Whenever in Port Townsend, this is a fun treat. The ice cream shoppe has all the classic flavors and many great malts, floats, and shakes. The old time soda shoppe ambiance adds to the fun. Right next door is the Elevated candy shop which also keeps all the "throwback" sugared sweets from the past, as well as newer released candy. Although I maintain a low sugar diet, this place will always be a stop for me. The staff on both sides are always helpful and assist with a smile. read more

I went twice and tried two different flavors. Both were sort of bland, creamy but no strong flavors. It's hard to make flavor come through in a frozen dessert, but I've had much better. Long lines and young servers seemed stressed. read more

We stopped here during our walk around Port Townsend. This is really two stores. On the left is an ice cream store which we did not try. On the right is a candy store which has fresh fudge, numerous candies in jars, packaged candies, and homemade chocolate and peanut brittle. The wife got some truffle chocolates, the kid got some kind of artificial flavors candy in a plastic package, and I got homemade peanut brittle, which I have not had for years. It was delicious: crunchy (of course), very buttery, with lots of peanuts. I loved it. Service was friendly and helpful. The store is small but well laid out and easy to maneuver. I would visit here again. read more

Classic ice cream shop with a variety of flavors and typical ice cream items. It was very busy but the line moved decently fast. The ice cream was creamy and very delicious. Nice place to stop for a sweet treat after dinner while walking around downtown PT. read more

Stopped here while in Port Townsend. They sell ice cream by the weight, so you can get as little or as much as you want. Lots of interesting flavors. I was a fan of the ginger and maple walnut. Cute story of how they started this ice cream shop! read more

Elevated Ice Cream & Candy Shop - Story of how shop started - Candy Stores Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

They had six non-dairy choices which I have to say is 3x more than other places. I thought it odd that they sold by weight, but hey why not? I got the marionberry sorbet. I believe all the non-dairy choices were sorbets. It was OK, a little too sweet but yummy. read more

Massing the ice cream is rude and tedious for groups. It created a sub par experience. I felt like my group was treated as an annoyance that was 'in the way' despite spending more than other clients that got served before the counter had finished serving the group, despite being behind us in line. Serve clients FIFO please read more

Not much to say other than the fact that their ice cream was excellent. Service and ambiance were okay but not super memorable or anything but their ice cream was on point. They also sell ice cream to go and they operate a candy store right next door. read more

Haven't been to Elevated in years and was super excited for a return visit. It was great back then, but it's gotten EVEN BETTER since. Their ice creams are unique, creamy, and so delicious. The Amaretto Hazelnut was incredible - the hit both the flavors perfectly, and the combination worked so well together. They also have a chocolate selection, which is perfect to take home with you. Plenty of indoor seating. Best place to get your ice cream fix. read more

We were visiting on a hot day and decided to walk the few blocks to get some ice cream. When we show up there is a line which I took as a good sign. The first sign of trouble was when the first teenage girl let a boy her age cut in front of the entire line. I sort of get it, I was a teenager once too but I guess now I'm just old and that didn't make me happy. The next thing was the final straw. We overhear the other teenage girl be rude to an older couple and lecture them on how to properly order ice cream. We just left after that. If the owner is reading- train and manage your staff better! read more

Servings are small but prices are very high. I do not see how servers, mostly on the ice cream side, can be seriously rude, can be considered to handle your food cleanly. One bathroom doesn't even have paper towels. I have seen servers handle money then scoop ice cream without changing their gloves. Some servers would rather gossip among themselves than attend to customers. Coffee and other ice cream drinks can take so long to prepare that the line really backs up. I have been asking the most recent owners for years to put a little stool in the bathrooms so little ones can comfortably wash their hands. It never happened. The newest owner barely gives you his attention when you tell him about a problem. The only thing that keeps me coming back is I have a small grandchild who likes to go. I think she enjoys the coloring pages most, but the provided colored pencils are rarely sharpened. I wish I could review the candy side separately. Most of the servers are nice. The candy is good and interesting. Again, however, the prices are high. O read more

Recommended by our ferry guy as we arrived too early for our ferry. All the way down the main street. That's probably why we never saw and tried it before. We usually go to Nifty Soda for our ice cream treat while we wait for our ferry. There was a line when we got there. Half of our group was more interested in getting candy from the candy shop. I saw one guy making the waffle cones right there, so that was an extra star for me. They had a lot of options, and their ice cream is homemade. Also, they had what I thought was a sobert option, but it was Italian ice cream. Today, it was espresso ice cream with one of their waffle cones for me. There is nothing special in regards to the ice cream itself for me personally to set it a part from the ones I had before, but it's nice to try something new in Port Townsend. Maybe next time, I will have to try one of their Italian ice cream. read more

