Snacks and treats
- Butterbeer. The regular versions are gluten-free. The Butterbeer potted cream is too. Ask for ice cream in a cup, never a cone.
- Popcorn from the carts, including in Super Nintendo World. Ask to see the label.
- Ben and Jerry's soft serve in a cup. Skip cones and toppings.
- Fresh fruit cups and frozen fruit bars at Palace Deli, Studio Cafe and the Universal Tower Snack Bar.
- Frozen lemonade at the snack bars.
Churros and churro bites at Universal Hollywood are made with wheat flour, so they are not gluten-free.
A quick checklist for every meal
Before the trip
- Browse menus in the Universal Studios Hollywood app
- Plan meals at Three Broomsticks, Mel's Diner and Toadstool Cafe
- Pack safe snacks for the day
At every meal
- Say "gluten allergy" or "celiac" before you order, every time
- Ask for a manager, or a chef at Three Broomsticks and Toadstool Cafe
- Ask about dedicated fryers. Only Mel's Diner has one for fries
- Ask to see the allergy binder
- Butterbeer ice cream in a cup, never a cone
- No churros
