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!“

“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!“

“Everything is solid here. Good team, good food, slightly higher priced and good location. My two big things are the receipt has my phone number plain as day on it. I like my privacy. Second is what the heck is up with those wood forks!? The absolute worst way to eat fries 🤣“

“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! ❤️“

“I had a great experience at Salt & Straw. One thing I really appreciated is that they let you sample flavors freely, which made the whole visit more fun and interactive.

I tried a few flavors:
• Honey & Lavender: a bit on the sweeter side, with a light, subtle lavender note.
• Sea Salt Caramel: a classic and very popular choice — slightly salty and well-balanced, definitely a safe pick.
• Coffee and Love Nuts: recommended by the staff, and it turned out to be my favorite. Very rich, nutty, and satisfying.

In the end, I went with the Rum Raisin Bundt Cake, which was amazing. The rum flavor really stands out in a unique way, and it balances perfectly with the sweetness.

Overall, great flavors, friendly staff, and a fun tasting experience. I’d definitely come back to try more!“

“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“

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

“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 😂.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“Best soft serve I’ve ever had. So creamy. We had two of the original milk soft serves, one with strawberries and one with the MBR and mitarashi dango. All four of us, two adults and two kids, loved it. There was a line but it moved efficiently and the woman serving customers was so very nice. We live in Renton and wanted to go here for a while. It was definitely worth the drive and we’ll happily make the trip back.“

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

“Hi team. I had posted the review and comment regarding my forgotten water bottle from 'Shagun Parmar'. You mentioned that you have the water bottle and I can pickup when I visit. Since I can't reply to that comment I'm posting a new one. I'm in Bellevue and planning to come to shop on Sunday. Request to please keep the bottle till then. I'd also submitted the details via lost and found on website. Thanks.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I have been going to this location ever since I was old enough to ride a bicycle. Me and my best friend growing up lived in bridal trails neighborhood and during the summer we would ride our bikes down to get ice cream. It would take 10 minutes to ride there by bicycle and around 20 minutes to walk. The part that sucked was going back up the giant hill afterwards, but honestly it was totally worth it! Lots of fun and great memories at Baskin Robins 31 flavors. My favorite flavor as a child was rocky road ice cream. Now that I'm older I have to say my favorite flavor is the very berry strawberry. Today I took my fiancee to this location for the first time. I told her about my childhood memories and how this is probably one of the oldest Baskin Robins 31 flavors locations in Bellevue. There use to be one up in Easgate but that one closed down and is now a teriyaki restaurant. We ordered the banana royal. It comes with your choice of 3 scoops, a sliced banana, whip cream, chopped nuts and your choice of 3 toppings. The topping choices were hot fudge, caramel, strawberry and pineapple. We decided to go with the chocolate mousse, very berry strawberry and love potion as our 3 choices of ice cream. For toppings we did hot fudge and 2 x strawberry. It was delicious 😋“

“I walked by here during our visit at Pike Place and decided to stop by! The owner served us this delicious froyo! It was before they officially open for the day too. She was super sweet and kind. We had lots of fun talking. Will definitely come back every time I visit Pike Place!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