Great flavors and other options. Tasted great. However, the ice cream & Italian ices portions were a bit small. The root beer float was delicious & worth it. Super view in the back. read more

We walked past this place multiple times before we stopped here after dinner. It was also recommended by another local shop owner. She said to get their cotton candy flavor. That's not my cup of tea but I do love me some ice cream. I didn't see any out there flavors but they have plenty of the standards. I ended up with a small scoop of strawberry on a sugar cone. I think you can also get a regular cake cone and of course, the cup. They have a small patio in the back, where w went to enjoy our ice cream, since we had our pup with us. It overlooks the water so it was cool and breezy in the early evening. Solid ice cream and three small scoops set us back about 10 bucks so a great place for a sweet treat. read more

The Per usual we're on point doesn't matter what you get you're gonna love it even if it's something you've never heard of before go ahead and try it you're gonna love it Unless you hate it of course and that's okay too because there's plenty to choose from so they'll have something that you like for sure and then while you're walking around with your ice cream cone you can Google and gago with all of the old school candies that they have about I ended app with a $15 left in my pocket than I planned on because I found some old school candies I haven't seen it a long time so how some fun And maybe go away with a bag of goodies read more

A really great selection of fantastic ice cream. The cardamom ice cream is a must! Super friendly staff offering samples and helping with the very hard decision of what to get! They also offer some great non-dairy options as well. Ice cream is sold by weight, waffle cones made fresh and super cheap, and they also offer a variety of milkshakes, floats, cream sodas, sundaes, etc. After trying a number of flavors I was sold on the coffee oreo ice cream topped with a scoop of the cardamom.. dreamy. This is on the main strip, so a great place to stop in to grab ice cream as you explore town or enjoy the waterfront. Don't skip Elevated, cheers! read more

I really enjoy stopping by this shop whenever we're in Port Townsend. The ice cream is tasty...portions can feel a little small for the price, but that honestly feels secondary when you take in the charm of the area and the atmosphere of the shop. What keeps us coming back isn't just the ice cream, though...it's the people. There's one employee in particular, Caleb, who consistently makes our visits stand out. He's friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about making each interaction a good one. Even when the shop is busy, he goes above and beyond to make sure we leave with a smile. My family always looks for him when we stop in, because his presence makes the experience memorable every time. To be fair, we've had the occasional interaction with other staff who came across a little distracted or less engaged. It's never ruined the visit, but it does make Caleb's effort and warmth stand out that much more. Overall, we always leave happy, and this shop has become one of our regular stops thanks to the great atmosphere, tasty treats, and overall good service. (And the chance to stroll by the water afterwards doesn't hurt either.) read more

We came on a weekend to walk around Port Townsend. My husband had heard great things about this little shop, so it had been on my list for quite some time. The ice cream was good! A fun selection of flavors. But the service was not. We were the only ones in the shop at the time. 4 of us total. Two teen girls were working and gave off the vibe that we were not wanted. Didn't greet us. Didn't ask if they could help us. Just stood behind the counter and stared at us. We got our order and left as quickly as we could. My maple ice cream was great! Everyone in our group liked that they got. The fruit flavors a sorbets were a hit! The prices were a little high, but not terrible. Next time we are in town we will give them another shot... hoping for a warmer welcome when we do. read more

Used to be run out of the cool old elevator across the street, thus the name, they have a blurb about how now it's elevated because of the quality of the ice cream haha. Got a raspberry italian ice and its served in a little cup with a wood spoon. The ambiance inside is very old timey and full of local history and all sorts of seemingly disjointed brand themes. They have seats in the front, the back, and a patio out back. You can walk all the way through the ice cream shop from one street to the other side. This was a cute stop, but I didn't find the ice cream to be super elevated haha, it was very standard. The Italian ice was similar to a sorbet, you might experience more elevation with one of their dairy based options. Worth a visit to see this cool piece of retro/local history. read more

Positively overwhelmed with all the candy and confectionery options available here, and that's without even addressing the attached ice cream parlor! All the favorites of today and yesteryear are here, even oddities like astronaut ice cream! If you're in need of a sugar rush or a sweet souvenir, elevate yourself, and look nowhere else in PT! read more

Ice cream is excellent. I recommend getting a cone. They have lots of great flavors. I ordered a banana split, which I allow myself once a year each August. I do not recommend that item. The bowl was so small that the 3 scoops overflowed the bowl (truly way too small for anything but golf ball size scoops). The addition of sauces was tiny since anything more would have streamed off the sides (sauces were very good, though). The banana was nice, but no whipped cream. I started to ask about it since I assume she just forgot. I let it go. So, treat yourself to a scoop or two of this delicious ice cream on a cone or dish. read more

