Small ice cream shop that is filled with love and great service. From the moment you walk in, to the moment you walk out: you feel the dedication and the love the people behind the counter have put into this place. The ice cream menu has every day flavors as well as seasonal flavors like the pineapple key lime and the 10 year best year ice creams. The ice cream is creamy. No lumps or ice bits. They have pints to go as well. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Frankie & Jo's - Capitol Hill - 10 year best year - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My favorite Vegan ice cream place in Capitol Hill. Hands down. Salty Caramel Ash. That's my favorite flavor. I took a couple of my friends here on Monday after having dinner and they all LOVED it. They have this beet flavor that they enjoyed. Found out that they have a couple more locations in Ballard and U-Village. I never knew that. I'll be visiting the U-Village location very soon since I work at UW. The lady working there was awesome! She gave us a few samples and was very friendly and talkative. She made the experience so much better given we were the only ones there for a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is quite small but comfortable to sit for a bit and enjoy their ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since I am lactose intolerant, this place is PERFECT for me. I would sample the other flavors next time. But I stick to one so I will keep getting my fave. Please don't get rid of that flavor. read more

Tried Frankie & Jo's recently it was a pleasant surprise. We got the Berries & Fermented Cream and Caramel & Coconut Yogurt. The berries one was super fresh and slightly tangy, almost like a mix between ice cream and a really good frozen yogurt, but creamier. The caramel & coconut yogurt was my favorite though. It had this rich, smooth coconut base with a subtle caramel swirl that wasn't too heavy or sugary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is chill and the staff were patient while we tried and decided on the flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is on the pricier side for ice cream, but for the quality and ingredients, it feels worth it. We did have about a 15-20 minute wait on a Friday night before it was our turn, so just something to keep in mind if you're going during peak time. read more

Staff were a good vibe and the flavor selection was nice. Got the trio and did strawberry cookies and cream, strawberry beet, and passionfruit. All were pretty good and refreshing. Pricing was a little expensive for what we got. read more

Nice ice cream establishment. Didn't realize it was a vegan and gluten-free shop, which was a nice surprise and great for people with allergies or intolerances. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were kind and the space was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The ice cream is super light and doesn't have that same heaviness or creaminess like regular ice cream has. I don't know if I like the ice cream enough to come back but have it in my back pocket in case I'm with someone that has food intolerances. read more

I stumbled onto this place while exploring the city and saw the crowd so I was I intrigued. Everything is dairy free so that's a plus. I tried the salted pistachio but it tasted more like almond than anything. The pineapple sangria was meh. The mint chocolate however put a smile on my face and I instantly feel in love with it. It's not too sweet, tastes refreshing and tastes really good. Not gonna lie though, this is the priciest ice cream ice ever tried. At $7.40 after tax, for a mini scoop with no cone that I can eat in 3 bites is a bit much. Eat here if you feel like splurging or if money doesn't matter to you. This is a very small place and limited seats so be prepared to eat while walking or standing around. read more

The best ice cream. I can't find ice cream anywhere else where I so crisply taste the individual, quality, unique ingredients in each flavor. Everything is great; anything with chaga or tahini is amazing. You can get warm cookie sundaes here, but many of the flavors include rich chunks of cookies or cake that add a perfect amount of crunch and bite as is. Can't believe everything is vegan. The manager here is so friendly and recognizes me at this point. I love Frankie & Jo's. read more

Great local ice cream shop with unique flavors. I got the vanilla scoop and chocolate school which both were delicious. The vanilla one had a taste of red bean and coconut which brought back memories to my childhood eating Vietnamese ice cream bar. The chocolate had cookie Dough pieces which I loved. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Time and time again Frankie & Joes delivered as some of the BEST ice cream I have ever had. The variety of monthly and seasonal flavors always brings a fun reason to go out for some ice cream. Their plant based ice cream delivers on a divine creamy texture. Many of their flavor profiles are not overly sweet and back big flavor punches. I love that you can get pints to go. Cookies to go. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly. read more

I am pretty sure I tasted every single flavor. They were all so good, it made making my triple choice really difficult. The good news is there are NO bad choices! It's a vegan dream shop. Put California Cabin at the top of your list! read more

