The chocolate gelato here is tasty and the texture is stretchy and perfect! Not much else I need to say, it's just worth a stop when you're in the mood for gelato. The pistachio was good too. The shop is small and can get crowded when there's a line, though there is some seating. It's nice to grab the gelato here and walk around Fremont. read more

Fainting Goat Gelato - Chocolate and pistachio gelato - small split cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fainting Goat Gelato was SO yummy! They have great flavor combinations, and it's the perfect little treat to grab when you're in the area thrifting. The service is always great too! Everyone is super nice, and they're happy to let you sample flavors if you're stuck between choices--which I definitely appreciate because choosing just one is hard The inside is pretty small with limited space to sit and enjoy your gelato, but the vibes are good and everything we've tried has been delicious. Honestly, no notes! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Fainting Goat Gelato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ice cream, gelato, soft serve, etc., I love it all! Fainting Goat has been on my list for a while, so when I was in Fremont for something else and passed by this place, I jumped on it. Gelato for lunch? Yes, please! I got there right at opening, so it wasn't crazy busy. They give samples, woo hoo! And you can get a split scoop... even at the smallest size! They charge a little more for it, but I'd rather that than letting a bunch go to waste if I can't finish it. So thanks for having that option! I only tried the lemon and pistachio, and both were excellent. I've become a lemon fan over the past year or so, and this lemon was really good. Pistachio is a favorite, it can be hit or miss a lot of times, esp with frozen desserts. This pistachio actually tasted like pistachio, and not the fake pistachio flavor. It tasted like the pistachio butter you get on a Greek island. Delicious! Also, the sweet girl serving was really friendly and engaging. I recommend this place, for sure! read more

Gelato shop located in Fremont. The gelato is creamy and super flavorful. They give you HUMONGOUS portions - my sister and I struggled to finish the medium ($8.95, 3 flavors). The vanilla, lemon curd shortbread, amaretto, and cherry were all wonderful. There is some seating inside, and the staff are polite. read more

05/24/2026 My friend and I had dinner nearby and had to stop here because of the name! The inside was fairly small, but there was no line. The server was very friendly and patient. I sampled a few flavors before deciding on Pistachio and Tiramisu, split in a small cup. The texture was creamy, though not as dense as I'm used to with gelato. It was still very enjoyable! read more

I adore this place! Great gelato - I love trying their new flavors and the workers are so nice!! Great place to stop if you're walking around Lake Union or just want somewhere to escape the heat for a bit while in Fremont. The seating indoors is limited since it's a small shop but they have outdoor seating too which is nice!! read more

Thought it was pretty good with a few unique flavors, their goat milk one is like a hit or miss. The chocolate was really rich. Their lemon was my favorite! It had like chunks, I think cream cookies? But it added a nice crunch, the flavor overall kind of reminded me of a lemon yogurt that I really liked. Service was very friendly and kind about samples. Overall the store's very cozy and there's outdoor seating. read more

After walking around Fremont, dessert is earned! Convenient location near the waterfront, Sunday market, and many restaurants. No washroom, had another group come in to ask about restrooms. Nearest is PCC. Kind worker, was energetic and happy to help. There's an alright amount of seating inside, nothing too crazy. Goat Milk - super soft and fluffy, like a cloud. Creamy! Flavor is like a sweetened milk, which I definitely recommend. Plus the name of the shop is around goats, so the flavor kind of serves as a specialty. Stracciatella - a classic stracciatella, one of my go to flavors at gelato spots! Like the gelato version of chocolate chip, these finely shaven chocolate bits melt easier with less surface area and blend into the cream. Typically it's a sweet cream flavor, which I believe to hold true here. Perfect for added texture, if desired. read more

I'm so used to small portions when it comes to buying ice cream from a shop but Fainting Goat Gelato does not disappoint. Their portions are plenty and their gelato is so good. I got a double scoop of matcha green tea and hazelnut which are both my favorites but in a gelato form. The place is very cozy and the customer service is great. Make the stop at Fainting Goat if you are craving dessert, highly recommend. read more

I've had this bookmarked for a while; the name and the cute interior had always intrigued me when driving by in y bus. The sunny weekend weather and a trip to the Fremont Sunday Market brought me in. The sever was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the origin of the shop and ingredients used. I sampled a bunch before making my selection. All of them were very tasty making for a tough decision. I finally settled on the goat milk mastic combined with spicy chocolate - great combo! I loved that I was asked which flavor I wanted on the bottom- it's that last bite that lingers on the tastebuds! Go for the homemade waffle cone - sturdy, crunchy, and right amount of sweetness. Also, the team will cheerfully hand pack a pint to go if your desired flavor isn't already in the cooler. read more

