The Fainting Goat Gelato is a nice little gelato shop with a clean aesthetic. I got the espresso gelato: it had a rich coffee flavor without being too overly sweet. The texture was smooth, and I thought it was refreshing and not heavy compared to other gelatos I've had. The employee was really friendly while I sampled the flavors, and while there's not a ton of seating inside, it's still a nice place to enjoy dessert with people. read more

I tried banana cream pie and double Espresso. Banana cream pie tasted as advertised. Double espresso tasted like a generic coffee ice cream. I tried my friend's pistachio flavor and I was impressed that actually tasted like a pistachio nut. Gelato was very creamy although I prefer a balance of dense and creaminess. Service was good. Hardly any seating inside. read more

Go for the Pure Hazelnut and Strachetiella! Best flavors out of everything we tried. Paired them with an espresso and you got the perfect pick-me-up. Their gelatos were on the icier end though which was not great but very cute store and staff was super nice! read more

Apparently now they shut the espresso machine down fully two entire hours before close and can't turn it back on? Honestly the main reason to go here over any of the other ice cream shops in the neighborhood is to get an affogato and if you can't do that I might as well wait in the Indigo Cow queue. Used to really love this place but the staff here just isn't it. read more

Update: The owner reached out to me with an apology, the screenshot is included. I appreciate them looking into the situation and offering a giftcard. Giving everything that happened I'm not interested in coming back with or without a gift card. Had the owner looked into the incident first before accusing me of maliciously lying maybe I'd feel different. I hope this situation doesn't happen to anyone else, but want to update and post the screenshot for transparency. read more

Really good, smooth gelato. Service was friendly and fast. 3 tables and about 10 chairs inside.

Probably the best gelato I have ever tried. The staff is great and they gave us recommendations before we made a choice. It's a small place with plenty of seating. We tried chocolate and Nutella flavors were both amazing! I will definitely visit this place again! read more

Wanted a bit of a sweet treat, so came by this fainting goat spot. It's a super casual spot with a few tables and counter seats to enjoy your treat. It was relatively empty, so we were able to try a bunch of samples without feeling rushed. We ended up getting the Mexican vanilla bean and the strawberry sorbetto. Separate, they can be a lot, but together, it paired well. I wouldn't say they're very gelato-y though, it's not as creamy and thick as other gelato places. I also wish they had more variety in sizing. I like having 2 flavors but the small is still pretty big :c read more

The staff was very friendly and patient with me as I tried some flavors! She was also very patient with the kids after us. The place feels clean and has a good ambiance for hanging out if you need a moment to rest. Regarding the ice cream and sorbet itself, it is very very sweet. Admittedly, I am not a fan of super sweet desserts and ice cream but if you are, you might like this! My boyfriend and I got the pineapple sorbet and sea salt caramel. Both flavors are good although the sea salt caramel tasted like coffee. Not exactly my go-to ice cream place but I'm glad I tried it! Decent price for ice cream! read more

Walked into this cute gelato shop after dining in Wallingford. Was greeted by a super friendly employee (I think her name was Isabel) She offered us samples and we settled on pistachio and stracciatella, They were both wonderful and made a great duo. The flavor of the pistachio was sublime and paired well with the crunch of the stracciatella. Wonderful! read more

so yummy! i got the pear sorbet which was so refreshing on a hot day. it tasted exactly like an american pear. texture wise it wasn't like the typical sorbet and kind of had a fluffy texture. my friend got a chocolate flavor of some sort and it was so rich and creamy. kind of reminded me of those popsicle fudge bars from childhood. read more

I highly recommend this place! I was absolutely blown away by their gelato--it's that good. We ordered a medium size, and it was more than enough for the four of us to share. We tried pistachio, tiramisu, and fig, and every single flavor was incredible. On top of that, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I'm already planning my next visit to explore more flavors. If you're debating which gelato spot to try, stop thinking and just come here! It was about $9.5 for medium size (3 scoops/flavors). read more

Came in, server let me try four flavors. I probably could've tried more but didn't want to get too much LOL. It was all pretty good, but I ended up getting the Pistachio and Mexican Vanilla Bean. The matcha was pretty good too but my friends ordered it and I hate ordering the same thing. Pretty good dessert, would definitely come back! read more

One of my favorite gelato spots! My favorite flavors are the rose and hazelnut. Sooo yummy! The rose is so unique and delish. Hazelnut is so creamy and very nutty. Love to buy a couple pints to bring home as well! read more

My friends and I tried the chocolate fondante, Mexican vanilla bean, and pistachio, and tiramisu in a pint. The medium size, which allows 3 flavors, was pretty hefty and definitely for sharing with friends. The gelatos were all smooth and creamy. The chocolate had a fairly bitter taste to it and I thought it tasted like cocoa powder. I'd categorize it as an adult chocolate rather than one you'd want to give kids. I've never had Mexican vanilla bean before but the flavor itself was so pronounced and strong in the gelato, which I appreciated. The pistachio and tiramisu ones had more subtle flavors The medium was $7.50 read more

