Frequently asked questions
Is ice cream gluten-free?
Plain ice cream made from milk, cream, sugar, and most flavorings is naturally gluten-free. The risk comes from add-ins (cookie dough, brownie bits, certain candies), cones, and shared scoops or equipment. If you have celiac disease, ask each shop about cross-contamination and dedicated scoops.
Do San Francisco ice cream shops offer gluten-free cones?
Some do. Many shops can serve any flavor in a cup to keep it gluten-free, and a growing number stock gluten-free cones. Call ahead or check in store if a gluten-free cone is important to you.
