Top 25 Gluten-Free Ice Cream Parlors Across Illinois

Anna Keller

Ingrained is my favorite gluten free bakery in the city! I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love. All of the ingredients are so fresh and you can tell everything is made with love!

Everything about this cafe is charming, including Caesar. He makes your dining experience very personal, and the food is prepared right before you in an open kitchen. The atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious, and the experience was outstanding. This place is truly unique. They even offer gluten free pierogis!! This was the best dining experience on our Chicago trip.

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

The best popsicles you'll ever have! There are always so many unique and fun flavors you don't see anywhere else. I have celiac and everything is GF/not cross-contaminated.

Islieth Moran

Have a gluten allergy and I have never gotten sick from them. Today I ordered and was unsure if I had ordered gluten free toppings and when I called to asked, they were quick to find out and address my concerns.

Super cute location! Stopped by while in town for a horse show, friendly staff who was very helpful with samples and told us all to know about the ingredients. Lots of options for those with dairy and gluten allergies. Reasonable price and you get what you pay for and more. Would recommend!

Great desserts. Homemade waffle cones. Even have gluten free ice-cream cones and Waffle cones made in a separate area.

Darlene Lovely

This organic and gluten-free vegan ice cream tastes just like real milk ice cream! I'm not vegan, but I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend it to everyone, regardless of their dietary preferences. Personally, I am gluten-free due to allergies and this ice cream was perfect for me.

Ken Hoxie

Great place with awesome service and gluten free prep that rocks!

Donna Cox

Apparently they don’t like seniors here. You have to ask for the discount if you don’t ask before they total your bill forget it. It’s too late They’re not suppose to assume you’re a Senior so you’re just out of luck. Oh and I paid $1.20 for a gluten free bun the fell apart on bite 3.

I am a gluten free eater. It's nice they offer gluten free buns. I wish they had a dedicated fryer for fries. Overall I was in and out on a timely manner.

I was so excited to find vegan ice cream that didn't come from a grocery store! Flavors are marked as vegan, dairy free and gluten free. There are different flavors in the scoops freezer as opposed to in the pints. I was VERY disappointed when I found out that the only scoop flavor that was both gluten-free and dairy-free was the hot toddy, which does not appeal to me at all. Of all things, I never expected gluten to be the limiting factor in **ice cream** flavors, you know, a food that doesn't have gluten by default. I ended up getting a chocolate truffle pint (I think the other GF DF pint was cold brew coconut). It's good chocolate ice cream, but not worth the higher price compared to Oatly or So Delicious. I was SO LET DOWN by the lack of options that were both GF and DF. I guess mint chocolate chip, chocolate chunk and fudge swirl are too basic for them.

Robin Kansas City

Lots of gluten free options

Jesse Crotser

Awesome atmosphere with super cool vibe, excellent choices with gluten and dairy free options as well.

Michael Santoyo

Huge selection and have gluten free options or favorite places for ice cream 🍨🍦

Emily Wode

GF cones, will open a new ice cream and use a clean scoop if you ask to accommodate for an allergy

Sherry

Great ice cream with gluten free (gf cone and Oreo toppings) and dairy free options. Loved the arcade games too. Can't wait to go back and try the other options like coffee, refreshers, and bubble tea!

Scott Bye

We appreciate the fact the store has gluten free ice cream and according to my granddaughter Amelia all the flavors are fantastic. Samuel my grandson had the mint chip and absolutely loved it we will definitely be back again.

This place is kind of tucked away from the main road, but definitely a hidden gem. My kids and I love coming here! It is all self serve and you pay by weight. It's a little pricier than your average ice cream shop, but totally worth it and fun for the kids to make their own creations. I especially appreciate that they have gluten free options. Also, and this is especially important for a self serve place, it is so clean!!

M Gates

This was our first time visiting Eiffel Waffle. The staff is super friendly, especially Dixie, and their bubble waffle cones are to die for! My daughter got a Cookie Monster and I got a the Night in Paris. The cones are made on a waffle maker so they are puffy with just a little crunch. They have soo many flavors of ice cream. I wish we would have tried this sooner. We will definitely be coming back. Their menu includes gluten free, egg free and contains nuts!

Kataphora V

We love this place! Quality ice cream with lots of flavors to choose from, including dairy-free for those with intolerances or allergies; they are one of the few places which offer gluten-free cones. Staff is always friendly. Great shaved ice options as well.