Flavors were good. But they whipped a lot of air into the gelato. Rather disappointed that they are doing this now. It turned to softserve rather quickly. I'll try again later in the summer. They used to be really good and dense. read more

Delicious dessert that's sizable too. Though not quite crazy enough to impress and exceed expectations, Fainting Goat is above average. Gelato is an improved version of ice cream that can also be considered healthier with less fat and less sugar. It's also typically denser with less air whereas ice cream sometimes is half (50%) air. We got the Mint stratiacella, chai latte, Fainting Goats Milk with, and Chocolate Fondante I'd rank my favorite to least favorite as: chocolate fondante, chai latte, mint, and fainting goat My partner ranked: mint, chocolate, chai latte, fainting goat The fainting goat simply had a more indescribable taste that was a little too unique for our likings. It wasn't necessarily bad, just different. Some type of vanilla with The mint was very standard but hard to go wrong with. Chocolate was extremely rich. Chai latte was a cinnamon flavor with strong hints of sweetness One complaint was that my utensil had plastic bits ripping off and I eventually found out I ate some bits thinking it was part of the gelato. Super tiny bits but awful to think about. Debated on how this affected my perspective for a bit but I think it's a negative. read more

I love love love this place because of the taste and also because it is goat milk! I don't tolerate well cow milk ice cream and these have been great every single time! We like them better in summer but winter is totally fine :D I believe that the ones that are always on the counter is lemon and espresso. Both are very good. I like trying new or seasonal flavours too as mango or was it pineapple? And try their waffle! Oh super tasty!! I will definitely go and try the fig one. I've been trying to catch it! We usually sit in one of their two small tables outside. The one in the inside is very busy. Staff is very patient and friendly. Sometimes we have to make a line but it moves fast when 2 people helping. Finding a parking spot on the road is a challenge. Last time we paid in a nearby parking lot. read more

Fainting Goat is one of my favorite stops in Fremont! I love the ice cream, the atmosphere, and the customer service. The ice cream servers are as sweet as the ice cream. :) read more

I've been excited to check this place out for a while now since I've been missing the gelato in Italy! It was empty on a weekday evening too. My partner and I split a 3-scoop cone with chocolate fondante, goats milk, and pink guava gelato. Chocolate fondante was not too chocolatey - but I now see they have dark chocolate on the menu. Goats milk was a subtle flavor, not sure how to describe really, and I wasn't a big fan unfortunately. The pink guava was yummy but a little too sweet. Overall not super super impressed with the flavors I picked unfortunately. But the gelato was very creamy and silky smooth. So I'll have to give this a 3.5/5. Although I'll have to come back to try the hazelnut or dark chocolate if they have those flavors. read more

A bit conflicted. The ice cream is good, so is the service - but it's gotten incredibly expensive, and the last time I went I was overcharged. My wife and I usually get a "Love-A-Cake", which has recently been increased to 12.00 (!!). Then, once we left we realized that we were actually charged $13.50 each. On top of that, they have one of those tip screens that requests a minimum of 15%. At the end of the day I paid $33 for two brownies and two scoops of ice cream. At what point does it all just become a little too much? For me, that day is today. read more

If I can give this place 10 stars I totally would! The ice cream isn't overly sweet and they all taste amazing! We love places that support their employees as well and they've all been pleasant. The place is cute and well kept. Go to ice cream spot read more

Stopped by for a quick gelato craving after dinner. The chocolate flavor was ummmmmmmm sooooooooooo goooooood. So fudgy, gooey and oh so delicious. I could eat it all day. Hubby got the lemon olive oil and rose flavors and loved it. Lemon was tart, just how he likes. And rose was very refreshing. Great dessert option if you are in the hood! read more

The kiddos and I have been checking out various ice cream spots in the Seattle area and this one definitely ranks up there! I ordered the small and it was a pretty big portion. My kiddo got the medium and could barely finish. Other kiddo got the small in a waffle cone and it was filled up. We tried the chocolate fondante, Mexican vanilla, stracciatella and toasted almond gelatos and they were all fantastic. Stracciatella is my usual go-to flavor and I was not disappointed. None of the gelatos were overtly sweet and they were all exceedingly rich and creamy. There are a couple of tables for outdoor seating. It was really nice to sit outside on a warm evening, people watch and enjoy our treat. We have been wanting to stop by for a while now, and we are so glad we finally did! read more

Love this place and everything they stand for. Was down the street from where I lived in Seattle and the gelato is soo yummy

