About Frankie & Jo's Ballard

Frankie & Jo's Ballard offers unique flavors of dairy and gluten-free ice cream. Customers often praise the California Cabin with smoked pine and cardamom cookies, calling it the best ice cream in the world. Despite the high prices, many believe the ice cream is outrageously good. The Salty Caramel Ash and California Cabin are popular choices among visitors. The chocolate Tahini is rich and thick, while the creamy smoked vanilla remains a favorite, especially for those with celiac disease. This outstanding frozen dessert place is known for its inventive flavors and great service. Many appreciate that they lean into the non-dairy base instead of just trying to recreate conventional ice cream flavors. A must-visit for those seeking delicious and inclusive ice cream options.

This is now my favorite Frankie & Jo’s location. I loved the patio in the back. The current seasonal flavors are all amazing! Shared a flight with all three seasonal flavors with a friend!

Really good, great service (+1 for that), but $12 for a single scoop cone. Ouch
This place is phenomenal! Friendly staff, excellent service, and delicious icecream and waffle cones. We visited from Vancouver, BC and were very impressed. We will definitely be returning!
