Interesting seasonal flavors - Edit
Tasty vegan ice cream. I enjoyed the variety of flavors, especially the fresh seasonal options. The waffle cones are very good! The downsides: some flavors' texture is pretty chalky/gritty, and I wish the prices weren't quite so high. We paid $31 for two waffle cones with tax and tip.

The only ice cream I eat - Edit
Their ice cream is more like gelato to me, which is why I like it so much. I frequented their Ballard location as often as I could, especially during Summer evenings when I could easily walk there. I am placing their online orders bc I love their delicious ice cream so much and I no longer live in Seattle. Nothing compares. And their waffle cones…oh my, I miss those. My favorite flavors are chocolate tahini supercokie & salty caramel ash. Every flavor I tried is amazing. Yum. They ship nation wide btw…

Yum! A fully vegan scoop shop! - Edit
Ice cream was great, as expected, and the waffle cone made it a five star experience. Kind of like Van Leeuwen's but entirely vegan.

Loved the waffle cone. Ice creams were good, I loved the transparency of all the ingredients. $12 USD for a standard cone though😒

Overpriced Bougie Bloodmouths - Edit
Had a terrible time here. Really sorry to report that this place is awful, the servers and management aren't vegan, I can only assume the owners aren't either. This is the embodiment of greenwashing. Twelve bucks for two of the tiniest balls of ice cream I've ever seen (like smaller than french ice cream) and if you want, they'll sell you half as much for eleven dollars!! When I complained about the weird up-sale of less ice cream for more money, the manager Alex gave me a free scoop, and then said the weirdest thing ever, "I hope you can get to a place where you don't feel ashamed for eating as much ice cream as you want." Holy crap.
Read moreBelieve me, I don't give a fugg what a bunch of filthy bloothmouths think of my eating habits, after all, their opinions of food are garbage just like their ethical consideration for sentient life.
I have no idea how to explain this except they all got but hurt when I asked if they were vegans and they had to answer no. At least they were honest, but c'mon I'm not the one making you feel bad, you're the ones making Animals and the Earth not just feel bad, but die. Time to flush the vampire crew and get some vegans inside.
Pros: delicious flavors, nice product
Cons: no restroom, tiny portions, overpriced, weirdest up-sale, no vegan servers here, $2.75 for a cone if you don't want paper waste

Amazing Vegan Ice Cream Shop - Edit
The service was excellent and so kind! I was able to try a bunch of flavors (recommend them all), but my favorites were definitely the Veracruz Vanilla (hurry, they get new flavors the first Wednesday of the month and it’s seasonal), California Cabin, and Strawberry Milk but ended up going with the Beet Strawberry Rose Sorbet because I wanted something summery.
Read moreWill totally come back! The waffle cones are made in-house and had a cinnamon hint to me but it could be the brown sugar. Yum!

Best ice cream of any kind I’ve had vegan or not - Edit
Unique flavors and the texture reminded me of premium local creamery style dairy ice cream from a certain famous creamery I used to go to in central PA. I had a seasonal lemon one 6 months ago and I’m still thinking about it.

Overrated but decent - Edit
Line was very long (~45 minute wait). Ice cream was good but not worth the wait. The flavors with things mixed in (like cookies, etc) are much better than their other flavors. (Burnt brown sugar ice cream just tastes like coconut vanilla.)

Hipster ice cream - Edit
Yes it’s hipster but it’s also very good. I went with the least- refined choices…brown sugar vanilla and mint brownie. Wow! So good! Waffle cone was fresh and delicious. A bit pricey but wow good!

Creamy! - Edit
The best tasting and textured vegan ice cream I have ever had. Had the California cabin in the little chunks of blondie or cake and it were so good. Get the waffle cone for sure, it was so delicious in the texture was perfectly crumbly and easy on the teeth.

Awesome ice cream - Edit
My compulsive sweet tooth drags me here sometimes when I'm craving some refreshing plant-based ice cream. I've always loved every flavor I try here. I like getting a cone, but $2.50 is super pricey so I think I'll steer clear of getting the cone and stick with cups going forward. Sometimes there can be a line but generally it moves quickly. Staff always courteous and warm.

Delicious, many options, friendly staff - Edit
It's a fun little spot with several delicious options. They allow samples, so we tried the mountain berry magic, chocolate tahini supercookie, date shake, mint brownie, and jamocha chaga fudge. All were excellent, but we went with mountain berry, chocolate tahini, and jamocha chaga fudge. The waffle cone was thick and tasted very toasted, which was nice. Prices weren't too bad, $4.50 for 1 scoop, $7 for 2, but $2.50 for the cone. Worth a visit for sure though!

Intentional Ice Cream that will blow you away! - Edit
I feel like this plant based ice cream should be in it's own category! This 100% vegan ice cream shop makes the best quality ice cream! I LOVED the California Cabin, unique with pepper cardamom shortbread pieces! The other one we tried was chocolate fudge enriched with all kinds of goodness including oats and almonds, even mushroom powder! It is also sweetened with maple syrup instead of cane sugar. You can tell you are eating something of substance, not just a sweet dessert. The ice cream is phenomenal and it is a great place if you have food allergies. There are many choices for ice cream and you can either get them by the scoop or by the pint. Check out their website for their offerings!

Best Vegan Ice Cream - Edit
Frankie and Jo's is hands down the best vegan ice cream I've ever had. I had to persuade my girlfriend to pick up the rotating flavors for me while I was back on the East Coast so I could try them when I came to visit. My only complaint would be the pints are definitely pricey, but to use the quality of ingredients they do and to pay their staff real wages, I will gladly support a local business. I look forward to seeing their new flavors each month.

Best vegan ice cream! - Edit
Frankie & Jo’s is our favorite celebratory ice cream spot. We usually head there for dessert after enjoying dinner at Plum Bistro and picking up a dozen donuts from Mighty O to take home. All three places are on the same block! They have lots of creative rotating flavors, which you can sample before making a decision. My favorite so far has been the beet rose sorbet!
Read moreMake sure to plan your visit ahead, because the line often snakes out the door and down the sidewalk!
Pros: Very creative flavors, All vegan , Close to other vegan restaurants
Cons: Long lines , Limited seating
