Top 50 Gluten-Free Ice Cream Parlors Across California

Robyn Casillas

Super Delicious 🧁🧁 - Ordered these delicious cupcakes for the second time for a co- workers birthday, everyone raved about them. Multiple people asked me where I got them, even people who were not gluten-free! Yum yum yum!

Brittney Codera

The staff was extremely helpful; pulled out the ingredients list to verify my allergies. Delicious AND gluten free. You have to get the flight if you are dairy and gluten free; they had four flavors I could choose from, 4!!! So the flight it was and my husband got the waffle cone because we could have that too. Must get flavor….Bee’s Knees, top 3 ice cream flavors I have ever had. This will be a repeat everytime we come to Monterey

My favorite place for safe gf ice cream! I always get their gf v cone too. Their cookies are also amazing, they do have dairy in them though.

Shirleen Chen

Gluten free Italian food! Pasta pizza, Italian sandwiches

Lori Cross Schotten

Being gluten free, desserts are always a challenge. This was the best GF chocolate chip cookie and GF ice cream I've ever had. They had so many choices too!

Cat McGuire

Amazing gluten free

Jennifer Moul

Ice cream and waffle cone were delightful. I love how they have so many gluten free options. The addition of a cookie (reg or gf) is also a nice touch! The Mint Cookies n’ Cream & Peanut Butter Cup were delicious.

Ally Thompson

100% gluten free gelato, pastry, coffee joint. what more do i have to say? go here now!

VERONICA LUENGO

Delicious and gluten free I loved it

Omg An’s Gelato is AMAZING. They start off by taking you on a “flavor tour” where you sample all of their flavors (about 6. They rotate their flavors every couple of weeks). Most flavors are gluten free, but let them know you have an allergy because they do have an occasional flavor that isn't GF. The staff is very knowledgeable. They even make their own GF waffle cones and occasionally GF cookies and breads that they mix into their flavors. I'm not kidding when I say that you will get HOOKED on this place. The first time I tasted their Canvas flavor (olive oil and rosemary with black salt- i know it sounds weird, but TRUST ME) it transported me to another dimension of complete bliss and euphoria with no worries in the world. It's no surprise that this place was awarded #1 Best Gelato/ ice cream in the country. The lines are always long- so expect to wait over 30 minutes on any given day. But it is worth the wait. They also have a location in Del Mar called An’s Hatmakers, and a location inside Petco Park called An's Athletic Field Services.

Great vibe, small place at the corner of a street. Ice cream was delicious and so was the vegan taco shell. They have a gluten free taco shell too. Would love to try the other vegan flavors someday too

Rebecca Peterson

Best dairy free ice cream out there hands down, look for their brand in local stores if you can't make it to their parlors. The service was really friendly even though we came in close to closing after dining across the street. Coffee, orange chocolate, and golden milk flavors are all amazing. Their new cookie sandwiches (gluten free as well as vegan) are really tasty too. Cannot recommend this local brand/chain enough!

Lindsey D

100% gluten free gelato shop including the waffle cones!!!! I hadn’t had a waffle cone in 13+ years and enjoyed gelato twice during my visit to San Diego. 10/10 recommend!

Katie Lehmann

Supercookies & cream with a gluten free cone 😍

Good ice cream place, been there twice now. It's worth it. Lots of gluten free options.

Anne Roche

Piazza D'Angelo is one of my favorite places to eat in Mill Valley. I have both celiac and a dairy allergy and not only are there multiple options for me, the waitstaff are fully knowledgable and kind about my limitations. And the food is delicious! Big cheers to this wonderful place. Thank you Piazza D'Angelo!

Noelle Stanger

This place offers Gluten Free breads and empanadas. Having celiac I'm so grateful! I love this place

Chloe Rodgers

My friend and I came here awhile back to try to gluten free churros and were very impressed! Super cute atmosphere and fun place to hang out for a bit.