This is the BEST ice cream I've had in Seattle.. and maybe anywhere. It is so creamy and flavorful. It didn't even need the waffle cone addition. The employee was so kind suggesting flavors and we got to have lots of samples. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish there was more seating in the restaurant but honestly you're here for the ice cream and not the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please come here, it will not disappoint!! Every flavor I tried was magical and I can't wait to be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing is I wish that the bathrooms were open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The ice cream is amazing--dairy-free and not too sweet. The staff is super friendly, and you can sample different flavors before ordering. I got the mint brownie and loved it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is small but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside is the price. It's the most expensive scoop of ice cream I've ever had--$8.48 for a standard cup with just one flavor, and an extra $1 if you want two flavors. read more

I can't say enough good things about Frankie & Jo's. I love that there's a DF and GF ice cream shop in the area and I love that all of their flavors and their waffle cones (made in house) are incredible. (I don't necessarily love that it's a little far from me, but my wallet appreciates that.) My favorites from their regular menu are the California Cabin and the Salted Pistachio. Every quarter, they have three limited edition flavors, which are also amazing. The staff is friendly and willing to dole out samples upon request too. read more

If you're a fan of interesting flavors, you'll like this one! I am a super fan of places like Salt and Straw so I had a good time here. The coconut base definitely shines through so be wary if you're not a fan of coconut. I really liked the tartness of the rhubarb yuzu though it tasted mostly like yuzu/lemon. My friend really enjoyed the strawberry milk! Service is really friendly, my only complaint is the price! The super mini size was like a sample and the price is a little aggressive for how much ice cream you get. read more

Seattle, Capitol Hill. July 2024. There are several ice cream shops close by on Capitol Hill. They must be supported by students from nearby Seattle U because ice cream seems to be popular in the area. This place serves plant based, vegan ice cream. It is also gluten free, soy free, gum-free, stabilizer-free. That said, you may not even care because the coconut based product is so well made. They have a three scoop flight served over broken waffle cones called a cone smash. I had a red, black, and white trio of Beet Strawberry Rose, Salty Caramel Ash, and California Cabin. The Calofornia Cabin is a vanilla and pine ice cream with black pepper cardamon shortbread cookies - holy smokes it was good! Of all the ice cream choices on Capitol Hill I enjoyed this place the best because of the great tasting creative flavors and friendly servers. I definitely want to come back next time I'm in the city. read more

Favorite ice cream shop in Seattle! They're all vegan and gluten free and have so many unique flavors. Sometimes the coconut flavor can be overwhelming so be sure to try before you commit. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. read more

I don't typically eat sweets that often but when I do I crave something bussin and Frankie & Jo's was indeed bussin If you're looking for good quality ice cream, this is definitely the spot. It's also insane how all their flavors are vegan friendly. Not to mention how welcoming the staff are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place gives lofi vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The one downside is that small ass cup was $8.50 and I demolished that joint in like less than 5 mins but either way shit was worth it. I would recommend this spot to anyone that's craving something sweet read more

Really good ice cream. Quite possibly best on the hill. Def check it out you won't be bummed.

Best ice cream in Seattle. It's all vegan, but it's well-loved by non-vegans as well. The other day I went out to dinner with people who aren't vegan, and one of them was like "I really want to go to frankie & jo's" and I was like "oh you don't have to do that for me bc I'm vegan" and they were like "no I have my heart set on frankie & jo's" So we went! And it was great, as always. Our scooper Gracie was hilarious and I agreed with them on all flavor opinions like, 1. Miso Moon should be a permanent year-round flavor and 2. The cardamom apple seasonal needed more apple flavor. I get a little frustrated that prices are so high these days (adding a split scoop fee grinds my gears) and you can actually sometimes get their pints for less money at Whole Foods around the corner than in the store (but a limited labor selection). Nevertheless, I will continue to go to f&j's forever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is super Instagram-worthy, very California vibes, cute wallpaper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Speaking of CA, my favorite year-round flavor is California Cabin.) My dad loves the cone so much sometimes he just gets it without ice cream. The first time he had it he said it was the best cone he'd ever had, I noted that it was vegan (he is not), and he repeated that it's the best cone he's ever had. read more

The ice cream is incredible and I highly recommend all their flavors and moon goo! Delicious. However, I usually am disappointed by the customer service. The staff definitely act like they're bothered you walk in lol. Biggest qualm is recently, I came on a Wednesday and the hours said it closes at 10 and we got there at 9:10. We walked in and the staff told us they were closed. I'm just bummed that this happens so frequently, and I wish they would've put away the furniture or locked the door because walking in was a false promise! read more

