Finding safe and delicious treats when you have food allergies is never easy. For years, my family struggled to enjoy something as simple as going out for ice cream together. Most shops use dairy, nuts, or gluten in nearly everything they make, and even when there are “allergy-friendly” options, cross-contamination risks make them stressful to trust. That’s why discovering this small, local ice cream shop that specializes in Italian water ice—completely nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free—has been life changing for us.

From the very first visit, we could tell this shop was different. The staff were knowledgeable and transparent, clearly labeling their ingredients and assuring us that everything they serve is safe for families like mine. For once, we didn’t have to hover with anxiety. My kids could actually relax and pick flavors without fear, which is something most people take for granted but means the world to those of us dealing with allergies.

And the best part? The water ice is absolutely delicious. This isn’t a “substitute” or second-rate option—it’s a treat anyone would love. The texture is smooth and refreshing, never icy or bland, and every flavor bursts with real, vibrant taste. Our family favorites are lemon, cherry, mango, and strawberry, but the shop rotates flavors often, so there’s always something new to try. Even our relatives without allergies rave about how good it is. No one feels like they’re missing out.

Beyond the product, the shop itself is a joy to visit. It has a cheerful, welcoming atmosphere, and you can always find families gathered outside on warm evenings enjoying their treats. The owners clearly care about their customers and treat everyone like neighbors, greeting us warmly and making the experience feel personal. It’s not a faceless chain—it’s a family-run business that values community.

For my family, this shop has become the backdrop for so many happy memories. We’ve celebrated birthdays here, cooled off after hot summer days, and even turned tough days around with a quick stop for water ice. It’s a place where we can finally participate in the simple tradition of grabbing dessert together, without fear or stress. That sense of inclusion and safety is priceless.

What makes this business truly special is that inclusivity isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation. They’ve proven that you don’t need dairy, nuts, or gluten to create a product that’s every bit as crave-worthy as traditional ice cream. In fact, their Italian water ice is better than most ice cream shops we’ve tried.

If I could give this shop more than five stars, I would. They’ve given my family peace of mind, delicious desserts, and countless joyful moments. Whether you have allergies or not, this is a place worth supporting. It’s more than just dessert—it’s community, care, and happiness in a cup. We’ll be loyal customers for life.

Stopped in for a frozen tree blue raspberry and bubblegum. It’s very good. The customer service was great unfortunately it was out of the ice cream flavors that I wanted to get but overall my wife really enjoyed her Italian ice.

This place is so great!!! Red Fish is by far, my favorite there, but any flavor you can’t go wrong with!!! Also get some to take home!!!

Friendly service. Hand made ice cream, milk shakes, and Italian ice. Delicious!

Taste good and so kind. We will visit again.

Amazing italian ice and customer service. 10/10

They have a lot of great options of ice cream and italian water ice and i tried pina colada and it was very good.

Really hits the spot especially since I try not to eat dairy as much. Try the Italian ice!

Italian Ice Water is so good for hot summer day. Mango and Pineapple flavor was our favorite!

I love the Italian Water Ice. Especially, the lemon and cherry flavors. Friendly employees and a clean place.
