The Local Scoop — Restaurant in North Carolina

We have always enjoyed Local Scoop!!! My daughter is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and egg so we have always appreciated the extra step that the employees took for my daughters safety (separate scoops and getting her flavor from the back to avoid cross-contamination). Unfortunately I feel this allergy safety is not understood by all employees anymore - we went to local scoop this afternoon and my daughter wanted to try 2 flavors (key lime and blood orange sorbet) that were not listed on their allergy ingredient wall.