Gluten free, dairy free no issues, they used gloves and a new scoop for me! Very happy with the service

Samantha Pollock

Love this place so much! Great selection of tasty treats, ice cream, crazee ice, popcorn and so much more. Atmosphere is excellent, comfortable seating both inside and outside, they even have Thermacells setup outside to keep mosquitoes away. They have thought of everything! Incredibly friendly service and even fun photo spots! Gluten free and vegan options.

Jason Crouch

Always great food and great service. They keep the menu items fresh and new. In addition, they do a great job gluten free/ celiac orders.

Katlyn Lance

I love that they have gluten free & dairy free options and make them in a separate area to avoid cross contamination! A very fun experience!

Luis Miguel Picon Jaimes

Gluten free and low or non-fat ice cream,

Sarah Deziel

Thank you for taking such great care of our gluten free/ celiac order - even offering to open a new container to eliminate cross contamination concerns. Alexis was great!!

Megan S

Options include “adult-only”, dairy & gluten-free! Hand crafted without all the extra junk, great culture, clean restroom, friendly staff. Only possible drawback is that with a local custom craft, you may have to wait— and that’s ok!!

Shailabh Shah

The best ice cream around! And my dog loves their pup cups! They also have Gluten free desserts and this is such a big deal for us. We love Cary Dairy!

Caitlin Schroeder

I got 1 scoop of the vegan gluten free Oreo ice cream. The ice cream was very good, not gritty like other vegan ice creams. They have done a nice job redoing the inside of the store. Compared to other local ice cream shops the prices are extremely high. I paid $6.09 for 1 scoop of ice cream in a paper cup. Edit after store reply: I forgot to mention I included my $1 tip in the $6.09 total. Reply is correct. If you do not provide a service tip the total for 1 scoop of vegan ice cream is $5.09.

Erica Davis

I must say - the selection of ice cream is pretty amazing. There's a wide variety of flavors and several dairy free, vegan, gluten free options. And their cakes are pretty amazing. We have purchased a birthday cake here twice, once pre-ordered and once out of the case. There was no difference in quality between the pre-ordered cake and the one out of the case. Both were amazingly delicious! Some of their items are a little pricey, but we don't mind paying a little more for excellent quality. This ice cream shop is one of those local hidden gems that you don't want to miss when you find yourself in Batavia!! Note to the Creamery - please make brown butter bourbon one of your always flavors... you so rarely have it when I come in, and it's one of my favorites!!

Such a fabulous addition to downtown Aurora! I love that there are seasonal, gluten free and dairy free options! ❤❤

Sandra Yatsko

Delicious Gelato! And they even have gluten free cones!! I would worry if I had Celiac though because I saw part of a regular cone break off into the Gelato as the person was scooping and they rub the scraper against the cone.

I had an appalling experience at Shack Burger on August 7th, around 8 PM. I ordered a gluten-free burger without bacon due to dietary restrictions. To my dismay, when my order finally arrived—after a 15-minute wait—I found that the burger still had bacon on it. This is not just an issue of preference; it’s a serious health concern. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, instead of preparing a new burger as they should have, they simply removed the bacon from the existing burger and handed it back to me. This is completely unacceptable. The fact that they thought this was an appropriate way to address the situation shows a blatant disregard for customer safety and a total lack of professionalism. When I confronted them about this, they insisted they had prepared a new burger in just 30 seconds—a claim that’s both insulting and clearly untrue given the original 15-minute wait time. It’s clear that they either lied to me or did not take my concerns seriously. As someone who has to be extremely cautious about what I eat due to health reasons, I find this behavior outrageous. Shack Burger needs to educate their staff on the importance of handling food allergies with care and respect. This kind of carelessness can lead to serious health risks, and it’s appalling to see such a lack of concern. I am deeply disappointed and furious about how my situation was handled. I expect much better from an establishment that serves food to the public. I will not be returning and will advise others, especially those with food allergies, to avoid this place until they can assure their customers that they are capable of properly handling special dietary requests.

Terrific waffles - the best ever! They are freshly made, served warm and slightly crispy along the edges. The ice cream is the best - creamy and delicious! The shop offers great, unique flavors, and also the standards. For those who need gluten-free ice cream, there are many choices. Great staff - friendly, helpful service!
