50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Kirkland

“Ice creams handmade are really good“

“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!“

“Kaya at the Kirkland location was AWESOME!! From the moment we walked in, she was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the flavors. She made us feel welcome to ask for samples and served us with a vivacious, friendly attitude that represents the values behind the brand. You rock, Kaya.“

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

“Fantastic customer service! Took great care of us!!“

“The juice and protein snack I got were both exactly what I had hoped and wanted. There are prebottled juices and juice shots at the front of the shop. I usually find that I need to ring the bell on the front counter to have someone take my order. They are quite responsive to that bell.

My normal order is a green apple detox and a serving of their coconut protein snack (2 per container, and plenty for a good snack). I go here fairly regularly and the staff now remembers my order when I go in. It is lovely to know they remember me from one visit to another.

The fresh squeezed juice has always met or exceeded my expectations. The best deal on the menu is a serving of 2 protein waffles with several options for toppings. (PB&J, chocolate banana, avocado and bagel seasoning) For $4.99 they are worth the stop.“

“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!“

“I want to give a huge shoutout to Albert, even though he’s normally at another Shake Shack location. He went way above and beyond to help me out, and that level of service deserves recognition.

Albert was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making the experience great. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and that kind of attitude is rare these days. Even though he wasn’t required to step in, he did—without hesitation—and made a big difference.

Shake Shack Kirkland is lucky to have team members like Albert representing the brand. Outstanding service like this is why people keep coming back. 👏🍔“

“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! ❤️“

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

“Found this place for dessert after dinner at Din Tai Fung around the corner. Went for the Chocolate Tahini, and WOW was it good! Was half way back to my car, enjoying my vegan ice cream cone while walking, and literally turned around to go back and get a pint to bring home. Super good!“

“Got the Ube Coconut and Honey Macedonia...absolutely delicious! Service very friendly and fast. One of the people there was wearing a super cute shirt I commented on... bonus got info on cute embroidery apparel made by Moe Sews ❤️ Don't miss Hellenika Cultured Creamery in Seattle!“

“great ice cream place! little pricy at $7 a single scoop but yummy! they have lots of vegan options and lots of different flavors that are unique. Jay was very kind and let us try a bunch of flavors even though there was a lot of flavors. would recommend if you want thick unique ice cream, waffle cone was great too.“

“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 🤤.“

“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 👌“

“Unique ice cream joint where you choose the flavor and they take the extract of it and MAKE the ice cream itself for you on order..

VERY POPULAR place…. Always a line here… the people are SUPER nice and they have a fishbowl full of lactaid single tabs in case you’re lactose intolerant… 😁“

“i’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and i’m so glad i finally did. there was a small line, but it’s worth it to try this super creamy soft serve. the waffle cone was delicious and i loved the chocolate hard shell. will be coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🤤.“

“Molly Moon’s is truly a Seattle classic, and it never disappoints. I’ve honestly never had a bad flavor here. Every scoop tastes thoughtful, creamy, and well-balanced. I love that they offer both rotating seasonal flavors and “always” flavors that are available year-round, so there’s always something new to try while still being able to return to favorites.

My absolute favorites are honey lavender, iced latte, and strawberry. If only the Earl Grey flavor were available year-round, I’d probably be visiting every single day.

They also sell pints, which is dangerous in the best way. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Molly Moon’s is the kind of place I’ll always support as long as they’re in business.“

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

“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 🤤.“

“Delicious and reasonably priced! Best of ago, the kids loved it too! The curly fries were some of the best I've had in a while, my only regret is not seeing their limited time special before I ordered because it sounded super delicious.“

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

“Chuck’s has such a good selection of beer, friendly and helpful staff, and all around fun, family-friendly vibes. Have celebrated birthdays here and held a lot of game nights. I freaking LOVE the beet Reuben. It’s honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had as a vegetarian and my carnivore friends like it too!!“

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

“Full Tilt is a fun and unique ice cream spot in the Columbia City area that is perfect for families or a casual hangout with friends. They offer a wide variety of delicious flavors, and the place is filled with arcade games that kids (and adults!) will love. There's also a shaded patio out front with plenty of seating for warmer days.

The owner was super friendly and helpful when I asked for a flavor recommendation, which made the experience even better. If you're in the area, this place is a must-stop for a sweet treat and a bit of nostalgic fun!“

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

“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.“

“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 🤤.“

“Great Baskin-Robbins location. We have gone several times and it does not disappoint. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors, and they even added mangonadas. Staff is always friendly, welcoming and helpful. There is plenty of parking near the store, but it is also shared with other local stores.“

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

“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 🤤.“

“There were 3 hard packed ice cream options on this trip, including ube and a banana walnut marshmallow (!) The vegan flavors do use a coconut base, so if you aren’t a fan of coconut milk-based ice creams, this might not be your jam. I thought it went great with the ube tho!“

“I visited a month ago, and I still dream about their ice cream!

I loved their seasonal blackberry cobbler ice cream - as well as their honey lavender one!

I recommend getting the double scoop - is a great deal and they give you nicely sized portions!“

“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.“

“Today, I happened to pass by this yogurt shop, stopped and walked in. I ordered a cup of strawberry and a cup of mango. It really tasted like a fairy. I was surprised by this. There is still such a delicious yogurt in bellevue. I will come again in the future!“

“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.“

“Espresso Gelato plus friendly, fast service.“

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

“I recently tried their new Orange Bitters Thai Tea - SO GOOD. It reminds me of a high quality mocktail that’s super delicious and refreshing.

I have also previously tried their regular Thai Tea and Thai Green Tea. Both are really good but I love how unique the Thai Green Tea tastes!

Love their drinks and will definitely return and bring friends.“

“6 times a truth full 😘😗“

“I don’t get the bad reviews.... This place is amazing. From the ice cream to the food. Of course it’s a bit pricey. It’s a small privately owned business. It’s not a chain. The owners are incredibly nice people. I’ve been going here for more than 20 years and I can’t say enough good things. It’s not their fault parking is limited. It’s Madison Park... They have continued to offer the best ice cream, food, and service even during unprecedented times. I bring my kids here, and have been going since I was a kid. Not many places left where you can share childhood memories with your children.“

“I recently visited this Japanese café and it ended up being such a pleasant surprise. The
matcha floats were incredible. The matcha itself was rich and smooth, and the vanilla soft serve was super creamy. They serve it in their special Valimaki style, where you can add things like hojicha or extra matcha on top, which makes it even better.

The Japanese fruit sandwiches were another favourite. The bread was soft, the fruit was fresh, and the whole thing looked almost too pretty to eat. Honestly, every item that came out was so photogenic. If you love matcha, Japanese treats or just really Instagrammable food, this café is definitely worth a visit.

P.S. the handwritten ‘arigato gozaimasu’ on each paper bag is a really thoughtful and amazing attention to detail!“

“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 😄😄😄“
