Just ok- the ice cream doesn’t taste very rich and is quite icy in texture. Molly Moon’s and Salt and Straw are better and taste more premium

Didn't even get to buy any ice cream! What kind of ice cream shop only allows one sample??I sampled the banana Nutella and It tastes artificial. The clerk said I can't try anything else so I left. What a stupid policy.

They allow 1 sample per person, which is weird because they have unusual flavors. I won’t be coming back…

I’m new to the neighborhood and have been checking out all of the different ice cream parlors and this one is definitely my new go to. It can be tricky to spot at first but once you see the large “Shop The Alley” sign you just will follow that. Not only is their ice cream great but the baked goods are great as well. Can’t wait to go back later.

Honestly I’d love to love this place because it’s a nice little local shop, but the reality is this place just isn’t that good. The ice cream is ok. The portions are tiny for the price. They ration samples (why?). Salt and Straw, despite being a bigger “chain” is much better.

Used to come here all the time. It was great. But the last time was horrible. Terrible flavor and texture. Go to Salt and Straw.
They don’t offer samples which feels ridiculous because they have a lot of super weird flavors, so it’s hard to guess which might be amazing and which might be repulsive. In the end I decided the price wasn’t worth risking something that would immediately end up in the trash after one bite. It’s unfortunate because they have some interesting flavor combinations, but without being able to sample anything, I won’t be coming back.

Great service, amazing ice cream and sweet treats. Bryce is awesome in his service and super helpful with his knowledge on ingredients and products.
Got the dark side ice cream and monster cookie and both are delish.

4.3/5 we had the cookies and cream pint for $13. The ice cream was pretty good and tasted like they used fresh ingredients, however, it wasn't the best that I've had in Seattle and it was quite expensive. Overall, wouldn't recommend as I've had better ice cream in Seattle.

Genuinely the BEST ice cream I've had in Seattle! The worker (who I think was the owner) was also so nice and told me a few things nearby to check out because I hadn't been there before.
10/10 will be returning.

Surprisingly mediocre. Very limited flavor selection (half of which had caffeine). You’re not allowed to sample. More importantly the ice cream wasn’t good. It was icy, not creamy, and lacked much flavor. The portion is also small and extremely expensive. I don’t plan to return
