14 Best Ice Cream Shops near Issaquah

“They care about our community and have excellent support for small business“

“Very overpriced, but also great staff and product. Support these guys instead of getting Hagan Diaz from Safeway across the street! Manager told me prices will come down now that inflation has come down. Love the Milskyshakes!“

“Came in for a late night treat on 11/18 around 7-7:30pm. The gentleman working greeted me right away, let me take a minute to look around, and even suggested some flavors and offered me some samples! I really appreciated that! Although, I went with my usual brownie sundae.

I have a severe allergy to one of the flavors that was next to the ice cream I picked out, but he took his time and care to clean and sanitize the scoop, before making my sundae. Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness! I didn't get his name, but kudos to you, my dude! 😎

Will definitely come back again. 🩷💙🍨“

“Great drinks, good service, fun place!“

“Ah, Cold Stone Creamery! I don’t know what kind of wizardry they’re doing back there, but Cold Stone ice cream is so creamy. Like, suspiciously creamy. I don’t know how they do it. I assume there’s a guy in the back with a PhD in dairy science just whispering affirmations to the cream. Whatever it is, they’ve earned the “Creamery” in their name. That’s not just branding. That’s a diploma.

Now, the mix-ins get all the press. People love the mix-ins. But I’m here for the base. The foundation. The creamy core. It’s like building a house on a cloud.

This Issaquah location? It’s run entirely by Skyline High School students. I don’t think any of them need to work. They’re just doing it for the love of the game. Like, “Hey, I could be at home playing Fortnite, but I’d rather be here, folding gummy bears into mint chip for a guy who looks like he just woke up from a nap in 1997.” That’s me. I’m that guy.

It’s a teen hangout, but they serve old people like me too. We walked in at 9:50 on a Friday night, ten minutes before closing, and they didn’t even flinch. Just smiled, scooped, and let us loiter like we were paying rent. That’s hospitality. That’s Cold Stone.

There’s a fine line between laziness and genius, and these teens are skating it like pros. Instead of lugging heavy trash bags to the dumpster, one of them just casually rolled over to Fred Meyer, commandeered a shopping cart, and turned it into a mobile waste unit. Is it creative? Absolutely. Is it lazy? Maybe. But it’s also efficient, ergonomic, and kind of brilliant. That’s teenage ingenuity: solving problems with the least amount of effort and the maximum amount of swagger.

I always order something off the menu and then change it so much it becomes a new invention. Like, “I’ll have the Chocolate Devotion, but can you take out the brownies, add marshmallows, swap half the chocolate ice cream for mint, and also make it taste like regret and childhood?” And they just nod. No judgment. No questions. Just vibes.

My wife noticed I had more ice cream than she did, even though we ordered the same size. The server, Ayush, overheard and immediately offered to top hers off. That’s five-star service. That’s Cold Stone diplomacy.

They’ve got the classics like chocolate, vanilla, and mint, but then they hit you with flavors like “Honey Cornbread with Blackberry Jam.” It tasted like a scone that got tenure. And churro flavor? Sure. Why not. It’s November, so of course there’s pumpkin spice. It’s the law.

Anyway, five stars. I’ll be back. Probably tonight. Probably at 9:50.“

“Organic diced tomatoes - false claim. Additive: calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is not considered an organic compound. Organic compounds are generally defined as chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. Calcium chloride, being an ionic compound composed of calcium and chloride ions, does not contain any carbon-hydrogen bonds and is therefore classified as an inorganic compound.“

“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 🤤.“

“I stopped by Frosty Barrel this morning. Shawn and the crew were amazing! I tried most of the ice creams. The pumpkin and mint cookies in cream were amazing. Dairy Free.“

“this place is a weekly staple for our family, from the waffle wednesdays, bogo fridays or fill your cup weekends. We are here (in my opinion) far too often but it's a fun midweek treat for the family. We've maybe had one instance where one of the machines didn't work other than that, consistent working machines, friendly service and good froyo - nothing to complain about!“

“I have been going to this location ever since I was old enough to ride a bicycle. Me and my best friend growing up lived in bridal trails neighborhood and during the summer we would ride our bikes down to get ice cream. It would take 10 minutes to ride there by bicycle and around 20 minutes to walk. The part that sucked was going back up the giant hill afterwards, but honestly it was totally worth it! Lots of fun and great memories at Baskin Robins 31 flavors. My favorite flavor as a child was rocky road ice cream. Now that I'm older I have to say my favorite flavor is the very berry strawberry. Today I took my fiancee to this location for the first time. I told her about my childhood memories and how this is probably one of the oldest Baskin Robins 31 flavors locations in Bellevue. There use to be one up in Easgate but that one closed down and is now a teriyaki restaurant. We ordered the banana royal. It comes with your choice of 3 scoops, a sliced banana, whip cream, chopped nuts and your choice of 3 toppings. The topping choices were hot fudge, caramel, strawberry and pineapple. We decided to go with the chocolate mousse, very berry strawberry and love potion as our 3 choices of ice cream. For toppings we did hot fudge and 2 x strawberry. It was delicious 😋“

“Great spot for ice cream and snacks super clean as well plus they have tamarind ice cream so good! Hands down the best! I’m from Los Angeles and I’ve not had an experience like this in over 20 years so other than Los Angeles this is the best“

“Amazing service! There was such a long time and only one employee. There gentleman working was super fast but also had conversations with everyone so no one felt rushed. He deserves to be employee of the year with how he managed to be the only employee serving so many people and still managed to smile and make every customer smile!“

“We loved ordering our birthday cake from here! The decorator was super responsive and made the cake exactly how we wanted it. Everyone in the store was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The cotton candy flavor was amazing — all our guests loved it. Definitely coming back for future celebrations!“

“They got my order wrong once but immediately corrected it! Being super apologetic and kind. It was very sweet and I appreciate the customer service. I also love getting myself a sweet treat once every 2 weeks. And crumble cookie has never let me down! :D“
