50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Kirkland

“Ice creams handmade are really good“

“Visited Shake Shack in Kirkland today and really enjoyed the overall experience. It’s in a great area that’s perfect for families. There’s even a small fountain nearby where kids were splashing around and having fun on this sunny afternoon. The interior of the restaurant was spotless, which made the meal feel that much more enjoyable. Parking was a bit confusing, especially for a first-time visitor using Apple Maps from the suburbs. I ended up parking on the street and walking a little. But honestly, the short stroll wasn’t a big deal. The food itself was fantastic, as expected. Everything from the ShackBurger to the crinkle-cut fries, and the chicken bites hit the spot. A great stop if you’re in the area and craving something satisfying.

“Huge fan of this place! Great ice cream and drinks, and super comfy shirts too 😁. Extremely friendly owner and staff, definitely would recommend checking them out and supporting a small local business!“

“Kids love the gelato. You get a lot for your money. They couldn’t even finish. Staff is always super friendly.“

“Always tasted great! Their vanilla is always my go to, but then they had dulce de lish and salted caramel brownie. Those two combined, divine! Service was amazing, she let us try both of those before deciding. Great location! Love love love Ben n Jerry's!“

“I love this place! Compared to other juice bars like Pressed, you can absolutely taste the difference. Love the menu & everything is always freshly made. I usually come by weekly for their 1-day cleanse or an açaí bowl.

Pro tip: if you’re in a hurry, try ordering ahead. Orders usually take about 5-10 minutes to make depending what you’re asking for. It’s worth the wait!“

“Lately find myself getting the craving for a sweet treat, but do not want to be bothered with getting out of my car and going into a shop. Midnight Cookie Co. has solved that problem with drive thru cookies. As funny as it sounds, I’ve been here a number of times recently to treat myself and my kids to a cookie. I always get a chocolate chip cookie, while my kids have tried other cookies. They’re good cookies, if a little pricey. I’d love to see other cookie adjacent treats, like maybe bars or pastries.“

“Such a great coffee shop with friendly staff who know what they're doing. It's beautiful inside, and the selection of ready-to-eat and even hot foods is quite good. My favorite is St. Petersburg tea!“

“Fresh tastey food, clean restrooms pleasant surroundings and polite employees �“

“You gotta be outta your mind if you haven’t tried their ice cream. Best in the PNW. Great flavors and it’s vegan as well! Yep I said the “V” word. I guarantee you won’t find any better ice cream then theirs. I’m hooked! ❤️“

“Can't resist the gelato here despite Seattle's weather. The london fog is to die for. The gelato look thick and amost gluey, is creamy yet not too rich, smooth and has very thick and dense mouthfeel. The lady who served us was so lovely, and she made beautiful swirl with the gelato.“

“Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!“

“I am visiting Seattle for a conference. We walked for 20mins to find actual ice cream. This business was awesome. From the moment we entered the store the young lady behind the counter(with pigtails) was amazing. I wish I would have gotten her name. She was super friendly and informative so 10stars for service. The ice cream was super delicious and smooth. I had the caramel ribbon it was AMAZING!“

“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 🤤.“

“so good!!! love that you have fun flavors in vegan and gf options!“

“5 Stars – A nostalgic treat!
This place is absolutely adorable with a fun retro vibe! We ordered the toasted marshmallow sundae and it was SO good — rich chocolate sauce, creamy vanilla ice cream, and perfectly torched marshmallows on top. Sweet, gooey, and indulgent in the best way!

Great spot to treat yourself after exploring Pike Place. Will definitely come back to try their floats next time!“

“I tried the Vanilla flavor with mochi at Indigo Cow and really enjoyed it (super smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness). The mochi added a nice chewy texture that worked well with the soft serve. My friend had the Matcha flavor, and it was impressively rich. Definitely for matcha lovers. Both flavors felt high-quality and well-balanced.“

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

“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 👌“

“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 🤤.“

“We had some time to waste before a game we were attending at UW. We came upon this place and after looking at the menu decided to go in and check it out. They have such unique but delicious flavors of ice cream. We ended up coming back after the game and dinner to get some more for dessert. Will definitely be back again.“

“Great service and simple but amazing chicken sandwiches. The unique combinations of flavors in each option will make you want to try them all. If you just want a snack, the seasoned curly fries are a must. Then top it off with their delicious soft serve ice cream.“

“Best ice cream (gelato). Better than Italian in Italy. Thank you for Bringing back mango habanero sorbet. WOW! Your new chocolate milkshakes are making us very, very happy! Best pistachio, hazelnut… You name it their’s is the best. These nut gelatos are not made out of flavored surgery syrups. They are made out of puréed nuts. No ice cream in Seattle can compare.“

“Loved the variety of flavors in their ice creams.“

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

“Delicious vegan Blueberry Lavender icecream, the best vegan icecream I've ever had. The UW Honey was wonderful too!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places in Seattle! Great beer selection, tons of non alcoholic options, rotating food trucks, lots of seating, dog and kid friendly. There is also a big snack selection, heaters in the outside area (under the awning, not the lot with the food trucks). Trivia on Wednesdays can be very full, so if you go to that then I recommend getting there early. You can bring your own food if you aren’t feeling the food truck as well, but corkage applies if you bring your own booze.“

“I was visiting from New York for the week and stopped in here all but one night (only because we were out too late). Everyday the staff were all so friendly despite the long lines and sometimes ruder clientele that may have walked in. The ice cream was genuinely the best I’ve ever had. They also were accommodating with me wanting to add some of the blueberry compote to Mollys Favorite Sundae ( 10/10 would recommend ). I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I got a hat but regret not grabbing more merchandise I’ve been talking about this as the highlight of my trip. If you’re in the area you have no reason not to stop in.

