43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Burien

“Amazing flavors!! The owners are lots of fun!!“

“Visited on a Sunday afternoon after a friend recommended this local spot in Burien.
We tried the bacon sandwich, $13 from the breakfast menu, and the Cuban melt $15 from the lunch menu.

While the café itself has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The bacon sandwich felt a bit too small for the price, and the Cuban melt could have been much better if they had added some Dijon mustard to balance the richness of the mayo—it would have brought out the true flavor of a Cuban sandwich.

Staff were kind, and the space has a neighborhood charm, so I’d be open to coming back to try their pastries or coffee.“

“FroYo, Almond milk, Sugar free, and Sorbet. Great flavors, and lots of yummy toppings to choose from! 😍😋“

“1st time to this location. There was only 1 staff member there 02/10/25. She was very sweet and although swamped she tried her best to accommodate everyone a quickly as she could.

I appreciate the effort even if we waited, I did not mind. Because that’s the thing that is missing in customer service these days, a kind and friendly face.

I much rather wait than to deal with rude and unfriendly staff.

Hopefully other customers will be patient as well and treat people the way they themselves want to be treated. And treat new young staff with grace and kindness.

Thank you for helping us with the best of your abilities. Experience will come with practice and time.“

“Very impressed with this Dairy Queen store location. Dairy Queen is a top favorite with my wife and kids so I have been to many locations in MN and WI. I had never been to this location so called to confirm they sold cakes. The customer service on the phone was upbeat and friendly. The service at the store when I arrive was equal to the call (friendly and helpful). While I waited for the cake (very quick) to be personalized, I observed great and efficient service for each customer in line. Great store!! Until next time.“

“This is honestly the very best gelato I’ve ever had! Such a unique ice cream experience, like nothing I’ve ever tasted. You will appreciate the high quality ingredients, and care that goes into every batch. Vanilla Malt and Ube Coconut were my favorites.“

“Fresh gelato with local fruit, each flavor has a story to tell: lemon basil, pear, Illy coffee, hazelnut, strawberry and peach.... and .... 🥁🥁🥁 please..... Pistachio....pistachio 👌“

“The person they had putting orders together for pickup recognized me as I tied up my dramatic dog outside and had it ready before my little thespian had time to earn himself his Emmy, but he almost certainly would have if they weren't so speedy!

Anyway, I would love to see the Thai Bird sandwich to become a permanent addition. Whenever a chicken sandwich joint has this as a flavor on offer, it is the one I always try first and eat the most.“

“What a great, local establishment. You can’t go wrong with any of the sandwiches (the ham salad and the Irish breakfast sandwiches are my favorite). So many flavors of ice cream...all homemade. Locally made chocolates and an amazing assortment of European treats. The owners are so sweet and kind and their staff is always friendly and serves with a smile. Highly recommend (and take a half gallon of ice cream home with you)!“

“This post deserves a SHARE and it’s public! I ventured out to Creamy Cone Cafe (a Black owned small business) for the first time today. The post about the grilled cheese on croissant bread with tomato soup got me. As soon as I walked in I wanted everything!!!! I started with ALL 12 of the flavors currently on hand, the grilled cheese w/soup, the peach cobbler à la mode and a brown sugar cookie that never made it home. My favorite flavors were Strawberry Shortcake, Banana Pudding, Mint Mud pie and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. None of the flavors were displeasing and ALL of them I would order again. I love that you can taste the individual ingredients in the ice cream it’s self. You can absolutely tell these flavors are made with real fruit!! There was a vegan flavor and a non-dairy flavor that was tasty, something for everyone!!! I will be back often. I did want to point out, just because parking isn’t the greatest doesn’t mean don’t stop in. When you walk through the door it feels like family! Also, they have gift certificates. A win win!!! I’ll be buying some to give to people so they can experience the greatness as well. The list of current flavors are in the photos.“

“It’s all good and I would love to see more friends come here“

“So tasty. The match sesame swirl was out of this world. The coconut pineapple swirl was perfectly refreshing. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Well worth visiting. There was a large queue but they served very quickly so I only waited 5 mins.
They have a good selection of ice cream and I was impressed by the quality.
They also donate 10% to the local community which is amazing. They deserve supporting for that alone.“

“Just found out about this place from our Realtor friend David so happy to get these treasures our daughter has a gluten allergy and it was so excited to have so many options he is are absolutely delicious thank you for our wonderful treat today!“