Candy Shop: Been here a few times over the years. I don't think we've ever had a bad customer service experience. There's a fun selection of treats. The Fill Your Own Bag corner has a bucket for clean scoops and one for the used scoops. Each of our 3 kids got their own bag filled with their choices of jelly bean flavors from the dispenser and they liked that. Those bags lasted at least a couple of weeks. Ice Cream Shop: I think we've usually skipped this section of the business because they are always super busy. We were in town though for a birthday adventure and we wanted to treat our kids so we stopped in. It was packed and we had a bit of anxiety because we have two under 12 and aren't able to get vaccinated, but we waited in line, distancing as much as we could. When we got to the front, we had to wait a bit, but then we got checked on multiple times to make sure we were taken care of. The staff working that particular day were amazing and had fantastic customer service. We are a family of FIVE! I don't think I saw anyone in the back who would not be considered "young adults" and they handled the pressure with grace... and I've worked in customer service for over 15 years. I was beyond impressed. I would recommend the lavender flavors and most definitely a Cardamom espresso float! read more

Surprisingly tasty ice cream! Didnt' expect it. I bought a pint and a cookie. Would go back here again.

Super cute ice cream shop in the historical downtown of Port Townsend. On a recent trip, we decided to stop in for an after-dinner treat. We both got little sundaes and they were delish! The girl behind the counter was very pleasant & got our order out to us quickly. The ice cream was smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. I also loved that the nuts were under the whipped cream, it made the sundae super delicious. I would've taken pics, but we were too busy eating. Definitely will return the next time we're in town. read more

It was freezing in Port Townsend and we needed hot coffee, so we walked clear down the street and finally noticed the sign out front of Elevated Ice Cream that said Espresso. I've stopped in this place before and there is almost always a line, even on a cold windy day people are still getting ice cream, but not us, we needed to warm up. They were really busy and it took them forever to make my Vanilla Latte. The flavor was pretty hard to beat, but the Latte wasn't hot at all, in fact it was without a doubt the coolest hot Latte I've ever been served, should have guessed from an ice cream shop, right? Still, it warmed me up for our walk back to the ferry, but I might look elsewhere next time for my Latte before choosing Elevated Ice Cream. read more

Delish, and although the line was long the service was quick. Will definitely visit again!

good ice cream filling the 85 character gap i really dont want to make a big thing about it the ice cream is good read more

Need an old timey local ice cream shoppe in your life? This is the place for you. We've stopped in during every visit to Port Townsend and love it every time. Their secret is their simplicity. Just a bunch of delicious ice cream flavors and kind, helpful, and patient employees. Oh, and delicious cones, too! This last time, they even made our dog a pup cup. Big hit! read more

Went in for sundaes this eve after walking around town after what's been a sad and draining few days for us. The gal that made our sundaes forgot the hot fife on both of them. Glad i caught it before we left. Got back to the hotel room only to be even more disappointed to find out the sauce is made with dark chocolate. Not at all what we expected! Wish the menu board had mentioned that the hot sauce was dark chocolate flavor. We've had ice cream here before, but it was our first time ordering sundaes. From now on we will just stick with other ice cream parlor down the street. read more

I had to visit Elevated after a wine tasting at a local cidery featured some of their sea salted, ooey gooey truffles. Their chocolates paired exquisitely with ciders and wines. I said to myself, "I need to get me those sea salted, ooey gooey truffles that taste like a super-expensive treat!" Rich, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates with a smooth mouth feel and the explosions of raspberry, combined with the hint of saltiness is just the kind of stuff that makes you run up your credit card bill! The confection store is connected to the Ice Cream store and both sides were pricey, but I do think the ice cream side was pricier than the candy side. I saw a book about a cat named "Spam" who battles zombies on a school bus and immediately wanted it, but the price scared me away (it was on the ice cream side, by the way). Parking is on the street. Feed the meter. Good luck finding parking during peak tourist season. You're welcome. read more

The line was too long for ice cream so we went next door to get chocolates and candy instead.

These folks have a large selection of ice cream and a handful of sorbets. They also have a candy store attached that has lots of old-time and new candy, including a large selection of cotton candy flavors, including pickle! The best thing is the good variety of flavors made in-house My favorite is cardamom but coffee is right behind. You can also get a container of your favorite flavor to take home. Yum! read more

Ice cream is great, Most of the staff was nice but the manager Jasmin was very rude, spoke to me disrespectfully, and made disgusted facial expressions. I honestly felt discriminated. Her service was poor; I live in this area and am afraid Jasmin may be treating tourists in the same manner. Otherwise, ice cream is delicious. read more