A pleasant note as well to learn that the employees are paid a fair wage. Can’t think of a single thing I didn’t enjoy about my time at this establishment. It will be a while before I’m here again but I hope for your continued success!“

“I recently visited Indigo Cow in Bellevue and tried their Hokkaido ice cream with the sweet potato crumble, and it was absolutely delightful! The Hokkaido ice cream had a rich, creamy texture and a subtle sweetness that felt indulgent without being overpowering. Pairing it with the sweet potato crumble added a warm, earthy sweetness and a lovely contrast in texture. The quality of ingredients really shines through in every bite. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their unique flavors!“

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

“Went during opening time and it was busier than i expected, however, the staff was very kind and they were very fast with our order. We got multiple drinks and even the Rice Roll. The drinks were delicious the roll was great and filling! The place was well decorated and it seemed to have very relax atmosphere. Overall my experience was very positive I highly recommend it :)“

“I was there today (sunday) it was busy, and even so they were super attentive when I asked for extra care with my daughter's ice cream, as she is allergic to milk and bananas, I really appreciated the service and the ice cream is great! :)“

“Friendly staff who will help you with choosing. I would come back over and over for the durian yogurt cubes. So good. Mango ones were good as well! A lot of Drinks can be made hot or cold. Great little sweet treat after eating at Malatang (build your own hot pot bowl)- both located in same bldg.“

“The owners are the nicest Chinese couple I’ve ever met! We were planning to get some fruit at a grocery store, but it was already too late. We went in this store around 9 pm, just to ask where the nearest open grocery was, and they kindly offered us some free fruit! We ended up buying a fancy yogurt bowl and left extra tip, but still, the amount of fruit they gave us far exceeded our expectations.

BTW, we tried the yogurt after getting back to the hotel, and it was sooo good! Totally refreshing! With a 4.7 rating and 250+ reviews, this place is a strong recommendation!

P.S. I know most people online are kind, but I’ve seen others take advantage of good hearted folks. What happened to us was unplanned, and we DID PAY EXTRA to show appreciation for their generosity. I sincerely hope no one will take advantage of their kindness by expecting free food or criticizing them for not offering more. I just wish that good people don’t have to suffer for being generous. Peace!“

“I got the last bit of Birthday cake! so yummy!“

“We’ve been going to Swirl for years. Love this family business and the great frozen yogurt. The owners are the sweetest people and have a very inviting shop. Wonderful place for kids to have birthday parties or just enjoy the ambience.“

“We came from Yakima Washington and my kids and myself loved it.“

“This location is always staffed with friendly folks! They also do huge scoops! It can get busy on weekend afternoons but mostly when we visit there’s a reasonable amount of customers and the wait is always minimal. Clean store, yummy ice cream!“

“Best sunset view by the water coupled with one of the most legendary ice creams in the city. Just loved the experience. The seasonal flavour of berry cheesecake took the cake, figuratively. The salted caramel was awesome as well. They offer the waffle cone free of cost and that is a delighter.“

“Great selection of vegan ice cream and frozen yogurt. Smoothie option also available using nut milks. Very tasty. The coffee flavored ice cream was not too overpowering with that flavor- just right. My favorite was the Oreo chocolate ice cream. Very smooth and great chocolate flavor with some Oreo crunch. Perfect for a warm day outside.“

“My first time going to cookie heaven and I am pretty sure they almost had to drag me out of there. These are truly the most amazing cookies and creations. And it was hard to choose between just two or three. I am going to have to make sure I go back on an empty stomach. The staff is amazing, you know exactly what you're getting, and they are just so beautifully done. Love this place!“

“Scooper of a time! Every bite was iceolated perfection, so cool it left me chilling for more. Their mix-ins are solid, carving out flavors that are simply mint to be. The staff really conequered my heart with service that was unfrostgettable. If you’re looking for a sundae funday, this is the place to melt your worries away!“

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

“Great ice cream for the best price around. This is a completely volunteer-based ice cream shop where the ice cream is sold at cost and the student workers work for tips and good times. The atmosphere is cool, with games to play in the lounge area and usually a movie or music videos playing on a projector on the wall. They have scoops, cones, milk shakes, and fresh baked cookies (and cookie-ice cream sandwiches). A great place for a casual date, a study break, or to meet new friends.“

“4 stars, more like 3.5 😂😂😂😂😂. Mother dear and I split the black sesame sundae. It's no Nanas, but there were some pockets of #gold in there. The ratio of soft serve to syrup throughout was all off. Whatever those crunchy things were, they were great! Also, how about a few more chairs our here??“

“Visited while on vacation. Haven't had blue moon ice cream since I lived in Michigan. Full Tilt's was delicious. They even packed up a pint for us to take back to our hotel so that it wouldn't melt on the drive back. Lots of flavors to choose from. And they will let you sample any flavor.“
