Top 5 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Cannon Falls

Jeannie Hill

As we welcome the warmer months each year, we head to Cannon Belles Coffee and Ice Cream in Cannon Falls. This town has more charm that a quick view of map can tell a story of. This historic building is fun to visit and experience the local culture. I never guessed initially that they provide award-winning artisanal cheeses, too! We are avid cheese lovers since living in Europe where the selection is amazing, and cheese is an every-day stable as well as a gourmet dessert. When it comes to ice cream, I’m always the one looking for a frozen yogurt option. Secondly, I recommend the Black Licorice ice Cream and Maple Nut ice cream for adult tastes. The kids love their Superman ice cream. Sometimes, I take my coffee in their float variety– 2 generous scoops of ice cream and freshly brewed coffee. The staff is great. They’ve even brewed a fresh pot of coffee upon request. We like it that everyone has an option for how their ice cream is served: a waffle cone, gluten-free cone, a cup, or cake cone…or simply take home a pint or gallon version. Usually, they have benches outside for enjoying the weather while we have our treats. The “Kiddie Scoops” are the right size for any age, who is conserving on sweet intake. Street side parking is available. As well, there is the generous parking lot on the east side of the winery across the street. It’s a friendly community. We enjoy meeting friends here. Huge thanks to the owners for investing your retail operation in this locale.

The food was great! I have dietary restrictions (gluten and soy) and they were able to offer quite a few things that would not have either of those. I believe it was mostly seafood offered to avoid gluten and soy.

Their ability to mix-and-match flavors and different kinds of ice cream/toppings is very refreshing take on the dairy treat. One of the few places that has gluten-free cones. When the grill is open it is the best fast food around.
