I love the vibe! The inside is super cute with a very pretty floor, they also sell cute clothes to go with the amazing ice cream! I have a gluten sensitivity and having it makes me very sick, so it was great to find a place that is gluten free! They also are dairy free which means my vegan friend could also try this amazing place! I tried the butter pecan and cinnamon sugar swirl, both were great! Very creamy, good scoops, and neither flavor was overpowering! The waffle cone..oh my god it was delicious! It was like eating a graham cracker!!! But with the waffle cone texture!

Brandi Ardanas

I am so restricted on what I can have for desserts due to dairy, gluten, & sugar. I can never eat dessert out and my husband found this amazing place!!! They have a small selection of sugar free options as well which is amazing!! The first time in 6 years I was able to have a waffle cone that was gluten free! The flavors are absolutely amazing! Definitely worth the drive!

Morgan Smith

Amazing for people with celiac disease!!! They have separate prep areas so no risk for cross contamination, and the food is so good it makes you question if it’s gluten free. Best gluten free food on the beach!!!!!

Lyndsey Harrington

We had a great dinner at Addissae tonight. We ordered the vegetarian platter for two and everything was delicious. The staff were gracious and we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner after dinner. I was really pleased to learn their injeera was gluten-free, as well, since many restaurants use wheat blends. We’ll be back often!

James Roach

Amazing flavour options (with gluten and dairy free options as well!). Service is amazing and the place is very clean!

Brittany Cochran

Amazing vegan, gluten free ice cream!! They had a big selecction or vegan and dairy ice cream. Lots of topping to choose from. I am vegan, gluten free, corn free and I got chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and had no issues. Truly delicious.

The best icecream in Wilmington! I love how there are gluten free and vegan options. Something I do want to mention is that there is potential risk of cross contamination. I realized that not every icecream has its own scooper. When I came in the lady asked me if I wanted a clean scooper for my icecream which I said no but I felt like it wouldn't have mattered if I were to say yes or no because it probably was contaminated prior. So she used the same scooper that she got my boyfriends not gluten free icecream to get my gluten free icecream. I personally am not allergic to gluten so it is by preference but warning anyone that actually has an allergy or that is vegan since the business comes off as allergy friendly to me at least.

Shopey Girl

No vegan free No gluten free options even though website still clearly continues to say they do...when asked if this was because they were out for the day or they just don't serve them...was told they have to use separate mixers and they dont currently have one for that and from what I gathered from the convo there isn't one in the foreseeable future...so don't get excited if you are looking for vegan/gluten free.

T. Unger

Great spot for getting good scooped ice cream and shaved ice! They're also very versed in Gluten allergies which makes it a safe spot for celiacs!!

Cassandra Staley

This is by far one of my favorite ice cream shops. They make everything from scratch and have the most unique flavors! Everyone who works there is so friendly! The ice cream and Ingrediants are all dairy free and gluten free. I must add they don’t use refined sugars and incorporate alternatives such as honey and maple syrup. This is a must try if you are in the Charlotte area. I go here at least once to twice a week. Bon apetit!

Pamela Campbell

I love the gluten-free options!

Wogaman Family

Celiac here AND LET ME TELL YOU HOW AMAZING THIS ICE CREAM SHOP IS!! I did a lot of research before we came here. I have celiac and my son is gluten intolerant. We both had the gluten free waffle cone and a scoop of GF ice cream. All of their products have an allergen and ingredient list for the customer to look at. I felt extremely safe eating here and the staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. I kid you not, the best, BEST ice cream and waffle cone I have had since being diagnosed with celiac. I wish we didn't live hours away because it would be a regular stop for the family. At least I know where we are going for ice cream EVERY time we visit Hatteras!! Thank you for making this celiac's heart and taste buds very happy!!

