    raspberry gelato
    Nami A.

    Such yummy gelato and such friendly people working there! I did not get to experience their crepes as they were still perfecting their recipe (I visited in June), but their raspberry gelato was so refreshing and a perfect balance of sweet and sour. The place itself feels a bit cozy and cramped, but there is outdoor seating surrounded by greenery, and it was just so pleasant to sit outside, eat some gelato, and enjoy the sun.

    Pistachio & salted graham

    The flavors here are delicious! They also have a few tables to sit at outside which is always nice on a pleasant day. I came on a Monday evening and there were quite a few people - we had to wait a bit to be helped since there was only 1 person working. They were nice to give samples of the gelato, and I tried a few. I knew this place was known for pistachio and theirs is great - really rich, nutty, and flavorful. I also got the salted graham which was the perfect graham cracker flavor! Portions are a little small for the price, but I do think the quality is there.

    Cute interior

    They're not lying when they say they have the best pistachio gelato in seattle! Tasted so fresh and nutty! The workers were also extremely patient and let us try each flavor which i really appreciated. We tried the pistachio, dulce de leche, and white chocolate. All 10/10!! Give this place a try, its worth it!!

    Sabrina P.

    I've lived in Fremont for 3 years, and most of that time has been spent waiting for this place to open. Boy was it with the wait! Although the hours don't seem to match what is entered into Yelp, a good bet is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. The owner allowed me to try several flavors and even recommended a few- all were delicious. They allow for split scoops, and the chocolate caramel pretzel and amarena cherry worked together beautifully- perfect textures and taste. The outdoor seating is cute and allows for canine companions, and the location is right across from a bus stop (along with being walkable from anywhere in Fremont). I'll definitely be back for their ever-evolving flavors.

    TL;DR: A new gelato shop + cafe in upper Fremont that was years in the making (since 2018; opened up in 2025). The owner--Chris--is a master of gelato who creates unique flavors sometimes with hyperlocal ingredients. Chris is super generous, allowing you to sample all the gelatos and sharing the backstory for each. Definitely prioritize Marmalade as a must-go gelato shop in Seattle. If you're in the Fremont or Wallingford area, you must stop by. Chris is the owner. He's been working on this concept since 2018, and it's finally open in 2025! The wait was well worth it. The shop offers 6-8 different unique flavors of gelato that are hand crafted. One gelato used tea from the famous steam punk tea shop in downtown (Fremont). We had the vanilla and the rose cardamom: both had complex flavors that aren't easily found at other shops that use cheaper ingredients. We tried other flavors as well... all were common in that they had complex flavors that highlighted the quality of ingredients and preparation. Chris has an impeccable palette that results in complex flavors that he will encourage you to sample. During the sampling, he will tell you the backstory of each flavor and the flavor notes you should expect--amazing! The servings are more than generous, and the price point is very reasonable at $6-$8. The interior of the shop is cozy. There is some indoor seating; there will be outdoor seating for when the weather is a bit better. There's a large patio up front that you can also stand around, or make your way to BF Day park. Eventually, Chris mentioned there will be soups and crepes as well. If they're anything like the gelato, it'll be well worth your time.

    Lovely location with twinkly lights hung outside of their tree over the patio. What a cute gelato shop. Reminds me of italian gelato, but not as creamy (I've been spoiled from my recent Italy trip!). But it's good enough for Seattle. Chocolate was my fav. Salted Graham was okay, but not mind blowing. They do let you taste before you select your flavor, so that was nice. Server was helpful and attentive to suggest first timers what flavors to try.

    Jaipur Chai 1 scoop (rating: 5/5)
    Lydia L.

    We came here after dinner at Lupo Pizzeria across the street. Even though it was almost 9 pm, there was a long line at the storefront. Wait was short despite the long line. The staff was very helpful and walked us through their most popular flavors, including the famous signature pistachio flavor. I asked for his personal recommendation then sampled Jaipur Chai and pistachio flavors based on that. Both were amazing. The Jaipur chai was stronger than most chai tea beverages I have had, and the pistachio flavor was so nutty that it tasted like pure ground-up pistachio. I ended up going with Jaipur Chai bc the aroma was hard to leave behind. Absolutely loved it and will be back for more creative high quality flavors! Oh, and they have vegan flavors as well!

    Watermelon cucumber mint sorbet (small cup)
    Diana C.

    This is such a cute but hidden little gem! The decor is very whimsical and fun. The server was very kind and greeted me. They offered information about the gelato and some samples and chatted with me. The gelato itself was all delicious. It seems like they always have 3 or so options that are dairy free and several of the flavors rotate. The watermelon cucumber mint sorbet was super refreshing and tasty and the cup and spoon were both compostable! Highly recommend and will be back!

    Good place to get gelato in Fremont. Cute cozy spot with outdoor seating. They have crepes on their menu that will be selling soon, I'd come back.

They were both extremely fluffy and flavorful. The savory one had a nice chipotle sauce in addition to hollandaise. The strawberry one was not too sweet and moist. You order at the counter and pick up your food here. The soufflé pancakes took awhile (30 mins?) to come out, but it was worth it. We came on a weekend as soon as it opened, but there was already a line. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and the food - one of the few places to get soufflé pancakes in Seattle!

Soft and ripe and delicious. The cheesecake bites were not as flavorful as I would have liked, along with the vanilla ice cream, but I have a crazy sweet tooth so I recommend this one for those who like milder desserts that are not too sweet. The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!

We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.