“Hi team. I had posted the review and comment regarding my forgotten water bottle from 'Shagun Parmar'. You mentioned that you have the water bottle and I can pickup when I visit. Since I can't reply to that comment I'm posting a new one. I'm in Bellevue and planning to come to shop on Sunday. Request to please keep the bottle till then. I'd also submitted the details via lost and found on website. Thanks.“

“One of the best espresso pulls in Seattle. They also make some of the best gelato. I’m pretty sure they make it themselves.“

“2 years ago due to health I became a pescatarian and look for quality vegetarian, vegan options. Of the many things I miss at the top of the list was a good pepperoni pizza. I have tried all vegetarian, vegan versions. Last night my son and daughter-in-law brought me to MOTO. I ordered the vegan pepperoni pizza. The first bite made me literally want to cry. This was the best pepperoni pizza of ANY kind I have eaten in my considerably long life! Thank you Lee, Nancy, and the entire MOTO crew! I cannot possibly provide a high enough recommendation, this is the alpha and omega of pizza!“

“Got a yogurt bowl and it’s BIG! Such a nice and filling treat! The yogurt is refreshing and the toppings were fresh!

You order at the kiosk and the food comes out almost instantly!

You can customize the sweetness on drinks but not for the bowls.“

“Came to visit town and it was so yummy! Got the ube ice cream and the ube cream puff. 10/10. Service was so kind and helpful!“

“My MOST favorite ice cream shop in SOUTH SEATTLE ! I’ve been coming to this spot since 2004 when I moved here from LA. I love playing the quarter arcade machines . I love trying all the different fresh ice cream flavors . They rotate out daily on the fruit that’s available year round! The have an amazing outdoor sitting area right next to Flying Lion 🦁 Brewery! So just saying leave the kids at Full Tilt and you go enjoy the amazing beer 🍺 next door!“

“6 times a truth full 😘😗“

“One of my favorite places get Sundays! I’ve had the Pike place location and now decided to try the West Seattle location since I was in the area, I love the marshmallows, especially on the Sunday however, the chocolate and ice cream itself was the average tasting, very friendly service, though, I highly recommend and would come back“

“I see folks complaining about pricing… but this is the best thing to happen to West Seattle in years. Thank god for Molly Moons! They have compostable utensils/napkins, Lactaids available (thank you!) and the ice cream flavors and toppings are phenomenal! My second time going into this new location tonight and I’m beyond pleased. Cupcake Royale was great for a long time, but Molly is most welcome to the neighborhood! 💕 Every cashier has been friendly (friendlier even than other locations) and super confident 🌟“

“We've been bringing our 4 Grandkids
here for almost 3 years and I can't express enough positive about them. Excellent and friendly customer service and delicious ice cream. They have great patience with the little ones and I really appreciate it! ❤“

“Seattle Sorbets is hands-on my fave sorbet! It's DELICIOUS and I love knowing I'm supporting a locally owned business! Every flavor, from champagne orange to raspberry merlot, is delectable. The perfect treat on hot and cold days alike.“

“I was there to meet someone and had the best coffee I have had in a long while! Definitely come back again when I am in the area!“

“Came for the too good to go. I got pastries, I was hoping for sandwiches. They were good, shared with the family. The ice cream is made in store and it's really fresh and tasty. I got mango in sweet cream. They also had coconut cream base. I will try that next time the lady making the ice cream is really sweet.“