This place has the best vegan ice cream I've ever had! I came here with a group of friends after having a craving for ice cream. At first I was a little bit skeptical when we got here and saw that the ice cream was vegan, but due to the good reviews I saw, we ended up giving this place a try. And boy were we right to do so! I got the Miso ice cream since it seemed unique, and it ended up being super delicious, with a good balance of sweet, creamy, and just a bit of saltiness. Overall, I really liked Frankie and Jos, and I'll definitely be back here to try their other wacky flavors in the future! read more

This was my first time trying vegan ice cream, and I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first--but it was absolutely delicious! We decided to try the ice cream flight, which was a great way to sample a variety of flavors. We shared it among three of us, and each flavor was creamy and packed with flavor. The ice cream even had generous chunks and cone pieces mixed in, making every bite a delightful treat. I'm so glad I gave it a try! read more

On a lovely high 50S and sunny Sunday, I decided to try a new ice cream place. Frankie & Jo's was highly rated, and I was excited to see how good their vegan ice cream is! The shop itself was very cute, and there were a few families in there eating and enjoying their ice cream. The person working was very efficient and friendly, and they quickly took my order. Many Of the flavors sounded great, but I have an affinity for anything with activated charcoal, and I do love a salted caramel flavor, so I opted for that flavor and in a waffle cone. I got a mini scoop and all together the item cost slightly more than $10, which seems typical for Seattle ice cream. The ice cream tasted great! It did seem quite coconut forward, but the caramel taste was quite good. The ice cream itself was as creamy as expected and I personally would not have assumed it was vegan. I'll definitely be back to try some other flavors! read more

Delicious vegan ice cream! Really impressed with the taste and texture. The seasonal lemon and salted pistachio were tops!

We went here two weekends ago for ice cream and I had something like salted caramel and charcoal ice cream that I was very surprised at how delicious it was and it was almost like a delicious palette cleanser that I wanted to keep eating, but even more so that it wasn't made out of cow milk it was made out of like pistachios and Coconut milk or something. Customer service is always very friendly but if you do come on a weekend or a very sunny day, there will be a line so just embrace the fact they try to give you the best experience, but there will be a lot of people in line and they might run out so read more

I can go here everyday! This is my dream place. They have curated a beautiful menu of seasonal vegan handmade ice creams the flavors you get here, you can't get them anywhere. Everything is so unique and original about this place. And the taste here is so goooood. Best part, because one of my friend was sugar conscious they also had super mini cups. I love their salted caramel ash and dark cocoa. And ofcourse the staff is as sweet as their ice creams. The service is best part of the place. There are very few seats inside but you can always find place on outside benches. read more

As I continue to live in Seattle I find myself taking people who visit to Frankie & Jo's, and I don't think I've ever had a bad reaction while doing so. F&J has locations in Ballard, University Village, and this one in Capitol Hill all serving vegan ice cream. We ordered the seasonal flight ($12) with strawberry milk, salty caramel ash, and their seasonal flavor Mexico morning. The salty caramel ash had big chunks of caramel, the Mexico morning was coffee-forward, and the strawberry milk was my favorite. On top of that, I really liked the waffle cone shatter on the bottom which added a nice texture to the flight. It's nice to be able to sample the flavors before committing to them. You really won't be able to tell that it's vegan because of how creamy it is, and you probably won't care because of how delicious it is. My friends who are vegan said it's "hands down the best vegan ice cream" and one of them "dreams about this place" (his words). read more

Food: 3.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4/5 This vegan ice cream spot has minimal seating inside / outside, but it seems like most folks stroll around after getting their ice cream. After getting to taste one flavor, we ordered the 3 scoop ice cream. The portion sizes are not large for the price point. I did feel like there was a bit of an aftertaste that I did not really enjoy with all of the flavors, but it did hit a sweet craving. read more

Vegan, gluten free and delicious! Rare to find ice cream places that have gluten free cones and chunks in the ice cream. We tried the Ash ice cream (caramel flavor)-10/10 and the tahini super cookie-9/10! Def would return read more

My adult daughter has lactose and dairy intolerance. So she was a kids in a candy store! So happy and giddy that she found ice cream she could eat AND it tasted amazing'. The service was impeccable! Whoever was working 3/15 after 6 - thank you for making my daughters not only night but world. To see her smile and laugh. A mother's dream and she is 27! I can wait to ship her some ice cream for her birthday. Thank you read more

