I'm gluten free and the employees looked up the ingredients for me on certain things to make sure I could have it. My husband is dairy free and he loved th dairy free choc peanut butter flavor.. Very helpful and the ice cream is great!

Has gluten free ice cream cones and bread. Staff is awesome! Family friendly with outdoor only seating.

This gem just opened up a few days ago and it's fantastic! They have a wonderful variety of gelato flavors, mochi balls and unique toppings. There are gluten free and vegan options. The owner is very friendly and helpful. She let us know they will be open year round with seasonal flavors. She plans on expanding the menu as well so we definitely plan on going back regularly to see what new treats she'll have in store for us next. 😁
