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!

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.

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.

Delicious gluten free chocolate bananas that are half the price as other locations and not dipped in the same chocolate as the ice creams. Fun gluten free ice cream flavors like s'mores, where the graham crackers base is made with brown sugar. Very friendly and fast service too!

This place is great! The owner/chef, Dave, is super friendly and passionate about the quality of his product. The flavors are tasty, unique, and he said they use REAL ingredients. i.e. "Mint chip" is refreshing bc he uses actually mint; It isn't just dyed green + fake flavoring. They also have 10 or so flavors which are dairy-free and gluten-free for those with restrictions!

YUM! Unusual ice cream shop! Ice cream start broken down buy ingredients including some non-dairy and some gluten-free. The " four flavor flight" is what we got and we were totally impressed! It's worth the drive to San Diego or if you were in the area just to go there! Parking can be difficult though and there are some spaces on the street.
