Dairy-Free Ice Cream? Gluten-Free Cones? We’ve got that!
Summer might be winding down, but ice cream season’s still in full swing! With some major help from our Rhode Island-based contributor Samantha L. of Gluten-Free Reality, we’ve compiled a list of ice cream places across the region that offer dairy-free and/or vegan ice cream and GF cones (with a few others thrown in for fun!). Upon request, most will gladly use a sanitized scoop and pull your order from a new container of ice cream. And, be sure to check out Samantha’s feeds on IG and FB!