Excellent unique flavors daily , most are gluten free. Rosewater honey flavor is highly recommended

K G

The ice cream shop is completely gluten free and does have dairy free options. They sell gluten free cookies that are delicious and reasonably priced. The people who work there are very knowledgeable.

Noelle Stanger

Penny creamery offers gluten free cones and ice cream choices make this my favorite place. Also the toasted marshmallow fluff topping can't be beat!

Hannah I

So exciting to see a gf/dairy free/refined sugar free ice cream in the area :) This ice cream is good for what it is. I feel like the flavors I tried were really overwhelmed by the flavor of coconut, and honestly could benefit from some salt to round the flavors out, just from a culinary perspective. The shop was very cute and clean, but the staff seemed to have limited knowledge about the flavors and struggled to tell me about the flavors I asked about (ex. She had no idea what was in the tropical blend…and a lot of I don’t knows, which was too bad since this was my first time here! Not really ideal, given this place seems to focus on allergens and dietary restrictions. Not the end of the world though haha I’d give it another try if I were down in the area! It’s nice to have this option and not be worried about gluten cross contamination :)

Vanessa Larco

Awesome gluten free flavors and they offer gluten free cones too.

Sadie Driscoll

Came in and asked for gluten free options. Server said only the vegan options were gluten free and nothing else. She said even the cookie one was gluten free which it wasn’t. There are many gluten free options besides the vegan one and she didn’t know what she was doing.

Jessica Avner

Great selections for gluten free and dairy free. The gluten free cones was delicious.

Kearston Vanderstyne

My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner after hiking the Redwoods. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and I got the grilled snapper (pretty sure it's rockfish). I asked for tarter sauce instead of the jalapeno jam and they were happy to accommodate. I was especially happy to see the option of a homemade gluten free bun. It was one of the best I've ever had. We shared the fries with gravy and cheese. The fries were delicious, but the melted Mexican cheese was different than what we are used to with poutine back home. I did not mind the self serve style and ordering at the counter. Our food came out very quickly. All in all, we'd recommend for a quick dinner!

Today was a hot day. After grabbing pizza next door which is conjoined with the creamery spot, that was cool! I ordered a single scoop but they allow half on half scoop of two flavors in one. I got the honey vanilla latte and Nutella bonfire s'mores. It was a great combo. Service was kind, and they do flavor tasting if you are not sure what you want to get. They provide indoor and outdoor seating along with restrooms you can use. Parking was convenient. The Ice cream flavors were not too sweet, it was a perfect mix in the middle. Don't worry, they have gluten free cones and ice cream for those that celiac disease!! Great spot to have ice cream.

Maybelline Vasquez

First time and I definitely wish there was one in Lancaster. My server was super friendly and inviting. Her recommendations were on point. Had the lamb burger medium well. Juiciest burger with flavor a must try. Fresh fries with homemade thousand island Jalapeño dip and ranch. Tried the lemonade with basil different and super delish! For desert a chocolate chip shake with whip cream. Gluten free options. Only the freshest ingredients used and you can definitely taste it. A bit pricey but really worth it. Best service ever.

Suz Summerville

FANtastic! Searched the Valley for UBE (ooh-bae) FroYo OR Ice Cream and found it at Magpies! Bonus: IT'S VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE! #Weeeeee #IYKYK 🔥

Winnie Mutuc

Stella Jean’s has the best ice cream! Their flavors are original & also offer vegan & gluten free options. Ube Pandan is always a favorite. Currently in love with their seasonal flavor, black sesame coconut! If you haven’t been, it’s a must try. Great & consistent service from their team, especially Cesar!

Jenny Yaeger

Great vegan, gluten-free, and nut free ice cream options. For a person who has too many allergies, this place is awesome. Not only do they have ice cream they have ice cream cakes/pies and omg those are great too (contains gluten)!!

Susan Louck

Mosaic has a great ambience and fantastic servers. I gave a 4 star for the food because I would prefer more gluten free options and some organic options would be a bonus. But overall Mosaic will not disappoint.

