I think this scoop shop is now called West Coast Cones. They should fix the name. As I'm not from…read morethe area I have to guess but the outside of the building in other peoples' pictures looks the same only with a different sign. Correct me if I'm wrong. So this is a review of West Coast Cones. Wow! Best ice cream I've had for a very very long time! I had a scoop of Kaluah Chocolate and a scoop of Coffee Hazelnut on a cake cone. They were both soooo silky smooth, soft (but not too) and the flavors tasted amazing! You know how sometimes hazelnut flavor tastes cloyingly sweet and artificial? There was no hint of that in the coffee hazelnut. It tasted just like freshly roasted hazelnuts and good coffee. My husband ordered a cherry shake and he didn't think it had much flavor. I think he made a bad choice. Our friend had chocolate and straccitella . (Don't know how to spell that). He liked it too. I really hope I can go back some day! Soooo impressed!

This little place is a hidden gem which should not be missed. While visiting on a weekend, we heard…read moreabout this place from a local. It is a little stand facing the street, which looks underwhelming at first glance. BUT, they offer delicious coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches and fast friendly service for a reasonable price. Don't skip on the spicy breakfast sauce. I don't typically like spicy sauces especially on breakfast food but it is SO good. We make it a rule not to go to the same places when on vacation so we can try new places but we broke it here. We went back both mornings because the sandwiches were so good. The only downside is there is no place to really sit and eat outside so you would need to take your food to go and sit in your car, go back to hotel or air bnb, unless it is nice out and you can find a bench somewhere. Overall, this place was a hit and I suggest you try it if ever in Friday Harbor.

We stopped initially for a quick ice cream bar but these were no DQ bars, they are completely hand made with unique flavours. At $6.00 each they are a touch pricey but totally worth it.

We actually made it on our way back and so glad we did. They have a lot of unique flavors. We just got a couple double scoops so we could try more flavors! Once Baked Cookie Dough (5): My wife loves the traditional cookie dough so this piqued our interest. If you've ever had a pizookie, its sort of like that. Sort of underbaked and soft. It was delicious! Coffee Toffee Crunch (5): Can't go wrong with a coffee/toffee combo. Their slow churned process makes this really creamy and delicious! Wild Blackberry (4): Curiosity got to us on this one since wild blackberries seem to be everywhere up here. I've had some really good ones and some really questionable ones. This was good. What I'd expect. What this proved to me was their sweet cream base is amazing and can be paired with anything really. Lemon Raspberry (5): Wasn't expecting much but this one blew me away. This was my favorite of the group! Sweet and tart and fruity all at the same time with no flavor overpowering another. Very good. Cold Brew Float (4): This is really just a cup of the ice cream of your choice. Then you grab a can of their cold brew and pour it on top. I went with their mint chip. It was good. The cold brew was good. This is something I feel like I'd do at home too. (and I think I will cause we're taking some pints home!) Overall, a great stop on your way to wherever. They have pints to take home as well. Luckily we had a cooler in the car so we took home our favorite flavors. We'll be making this a stop whenever we're in the area now.

Warning you now--the scoops here are HUGE! Some of you have no problem with this and I don't blame…read moreyou. It's hard to find good ice cream that's a good buy anywhere these days. But for those of us who want a more modest scoop and don't like to waste food, Lopez Island Creamery presents a challenge. Because even their "Kids" scoop at an affordable $4 is HUGE. Take a look at the pic of my Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet and my hubs' Peaches & Cream on cake cones. They are the size of BIG adult-size scoops. They were both delicious but I couldn't finish mine and felt bad about that. My two relatives each got the "Single" scoop at an affordable $6 each and they each received two HUGE adult-sized scoops. Both my family members couldn't finish their ice creams and had to throw them out. So, you see my dilemma. I hate wasting food and I don't like seeing others waste food too. Perhaps if Lopez Island Creamery offered a "Micro" scoop that was a true, small scoop, I'd give them five stars and would give them another try. Still, this is a tasty ice cream shop tucked away in a non-descript office park setting. You can enjoy your ice cream inside or outside. On a summer weekend day, expect lines. On a weekday, not a problem. Staff are friendly and accommodating and you can sample as many flavors as you want to find just the right one.
