The best gelato in the entire PacNW and we have tried a lot of places! While we have not had a bad flavor, the lemon was my favorite. A year ago, they also hosted a tour with the nearby elementary school which was an amazing thing to do. They really support the community read more

Always great service and the gelato is top notch! I'm also impressed with how they continue to expand their menu and innovate on desserts. Their latest creations include a granita machine, lava cake sundae, tiramisu and macarons. My favorite seasonal flavor is lemon cookie. It's literally the best and I haven't found another flavor that comes close. The lemon is creamy without being too sweet and there are little bits of lemon cookie that is a surprise in every bite. Delicious! read more

Place was quaint and cute. The service was great--the server was super friendly and kind. She didn't rush us as we tried the flavors and even assured us to not feel pressured to get anything if we didn't like any of the flavors. I wished they had more flavors (most of them were just okay) but I enjoyed the nutty squirrel (pb ice cream with chocolate chunks). Overall, decent place for a sweet treat, but nothing special so I don't think I would go back. read more

Good service, very rich gelato. The restroom is a problem, with a tortuously difficult code- in-doorknob combo. Extremely pleasant staff, much appreciated warmth and efficiency. No cash accepted. read more

Decided to try Nutty Squirrel Gelato. They have two other locations in town (Phinney Ridge and Woodinville). Their Magnolia location is next door to Mondello Italian. We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (3:45pm). Most people were grabbing ice cream to go. We sampled a couple of flavours before deciding. They had a dozen flavours (10 gelato and two sorbetto). Scoops are $4.75 USD (kids), $6.25 USD (small) or $7.95 USD (medium). - Small ($6.25 USD) - mojito and northwest forest berries. Scoops are on the small side, but both flavours were bright with good texture. Sadly, both melted quickly even though we ate inside. Good gelato but small, pricey scoops. 3.5 stars. read more

I don't know how this place has so many great reviews. Their gelato tastes like ice cream that's been frozen, waffle cones are soft and chewy. Also, 75 cents for two cherry's? read more

Awesome gelato, with fun and classic flavours (such as amaretto, pistachio, chocolate, but also açai, and peanut butter+caramel+chocolate chip). The serving size was tasty and reasonably sized. The staff was super friendly and let us try the flavours we were interested in. The space is cozy and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell pints to-go and baked desserts. read more

We happen to cross this lovely spot when we were looking for ice cream on a random Saturday over in the area. It's located a few miles from the Ballard locks, so it was perfect to go from there and grab something sweet! This is a cute little gelato shop with a really nice outdoor seating area and a few tables inside. They had a dozen or so different options for gelato that definitely let everyone find what they liked. All of the kids were ecstatic that they got to pick a cone with plenty of accoutrements attached. A crowd favorite was the waffle cone that was dipped in chocolate and then covered in marshmallows. It was basically like getting ice cream with a s'mores attached to it! My better half and I split a chocolate lava cake with gelato on top... You need to get this. A lava cake with Nutty Squirrel gelato On top was one of the best things I've ever tasted! The cake was warm, the gelato cool and the feelings of love and affection that accompanied the dessert were simply spectacular! They definitely aren't giving away the gelato, but for the quality of the product and the quality of the service, it was definitely worth it. The next time we're over in the area, we will definitely be coming back! read more

Great gelato place in magnolia. Delicious and creamy flavors. I had the turmeric flavor "Golden Milk" which was so unique, spicy and creamy! The chocolate is also delicious. Good portions and they let you try flavor samples read more

Pretty darn good gelato! If you ever in the Magnolia neighborhood, this little spot is a good spot to stop by to get your gelato fix. It's in the main square area/downtown area of Magnolia, near the park side. We went there a few months back....It's very neighborhood-y to me, small spot, wasn't busy when we came by and friendly greetings as we walked in. They do offer samples if you want to check out a flavor. I was in a coffee type of mood so I decided to get 2 flavors in 1 cup. I got the "white coffee" and "espresso". Both were flavorful with coffee and very refreshing and delicious. We also got "pistachio" and "chocolate", that too was very tasty and yummy! There's a small little area to sit and a ledge to sit at, no one was in there and we had the whole place to ourselves. Menu of flavors all looked pretty good. They have some coffee drinks, some other desserts and I think they serve a small menu of food during the day. Prices seemed fine to me and no issues there. Staff gal that night was friendly and helpful. A few smaller restaurants in this area, good spot for dessert after dinner or whenever you feel like it. read more