Jeff Lane

I've been coming for years. My favorite place to get a sandwich! And gelato, of course. A few gluten free pastries baked daily, great tea selection, and good coffee. Not easy for large groups but great for small get togethers. Order ahead on their site or by phone. Really friendly staff ever time.

Emily Dailey

I love ice cream. This place was so so good, maybe the best ice cream I’ve had. I got a scoop of spumoni and a scoop of chocolate peanut butter on a gluten free sugar cone.

Emanuelle Hoffner

The best gluten free waffle cone I have ever had in my life. Ice cream was great too!!!

S Noble

I've cream was delicious! Fun flavors. They even have vegan and gluten free options! Cute little place and great patio seats.

Madison Pulaski

Overrrrated. Half a block going east on Melrose passed Larchmont. Metered parking on Melrose. Some semi outdoor cement seats & tables. Guessing they are the afterhours part of the coffee shop next door. We don't really get all the 4+ reviews??? We've had way better tasting vegan ice cream in the area. Ice cream was bland. Got the tiny pistachio scoop for $8. Could barely taste any flavors. Saw one pistachio on the top in the one scoop & a couple of pieces of some sort of frozen semi glutenous brown stuff mixed in. They provide a tiny quarter teaspoon so you feel like you ate a lot in reality you could down the tiny scoop in two bites with a regular spoon. No hi/hello smile from guy working the counter. Seemed like he didn't want to be there around 7pm.

Aurora and her team is just amazing and super helpful. They were so considerate in making sure my meal is gluten free.

Adrian

Honestly so so bad. Do not go here unless you want to walk out feeling terrible in every way. For the longest time this was on the very top of my list of places i needed to try. I was so excited. I have a number of allergies and the menu seems amazing. However the food is really really not good, not even considering the cost. More than that, i finished it feeling more bloated and nasty than i have in a long time. So for all of the things they say they are, it seems like there’s something they use in their cooking that is not good. So not safe for those with sensitive guts. I got the rad thai, their take on pad thai and it was mushy and bad and almost tasteless. It came with a side of tasteless greens and tasteless and dry quinoa all for 31$. They used thin clear noodles instead of a flat noodle. Pad thai in and of itself is gluten free besides the soy sauce so it’s not hard to make a healthier version. Next time I know to make it at home because my god did they mess this one up. Just mush, no texture, no flavor, and 4 pieces of the tiniest broccoli mixed in and maybe 15 strands of carrot. $31. On top of that the cashier was unbelievably rude and short with me totally uncalled for. And also just… weird? She took my order and then later when it came out even though i was the only other person in the restaurant she half-yelled out “rad thai” “rad thai” a number of times in a really irritated voice. The whole time i was standing pretty much right in fromt of her and there wasnt anyone else and she was yelling out into the distance in an irritated voice. Like girl wth 😂. It was 7pm too it wasnt even late. Also while i was waiting for my order i asked about the ice cream and she was texting the whole time and pretended not to hear me the first time. And then was like so irritated rolled her eyes at me and like mumbled ill get to you get out of the way there are other customers here. There were no other customers. Tho some customers came in 2 minutes later, i guess she was pre-empting the future lmao. She was acting like this with me the moment i walked in. The ambiance is bad too. It is not comfortable at all to sit and dine in. That might be on purpose. I guess they dont want you there. So if you want to feel like garbage both in your head and in your stomach this is the place for you. Would give 1 star but 2 for what they represent. Glad there’s a vegan and supposedly healthy restaurant here but that’s all they can get credit for because you dont leave it feeling healthy.

This place is a TREASURE to anyone looking for the most delicious DAIRY FREE and GLUTEN FREE ice cream sandwiches!! Try every flavor- they are all exceptional! The friendliest people work here and it is the cutest shop!

Cait Sojka

So yummy! Having Celiac means I don’t get to eat a lot of waffle cones, so had to try their gluten free one while in town visiting. It was amazing!!! Had the strawberry oat and mango sticky rice flavors, both were also gluten free — 10/10.

