No sampling. You can get two flavors (half scoops) even if you get the smallest size.Seating: A bench inside with no table. There are blue picnic tables outside and across the street.

I went to the University of Washington Cherry Blossom Festival and there was a really long line so I tried it and it was really delicious!!The staff member was Korean, so I placed my order comfortably, and looking at the reviews, it seems that the person who took my order was the owner.All of my friends who went with me raved about how delicious it was, and I guess they baked the corn themselves, so it was really crispy and delicious!!Everyone, be sure to try the banana crunch!! I want to go again later. May the boss prosper ?

Oh my god. I was in and out so fast I had to second check my wallet to make sure I didn’t forget my credit card. I was amazingly surprised the Dark Side ice cream was the best ice cream I ever had. Would totally recommend.

I tried two of their vegan flavors: one was something with lavender and the other one was pumpkin. They were both really great. I also tried a small brownie which was also pretty tasty. Good ice cream shop in the neighborhood.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options

The ice cream was good, but I personally prefer a higher fat ratio. However, I would keep it as an option in case I crave ice cream in the future. The customer service was good, but I wish they let customers try the flavors before buying to make a more informed decision. Overall, it was a decent experience, and with a few improvements, it could be even better.

I haven't had ice cream this good in a very long time. I definitely recommend.
The ice cream is so good! Not too sweet and heavy?

Sweet Alchemy is an ice cream + coffeeshop located in the University District, near UW campus. It is a walk-up shop, as there is no indoor/outdoor seating.The shop is small, so I can imagine it gets very crowded in here at times. The penny tile floor (made with actual pennies) is pretty cool, as is their pink espresso machine.There is a small selection of fresh baked pastries, specialty coffee/tea drinks, a rotating selection of premium ice creams, and even some ice cream cakes for a special occasion.I had a black sesame latte and the ricotta cake - both were good!

One star taken because the door was blocked open and it was freezing outside. I'd give an extra star for all the really interesting ice cream flavors they offer, if I could.Dietary restrictions: They had the gluten free options labeled and I appreciate that.
