Snoqualmie Ice Cream

I can’t wait until they open again this year — this is my absolute favorite place to go for ice cream! I always have to sample the new flavors, even if I end up going with my old favorites, because they come up with such creative new ones!
I love that they also focus on sustainability and have an education program associated with their efforts.

Oh my, oh my. I’ve been wanting to stop at this place for years! It is a little out of the way from Seattle so I’ve just hadn’t made my way up to Snohomish. I regret not making the trip out here sooner because it was such an enjoyable experience. Getting here in itself was a lot of fun because we took the local country route where you get to see these cute little homes with amazing backyards filled with flowers/​greenery.
The ice creamery is a bit smaller than what I imagined. I wished that this flagship store had more opportunities where you can sample more of their selection. When you get there, it is like a normal ice cream shop. You can ask to taste more than one flavors, like what my husband did but I got the sense that you shouldn’t exceed asking to taste more than 2 samples. The people working there were pretty nice though and didn’t give him a hard time.
The ice creams offered here are absolutely delicious! I suggest getting the honey cinnamon and pomegranate sorbet. We ordered so many flavors: green tea, mango ice cream, raspberry cheesecake, and chocolate. The prices weren’t too bad. For 3 scoops, it was $ 5+.

Favorite ice cream spot yet! I’m in love with how many flavors are available, including their 21+! They’ve got a few vegan options as well. Such a cute place and the staff is fantastic. They definitely take care of their customers.

Snoqualmie Ice Cream is what the Grey’s Anatomy docs in Seattle would order. From the Emerald City comes this plethora of magical flavors. The Mulkiteo Mud is a delicious chocolate flavor, but their standouts are flavors you don’t find everywhere else– lavender, honey cinnamon, ginger, and almond poppy seed (which is indeed poppy) Lavender has a distinct floral flavor. Ginger&honey cinnamon have pizzazz with them. Almond poppy seed tastes like marzipan. A sweet taste of the Pacific Northwest!

What a cute surprise. The staff was so warm and friendly. They gave us suggestions and what they prefer too. The place is very clean and inviting. Bathrooms are nice and modern. You could sit by the fireplace, at the large dining room table or even outside. They have a viewing room so you could watch them work the magic. They have games too for when you’re done you can continue having fun. The property is well landscaped with walking paths and markers identifying plants and flowers.
Oh and the ice cream is good too.

This is the ice cream of the mind, the platonic ideal of ice cream. All other ice cream is kind of ruined for me now, as it can simply never match Snoqualmie.
Mukilteo Mudd has some serious Callebaut chocolate in there. All other chocolate ice cream now tastes like Fudgesicles. I am ruined.
Lemon Perfection is not sorbet, but lemon curd ice cream. So smooth and lemony — think lemon bars and whipped cream.
French Lavender will fill your brain with BLUE on the first bite — tingles in the back corners of the mouth and crazy synesthesia!
Pumpkin — this is REAL pumpkin, not that schlocky pumpkin spice crap that ends up absolutely EVERYWHERE starting in October.
In the summer, there is soft serve. Ahhhh.
I just wish they were open later, especially in the long summer evenings.
This is a great place to bring little kids and walk them around the demonstration organic garden out back. Very educational. Say «HI» to the chickens!

I have loved their Ice Cream for a long time but after the listeria outbreak, I will never buy it again. Not so much because of the listeria, but because they failed 2 out of 4 inspections in 2014. They were in a downward spiral of food safety that ended up poisoning customers. I won’t trust them again. This was a situation that probably could have been prevented but for whatever reason, the owner chose not to correct the two failing grades he got in the last two quarters of the year. If cleanliness and food safety isn’t always a 100% priority, then you’ve lost my business for good.

Ice cream is very good but the best part is the menu. Their boozy shakes, floats and sundaes are wonderful blends. We loved our espresso chocolate stout shake and mint chip shake.
They are also working to increase their farm to continue increasing the amount of ingredients that they use from their own land. What a great find!

We’ve eaten countless rich pints — big favorite is Mukilteo Mudd (=MM).
Finally on 5÷31÷14 kiddo and I finally visited Snoqualmie Ice Cream (usually when we’re out here, it’s heading to Maltby Café). Their Scoop Shoppe was hopping — busy with people in line and tables/​counters full. There was only two people behind the counter and they were slammed. By the time we were done, it was even more crowded since there were two different entrance/​exits.
Suggestions during the insane late spring to summer months: Hire more counter– food prep staff. Just looking at the crowds made me feel stressed, I could only imagine how those two frazzled individuals felt having to cover the register, do food prep, scoop ice cream, make shakes, etc. Also, add a service number system. Seems like the DMV, but it would help with the crowd insanity since there was no obvious orderly line. Just reading through the various Unilocal posts after our ⁵⁄₃₁ visit seems to back this up.
Anyways, we ordered a MM milkshake and a MM w/​peanut butter milkshake. I don’t know what I was thinking since usually it’s only four to six teaspoonfuls of MM will do me in and milkshakes ($ 8 each) are made with three full scoops.
Add to the gluttony was an order of cheese flatbread and sausage/​mushroom flatbread ($ 8 each) which each came with mixed green salad and house vinaigrette.
It was a major splurge dining there, but next time I’ll save on the gas, stock up on some pints from the freezer section of any local grocery store, and savor the few teaspoonfuls at a time. Rich, quality ice creams and custards where a little goes a long way.

