Dedicated Free Of: Shellfish, Sesame
Other Allergens They Can Accommodate: Peanut, Soy, Fish, Gluten, and Sunflower
“We recently learned that Epic Burger has a blender that is dedicated free of nuts! It’s actually a different color. We were so excited that we tried vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry shakes! They were so good! We also had french fries, which are made in a fryer dedicated free of nuts, and a burger, of course! And for anyone with a sesame allergy, they are sesame-free including their buns! Such a find; we love Epic Burger! We have had great experiences here. They are almost more conservative than us. We’d feel comfortable eating at any location.”

CALIFORNIA
Black Tap
Location: Anaheim, California
“They can make any of their shakes vegan and it was the best shake I have ever had (I’ve had my fair share of ice cream). The manager was exceptional. I had ordered dairy-free for allergies and chose chocolate Oreo. He notified me that they used an off-brand of Oreo and it contained dairy. He refunded the topping and remade my shake for me. I was so thankful he saw my allergy on the order slip, went out of his way to help, and was so helpful. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m on vacation! 5 stars are not enough!”

Smokejumpers Grill
Location: Anaheim, California
“Located off of Buena Vista Street near the Soarin’ Over the World attraction, Smokejumpers Grill is one of my favorite spots for lunch or dinner in California Adventure. The kitchen is nut-free, except for the Impossible burger, and they have allergy-friendly burger buns, gluten-free fries, and plant-based cheese! Since I can have coconut, I am safely able to have the Impossible burger loaded vegan chili fries which are incredible and top 8 allergen-free! I also LOVE their milkshakes, which are all always nut-free! Their summer seasonal s’mores shake contains graham cracker crumbs, but I was able to get it specially made gluten-free by the chef!”

Roam Artisan Burgers
Location: San Francisco, California
“Such yummy burgers! I’ve been coming here for years and always feel safe with my allergies! I love how customizable everything is. Even the burger meat has options: turkey, beef, bison, lamb, and veggie. Their most popular bun is a sesame seed bun but they do have other options (wheat, gluten-free, or lettuce wrap). I’ve never had a shake here BUT the flavors are all nut-free (sans coconut) and my peanut/tree nut-allergic friend had a vanilla bean shake with no problems! Got takeout here during COVID with no problems! Love Roam!”

Three Girls Vegan
Location: Guilford, Connecticut
“Three Girls Vegan has been serving delicious Italian cuisine for years. They recently opened a bakery at a second location in Connecticut. They serve bakery foods, breads and more. I went there on their third day since opening and enjoyed their croissants, focaccia, pain au chocolate, cupcakes and cookies. I also had their soft serve ice cream with chocolate dip on a cone. They have a few different soft serve flavors and a choice of chocolate or cherry dip and other toppings. They also make soft serve sundaes, shakes and ice cream cakes. Their soft serve is oat milk based. I believe they use almond milk as well. Their cones are gluten-free. Everything on their menu is dairy-free, vegan and delicious! I can’t wait to go back to try more items on their menu!”

Wayback Burgers
Location: Rocky Hill, Connecticut
“We love Wayback! Their milkshakes don’t contain nuts—some are made with Oreos which you need to check the label for. Their food is delicious. My favorite milkshake was when they had a seasonal WOWBUTTER shake! I love all of their flavors though so it is hard to pick a favorite.”

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
Location: Kissimmee, Florida
“AMAZING! I do not even have words! If you are going to Disney, you must go here! It is located inside Hollywood Studios! I had a shake for the first time in my life…and not just any shake, but a cookie shake made with Tofutti ice cream, Enjoy Life cookies, rice milk, coconut whipped cream, and house made chocolate sauce! Chef Daniel makes everything in his own station, so no need to worry about cross-contact! In addition to the shake, I had an outstanding burger and fries! Definitely one of the best meals of my life, and chef could not have been any kinder!”

D-Luxe Burger
Location: Lake Buena Vista, Florida
“D-luxe Burger was d-licious! I never really have been able to have speciality shakes at restaurants (let alone theme parks) due to risk of cross-contamination. But D-luxe burger is a saving Grace! Their kitchen is 100% nut-free and make their gelato in-house so it is guaranteed nut-free! This was such a win for Oliver and I, so we had the s’mores shake and fries to share (they fry in canola oil). The s’mores shake was absolutely delicious and I am so happy that I can have a fancy milkshake like everyone else now.”

Bunnie Cakes
Location: Miami, Florida
“They have Cupcake Wars-winning cupcakes. Everything is vegan. Some things are gluten-free. Most things are soy-free. I got to try my first real milkshake there and it was delicious. They also have donuts, which are amazing. They have a large selection of cupcakes as well as regular cakes. Everything about it is amazing!”

Plaza Ice Cream Parlor
Location: Orlando, Florida
“This was honestly the most magical experience for our dining. The chef came out and spent so much time reviewing stuff and our allergens, figured out what our picky food-allergy toddler liked to eat, and created something off menu for her. Chef Ken then made a safe milkshake which was amazing. 10/10 would go back.”