Yevhen Tsvietukhin

Great ice cream and outdoor seating area. They have vegan and gluten free options

Haley Brumfield

My fiancé ordered the chocolate covered strawberry and I am gluten free. The guy offered to scoop it fresh from the back. The service was beyond amazing and the ice cream is fantastic!! Definitely recommend

Eileen Strock

The tastiest gluten-free burger I've ever had! They really take good care of celiacs like me, you can even mark it as an allergy. Absolutely delicious!

Xin-Yi Yap

Situated in downtown Apex, this branch of FRESH. has a great ambiance with open windows in warm weather. The people serving ice cream is great too, letting us know we can have several scoops regardless of the size we get to try the flavors which I appreciated; there were such great options I was spoiled for choice! The ice cream is rich, creamy, and flavorful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for artisan ice cream and to support local business! Non-dairy and gluten free options available.

John Strong

Tons of vegan and gluten free options and a variety of milks makes this one of the most diverse ice cream shops I’ve been in. The vegan ice creams could be more creamy and flavorful, but I will be back to try the others!

Melissa Conway

They made this gluten free girl’s Summer with the gluten free waffle cone! It holds its shape and lasts throughout the ice cream experience. The ice cream itself was amazing! My strawberries and honey ice cream had pockets of real honey and honeycomb, delicious! When we first arrived I was nervous because there was a long line but we were in and out quickly! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I’ll be back allllll Summer!

Dawn Holland

I bought a gluten free peach pie that was recommended to me by the staff, and it was tasteless and disappointing to serve to my guests.

Amy Dempsey

The absolute best hamburger ever!! The gluten free wrap didn’t fall apart and was so wonderful. The selections of dessert’s was amazing and had some gluten free options. Cute outdoor seating by a creek, and a Lego collection to look at rounded out a perfect stop.

Christine Gonzalez

Our favorite ice cream place when we visit family! Love the gluten free brownie with ice cream on top! Worth the long lines!

Dena Carlson

I came here twice while in Raleigh and had the vegan ice cream - Ube. It was very good. It would be nice if they had a vegan chocolate or vanilla to make a sundae. I did like that they offered a gluten free cone. The ice cream was very creamy for non-dairy and delicious.

Kim Cuny

Came here to report that they have Gluten Free cookies, making this a GF inclusive experience like no other. Bravo Blue Deer!

Elizabeth Wakely

Hands down best gluten free pizza. We have been here each week to try a new pizza since opening. There hasn’t been a pizza my husband and I don’t love! Highly recommend stone fired social. Atmosphere, food, and drinks 12/10!

Phillip Helm

There was a long line, but worth it. Tiny shop with 2 tables. Many vegan and gluten free options. They have gluten free sugar cones! The vegan vanilla was outstanding.

A Singletary

I’ve heard great reviews about SugarKoi and Asian inspired ice cream shop and my curiosity led me on a road trip to their location today. It’s tucked away in the Big Lots plaza in Cary, NC. Definitely a hidden gem! Such an adorable place with lot’s of yummy flavors to choose from such as Salty Caramel Truffle, Raspberry sorbet, Ube(Sweet purple yam), brown butter bourbon truffle, matcha tea and plenty more to choose from! The gentleman who waited on me and offered me samples was so kind and friendly, great hospitality and service. I had to try the Ube flavor and it was quite good and refreshing. They even had Gluten Free cones! Yum!

Nikki Kulp

Great staff and very friendly. Clean atmosphere. We have a gluten allergy, were very knowledgeable and even had a sheet with all flavors and whether or not they were gluten free. One of the best spots in the island.

Brooke Peterson

Came here because a friend recommended it, and we had such an amazing experience. I have celiac and they were very gluten friendly and safe, as well as having gluten free waffle cones! Amazing people and outstanding customer service. Gelato flavors are delicious and there are so many too choose from. If I could give ten stars I would

Danielle D

Friendly staff and great choices. Really appreciate the Italian ice options which are dairy free and gluten free!

Kevin Rayan

OMG!!! I am not sure I can describe how delicious the Ice Cream is in this establishment. Nice friendly service. Clean and tidy place. They have vegan and Gluten free flavors.

hanni bissell

This place never disappoints. We love the flavor of their ice creams; and they have gluten free lactose free waffle cones now available! The holiday flavors look so yummy!

