Top 50 Gluten-Free Ice Cream Shops to Delight in Connecticut

Gluten Free Bakery and Ice Cream Shop

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.

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.

The OG of creameries. Worth the 45 minute car ride (each way) every time. Their ice cream is rich, natural, flavorful…so absolutely worth it. They serve black raspberry…real, not synthetic. Safe for Celiacs….let them know, they have protocols! Killer pup cups too!

One of my favorite coffee shops to visit! They always have a variety of pastries in their case along with some mini cakes and pies. I make the 40 minute drive for their gluten free coffee cake and large iced latte. They also have great outdoor seating and are located in a cute part of Salisbury with shops to look around in.

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!

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.

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.

Best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had and with gluten free cones and toppings? Say no more! The place is not only beautiful and incredibly clean, but the customer service is absolutely fantastic.

John Riccio

Cool place to hang out, props for labeling gluten and other allergen containing products! Will definitely be going back

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.

Marian Gregory-Boutot

Absolutely love everything about it. I also would like to say how over the top I was taken care of with my Celiac disease. So very careful and mindful of every aspect. Get ice cream, gf brownies, cookies. Love it!!!!

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

Jessica Tannatt -Walsh, Mahler (Jecca)

It was my first time, early in the season on a rainy day, so we didn't get to explore the rest of the property. I hear they have rides through their sunflower field in season 🥰 The ice cream was excellent, and our server so cheerful. They were accommodating to my allergies and let me try a couple of different flavors before committing and checked for gluten for each flavor I inquired about. We will definitely be back!

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)

Bryan Grover

Nice local place with a great selection of ice cream and yogurt flavors. They put on the display label if the flavor is gluten free. The workers are friendly and helpful.

Lisa Siegel

Great place kids and adults will enjoy they have soft serve and hard ice cream and dole pinapple whip for gluten free lactose free for those who still want to enjoy the experience. Take the family a little pricey but great ice cream. Plenty of benches and a few picnic tables and a funny picture opportunity with cow cutout. Enjoy!!!

Keen

Was really craving ice cream and saw they had both dairy free Ice cream AND gluten free cones so we stopped in. Both the chocolate and vanilla are amazing! So rich, creamy, and has the "real" ice cream feel! Will absolutely be back!!

Melissa Wide

Every single year I head on down to my favorite ice cream parlor in the world on the first day of its reopening for the season. The Ice Cream Depot is the best ice cream dispenser in town or maybe even in the county! With its wide menu and quick staff, it is the perfect place to take your family. It has reasonable to low prices and you can even sit on one of the very many benches or picnic tables spread down the street. Great views while eating and pleasant members always pass by the joint too. I love how they have gluten free desserts and frozen yogurt, along with sherbert, sorbet, sundaes, sodas, and milkshakes! The flavors are endless and the toppings are amazing as well. The amount of product given is very good too. When there is a long line, it tends to shrink very fast. Parking tends to be tight but there is almost always room. Love the ice cream, it's the best.

Hidden gem. Gluten free options, good food. Wish they were open year round. Great options. Fried clams, curly fries, milkshakes!! Yum.

Saskia

Yummy fro yo place with lots of dairy free and gluten free options! Lots of toppings too. A little untidy but very helpful staff! I would go here again.

S Joliet

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.

Lori Lapointe

Cute, clean friendly and the ice cream is delicious. Generous portions and love they have gluten free options. Outdoor seating very nice!

Abigail Souza

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.

Everette Castello

Best ice cream and customer service out there in the business. They also cater to the people with gluten and allergy problems.

Lily Dube

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!

A Faison

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!

Natasha P

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. 😁

Catherine Haugh

Nice spot for breakfast they have gluten free toast

I was at this location for the first time to get a haircut next door. Since the ice cream parlor was here, I couldn’t pass it up. It was a treat. I got a Reese’s Sundae and it was delicious, and huge. I had to bring half of it home. My wife, who is allergic to gluten and dairy, was happy to find they had options for her as well. She got a vegan vanilla ice cream and it was one of the best dairy, gluten free ice creams she’s ever had. I tried some too and it was delicious.

Tommy Dault

By far the best place for ice cream when you have an allergy. They know gluten free, nut free, dairy free, egg free, etc. Thank you for all the great choices!! Recommend this for anytime of year.

Philip Gonski

Great Staff and knowledgeable about gluten free. Yummy
