My friend has been seeing this place a lot on Instagram so we decided to stop by on our tour around…read moreSeattle over the weekend. Be prepared for a long line no matter what time of day. This place is super popular, but the line moves quickly. They have QR codes available whilst waiting in line so you can try to decide your flavor ahead of time. What's great is that you can also ask for samples when you reach the counter. I know frozen Greek yohgurt is all the rage right now and Hellenika doesn't disappoint. I got the Ube Coconut flavor and it was incredible. I definitely didn't taste the coconut as much as I would have hoped, but it was such a fun flavor with which to experiment. The frozen yoghurt was not as tart as I would have expected but there is a slight aftertaste in case you don't enjoy that aspect of eating yoghurt. They had some other unique flavors such as Tim Tam, Seattle Fog, Lemon Curd, etc which paid homage to their Australian-Greek heritage while also honoring Seattle. I cannot recommend coming here (especially with friends to have company in line and then people to share different flavors with). It is worth the wait in line especially during a Seattle summer.

When we visited Hellinka Cultured, on a weekday afternoon, there was a line half a block long. The…read moreline moves pretty fast though. While waiting in line, we were able to scan a QR Code and see all eight of their flavors for that day - Latte, Honey Matcha, Ube Coconut, Dutch Chocolate, Vanilla Malt, Marionberry, London Fog, Canteloupe. It taste like extra creamy slightly tangy ice cream. It's served at a temperature where it's already starting to melt, but that's usually not an issue since people at it so quickly! Their process starts with cultured milk. The milk is churned into gelato in small batches. We couldn't decide what to get so we went with a flight of all 8 flavors served in kids cups. I thought the cultured gelato went well with all the fruity flavors (Marionberry and Canteloupe), but my overall favorite was Ube Coconut - I just really like that flavor profile. Brendan's favorite was Dutch Chocolate and he was ok with Canteloupe and Marionberry Charlotte's favorites were Ube Coconut and Honey Matcha Shanying's favorite were London Fog and then Ube Coconut. My family scores: Brendan - 4.7 Charlotte - 4.1 Shanying - 4.0 Winston - 4.0

I'm visiting Seattle from Los Angeles, and this was the first coffee shop I tried on my trip. I…read moreordered a 12 oz hot mocha latte. About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.

Stopped by this shop to get a cup of ice cream. It was located in front of a restaurant. Mainly to…read morego place, but can sit in restaurant tables if they are free. They had about 20 different flavors. There were waffles, cones and cups available. The menu also had floats, roots beers and shakes. One person was handing out the ice cream, and another person was at the register. The store was popular, as there was a line to get ice creams. We waited about 5 minutes for our turn. My daughter picked the cotton candy flavor. It was $7 for a scoop. The checkout process was quick. The ice cream tasted okay to me. It wasn't that creamy or dense. I had much better flavored cotton candy ice cream elsewhere.

We waited a few minutes to order and they had a decent selection of ice cream and offered various cones along with bowls. Unfortunately the actual taste was lacking, it barely had any flavor.

The staff is kind and is more than happy to let you sample to your heart's desire. There is seating both inside and out. I am sure on summer evenings this place is insanely busy, but on a Monday at approximately 2PM, I didn't wait in a line at all. They had fun summer flavors such as apricot crisp, blueberry cheesecake, cherry chunk, and strawberry sorbet. I tried two different flavors, and both were delicious. Both flavors were extremely creamy, even the fruity flavored ones. I started with the strawberry sorbet. It was refreshing. The strawberry really shined through and was extremely fresh tasting. I feel like strawberry flavoring can sometimes come off as artificial, but I did not have that experience with this ice cream. The second flavor I sample, and my favorite one of the day was the honey lavender. It felt like you were walking through an organic lavender field. As always, cities have expensive ice cream, but I am just a girl, so I will get a sweet treat.

Great place for ice cream!…read more It looks like they make their ice cream here because they have a little viewing window showing them dispensing something into a container (looks like a giant tub of soft serve).

There's one display case that showed nothing but chocolates. Like a See's candy store but without the employees wearing white shirts with black trimming. And it seems all the store on the block sell little things like magnets, carrying bags, pins, or stuffed items. There's a table inside but it's pushed into the corner, so if you're a little big don't be eyeing the chocolates. You can sit with you back facing against it ;p Overall four stars. It's a nice small store that sees plenty of foot traffic. Wish, I could give it five but (and through no fault of her own) service was slow. She was there covering the whole area and it got busy. Don't forget to tip. She worked hard.

Rudely said $3.50 each. So the 2 I started with I said ohhh ok just the 2 I had picked. So $7 for 2 small Carmels. And I guess the 50 cents extra was added for ‍the girl was rude. So 7.50 for 2 very small Carmels. I'm all for supporting small business, but no prices listed kinda made me feel they gouge me on prices. And being it was a tourist location I guess that's what they do. The 2 girls working maybe just having a bad day. I was the only customer in the shop. But neither wanted to look up and help me at first. But at least the Carmel was good.