“Sitting in my car shaking and crying, barely able to compose myself to drive right now. Those who frequent Auntie Irene's beware of the owner. She just yelled at me infront of the whole shop, about parking out front. It sent me into a anxiety riddened, ptsd fueled state. There were zero parking stalls when l pulled into the coffee shop. l was grabbing my one coffee and leaving. l would be there for 5 minutes maybe 10 at most. I parked snuggled up along the the flower bed north of the shop, in front of the rhodedendron/north of the deck. On the other side of the flower bed is parking stalls. Just to exactly detail where l was parked. Completely out of anyone's way. There is no posted sign saying "no parking here", nor is it a painted fire lane. If that were the case, of course l wouldn't park there. That's obvious. I was not blocking her drive thru window line or blocking either entrance to her shop. I wasn't in the way of people needing to back out ,since they have to turn the other way to exit. After placing my coffee order, an waiting about 5 minutes at a table, she came out of no where and reprimanded me like a child....She could have politely introduced herself and asked me to move. She never even told me who she was. For all l knew, she was a crazed lady bossing me around. No "hi", "hello" or "how are you?". She just marched up to me without identifying shes the owner and started in on me. I would have had zero problem being asked to move, if she had gone about it in a decent manner, that most "adults" are capable of. Her tone was egregious and severely uncalled for. Over the years, l have heard rumors about an aggressive, petite, blonde haired, older lady named Susie as the owner. That was the only reason l deduced this must be the owner, becuase like l stated she did not tell me who she was at all. But, l had only ever seen her maybe 3 times, in all the years I've been going there. I have never spoken to her or even had an one on one encounter with her. So, for her to treat me, complete stranger, who is paying for a comfortable place to enjoy coffee like this, this is wildly uncalled for. I'm a full grown adult mind you, though lve been told, l look young for my age. Even if l was young, it still would not make this encounter okay at all. l was so taken a back, l couldn't even mutter a reply to her. l ran out of the shop and immediately reparked my car. There were stalls open at this point. l had to smoke a cigarette to calm down before l went back in, it rattled me so badly. l was barely able to muster up the courage to go back in for my coffee, without feeling like l was going to start breaking out into tears, if l saw her or had to encounter her again to get my coffee. I came back in, and by then she was no where to be seen... She wasn't there to thank me for moving and understanding her concern. Nothing, she just disappeared. She ambush disciplined me and disappeared, which made it even weirder and more upsetting...Anyways, when l came back in the staff asked me where l went? l didn't want to tell them what happened, so l pretended like l didn't hear their question and barely got out a stiffled, whimper of a "thank you" to them. Rushing out of the shop before they had a chance to see me upset.. I didn't want them to think they were the reason l was in this clearly emotional state. They didn't do anything wrong, so l wasn't about to complain to them about their own boss.There would be nothing they could do about her actions, if she's in charge, ya know? When l got back to my car, l broke down in tears, past PTSD trauma flooding in. I've had experiences like this with some past elder women bosses, in my younger years. I've been subject to 3 very unprofessional older female boss's. Who, in over the years had treated me completely horribly and were very verbally abusive. One even grabbed my arm so hard she left bruising. All of them traumatizing me, using their p“

“I only had a coconut base in one small cup and sweet cream base mixed with mango, so can't comment on the other stuff. What I really like is the small was for my pittie and its dairy free plus not really sweet, so I didn't feel the pang of guilt I get when I give her ice cream. I really liked mine because I'm not into really sweet, that seems at times overbearing, but sweat cream I really like. Mixed with mango (fruit) and juice it was really the perfect mix of fruit and sweetness. In the top view you can see the imperfect blend, but gives you an idea of the mix, this made no difference in the dessert. Of course the side view I've already dug into. 😁“

“Tried to come in the past, but made the mistake of not checking the hours. Would be nice if they were posted somewhere at the shop. Got to try the frozen yogurt at last and was wonderful! Though, get the small size. Medium is easily enough for 2. Seattle area is surprisingly a desert for this dessert and it’s nice to have Shy Giant still here through the years.“

“I just finished the vanilla bean scones from the pastry kit subscription. That was the best scone I have ever had. Delicious and beautiful! Thank you 😄😄😄“

“Recently stopped by since my gf will be opening her esthetics salon across the street and I’ve always seen this place for the past couple years growing up in the area, super happy and excited for this business to exist and the owner now has a market attached to it 🔥 go support this local business the only of its kind in the area, typically only 1 or 2 workers so try to be nice if you stop by on a hot day and they have other customers they’re attending. My gf got the esquite and she loved it she said, I got the mangoneada and it was 👌🏽 sorbet base fyi I enjoyed it“

“Quick service. Nice friendly atmosphere and friendly customer service. My son in law ordered one of their ice drinks, my daughter a Red Bull. Great seating spacious area. They serve Asian inspired drinks, we did not try. We were short on time passing through. Will defensively stop in again!“

“Molly moon’s is my favorite place to get ice cream, all there flavors. I wish they bring my favorite ice cream it strawberries 🍓 balsamic so delicious 🤤.“

“The best cheeseburgers fries, and tarter sauce.“

“the most delicious flavor ever. get a chance to try out culture ice 🍨“

“⚡⚡ I had an amazing experience at the newly renovated shop! The decor is modern and spacious, and the entire staff has changed – they're all incredibly friendly and helpful. 😊

The rolled ice cream and dragon breath were both absolutely fantastic! The rolled ice cream is fresh, creamy, and delicious, and the dragon breath is still such a fun and unique experience.

With all these updates, this shop has definitely become one of my favorite stops in the mall. Highly recommend it for both the amazing treats and excellent service!“

“Awesome Ice cream trucks they even take cards and have scoops of ice cream with cones!“
