50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Kirkland

“Ice creams handmade are really good“

“Shake Shack Kirkland is the upscale burger fix we needed on the Eastside. The ShackBurgers are juicy and tasty, and the sweet potato bun adds that extra hint of fun. Fries are good, I'd say definitely order them with cheese. Shakes and lemonades did not disappoint.

Ordering via kiosk or phone is a breeze.

It’s pricier than your corner burger spot, but the quality, setup, and vibe make it worth it. Ideal for a casual, satisfying treat when you want more than just a quick bite.“

“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!“

“This Ben and Jerry’s is super close to the water, and you can eat your ice cream along the pier.

They have all the flavors you’ve ever wanted to try at the ice cream shop!

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

“Employees are nice, smoothies are pretty good and healthy. Only issue is the wait time is pretty bad, and fairly often it's a long wait. If you're in hurry to grab a quick smooth or bowl, sadly this isn't the place, otherwise it's good.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Smooth, creamy, and totally plant-based — this ice cream really is for everyone. Everything in the shop is peanut, dairy, and gluten free, and the portions are just right. The gluten-free waffle cone was made fresh, perfectly caramelized, sweet, and crunchy. Pure plant magic.“

“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!“

“While it's REALLY crowded and often has a line out the door, I will say the wait is worth it. The flavors they offer here are definitely all over the place (I think I saw bleu cheese?) I got a really generous serving in a waffle bowl which was a bit too much for me, definitely start with a single scoop.“

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

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

“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 👌“

“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.“

“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… 😁“

“Solid chicken sandwiches! A little stringy on the chicken bite but was flavorful, crispy and a nice sized sandwich. Went with the Basic and Original. Would get Basic again + a side of general tso!
Curly fries are good - got the crunchy end pieces which are still good but got sad seeing all the other tables after us get nice basket of actual curly-curly fries! So that was a little bummer...
Star of the show were the Mozzarella sticks! Cheese pull! I would def come back for that alone! Must get mozz sticks + any of their other sauces!
Ice Cream was good - we got the vegan strawberry but will come back to try the chocolate malt and/or swirl!
Limited indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating.
Very close to transit - quick easy ride from downtown!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 was magical. Salted caramel on top and cookies & cream on the bottom while humming Luther by Kendrick Lamar. This girl is a happy camper, you can say that I am over the moon about Molly Moon. The restaurant has an old school charm on the outside and modern glam on the inside. Best of both worlds. You can't go wrong with a scoop or two at Molly Moon!“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Espresso Gelato plus friendly, fast service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just came in for the first time and visited the West Seattle location (west si-ide!) Adam SLAYED! Pizza was fire!!!! Ten stars! —Seri and Brad“

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

“This is easily the best soft serve I've ever had. The kuro goma had such a deep, roasted, nutty aroma that paired perfectly with the light and creamy vanilla soft serve. The lady serving us was super polite and friendly, too. I cannot wait to treat myself here again.“

“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 😄😄😄“