Really great gelato! Also, they sell pints to go and we'll make up a pint of any flavor they don't already have in the freezer, which is very nice. Going with four stars instead of five only because it's very hard to get information about their rewards program. Different locations seem to have different information about it and whatever you're supposed to be able to do online I couldn't find.. but I think I succeeded at the Fremont location and getting my phone number entered while I was in the store. Anyway, go here and have some fun gelato. It's great! read more

Pretty standard but positive gelato experience. The employee was friendly and let us try a few flavors before choosing. There are tables and seating inside read more

The pistachio flavor was rich, creamy, and delicious. The chocolate fondente was also creamy and delicious. It tasted kind of like a chocolate mousse, however it was a bit too sweet for me. A couple other flavors we sampled (Mexican vanilla bean and coconut) were a little icy in texture. They have a few tables inside and outside of the store. read more

We were down the street for a show recently and stopped in. It was what you would expect from a gelato shop. Try the exciting flavors and see what works best, then order up. The staff person was friendly and helped us choose our flavors. It's a quaint little shop with a few seats, so if you are a group or it's busy, don't plan to stay. read more

A simple creamy gelato dessert as me and my partner trek the Seattle streets for some fun and wonder! We ended up encountering this lovely establishment after visiting the underground troll statue. Does anyone have the story for why Seattle has dedicated a random troll statue under a bridge? Or is it some natural moment that the city pined as a tourist spot? Lol. Either way, it was great to get some dessert and especially at the Fainting Goat! Such a unique name for a quaint gelato shop and the flavors are quite unique and delicious! We ended up getting two fruity flavors--mine being lemon and my partners being some kind of red berry. Both were so good! The lady that had helped us was nice and provided plenty of samples for us to try. A lovely way to sweeten our day in 60s/70s weather which I wish CA had during the summer, lol. read more

Hanging out with my daughter for post dinner dessert in Fremont. The fainting goat is always a good spot. Fresh and flavorful gelato. I had a peanut + chocolate craving so I mixed them. Very foot as always. A UW student was working and she did a great job welcoming us and letting us try multiple flavors until we got the right one. read more

Hey cutie pie Fainting Goat, your shop in Fremont is tiny but mighty. We stopped after dinner and the line was long but the server was on point. She was friendly and patient despite folks asking for a variety of things. When it was our turn she gave us her full attention and didn't skip a beat. We had smalls in waffle cones, tiramisu and chocolate. The chocolate was stellar while the tiramisu was surprisingly less flavorful than expected. The cone was the stuff of dreams, they do it right. Prices are moderate but not over the top and portions are good. Again props to the sole server keeping it together on a busy Thursday night, she is a rock star. read more

Great place by the bus stop. They have great variety of flavors and had about 5 flavor of sorbet (vegan/dairy free) for the scoops. The service was great and the place has great music. read more

Small seating area, best to get and munch while walking the area but can get pretty cold. They allow sampling which is really nice to help you determine preferences. Baby scoop is one flavor, small is two and medium is 3 flavors. I got a small with Rose and Rice. Rose 5/5 Was smooth and slightly sweet, not too floral. Reminded me almost of Lychee Rose. Would come back just to get a scoop of this Rice Pudding 3/5 Had a slight cooked rice flavor including some rice for added texture. The rice was pretty hard so wouldn't say I loved the texture but it's a fun flavor. There were other flavors that seemed interesting too, I'd be willing to come back and try something new. read more

My wife and I absolutely loved The Fainting goat! The gelato was incredible! The customer service was also great! The vibe is very causal and relaxed, which I also appreciated. The space is a little tight for sitting inside, and it can get busy at times. I had the lava cake with a pecan flavored ice cream and it was incredible! My wife had a two scoop cup and it was also very good. This was really great gelato and so glad we tried The Fainting Goat. I so wish they had a West Seattle location closer to us, but we will be back! I highly recommend The Fainting Goat! read more

The staff person was so nice and helpful. I do wish the gelato tasted more like gelato (since we were just in Italy last spring and was comparing a bit). We got the pistachio gelato and the mango sorbet. Both were the best options of what we sampled. The seating is odd so I'm guessing when it's busy people stand outside with it since not that many people can fit inside. read more

