    Sweet Cream Ice Cream and Vegan Raspberry Chip
    Diana C.

    I think they have gotten better the past few years with having some more unique vegan options. I still wish they had more than 2 dairy free items but I get that it's maybe not that popular. The service is always very friendly. They weren't too busy when we stopped in but we still got ours to go because we like to walk. I love the little dog treat jars and the quirky decor though.

    For the last place I took my bestie to before he had to leave Seattle and drive across the state, we came here on a Thursday night around 7:30pm to have some more dessert after already having milk tea. Yup, you're gonna get full when you're with me! Anyway, there was a line out the door for their ice cream, in which they offer many kinds of flavors of ice cream, some which tempted the two of us. No table seating inside, just a bench or two deeper near the back if you wanted to enjoy your ice cream inside. We tried several kinds when we got to the front, and eventually settled for one scoop of sakura ice cream and another of toasted black sesame. Both ice cream scoops had a smooth consistency to them and were strongly flavored. Sakura had a strong strawberry base, and black sesame already had a strong aroma before the scoop got to my hand at the register. Ice cream surprisingly did not melt too fast despite the day being quite warm so that's a plus. We ate at the wooden tables not too far from the U District light rail station. Great ice cream and an ample number of flavors to try. I'd come back to try more of their rotating flavors!

    Nice ice cream place in the Avenue near University of Washington. It is also close to the train station. It great to get a scoop before boarding the train. The store is about 4.5 stars. I like the choice of the flavors. The flavor s include vegan, Persian rose, London fog, banana Nutella, and more. I like the London fog. This is the one to have. Price is reasonable average. Space probably has 8 people to sit location on the bench.

    It's always such a delight to get a sweet treat from sweet alchemy. They have some of my staple favorites like London fog and capitol coffee but I tried banana Nutella crunch and vegan lemon pie today and both were incredible. It's a small storefront but perfect location on the Ave. the pico size is a great treat size but it is quite a small scoop for the price. The next size up is usually a better deal.

    It was a sunnier and warmer day than expected on my visit to Seattle and as I walked by this shop, I thought "Yes, I could use some ice cream." Staff was welcoming and gave us some samples of flavors. Also got an espresso for a pick me up. Good flavors!

    Flavorful and unique ice cream flavors! My favorite was the banana Nutella! Loved the small cup option. Friendly staff.

    I went to Sweet Alchemy on a Sunday evening. I walked over to the store so I didn't have to worry about parking. There was a short line when we arrived, but the wait wasn't too long. The employees were very friendly & kindly let us try samples of the various options. I appreciate the unique & delicious flavors offered! After a difficult decision, I opted for a small cup of the darkside & the banana nutella crunch. This is my second visit to Sweet Alchemy & I was glad to see that their ice cream was as scrumptious as ever. I look forward to my next visit!

    Definitely pricey and a splurge but is it worth it? Heck yeah! I love ice cream and gelato and I've even had Tillamook ice cream at the creamery in Oregon many times and this ice cream at sweet alchemy is some good ice cream. They do give samples if you have a hard time making up your mind like me lol which is very appreciated. They also allow half scoops! I ordered one scoop in a waffle cone and chose half scoop dark side(yummy chocolate) and half scoop Persian rose. So tasty. Dark side is everything I want in a chocolate ice cream, thick, dark chocolate, and oh so good. Persian rose is light in flavor but so tasty with hints of obvious rose and pistachio. Honestly dark side and Persian rose were the perfect combo. ....Yes, as you can see in my photo I am the person who bites into their ice cream lol mind ya business and don't judge...just a girl enjoying her ice cream :) I've walked by sweet alchemy so many times and it always has a line out the door, so I am sooo happy to have given it a try finally. Small interior so it's easier to sit out front at the nearby outdoor benches. Since it's pricey I won't visit often but it's definitely a place I could see myself stopping by on a hot summer day. I would recommend the dark side and Persian rose! So yummy!

    One of the best ambiance ice cream shops I've been to! The place is well decorated and organized. I really liked the theme of the shop. There's not much seating here unfortunately The ice cream was good! I had their limited edition Makgeoli and it was sooo good. Sweet, tasty, and refreshing on a warm day. I had mine with brownies and chocolate syrup with it was it was pretty enjoyable. Service was great. Employees are very nice and helpful and they prepare the ice cream quickly. The pricing here is more on the expensive side though. That's the biggest con for me.

    We were looking for a sweet treat nearby and stumbled on this place at the street corner. The inside is pretty small but has so many cute decorations and some unique flavors. Strawberry - I wanted something fruity and this tasted very fresh and was so creamy. The strawberry flavor came through and I enjoyed it despite the steeper price. We heard the staff explaining that they get their milk from a local farm and we wondered if that was what made a difference in the ice cream texture as well. I would come back to try some of their other flavors.

    Ice cream craving but non dairy options! I finished while walking the area and it's delish! Homemade from my understanding. Cute little shop. Service was great.

    Visited this adorable ice cream shop today, they had delicious unique flavors! Quick and friendly service with no wait :) They also have teas and coffees and cupcakes. I loved how you could get multiple flavors in their smallest sized cup.

    How many vegan (#vegan, #plantbased) flavors are usually on-hand?

    Only 1 or 2! It's almost always a non-dairy, coconut based ice cream.

Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

If you are able to get a seat I think it's a great place to get your work done as the cafe has a very relaxed environment.