Yummy gelato that is still operating during Coronavirus. People are waiting outside at a safe distance and going in one at a time. I got a split scoop of a single with espresso and the salted caramel... a diving combo if I do say so myself. Really creamy. The hubby got the lemon cookie and was a bit disappointed that it wasn't very tart or lemony. It was still good but the lemon was just a little masked. The flavors in the store did not match the ones on their website but there was still plenty to choose from. A little bummed that they charge extra for a sugar cone but I'm pretty cheap. Really nice and helpful employee who was doing great keeping up with the high demand of a sunny day. read more

This place is so so yummy!! We tried a bunch of different flavors before choosing what we wanted. The thing that stood out to me most were that none of the flavors were too sweet. I ended up with the nutty squirrel and chocolate and the husband went with the strawberry and chocolate. The consistency of the gelato was perfect and it was a perfect dessert to end our night! read more

What a gem! Warm friendly service, phenomenal gelato, generous portions, good value. The Roasted Pineapple was fresh and fruity with a delicious hint of burnt sugar caramel. The Nutty Squirrel was peanutty. The Chocolate Fortina (?) was as deep and rich of chocolate I've ever had. Waffle cones were perfectly crispy and well made (no leakage!)

We chose Nutty Squirrel for our wedding because they had my 3 favorite desserts that I wanted for my family & friends - ice cream, chocolate lava cakes and macarons. I couldn't believe my luck that I actually found one vendor that could provide them all! Moreover, Nutty Squirrel excels in all these desserts, not just one. The owners were responsive and super great and accommodating to work with. They had 3 catering options and prices laid out which made it easy for us to pick what we wanted to go forward with. For ice cream we were able to pick 4 flavors - vanilla, coffee, guava sorbet and pistachio. I think the pistachio is my husband's favorite ice cream in all of Seattle! When we went in person to try flavors, upon hearing that Nutty Squirrel was our wedding vendor, the staff gave us two cups of ice cream for free, which was so nice! Our wedding planner also told us that Nutty Squirrel staff were fantastic at our wedding. The venue's microwave shorted out due to how many lava cakes we were microwaving and they were able to deal with it quickly, calmly and efficiently. I can't thank them enough for being able to wow my guests with their desserts! read more

Delicious, fun flavors, friendly service. You can't go wrong! I first tried Nutty Squirrel at Chateau Ste Michelle and I've been hooked ever since. read more

The Gelato is great, shop is cute and very family friendly, across the street from a park. We have had a few fun Friday evening outings here. read more

Oh my gosh, the gelato here is DELICIOUS!!! So many great flavors and rich and creamy in a gelato way. Pistachio and hazelnut are my go tos and they did not disappoint here. Love that there's plenty of seating outside too. Service is nice, though bummer that we weren't able to taste any of the flavors (COVID times, understandable). Guess this just means I need to come back more to try all the other flavors on my list! read more

Spontaneous things seem to happen when the game plan takes another turn. I had planned to check out another Belltown cafe, but instead found myself wandering around Magnolia Village. I noticed a Nutty Squirrel Gelato between Smith/Wheeler and 33rd, by Mondello when I parked my car. I had only previously visited the NSG Greenwood location. Nice sunny day, go ahead twist my arm for some quality gelato. Got the two scoop cup serving of strawberry gelato and sat outside. According to the counter person, this opened last May to serve tasty goodness to the families with children. Smart with proximity to two schools and a ballpark. Evidently, I had been under a rock. Usually I approach from the other side to visit Nikos, Uptown Espresso, and Petit Pierre Bakery. If I didn't compel myself to drive two blocks over, I would have missed this location entirely. I may have missed the local strawberry season, but this gelato's fresh and bright flavor makes up for that seasonal faux pas. Nutty Squirrel Gelato, a year round destination, but extra special with sunny summer weather! read more