Attended the Snoqualmie Ice Cream event held at their venue. The vendors were all welcoming, friendly and outgoing. I visited inside and the story was different. The ladies working seemed annoyed, stressed and unwelcoming. One lady snapped at a guest asking about the iced coffee telling her to go outside to get her question answered (The coffee booth was from the café inside, so there business). When you host a major event at your store, have staff who is going to create a good impression of your venue. Have staff that will want to make people come back, not want to have a bad impression of your business. The venue could have done such a better job promoting their business and failed. They could have had the creamery in operation so people could see and really promoted the garden and other areas of the property. Instead, they gave the impression that the event was an inconvenience and annoyance to be held there.
The mens bathroom also had a large hole in the wall where a previous guest slammed the door into the wall, crushing the drywall. Who knows how long that has been there, but again, fix it and showcase your location.
The location also has a major bee problem that they need to figure out a solution for. Again, the review is based on the service received INSIDE the creamery, not from the staff working outside.
Based on this visit, I will not even purchase Snoqualmie Ice Cream at the store anymore.

We stopped by Snoqualmie Ice Cream for their 4^th Annual Ice Cream-​rama after seeing the event advertised on Unilocal Events list. We went there right before the event start as they were finishing the set up, so we took our time to browse their 1.5 acre farm, which included the chicken area (where they get all their eggs), grow their tomatoes, strawberries and, honestly, other plants that we probably didn’t recognize what they were. For this event, they also got 2 super cute donkeys from a nearby farm for event’s attendees to see and/​or pet as well.
The admission to the event was free (entertainment, instagram pictures and some free browsing for some freebies from Unilocal –Marc C. was there! and zipcar). If you wanted some food, you could buy tickets at very affordable prices — $ 1 for mini ice cream sandwiches, top pot doughnuts, trail mixes, exotic fresh fruits, café vita coffee, DRY soda and $ 2 for a Lunchbox Laboratory’s Slider of the God. The sliders were so awesome. It wasn’t too small and was quite tasty (with thick beef pattie slices, blue cheese, mayo, balsamic onion reduction) and was the winner for today. We also tried all 3 flavors of the ice cream sandwiches there (lavender with lemon cookies, cinnamon snicker doodle, chocolate icecream with peanut butter cookies). My friend and I thought the flavor combination of the snicker doodle and the peanut butter ones both were really good. The lavender and lemon cookies were ok, too. but we just thought the combination/​flavor didn’t pop as well as the other ones. DRY soda was pretty good and we managed to get some other small freebies here and there, too!
Overall, this is a very good family event. The prices were very affordable. We only spent $ 10 total and enjoyed the event quite a bit. Didn’t take as long to see through their event but just trying things out here and there (most of the stores who were there were probably some of Snoqualmie Ice Cream’s good partners). If you have kids, I think they would enjoy the event for sure.
P.S: if you intend to go next year, go a bit early. We got there around 10:45am (the event started at 11), and by 11:30 there were lots of people lining up for ticket purchases and sliders! Would also save you some hassle of finding good parking spots nearby, too!

This cute ice cream place has a lot of potential. I tried several flavors, all very good. The Tennessee whiskey was my favorite along with the seafarers and amaretto cherry. I would have tried more, but was feeling rushed by the employee.
The one scoop portion was very large and even though I wanted to have two flavors, I could only have one without getting two scoops. With having such unique flavors it would have been better to be able to get at least two flavors.
All in all good ice cream, but I’ve had better.

AMAZING ICE CREAM! They obviously know how to make the stuff because it was incredibly busy. I had the Honey Lavender which was to die for!
One benefit from using the Unilocal app to check in was a coupon for a free soft-​serve cone.

We definitely can’t afford to come here all the time, but it’s totally worth it. Parking is scarce, as is seating. BUT. They have both food and ice cream treats — and boozy ice cream treats (21+), if that’s your style. I had a lavender lemon shortbread sundae and my husband had a milkshake; the tab was $ 16 – 18 I think (holy cow, I know), but as an every-​once-​in-​a-​while indulgence, it’s totally worth it. It was delicious! Service was fine — efficient and smiley.