June G

I’m on gluten free and dairy free diet due to my sensitivities and this is the first time I enjoyed ice cream/gelato in a very long time. They have a good selection of GF and DF gelatos. They also have GF cookies and cakes that look very yummy. Will definitely come back for more!

Gary Trew

Brenna Yamamoto

Had an allergen list, so when i asked if they had gluten free they checked. Many flavors are GF, and as a celiac i didnt get sick! 👍🏻

JD

Absolutely amazing. Vegan and gluten-free options.

Kelly Weber

Great vegan options that are clearly marked! They are also very aware of allergies such as gluten free. I got the peanut butter ice cream 50/50 with a scoop of cake batter cookie dough. Very yummy! Cute shop with bright sunlight and a nice outdoor patio.

Melissa Peterson

THE BEST HOMEMADE ICE CREAM EVER!!!!!!! So creamy!! SOOOOO many choices too!! Lots of Gluten free options too! Super friendly staff as well!!! Definitely go here!!!!

Shauntrice Martin

Tried a new flavor for my milkshake (cookies n cream + blueberry cheesecake) and it BANGED. Plus the gluten free fudge cookies were actually good.

My hubby & I are here in Tahoe for our 3rd honeymoon after we originally honemooned at Olympic Village Inn @ Squaw Valley 30 years ago - we're re-visiting all our fave spots and discovering new ones, too -- this was a newbie for us/ I honestly don't know how we missed it during all our trips up here over the years? I have nothing but great things to say about this homey, log cabin-style restaurant! I admit I was a little leary when the sign out front read "voted best breakfast". We had recently been to a place in TX which had a "best pizza in town" sign out front and it was hands down the worst I'd ever had! Eek! Yet, here in this quaint spot, I literally cried happy tears when the sweet waitress brought out the gluten-free pancake I ordered (shaped w/ a leafy-edge even, as pictured here!) and I took my first bite! :) I have never cried over food, yet everything we ate here was amazing -- real, fresh food - and I was so happy to have a GF pancake option! (I'm GF by choice for the sake of my thyroid, possibly dealing w/ Hashimoto's, just got tested, but have been GF by choice for 5 years!). I have NEVER found a place which offers GF pancakes, so I was already a little impressed, but expecting something pretty tasteless, but boy was I in for a treat! The GF pancake was topped with REAL whipped butter and pure maple syrup on the side. They also had GF french toast on the menu, another new option I've never found in a restaurant. If I could have handled it, along with the GF smoked salmon benedict (also delish!) and GF pancake, I would have ordered it, too - almost did, just because the GF pancake was so good - ha! :) My hubby, who is not GF, took a bite of the pancake and was pleasantly surprised as well! He ordered a chai latte and said it was the BEST of the best! He also thoroughly enjoyed his biscuits and gravy, again saying they were amazing! The service was super! The place was charming, decorated with homemade table runners on all the walls -- FYI -- you can purchase these, too. It's a real cabin-home converted quite nicely to a restaurant, cafe-style. I think the owners live in the back of it as when we went upstairs to wait (in the comfy "bedroom lounge" lined w/ leather couches all around), there was a sign saying "private residence" on the door at the top of the stairs. The only thing I could say which is questionable about the place is I don't know if there is a bathroom on the bottom floor and I don't know if there is handicap access to upstairs, where there is a bathroom? This is not an issue for me personally, but if I was dealing with any physical mobility challenge, I would ask about it before coming. My husband and I were so impressed we spoke w/ the owner/wife -- so charming and kind -- before leaving. She said her hubby had been at it 35 years, she for 34 (she met him there!) & all the recipes are his own. We said, well, they got it down! They're getting ready to take a break for winter (this is Fall 2018), so get over there quick if you are looking for the BEST BREAKFAST -- truly yummy -- in the north Tahoe area! This is a true gem we almost passed up, yet are so glad we found!

Shoutout to Khaleel for being incredibly kind and sensitive to my gluten allergy! Rarely do people show so much care, and I really appreciated it.