We were on a family walk in Magnolia when my son suggested to my grandson son what he thought about getting some ice cream. Well, enough said and we were in our way to the Nutty Squirrel. After waiting in the COVID queue which limited one family group in the shop and a socially distanced line we made our way into to pick out our gelato. I went with a their homemade waffle cone and made my principle scoop their dark chocolate (as I am a big fan of dark!) and wanted to try the pistachio (another fav) as my secondary scoop. The dark chocolate seemed popular with 3 out 4 getting it in my group along with their mixed berry being popular for us too! The dark chocolate is super rich and creamy with the pistachio gelato being flavorful as well. Food 4.5 Excellent dark chocolate, pistachio was good but some fresh pistachios sprinkled on top would have made it 5 Service 3.5. Nothing out of the order counter service, except some good suggestive selling. Good COVID protocols Atmosphere 3.5 Standard and clean Price 4.5 Four double scoop cones of very good to excellent gelato in waffle cones for $20. Sweet! OA - 4.5 read more

We were recommended Nutty Squirrel by fellow coworkers so we decided to check it out. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to try a bunch of flavors (outside of the building). It definitely was really good with more traditional flavors unlike Salt & Straw. There are a whole bunch of non-dairy options which is a plus. Every flavor was good and definitely will need to come back to try the others. read more

Yum!!! I had been hearing about Nutty Squirrel for awhile as they make the booza or dondurma style of ice cream for Turkish and Lebanese restaurants in the area in normal years. Due to covid-19 they have not been making it :( :( :( My friend ordered a vegan hazelnut the other night and it was very good. All I could think about was how much better if would have been if they had made it in the booza/dondurma form! I will buy a year's supply if they will just bring that back! read more

Ummm can you say creamy?!? We tried the pistachio and stracciatella flavors. They were both amazing. Only request is that they add actual pistachios bits to the pistachio ice cream. I feel that would improve the taste and texture. read more

Our whole family adores the Nutty Squirrel. We come here at least once a week...sometimes more. They always have one or two sorbet options that are dairy-free, making it possible to bring my son who has a dairy allergy. The flavors are spectacular. You really can't go wrong with anything you try here. The fruit sorbets POP in your mouth and my personal favorite is their dark chocolate--so rich and dreamy. The decor is adorable and the entire shop just exudes a fun, relaxed energy. read more

The Nutty Squirrel Gelato used to be out of the way for me and I'm happy I'm much closer now. (That could be dangerous during the summer). I really enjoy gelato or sorbet from here because of it's highly-concentrated flavors. Whatever flavor you pick, you'll definitely taste it. The prices are fair and reasonable for what you get. The shop is relatively small in the sense there will be a line out the door if people show up in groups. Good amount of seating inside and there are two small tables outside. Check out their website for current flavor selections by locations. My favorite flavors so far are: Turkish Coffee, Lemon Custard Cookie, and Pear Ginger Sorbetto. read more

Loved all the flavors that we tried! Friendly staff, will definitely be back! Great atmosphere.

Ok this place is soooooooooooooooooooooo good the gelato is outstanding and there waffle cone is great and there are always great people working there!!!!!!! read more

I absolutely love it here! You can tell that this is a well-loved local spot in the neighborhood. Lots of families going in and out of the shop. There are a ton of unique gelato flavors to choose from such as coffee, or my personal favorite, matcha. The portions here are gigantic, even when I got the kid's scoop. On top of that, service was super friendly and made me want to come back again. Definitely a solid dessert spot. You can't go wrong with gelato. read more

Delicious flavors and friendly service. I had the cucumber lime and the lemon custard cookie. Everyone else in my party were also very happy with their choices. read more

The first place my daughter ever had ice cream was at Nutty Squirrel's Phinney Ridge location. We were thrilled when they opened up a store in our neighborhood! The folks behind the counter are always friendly and very understanding and kind about kid-related gelato mishaps. My daughter and now my son love this place, and it's become our weekly quarantine ritual to go on a Monday afternoon. The gelato itself is good, too My daughter swears by the chocolate but I like the flavors such as tea, rose, or lemon cookie that you don't always find elsewhere. read more
