Tip Top: an Ice Cream Shop

The Best Ice Cream in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Tucked away in the Highland Park Corner Store is an unexpected piece of complex and coveted machinery: the Little Jem, used across New Zealand (and increasingly Seattle) to blend chunks of fresh, frozen fruit into soft serve to order. The result is startlingly bright and refreshing, with in-season flavors like early summer cherry and strawberry shining with particular brilliance. A couple of small vinyl booths in the corner and a counter along the window provide a good amount of seating, but on peak days the small space can feel a bit claustrophobic; take advantage of the nearby West Duwamish Greenbelt, and bring plenty of napkins." - Sophie Grossman
