“I absolutely love a la mode. I always make it a point to stop by whenever I got into NYC. Their staff is amazing, always friendly, and helpful. They use separate scoops for all of their flavors and the best part is that they are super allergy-friendly! They have plenty of dairy-free options and they’re whole facility is nut, egg, and sesame-free! My favorite part is the toppings. To have the ability to walk in and pick whatever cone, toppings, or flavors I like is priceless! They also have the most amazing soft serve ice cream! It’s been years since I’ve been able to enjoy a 100% safe soft serve and they hit it on the mark!!”

Location: Chicago, Illinois
“I am 19 years old and this was my first time going out for ice cream. I finally found a place I could trust, and it certainly did not disappoint. I was not even nervous taking my first bite, which says a lot for me. On top of that, the ice cream was ridiculously amazing. I will be going back all the time and I’m from the burbs, but it’s totally worth the drive. Incredible.”

6. Frankie and Jo’s
Location: Seattle, Washington
“This ENTIRE Ice Cream shop is dairy-free, gluten-free, and no peanut! Many of their ice creams are also made with dates instead of sugar. Not to mention, their ice Cream is INCREDIBLE! It’s so good that my picky, non-allergic friend has to go there when she visits me in Seattle.”

8. The Franklin Fountain
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“They have a “sanitized for allergies” protocol where the scoop is fresh and they pull a fresh bin. The answer on the phone and the answer from the worker at the window were identical (different people!). They thoroughly explained the protocol and took very careful attention. I felt extremely safe. I’ve been here at other times during peak and I would definitely try to go at an off time.”
@cas589, who manages peanut, tree nut, and seed allergies

11. Salt & Straw
Location: San Francisco, California
“The menu here was super helpful, it listed what contained the top 8 allergens and what was vegan. There were definitely tons of nuts around, which made me cautious. The staff had a clear procedure though and used a fresh bin with a clean scoop. The ice cream was wonderful and my dairy-free sister said it was the best she has ever had. I would recommend this place, but I would advise everyone to be extra careful because of the high risk of cross contamination.”
@lizzyanderlik, who manages peanut, tree nut, shrimp, sesame, and flax allergies
12. Kilwin’s Naples
Location: Naples, Florida
“Honestly, there are quite a few things with nuts at Kilwin’s. However, the staff is very patient, responsive, and considerate when it comes to serving one with food allergies. The ice cream scooper is cleaned separately, and the staff scoops the ice cream from a new bin in the back. Kilwin’s also serves many treats apart from ice cream, which are just as delicious. Please remember to let your server know of your allergies so they can accommodate you and your loved ones. Also, Kilwin’s scoops are very large and amazingly delicious.”

“Everything is vegan here—but you can’t even tell! The menu lists all of the allergens (if any) included in each item, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgable. They always ask if a person in your party has any allergies, and they are aware of any allergens in their products. My dairy-eating friends love this place, too! Highly recommend!”
@lm14, who manages celiac and milk and wheat allergies
22. Molly Moon’s
Location: Seattle, Washington
“Nut-free ice cream in the Seattle area! We went to multiple locations & they were super consistent with allergies! They can have a busy rush in the afternoon and/or evening, so if you have allergies other than nuts, that is something to note; however, they were accommodating both times in regards to gluten! Hazelnuts are a topping, but all ice cream flavors are nut-free. The ice cream is delicious!”

A small area where they make the most amazing safe sea-salt French fries, and serve up dairy-free footlong hotdogs! My son has been eating these both at least once a week for a fun treat for the last 8 years! The staff knows me personally and always takes extra care with his order! The amount of dairy-free ice cream there is insane. They have an entire cooler of hard ice cream by itself, as well as soft serve and novelties! And don’t forget the amazing slushees! People come from all over!”

33. The Parlour
Location: Durham, North Carolina
“This ice cream was SO good! I called the shop ahead of time and they let me know that none of their ice cream bases included egg and they had plenty of gluten-free options. When I got to the shop they confirmed which flavors did not include my allergens (including soy) and got new scoops AND scooped from a fresh ice cream bin. I tried the Vanilla and Salted Butter Caramel and they were both 10/10. So creamy and delicious.”

I am not comfortable having my child eat at ice cream places, but this one put me at ease. I’m not a big risk taker! They have dairy free options and gluten free options too- including gf cones & gf brownie bowls! Besides being allergy-friendly, it’s filled with really cool 50’s memorabilia too! A must visit if in Wildwood, NJ!”

That same employee then brings me my cup him or herself.”

