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!“

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

“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!

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 👌“

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

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

“Chill staff, family friendly vibes, and great cider options! Food truck hit the spot yesterday with Theo’s Gyros! Yum!Where Ya At Matt is also really tasty! We came here with our little one in stroller for the first time in months. It’s nice to see that there were lots of families with small children too. So if you’re wanting a night out, cancel that babysitter and bring your carbon copy(ies)/ fur child. If you do sit inside make sure you don’t sit near the speakers. It got a little loud for baby once the festivities of the evening started.Announcer could have opened up with an easy more softer opening. But hey, we loved the energy. Dog friendly and lots of space to drink, eat, and laugh with friends and family. We will have to come back again!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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 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! :)“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“I visited on Wednesday with my grandson and his friend. Roi was upbeat and customer focused. When I told her my grandson had a nut allergy, she took extra care, mixing his ice cream in a separate area in the back of the store to avoid contamination. Deeply appreciated! We will be back - and look forward to trying an ice cream cake in the near future!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We came from Yakima Washington and my kids and myself loved 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!“

“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.“

“Espresso Gelato plus friendly, fast service.“

“These kids work so hard and always with a great attitude. They mix the flavors over a frozen stone with different toppings like fruit, nuts, candy, etc. They also have the almond milk flavor, which is the only milk alternative flavor, but I'm happy I can go with the kids now. You can choose between 3 different cup sizes, waffle cones, or bowl.
There's also smoothies, shakes, and ice-cream birthday cakes (not by the slice, though). I wish the place was cleaner or more lighten but overall, it is great. I'm not sure they have bottled water, and restrooms are in the mall. Only 3 little tables, so plan accordingly if you want to bring a crowd. Download the app for better deals before you go.“

“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!“

“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.“
