49 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!“

“Very cautious and safe during COVID. Very good ice cream and service“

“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!“

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

“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. 👏🍔“

“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!“

“I never really go out of my way to get ice cream when going out, but this time i decided to try this place and the ice cream was awesome my 2 friends who never tried this place also liked it, customer service was a bit dry and kinda like they didn't want to be there but the ice cream made up for it“

“I saw this on social media and the family wanted to try. The line was quite long like the other very popular stores at Pikes Market Place. It moves relatively quickly.

I was surprised, I thought it was going to be all presentation and lack luster on flavor. Indeed it exceeded my expectations. The food was extra creamy and dense. You can taste all the flavors. Our favorites were the Ube Coconut, Dutch Chocolate, Lemon Curd, and London Fog. This does not discredit the other flavors they are also very good. Note Blue Moon is a cotton candy flavor not a beer flavor 😂.“

“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 🤤.“

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

“my husband and i went here for a valentine's day dessert and we were so impressed! the flavors were fresh and delicious, and the service was fast (in part bc it was 40 degrees outside, I imagine it slows down in the summer). we both tried the london fog base, he did blackberry + lemon curd and i did blueberry + graham cracker. his was the superior pairing tbh, the lemon curd was SO good.

we are both big soft serve fans, and are so excited this place is in the neighborhood. yes, it's expensive, but it's also a novelty and they're making each one custom for you so...that's certainly an additional level of service vs. traditional ice cream. i look forward to trying different combos on future visits.“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Come here often on my way to the tram station from work. Good atmosphere around that time. Lots of options, I like to ask for a recommendation and have yet to be disappointed. Card only!!!!! Come prepared. Shout out to the guy who told me about the tournament nights (not sure if they’re still happening) when we were talking about yugioh. Looking forward to that if it ever happens again!

A general note -
For other people who like to go alone to places: there is wall facing seats tucked in the far side of the building, that’s where I like to sit to avoid the families with kids. I watch YouTube or play a game when I’m there.
For families: that same area is a quieter part of the building great for overstimulated little ones or breastfeeding if needed.

Cheers community!“

“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“

“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 tried the chocolate truffle here and absolutely loved it. The truffle was incredibly soft, rich, and full of flavor, every bite just melted in my mouth. It paired perfectly with the waffle cone, which was fresh, crispy, and had that perfect crunch that made the whole experience even better.

On top of that, this place is amazing for catching the sunset on the waterfront. The view is beautiful and makes the whole visit feel even more special. Definitely a great spot for both dessert and relaxing evening vibes!“

“Amazing gelato and an even better experience! The owner was incredibly kind and let the three of us taste every flavor while explaining how they’re made. The flavors taste so natural—you can really sense the real fruit in them. It was also heartwarming to see him teaching his daughter to scoop gelato. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Espresso Gelato plus friendly, fast service.“

“6 times a truth full 😘😗“

“My son’s both like ice cream cake for their birthday. BR is the top choice. We move to this area recently. Online shopping is convenience and we see new designs among lots choices. The staff is helpful. Deduct one point due to the address for pick up was mis-leading-leading me to hotel not the shop.“

“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!“

“Jonathan Stebbins is the best. He provided a fabulous sundae bar for our event. He was well organized and made the event so much fun. We will be recommending him to our friends and look forward to using his service again.“
