16 Best Ice Cream Shops in Bellingham

“Someone told us about Cryo Rolls while hiking near Bellingham, so my wife and I stopped by to try it out. We were not disappointed, this is the BEST ice cream we've ever had. The flavors are vibrant, it is super creamy, and the serving size is generous. The location is also great, right along the Bellingham waterfront. We'll be back!“

“Preordered & easily picked up various 4 qts enroute to weekend party. Everyone gushed how much they loved it. Must give me name & location. First time gelato for me. Loved. So creamy. Fairhaven District Bellingham location pleasant & helpful staff.“

“A welcoming and cozy little cafe, that's quiet enough to chat in. The gelato is amazing, and the chocolate are silky and rich. Best of all, drinking chocolate made with any chocolate you want: my favorite is the white chocolate.“

“Took my daughter today and although they were very busy, and there was only one guy working, he was incredibly sweet and working so hard and fast it was 10 times better tasting than I expected. Can’t wait to go again.“

“Mallard is THE Bellingham ice cream shop. Always mixing up fun, funky flavors in addition to classics and such a fun atmosphere to enjoy. Their staff always rocks AND they even have a fridge full of pints of their ice cream available for purchase. Plus, they're consistently creating fun collaborations with other local businesses in the area, most notably, collabs with dessert shops that bring in their dynamic flavors to match Mallard's. Menu Faves: Super Chocolate, Mint Oreo, Coconut Chocolate Chunk with Almonds, Tony's Cold Crew (Gluten-Free), Cookies & Coconut (Gluten-Free/Vegan)“

“I was visiting my family and we wanted to stop by for ice cream and I’m so glad we did! This place is so amazing and I love it so much! Will definitely have to come back next time I visit. There is a wide variety of flavors and they let you taste them as well. The servings are pretty large for a good price, I got a mini and I’m glad I did because the ice cream is very dense. They don’t add any air so it is very worth the price. The texture is so different from any ice cream that I have had, it is very stretchy and smooth. It’s so good and I love it. They also serve coffee and milkshakes, I didn’t get any but probably very good as well. The atmosphere is also very cute, they have a world map where you can mark where you are visiting from which is very interesting and fun. The service is also incredible, the staff were so kind and helpful. Overall I would say this place is amazing, I will have to go here again next time I visit.

Vegetarian options: There is some ice cream flavors with marshmallow and things with gelatin. For the most part it is all vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: I am not sure but I don’t think there are dairy free options. Gluten free options are available as well as vegetarian.“

“I love this place, great flavors, staff is always pleasant and very helpful. The atmosphere is always great, never disappoints. I'm going to miss you guys over the fall/winter break, and the lemon poppyseed icecream!

Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a throat closing gluten allergy, they were very careful to not cross contaminate and very understanding to check all ingredients.

Kid-friendliness: When is icecream not kid-friendly lol

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a path recently created right next to their location. Register and counter are low.“

“yummy and not too expensive for a great treat! very family friendly, good costumer service, a place for small kids to write in chalk. board games and awesome chill music💙💚“

“Best breakfast bagels in town.“

“Love Lafeens! Come here all the time with my friends!“

“Super friendly guy at the register as we meandered in, high on life at nearly 1am last nite. We had great small talk, got some ice cream with our cookies in the neatest little half and half box, and were on our way home. The cookies were so dang good, and the ice cream was pretty nice, too!
Atmosphere, it was clean and inviting. Phenomenal service.“

“Service was friendly and prompt. ? I'm glad to have a place where you can get some red bean taiyaki.

Whoever chooses the music or playlists has good taste in my opinion and a sense of humor. Didn't expect to hear soft ethereal music like Sigur Ros or Minecraft ost when I came in but it made me happy and feel at peace. And I nearly burst out laughing from surprise when 2008 Toyota Corolla by 2003 Toyota Corolla came on ?.“

“they have all the flavors and mix ins anyone could want. I wish they delivered!“

“Loved it. It's a great traditional drive-in, and more importantly the burgers taste great basic burgers, bun Patty, lettuce, special sauce, tomato, but all together super nostalgic feel and brings you back to when you were younger, and that's what you're going for when you're going to a place like that. Next time I'm in Bellingham, I definitely will stop by the shop one more time. Heck, I might even try the Thanksgiving burger.“

“Best banna/splits around....😋“

“I was in there to get my twins out of the weather and decided to see if I had enough change to get a drink and maybe a small fry. And a kind gentleman offered to buy me a full meal I thanked him even after refusing three times but I sat down and my twins and I shared chocolate ice cream and french fries. Every time I go in the staff is kind and the dinners are pleasant to talk to and be around.

Parking: It is a small parking lot so get there before the college gets out for lunch

Kid-friendliness: Yeah they don't have a play area but it still a nice place to bring the kiddos

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs can get in easy but they will need someone to hold the door“