Wild Sugar
Location: Evans, Georgia
“Their coconut and sorbet machine are top 8 free (with the exception of coconut being the tree nut). They do have a gluten-free cookie, however, it does contain soybean if you have to avoid that. Brad, the owner, responded to my email right away sharing product ingredients and pictures. This was very helpful. They do have some top 8 free toppings, however, some of the topping bar ingredients may have cross-contamination but they will provide fresh toppings from the back upon request. Their milkshakes can be made with almond milk upon request as well. This was such a great experience to have a real ice cream date with friends.”

Chicago Diner

Small Cheval
Location: Chicago, Illinois
“There are only two things on the menu here: burgers and french fries. When asking about my nut allergies, the server said “Oh I have nut allergies too. You don’t have to worry about that here.” I even got to enjoy a delicious chocolate milkshake. A quick, easy, and delicious stop. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had!”

Vaca’s Creamery
Location: Chicago, Illinois
“The ice cream was a little on the pricey side, but It. Was. So. Good. Oat milk soft serve ice cream? Yes please! They have chocolate, vanilla, swirl, and a seasonal flavor. They serve milkshakes and sundaes and have plenty of toppings to choose from (there were a couple peanut-related toppings so only eat at your comfort level). But guess what?! They had an ingredient book with all the toppings, ice cream flavors, and the different types of cones’ ingredients! Will absolutely go again.”

“I came here with my daughter and she got the avocado sandwich. It comes with vegan pesto but there are no nuts in the pesto. She also got the red supreme shake which had no nuts and they offered to wash the blender—they do Java almond milk but she’s not allergic. Cute spot near shopping to pop in and hit the stores again! Right in the Chicago Gold Coast near Michigan Ave!”

Aside from one restaurant in Disney World, this is the only place I’ve found milkshakes that are safe for my allergies! The double chocolate shake was an absolute dream come true! I tried both the coffee and vanilla shakes as well, which my parents ordered! They showed me labels of the ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce, and I am just so super excited to have a new safe and delicious place!”

The WooHoo

“The WooHoo is the best spot on Long Beach Island for people with allergies. When you order at the window, they give you a sheet to mark your allergies down! They offer gluten-free buns for burgers, and their french fries are fried in a dedicated fryer, so they’re safe for people with celiac. They understand cross-contamination and take precautions to eliminate it. They also have certain ice cream flavors that are the “allergy flavor” and use dedicated, clean scoops for. They also have an allergy-dedicated milkshake maker, so it is safe for people with celiac! They offer dairy-free ice creams and soft serve as well. The staff is always so kind and helpful when I order. I feel so safe eating here, and come every time I’m at the shore!”

Brownstone Pancake Factory
Location: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
“We ate here for our first time and I will admit, I was very hesitant eating with a menu with so many peanut items. The waiter assured us that there is a separate mixer that doesn’t use any peanut products in it. I was still nervous and went up to the shake prep area and the lady who was making the shake assured me it was on the safe equipment. My peanut-allergic son was able to have a shake! And it was an amazing shake that looked like artwork! The whole dinner was a success!”

Next Level Burger
Location: Portland, Oregon
“Entirely vegan burger and fries kind of place. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly despite being very busy. Menu is clearly labeled that shakes were available in coconut or soy and may contain traces of peanuts, but the shake area is completely separate from the kitchen. She let us know there are other nuts in the kitchen, so be sure to check for your allergens. We are peanut only. Food was delicious, non-GMO, and organic.”

Fifty Licks Ice Cream

“We have yet to let our allergic toddler try ice cream, but I inquired with Fifty Licks (my husband and I love them ourselves), and the owner was so kind and helpful in answering my questions. Of course, there are always risks, but I felt comfortable with his answers and believe the staff would take things seriously and use fresh bins/scoops if we asked. I believe the owner said his wife has allergies, so they understand and take it seriously. The vegan cho-coco-mel is SO delicious, especially in a (non-dairy) milkshake!”

“Always double check when I go in because it is a small menu and they have new flavors. Every time I’ve been, there have been no flavors I’m allergic to so I did not have to request clean tub and clean scoop. I tell them I have allergies and they check to make sure everything is safe. Occasionally, I have seen vegan options, but I might just not notice if they have them all the time. I love their chocolate shakes!”

“I have visited all 3 DFW locations, with the Denton diner being my favorite. Although the diner isn’t advertised as allergy-free, there are so many options and accommodations available for your family. They are strictly vegan, so there isn’t a worry of any animal product cross-contamination, and they can adjust or recommend menu items as needed. Make sure to order a “milk”shake with your meal. The best!”

“We had the vegan gooey brownie molten cake served with a side of vegan ice cream and it was absolutely delicious! Also, the vegan vanilla shake is oh so yummy. This bakery also offers vegan cookies, which we wanted to try but the staff highly recommended not to get the cookies since the peanut butter cookies do share baking trays with the vegan cookies. We were so thankful they shared this information with us. The molten cakes were recommended, since those cakes are prepped and baked in a different area. When we ordered, they made sure to inform staff of our daughters allergens and she was able to safely enjoy a yummy vegan molten cake!”

“They were so informed, more than me! I told them that I had a gluten-allergy and they immediately asked if I wanted them to switch tubs and scoops. They had a folder with every ice cream and what it contained and they were so nice! They offered to clean off the malt machine to make a shake but the cross-contamination would have still existed. Great customer service!”