Alicia Gentile

My favorite place to stop and get coffee and gluten free cookies when visiting Boone. We always make a point to stop when in town. Very friendly staff and I appreciate the gluten free options.

Debbie Stewart

I have Celiacs disease and they took my allergy seriously! Without asking, they opened a new bucket!! Yummy ice cream, fast service! Thank you!!!!!

Erica Hydro

Ice cream is creamy but not overly rich. Gluten free cookies are available which is nice because it isn't common. Cookie was decent.

Kelly Blake

I love the variety in flavors and that there is vegan ice cream, but I wish they had sugar-free ice cream too. My mom is gluten and sugar free so she can't eat anything here without breaking her guidelines.

Kelley

The custard was really good. Both vanilla and chocolate were flavorful, not just backdrops for toppings. They don't mark gluten free options or have gluten free cones. The prices are fair and the portions plentiful. I would definitely go back.

Katie Holloway

Dairy free and gluten free options were delicious!!

Samantha McClellan

I am so happy to have this shop in town now. They are the only place in the area with genuinely great dairy free and gluten free options. Creamy oat milk based DF options, DF whipped cream and chocolate sauce and even gluten free Oreos as a topping. A fantastic special treat for our allergy family. Love fat cat!

Yeedah Krasowski

The challenge of being gluten and dairy free is spontaneity. . Its very difficult stopping to have a great like everyone else unless you do some research. And in the heat of summer who doesn't want an ice cream. . But I researched and found Amorino had several dairy free options of Gelato which was great for our date day seeing the spider exhibit at the museum, the Lego experience, some shopping, we stopped by Amorino's I got the dark chocolate and mixed berries Gelato, my hubby got the blueberry cheesecake and a lemon Gelato, but what made this experience exceptional is the setting. We sat outside at the little bistro table and enjoyed listening to the gurgling water fountain and people watching and midday there was no trouble parking on the street. It was a sweet end to our day.

Alicia Salazar

Clearly marked gluten free options, which I have to have due to Celiac Disease. I got a double scoop bowl of a peanut butter variety and moose tracks. I haven't had moose tracks since my diagnosis and was so happy! Plus when I mentioned my dietary needs, the young worker went in the back and got mine from new containers to prevent cross contamination. We'll be back!

Brandon Merrill

Great ice cream and the staff was great about gluten/celiac issues and flavors that were gluten free

Patrice Tutt

Best gluten-free brownie cookie I ever ate.

michelle n

The bowls are so good! I was kind of annoyed I got the avocado toast instead of the bowl, but my friend thankfully shared. The cold brew is great, too. I'm glad there are gluten-free and dairy-free options here.

Jennifer Hallenbeck

The owner does not believe in gluten allergy. The staff did not take proper precautions. I became ill. I knew better but thought it wouldn't hurt.... boy was I wrong! I won't visit this location again! Other locations have been obliging.

Tamar Bleich

So good! They have unique flavors to choose from. Gluten and dairy free options. It can get busy but they move the line along really well. They will let you try anything before you decide. Very nice crew. For the price you get a decent amount, nice workers, and a really cute spot.

Amber Easterling

They always have a small amount of GF treats on-hand. The GF blueberry muffins are amazing! You can order GF cupcakes ahead of time for pickup! They have a lot of regular pastries, so if you have a family that can eat both gluten and gluten free this place is a nice option!

A Spice Below the Horizon

What a great place that offers cupcakes and ice cream! I especially appreciate how they have gluten free items and to go items. The cost is reasonable and the amount is appropriate. The staff were kind and went above and beyond. CLEAN!!! I highly recommend.

Lakin McEvoy

Love this place! I come here any time I’m traveling to Charlotte for work. Huge bonus for gluten free folks like myself - they have CAKE flavors that are gluten free and they’re amazing.