Came with two friends. A welcoming but small place in Fremont. Nicely decorated, with two small sitting areas. Easily becomes cramped, with more than three customers. The staff provides great customer service. So, if you are behind any group asking a lot of questions or requesting numerous samples, you will have to wait. Ordered a Lemon Grisbi Gelato, a pistachio and tiramisu gelato and a coffee gelato milkshake. . The lemon gelato was very good, tart and creamy mixed in with each bite. The pistachio gelato was very good. The tiramisu gelato was disappointing. It mostly tasted of a weak coffee flavor. Equally disappointing was my coffee gelato milkshake. The coffee ice cream did have bits of coffee bean mixed with the ice cream. But I wanted a much more full bodied coffee flavor in my milkshake. The coffee taste was a sad afterthought to the milkshake. A very slight flavor, where I was expecting bold. All of our ice creams also melted to mush almost immediately after sitting down. It was thin soup in two minutes. Love the concept and array of flavors. Unfortunately, we wanted to enjoy our gelato for at least five minutes before it became liquid soup. read more

This Fainting Goat location is in Fremont. There is one more in Wallingford. We have walked by many times, and we finally decided to try it (after we had long walks to earn the calories). This location is skinny and narrow. The few tables were occupied. Since we were the only customers ordering, we took our time choosing our flavors. The staff was very patient giving us samples. While hubby quickly chose his two, I had a more difficult time choosing my second flavor. Several samples were just too sweet. In any case, still no line behind me, so I asked for a couple more and suddenly found my second. Woot! Anyway, hubby chose chocolate and blueberry & pomegranate, while I chose chocolate and pistachio. The chocolate is FANTASTIC if you are a dark chocolate person. So good! But I knew I needed another flavor to go with it. The pistachio was the perfect complement. I probably would not drive there just to eat their gelato. But if I am in the area, I definitely would enjoy these gelato treats! read more

I tasted three flavors here and they were all delicious! Went home with the Pistachio and the Lemon Grisbi. The lemon grisby was more creamy and had what I think was little chunks of candied lemon in it. It had so much flavor it overpowered my pistachio but I'm not complaining! This pistachio was very clean and so delicious. If I had this flavor alone I would have been able to slowly savor it but with the ball sprinkles and those lemon chunks I went into a feeding fuge state and totally gobbled it down. The texture was less gummy than some other gelatos I've had. The serving given was generous which I do appreciate! Wow, I definitely want to come back and try more flavors. Thanks for being so helpful and patient with my while I was choosing my flavors. read more

A lovely gelato shop nestled into the heart of Fremont -- they serve up so many delicious flavors and give you fairly large portions! I've seen a handful more locations sprinkled throughout the city, but would recommend any of them. The staff here is so friendly and patient with any questions about food allergies. The chocolate gelato was SO delicious -- so creamy and the flavor wasn't TOO sweet. The banana cream was a bit much for me personally, but I still liked it and it represents some the more unique flavors they serve here. I'll most definitely be back! read more

I sadly wasn't a huge fan. I came here after going to Fremont market. I got the tiramisu flavor after trying 4 samples. It was more coffee hints than anything else which was close to the actual thing. The fruity sorbets were too sour for me even though I prefer fruit sorbets. There a good variety of flavors. I don't think it's made in-house. The sugar cone was not ever tasty either and pretty bland after the ice-cream was done. I paid $8 for the cone and one scoop. read more

At my friend's recommendation, I tried this place and was glad to finally find a solid gelato place in Seattle. How did I not hear of this place or seen this place before, after so many trips taking the 40 bus to Fremont/Ballard? Better late than never haha. A lot of places have something that fell short, but here, from the general flavors to the texture, all checked the boxes. I sampled a few flavors including my usual salted caramel (which was slightly salty but also very flavorful), and decided to choose the small cup with 2 flavors: Nutella and rum raisin. The texture is very smooth, no ice at all, very fresh. I really enjoyed the rum raisin of the two flavors I got, with a nice somewhat smoky rum flavor but not bitter at all. Both of the flavors are a little bit on the sweeter side, so it was definitely a cheat meal. It was about $6 for a small cup (it was not small honestly - it was easily shareable among 2 people), which is decent pricing, maybe on the slightly higher end but quality more than makes up for it. read more
