Shug's Soda Fountain and Ice Cream

Awesome homemade ice cream 🍦 spot!!! Got the brownie sunday and it was absolutely heavenly. Good to the very end. The brownie and fudge are freshly made and it shows. Worth every penny. You need to try this place.

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!

Good Ice Cream, but probably need more people working there as the wait was pretty long and maybe skip out on there cherry soda if you’re thinking about it, I didn’t enjoy it as it tasted kinda like medicine

Not your average ice cream shop!

I was showing someone around Seattle and thought this would be a fun stop. waited 20 minutes for the staff to interact with us while we sat at the counter. we were ignored and left. really weird experience.

It was a random walk-in to Shug’s to pick up icecream and we were so glad we did! We got the Guava Sorbet and Coffee ice cream and enjoyed both!

“Shug's offers classic ice cream treats with a modern twist, including sundaes, house-made sodas, floats, and ice cream cocktails.

You can choose to sit at the counter, a private table, or outside on their patio. They also have a sidewalk walk-up window for to-go orders.”

Incredible Banana Burlee sundae and awesome to have old school soda fountain experience.

They have amazing floats! Best vanilla ice cream I have ever had

Great little ice cream spot next to Pikes. I recommend the Prosecco float with Guava sorbet. It's so delicious.

Delicious ice cream, lots of flavors. Friendly staff.

Cool vibe. Cute ice dishes. Not as friendly when you enter. Border on stuck up... maybe cuz we had kids.

My husband and I hired Shug's to cater dessert at our wedding in August 2024 and it was definitely a highlight of our night!
Our experience started with a tasting of every single flavor they offer at their Seattle shop! It was a wonderful experience paired with a glass of prosecco! We got to choose 6 flavors to offer our guests!
The overall booking process was super easy and email communication was easy.
The night of the wedding, Paul (co-owner), arrived to serve for us in their super cute and aesthetic ice cream cart! He is so sweet and kind.
Our guests got to pick from cups or cones and various flavors. We also had a little toppings bar set up.
Thank you so much Shug's for making our wedding a memorable one! You'll always have a special place in our hearts and we recommend you to everyone!!!

We ordered a pistachio Ice cream cone and the banana sundae.

Pistachio ice cream was good but the flavor was kind of muted, it didn't taste much of the pistachio besides the pistachio nuts that were in there. Still good just not the flavor I was hoping for.

The banana sundae was actually really good. Vanilla ice cream is nice with a good flavor, the candied pecans are really crunchy and really help elevate the flavors and add some texture. I would recommend this if you come here.

The only complaint is that the service was pretty slow. It took like 7 mins to order with only like 10 people in the store, only one person behind the counter.