Delicious Gelato with pint options to take home and decent espresso for them affogato afficionado. The atmosphere isn't much. Very minimal design, as most ice cream parlors are. Gets the job done to sit down and eat so that the kids don't get the car all messy. Plenty of choices for the whole family and mom and dad can grab a pint for after the kids go to bed! read more

The gelato didn't blow my mind but it was still quite nice! Pistachio gelato was subtly sweet and its aromatic flavor was very well done. Stracciatella was *chefs kiss* classic. Hazelnut was velvety and nuttily delicious. Even the small portions were enough to make my friend and I feel full! 4 stars for the taste, but the overall experience was a 3 since the cashier made us feel unwelcome. I understand that they might have been having a bad day, but treating customers as if they just wanted us to leave is not acceptable. read more

All of summer I have been trying different ice cream places and Fainting Goat was on my list. Last night we drove from West Seattle to this place to try their gelatos. We ordered 2 small scoops (2 flavors) one with Stracciatella+ Chocolate Fondante and the other with Chocolate Fondante+Sea Salt Caramel. Everything tasted good. The gelatos were delicious BUT the customer service was HORRIBLE. It was my first time visiting this place and obviously as an ice cream lover I was confused as to what to order but my husband was clear and ready to order immediately. I told the young lady behind the counter that I was confused and if she could help me out. She rolled her eyes and did not respond even though she stood right there judging me. I was looking at the different options trying to make up my mind (and reading the ingredients in some gelatos since I was not familiar with it at all being my first time here) and she seemed grumpy and irritated. Trust me this was all in 30 seconds to a min max so its not like I was standing there confused not knowing what to order for 10 mins+. Fearfully, I ordered the Stracciatella+ Chocolate Fondante. There was absolutely no one in the store apart from my husband and I so she could have been kind friendly and courteous. Rolling eyes? seriously? That is not the level of customer service I expect from any place. Plus why not help ice cream lovers understand what is one of your best sellers so we can see what you have. Now I do know why this ice cream place is not crowded as some other places - nobody wants to walk in to an ice cream parlor to be treated this poorly. Clearly this ruined our evening and left a bitter taste. Sadly, I will not be returning again no matter how good their gelatos are. read more

BEST SORBET EVER PERIOD. omgggg all of their sorbet flavors are so delicious!!! I absolutely love fainting goat and I definitely recommend this place over Molly Moons to all my friends who visit. The flavors are usually changing but all the flavors that I've tried were all super yummy! I love the pineapple, strawberry, peach, & raspberry sorbet.. actually ALL the sorbets are so good! So light, fresh & flavorful. Highly highly recommended! If you're in Wallingford, make sure to try Fainting Goat! I just wish I lived closer to this place - but then it would be bad for me because I would want to eat it everyday! Hahah :) read more

I just love the name and the gelato was pretty good. It was a bit expensive but would go again to try out the different flavors.

Our last stop of the night was at Fainting Goat Gelato. Always love trying out new gelato spots. It's a few doors from Yoroshiku. We dropped in on a late Friday evening (around 10:30pm). The one worker was starting to clean up the shop but was super friendly and let us know they were still open for business. The inside is small with half a dozen tables. They had 14 gelato and sorbet flavours available. We sampled a couple before we made our decision. Scoops are on the pricey side ($4.95 US single, $6.50 US double and $8.50 US triple). Not cheap for us Canadians. They also had espresso, pints ($10.00 US), affogato and gelato cakes on the menu. There's gelato sandwiches ($6.50 US) and macaroons ($1.75 US) but I didn't see any in the fridge. - Two scoops ($6.50 US) - we went with pear ginger sorbet and Mexican vanilla. Sorbet was refreshing but I tasted more ginger than pear flavour. Good but the flavour was a bit too subtle. Mexican vanilla was much more satisfying; reminded me of horchata. Think they mix cinnamon into this. I'd get it again. FGG was worth a try but we weren't blown away by their gelato and sorbet flavours. 3.5 stars. read more

Got the lemon which I saw high praise for, and I was let down. The ingredients were not evenly mixed at all. Lots of spoonfuls of just overpowering crème flavor without any hint of lemon. Some bites had lots of lemon flavor. The lemon wafers mixed in were a good addition but sparse and few in between. Portions were good, the baby size for $5 would be a small elsewhere. However with few flavor options and experience I had, not sure I would come back. read more

This gelato shop was such a nice surprise! I wasn't expecting to eat here, but I am so glad I did. The gelato here so smooth and creamy. And the flavors are on point -- I highly recommend the double espresso and mint. Great combination. The best part is three sizes offered. I opted for the smallest size and was only expecting to choose one flavor, but the guy helping my group out said we could choose two! This is now a permanent bookmark for whenever I'm in the Seattle area. read more
