Gluten-free Friendly Snacks and More Reviews

Kayleigh and Jason here. This post is a bit of a hodge-podge, so we can mention all of the gluten-free friendly places we've come across for quick snacks, desserts, and easy grab-on-the-go grub. Check back on this post from time to time, as we add more places to the list!

Cold Stone Creamery- Not all Cold Stone locations can accommodate so thoroughly, but many (including the one at the Crossroads mall in Bellevue) educate their employees about allergy-conscious preparation methods. For gluten, this includes using brand-new scoops, getting ice cream from tubs in the back rather than the front counter, and adding any mix-ins on a clean 'allergy plate' instead of the regular countertop. Just avoid upgrading to the waffle bowl. :)

Yogurtland- Before going to Yogurtland for the first time, I went on their website to jot down all the yogurt flavors that contained gluten (most of the cookie or cake- themed flavors are a no-go). Upon entering the self-serve area, we were pleasantly surprised to find that each flavor had the allergen labels clearly visible, with cross-contamination nearly impossible. Use the toppings bar at your own discretion, since they are not separated according to allergens, but who really misses them when the yogurt tastes so good!

Tully's (some)- We've spotted individually wrapped Wow cookies at the counters of several different Tully's locations around Washington. So next time you're craving a sweet treat along with your latte, pop into a Tully's and take your pick!
