We recommend dairy free sorbet, coconut milk based scoops, and simple toppings as easy allergen friendly ice cream ideas for Cedar Hills families who plan a visit to Brookers Founding Flavors Ice Cream in Lehi. When you tell us about an allergy up front, we will point you to flavors and service practices that reduce the chance of cross contact and keep dessert simple and safe.
Allergen friendly choices to try at Brookers Founding Flavors Ice Cream
Our shop serves homemade, super premium ice cream with a rotating selection of 32 rich flavors. For families concerned about common allergens, here are the practical options to consider when you visit.
- Fruit sorbets. Sorbets are usually dairy free and a natural first choice for lactose intolerance or dairy allergy. Ask staff which sorbet flavors are on rotation that day.
- Coconut milk bases. Coconut based frozen desserts offer creaminess without cow milk. They are often a good alternative for dairy free diets, though you should check for added mix ins.
- Simple single ingredient scoops. Plain flavors without mix ins or cookie pieces lower the risk of hidden allergens.
- Separate cups and cones. Choosing a cup instead of a cone eliminates the chance of wheat in cone recipes, and it is easier to manage toppings separately.
- Milkshake options. For milkshake orders, ask whether a dairy free base is available and request separate blending equipment if needed.
If you want a deeper primer before you come, our Allergen Friendly Options topic page explains the kinds of substitutes and labeling you can expect at a dessert shop like ours, and it lists common allergens to watch for. Read more on our Allergen Friendly Options page Allergen Friendly Options.
How to order so allergies are clear and handled carefully
We find that a short conversation at the counter prevents most problems. These steps help you get the safest dessert without slowing service for other guests.
- Tell us right away. When you arrive, tell the team member about the allergy. We will pause and show you which flavors and toppings are safe.
- Pick simple flavors. Choose plain sorbets or single ingredient scoops rather than mix ins like cookie pieces, caramel chunks, or nuts.
- Ask about scooping practices. Request that staff use a clean scoop or a scoop set aside for dairy free orders when possible.
- Hold toppings until you approve them. Ask to have toppings served on the side so you can add only what is safe for your group.
- Consider separate containers. If you are ordering for multiple people with different allergies, order separate cups to avoid any chance of cross contact.
We rotate 32 flavors and seasonal selections. If you need a consistent dairy free or nut free choice, ask which options are available the day you visit so we can recommend a reliable pick.
What we do behind the counter to reduce cross contact
We do not release medical level assurances, but here are common practices you can expect from our team when you mention an allergy.
- Highlighting or labeling allergen friendly tubs and sauces for quick visibility.
- Using clean utensils and, when feasible, reserving a scoop for dairy free orders during a shift.
- Keeping high risk toppings in covered containers and adding them to cups only after a guest confirms they are safe.
- Training staff to repeat allergy details back to the guest at the time of order so there is less chance of miscommunication.

Kid friendly picks and family friendly ideas for a Cedar Hills outing
Visiting Brookers is part treat and part experience. Our Revolutionary War themed decor and period costume staff make dessert feel like a small celebration. Here are family friendly ideas that keep allergy safety in mind.
- Build a simple sundae. Start with a dairy free base if needed, then top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of fruit sauce, or plain sprinkles added on the side.
- Share a platter for variety. Order several small cups so kids can try different safe flavors without sharing utensils.
- Birthday celebrations. For parties, keep a separate dessert table for allergy sensitive guests and label each cup.
- Date night alternatives. Adults can enjoy richer flavors while still offering a dairy free option for guests who need it.

Pro tip: If someone in your group has a severe allergy, bring a list of ingredients they react to and show it to the person taking orders. That short step helps us avoid assumptions and match you with the safest options on the menu.
Milkshakes sundaes and cakes when allergies are a concern
Our menu includes milkshakes, sundaes, and cakes. When allergies are in play, the simplest choices are usually the safest.
- Milkshakes. Ask whether a dairy free base is available and if the blender can be cleaned or kept separate for non dairy blends.
- Sundaes. Build sundaes from a plain base and add toppings on the side. Skip crunchy mix ins if nut allergies are present.
- Cakes. Our shop makes ice cream cakes. For allergy sensitive events, discuss flavor components and decorations in advance so we can outline options that minimize risk.