This place is a long drive from Seattle, but it’s definitely worth it! Snoqualmie Ice Cream uses ingredients from their own farm to make the ice cream, with pleasant results.
My two favorite flavors are French Lavender and Tennessee Whiskey. The lavender had a rich flavor without being too overbearing. The whiskey was also very tasty.
The interior is nice and staff are friendly. If you thought Molly Moon’s ice cream was the best place for ice cream, think again. Try Snoqualmie Ice Cream.

I’ve only been here once but it’s left such a great impression on me! There are a ton of flavors to choose from ranging from very unique (basil) to common (vanilla bean) and all are really good! I sampled more than a few: p
Service here is great, the employees are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable not only about the ice cream, but also the company and it’s environmental vision for the way they run their business.
This is they type of company I’d like to be a loyal patron of and I can’t wait to bring friends here!
Try their flat bread or a boozy shake! Really good and unique for an ice cream shop!

Their milkshakes bring this boy to the yard!
What a fantastic little ice cream spot! I’m definitely coming back here, even in spite of the long-​ish drive from Seattle.
First thing you notice when you pull up is that the red barn –themed exterior fits perfectly with the quasi-​rural surroundings of Maltby. Cute is an understatement.
The interior was recently re-​done and it looks fantastic. Very homey. You feel welcomed and comfortable, like you were in your own kitchen.
It’s important to note that this place doesn’t just do ice cream. Ice cream/​shakes/​sundaes are definitely the focal points of the menu, but they have several options that would enable you to have a satisfying lunch as well such as flatbreads or quinoa bowls.
The fact that they incorporate alcohol into so many of their shakes is fantastic. It’s unfortunate that I was driving, because otherwise I would have sampled several of them. That sweet whiskey cinnamon shake had my name written all over it. Or the confetti cake boozy shake. They all looked good.
We kept it simple and ordered a scoop of the almond poppy seed ice cream in a waffle cone and a mint chocolate chip shake. I loved the scoop. It was like an almond poppy-​seed muffin, but with creamy vanilla ice cream instead of bread. It was generously heaped into a cinnamon-​flavored waffle cone. I’m going to check the ice cream aisle at the grocery store for a pint of that flavor next time I go.
The mint chocolate shake was a little syrupy for my taste, but then again I’m not the biggest mint chocolate chip fan. They do give it to you in a mason jar with a cup on the side for all the extra.
There was a bit of a line when we arrived and it took them some time to get through the 3 parties in front of us, but I think that will get better with time (hopefully by summer, ’cause I’mma be here everyday when it gets hot out!). The menu is so diverse and it’s relatively new, so it makes sense that there’s a bit of a learning curve. They do have a drive thru to save you some time. I would definitely recommend going into the store if it’s your first visit, though!
I can’t wait to come back. Too bad I don’t work on the Eastside, or else I could get out here for happy hour. Yeah. An ice cream place with a happy hour. That’s the level of coolness we’re talking about here.

I came here for a private event and I got to try every ice cream flavor there was in the shop. My favorite still is the lavender ice cream because of its strong scent and rich vanilla goodness. The honey cinnamon was a close second and would go well with a hot cider drink. Samantha was very helpful in getting samples for my friends and me.
I also loved their boozy shakes. And their flatbread was covered in sausage goodness.
The sundae I couldn’t get enough of was the bourbon pecan sundae. Covered in caramel goodness and a nice sweet crunch of pecans on bourbon ice cream. Soo good!
I would definitely come here again!

Oh my, this place could be dangerous if it weren’t so far away from where I live. This super fun ice cream shop is located right at the front of their factory location in Maltby where all kinds of magic happens. While those magical creations are shipped to various retail locations around they country, they have plans to expand nationwide, you can walk right into their newly renovated café to enjoy whatever delicious flavors they are offering at the time. Being newly remodeled the place looked literally spotless (seriously, no spots anywhere except in the almond poppy seed ice cream!) and you can tell every effort was taken to turn this into a destination that people will flock to from far and wide.
While the focus is on their various ice cream flavors, you will also find other menu items including some truly amazing flat breads. I tried two different kinds and both were very tasty although my clear favorite was the one with sausage, grilled onions, and mushrooms. With a selection of beers on tap and available wines, I would see this place as a great all ages destination for birthdays, social gatherings, or any other type of event. The space is very open and roomy with big tables, lots of chairs, and they even have some table games tucked away for people to use. Honestly, I would say anyone in the greater Seattle area should take and afternoon to pay this place a visit so you can see for yourself just how awesome it is!

The ice cream is delicious!
I tried the Mukilteo Mud, and the French Lavender. They were both incredibly delicious, but the Lavender was by far my favorite. I can still taste it, it was so remarkable.
They have an adorable little shop with an even more adorable little farm out around back.
Pretty friendly staff as well. I only wish that they had a location closer to where I live. Oh, and that their prices weren’t quite as outrageous. They’re honestly outrageous for how much you’re receiving.