49. Meadowlark Dairy
Location: Pleasanton, California
“Called to ask about peanut. Employee said there is no peanut in their ice cream or cones, however didn’t sound entirely confident. Went to location and again asked in person. The majority of staff are young teenagers, went to go check with other young staff. Was not entirely confident with their responses. Checked on yelp and found 1 positive experience for another peanut-allergic person. We took the chance and let my son have a bit of vanilla and orange flavor. Thankfully no issues, however proceed with caution and consider your level of comfort”

62. Smitten Ice Cream
Location: San Jose, California
“I’ve visited 3 different Smitten locations in the Bay Area and had fantastic experiences with my food allergies! They have no peanuts, and occasionally have a seasonal flavor with pecans or almonds, and also have shaved almonds as a topping option. The ice cream is made to order using liquid nitrogen, so it’s scooped from a base and then they would add the mix-ins separately (nuts and/or gluten-containing cookies, etc.) I always say I have an allergy, and they change gloves and use clean equipment! I love their chocolate and vanilla flavors! I usually avoid the sprinkles/toppings just to be on the safe side because they are in an area with almonds (although they all have separate jars!) but I have gotten their caramel and chocolate sauce before and both are so good! Highly recommend Smitten for safe ice cream in the Bay Area!”

“I am so pleased with our experience here! As a mother of a toddler with multiple food allergies, I am constantly on edge about trying new restaurants and food options. We were wanting ice cream (sorbet for my son) and came across Icicles on Yelp. My husband ran in to check out the situation. I was so impressed (and grateful!) They have at least 3-4 signs up asking about food allergies. They have dedicated areas for dairy and/or nut-free, and told my husband before making our son’s dairy-free/nut-free concoction: “This is a dedicated dairy/nut-free tray. I’ve already changed my gloves and gotten clean utensils from the back.” And then, the employee went to the back for fresh toppings (to avoid cross contamination.) So wonderful to have an allergy-friendly (and aware) experience!”

They run plain flavors first and then any containing gluten or mix-ins (the malted flavor does have a possible cross contamination warning on it from the factory that produces the malted milk balls). They then take all equipment apart for full cleaning and reassembly. We have been eating ice cream here for years and fully feel confident in their operation.”

86. The 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 milk shakes 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.”

87. The Village Scoop
Location: Colchester, Vermont
“I contacted this ice cream shop about their maple Creemees. They said they are nut-free and self contained in their own machine. There are many nuts on premise so they said to inform the staff who can wash their hands and get a cup or cone from a fresh box.”

Location: New Orleans, Louisiana
“When my sister emailed and asked about their allergens, the owner was very thoughtful and open about their allergens and how they clean their machines.”

89. Sticky Sweet
Location: Portland, Maine
“Sticky Sweet is a dedicated gluten-free and vegan ice cream shop! They make EVERYTHING from scratch (even the sprinkles) and have both a scoop shop and pints for sale. I tried their cookies and cream and they did not skimp on the cookies—major bonus!”

Location: Bethany Beach, Delaware
“Staff were all knowledgeable and used a clean scoop and fresh bin. Felt very comfortable having our nut-allergic child eat there.”

91. Sweet Republic
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
“SIX dairy-free flavors options! All kept in a separate case from the rest of the dairy containing flavors, and with their own dedicated dairy free scoops. Nuts are present so I usually don’t get toppings to avoid cross contamination. I love the coconut flavor, the chocolate, and the basil lime!”

92. Mr. Gene’s Beans
Location: Fairhope, Alabama
“Love this local ice cream shop for its charm but also because I have never been when they didn’t have a dairy/gluten/nut-free soft serve option (usually a sorbet). They do have many other ice cream and topping options, but from what I have been told they always use the same machine for the non-dairy soft serve to avoid cross contamination. It’s always a good idea to ask and make sure, but that has been the case for as many years as I have been there! I usually get the rainbow sprinkles as well, as they are typically in a separate container from the other toppings and served with a clean spoon. If for whatever reason the non-dairy soft serve is down, they also have great popsicles, sodas, and novelty candies that are allergy friendly as well! All around great place!”

93. Love Creamery
Location: Duluth, Minnesota
“Just WOW! Took my sons to Love Creamery and we had such an amazing experience. Menu clearly labeled and they asked us several questions about allergies. For my son with a soy allergy they went to the back and retrieved his ice cream from a new container with a clean spoon. Vegan and gluten-free options as well.”

94. New Territories
Location: New York, New York
“The owner here is super passionate about what he does. The menu does change every 2-3 months, but it was very well labeled. There are nuts but he super sanitized the scoop and answered all questions we had. We ate the island time coconut sorbet with cocoa nibs for my daughter. If you do the HK waffle cone it’s super insta worthy.”

95. Sweet Peaks Ice Cream
Location: Bozeman, Montana
“They have a dairy-free sorbet option and multiple gluten-free options that are always rotating! They use high quality ingredients and most come from Montana. Cute location, too!”

96. Waukee Ice Cream Shoppe
Location: Waukee, Iowa
“We went here recently and while they do have a warning here about allergies, they take a lot of precautions. The person helped us washed his hands, changed gloves and was overall just very cautious and conscientious when handling our cones. They have dole whip here and their dole whip flavors rotate every week! My daughter safely had the soft serve. The scooped ice cream was kemps, which we aren’t ok with but it’s nice to have a safe soft serve option at a local place.”
@vkotz, who manages peanut and tree nut allergies
97. Mac’s Maple
Location: Plainfield, New Hampshire

100. Yogurt Park
Location: Berkeley, California
“Frozen yogurt (so no scoop is required), but not self serve. If you let them know that you have a nut allergy they will get you get your toppings in the back, away from where all of the nuts are. Also, it’s super tasty!”