Very conflicted with Frankie and Jo's because the ice cream and cone were incredible. The price point...not so much. I visited in July and one of their monthly specials was a Strawberry Celebration Cake. It featured vanilla ice cream blended with strawberry cake and jam featuring local berries. I feared the worst, that this would be ridiculously sweet, but it was hard to pass up fresh and local strawberry jam. I was blown away by the ice cream. It wasn't overly sweet. It had a great balance of sweet, strawberry and vanilla flavors with a nice creamy texture. I opted to have this ice cream on a house made vanilla-maple waffle cone. The cone was pricey but so worth it. It was thicker than most waffle cones I've had. It felt more like an actual waffle and less like a cone. Frankie and Jo's is so good. Some of the best vegan ice cream I've had. Their emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and rotating small batch flavors are a plus. It isn't cheap. Twelve dollars for an ice cream scoop on a special made waffle cone is steep. read more

I'm not vegan but I love this place! I came here almost daily when I was in Seattle for a weeklong conference! Their California + strawberry ice cream flavors are so unique.

One of the better tasting vegan ice cream spots I've been to. I got the Strawberry Milk which was nice. The place is small and quaint. Surprisingly quiet for a Sunday. Parking can be challenging but we lucked out. It was a bit pricey for the small scoop you get. read more

First of all, it is amazing that this establishment isn't afraid of sharing their political opinions. The Anti-ICE poster caught my eye and when we found out that this was an ice cream shop, we were amazed! The servers were so sweet and patient with everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cozy atmosphere and it was a wonderful temperature, considering it being an ice cream parlor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The mango caramel and matcha cookie crumble ice creams were to die for and I would absolutely go here again, to support one of my now favorite small businesses and eat wonderful ice cream. read more

I was decently diagnosed with lactose intolerance and finding desserts or pastries without dairy can be tough. Friends of mine suggested Frankie & Jo's and it did not disappoint! The employee let us taste as many flavors as we liked. They are sure to verify any allergies to nuts beforehand (specifically cashews and almonds). Their well known flavors of Salty Caramel Ash and Brown Sugar Vanilla--psst brown sugar is the flavor of 2025--were spectacular. Although the prices are steep, it was a nice treat that I could enjoy without any worries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is very small with limited seating so best to take and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The cutest vegan ice cream shop. I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed what I've gotten. I recently stopped by and tried the carrot cake and strawberry mylk flavors. Both were delicious but I would definitely order the strawberry mylk flavor again. The staff is lovely and interior is very cute. The only con is prices are on the higher side but ingredients and quality are important! read more

I'd rate this 4.5-, and therefore am rounding down to 4. Seattle is really blessed with a lot of vegan ice cream places -- either completely vegan like Frankie & Jo's, or others like Molly Moon's and Salt & Straw that have vegan options. We came in here after dinner recently, and tried one of their seasonal flavors, potato chip caramel crunch. JUST SO GOOD. Love potato chip flavored ice cream, which apparently is a thing. However, there is one thing both my wife and I think about Frankie & Jo's ice cream (her more than me) -- in all of the flavors we've tried over the years, a prominent note that comes through is coconut. That is, every flavor should be preceded with "coconut," as you can't escape that flavor. F&J's base ice cream is made from coconut milk, which is fine; a lot of places do that. F&J, though, doesn't seem able to mask the coconut flavor, and so it is always apparent, which is not something you want. That is, for the potato chip flavored ice cream, you really don't want/need to taste coconut. This is somewhat of a minor nit, but something to be aware of. The ice cream is still top notch. Also, huge props for F&J's selling a super small size -- "mini." It's greatly appreciated. Their ice cream is rich, and to me at least, less is more. I don't want to eat so much that I'm going to get sick. I want a satiating amount that when I'm done I think "that was good ice cream; I could eat more, but don't need to." Service was good, and vibe is very Capitol Hill. The person behind the counter was super low key and if they didn't live in CH, should. Prices are insanely expensive, but that's Seattle, and further I assume/home that F&J is paying a living wage. We most recently visited in on a cold, windy, rainy June Friday evening, after dinner, and I was surprised by the number of people coming in for ice cream. The space is small. There are a few bar countertop-style places to sit. We've never come when it was hot and sunny, but I could imagine that the place fills up pretty quickly. Overall, I like F&J, and particularly as a vegan appreciate them. If they could rejigger their recipe so that it's not as coconut forward regardless of flavor, it would be best of the best. But as it is, a solid 89% for sure. read more
