“The most delicious ice cream in Pittsburgh, and the soft serve is both gluten- AND egg-free! There are plenty of safe topping/sundae options. I’m so happy to have a safe soft serve option that is so creamy, with so many flavor options!”

Dari Delite

“We have driven by this place many times, but never stopped. We always just assumed it would not be safe. But, a whole group of Punkin’s friends were going, so we decided to check it out. She was able to get a Dole Whip (they change flavors often). When we notified the girl about her allergy, she immediately commented that she would let the others know and have them wash their hands. She also knew which cone was safe. I felt very positive after this experience.”

“They only have one flavor of dairy-free ice cream, but there are multiple safe options to mix in. When I said that my daughter had a dairy allergy, the staff person immediately went and got a clean scoop and a plastic tub to mix hers in. I felt very good about our experience.”

Bruster's Real Ice Cream

Bruster’s Real Ice Cream

Location: Bethel Park, Pennsylvania

“First of all, their ice cream is so creamy! Secondly, they have vegan ice cream and change the flavors up. They also have a dedicated scoop for the vegan ice creams. The girl serving us went and washed her hands and then told us that the scoop stays with the vegan flavors. It’s oat milk-based and my daughter is in heaven! Doesn’t hurt that their other ice cream is addictive!”

Scoops On Beverly

“Usually has a dairy-free cookies and cream, which is great, and safe Hawaiian Ice on a hot day.”

@meiguizi, who manages tree nut and milk allergies

The Milk Shake Factory

“They have an online allergy chart! I love the salted caramel milkshake, and I’m glad it’s egg-free!”
