| - It's been a long time since I've been to a demetries - at least 7 years and well before my gluten free life. In the past the experience has just been good - good food, nice ambience, kind of crowded, and halfway decent prices (hey, I was a student which meant $15 seemed more like $40).
Regardless, when an out of town friend chose that as the meeting space I checked online to see that they had gfree options and confirmed our date!
We went on a weekday (Monday actually) so it wasn't busy at all, but still had business. I didn't have the option of ordering any sort of crepe or waffle (sadness) but ice cream sans gluteny-things is always good too. I decided to order the "Katy Berry" which was a sundae with strawberry ice cream (made in house with strawberries marinaded in balsamic), strawberries, white chocolate drizzle (that hardened-the best kind of chocolate drizzle!!) and whipped cream. The portion size was massive, especially considering the under $10 price tag. I was amazed! The ice cream was delicious, the strawberries were fresh and crisp, and the chocolate drizzle was so good I wanted to scrape it off the glass. The whipped cream was fairly flavorless but it bodes well with the mass amounts of sugar in the rest of the sundae. But here's the part of the review where I share why I gave 5 stars (when 4 stars is clearly my go-to). When I told him I needed gluten free and he confirmed that it was serious, he told me that they take gfree very seriously and make every effort to double wash items that are used for both gluten and non-gluten items (like ice cream scoops) and to keep cross-contamination from occurring as best they can (with the usual disclaimer). He was so earnest in ensuring my stomach safety that I couldn't help but lose my usual feeling of potential gluten-poisoning anxiety whenever I go out. Also, the fact that he didn't say something like "so then do you want the waffle in the sundae??" made me happy. You wouldn't believe the questions I get sometimes.
The website also had a very clear section on what items are gluten free and which aren't. All of the toppings sauces and ice-creams are gfree - excluding any that overtly include gluten, like cookie dough, brownies, etc. There were a surprising number of options available and while I hope they eventually expand to include gfree waffles and crepes, I will definitely be back again and again to enjoy their delicious ice cream!!
