Elevated Ice Cream Co

The only thing Elevated about this place are the prices. Seriously - two one-scoop cones cost me $12. It was insanely ridiculous - they weigh the ice cream, so you have no idea the cost when you order. The Ice Cream itself is ok, but you would be better off eating your favorite pint from a grocery store. Overall, I would not recommend.

My friend brought me a box of chocolates from this location. The chocolate was good but definitely not Sees candy. Some of the fillings are super sweet but they are fresh and yummy. The box is beautiful and I love that they tell you the flavors of each chocolate. Ten out of ten recommend trying the chocolates.

After having lunch across the street went in here for dessert 🍨 and definitely loved it,if you can't cure your Sweet Tooth here then give up lol. I had a Chocolate Shake and it was really good, I couldn't finish it because I didn't realize it was that big. This is the kind of ice cream shop that you think about when someone says "A Great Ice Cream Parlor" but also add in really good candy 🍬.

I first encountered Elevated Ice Cream's quaint establishment 6 moons prior to my visit today. In that span of fleeting nycthemerons, I've sampled many of their offerings. Did I mention they give free samples yet? The folks at Elevated have been slinging their own on-site creations since 1977. According to their website, they started as a vendor in an old Victorian elevator across the street from their current location within the bustling village of Port Townsend. While they don't have 32 flavors, they do have the classics covered. Familiar tubs of chocolate, strawberry, mint chip, cookies and creme, sit next to a variable assortment of "elevated" things you would never expect to find in a cozy 50s malt shop atmosphere. Curiosities like cardamom, sea foam, and golden milk, to name a few. Never have I had such luscious and silky confections! But they don't stop at ice cream, shakes, and itallian ice! They operate an adjoining fudge-candy shop which is teeming with modern, homemade, and old timey treats from yesteryear. I can not suggest this place further for fear of wearing out my typing thumbs or phone screen. So if you have a hankering for something sinfully spectacular, you should swing by. They even have containers of their small batch ice cream ready to go. Well done elevated. I shall keep on masticating in support.

Love their DAIRY FREE ice creams! 😍❤️ I got the chocolate, coconut, and apple pie flavors. The apple pie had a strong smell of apple pie with an amazing dose of cinnamon too.

Huge selection of great, unique flavors, and great quality. Pay for ice cream by weight. Be ready for a long line, but it’s worth it! The atmosphere is cool, and there is a lot of seating, but the pier outside has benches to sit on and eat, too. The employees were really fun and made it a great experience beyond just the taste of the treats. I highly recommend the cardamom and poppyseed flavors if they are available.

They had the usual flavors such as Chocolate and Strawberry, and they also had new ones such as Peppermint Candy which was their Flavor of the Month for December 2024, Seafoam, Lemon Chiffon, Ginger, Swiss Chocolate Orange and a several others (see my videos as part of this Review) They also had their Sweets and Candy Store next door with all the candies you can imagine!! We already had our share of sweets after our ice cream that we didn’t buy any candy. I still took photos for you to see just how wide of a variety they do have — and they make most of the candies they sell!

One scoop in a waffle cone and one scoop in a bowl was over $12. The size of the scoop is tiny. Last time we were here it was not like this.

Stopped here while in Port Townsend. They sell ice cream by the weight, so you can get as little or as much as you want. Lots of interesting flavors. I was a fan of the ginger and maple walnut. Cute story of how they started this ice cream shop!

We stopped here during our walk around Port Townsend. This is really two stores. On the left is an ice cream store which we did not try. On the right is a candy store which has fresh fudge, numerous candies in jars, packaged candies, and homemade chocolate and peanut brittle. The wife got some truffle chocolates, the kid got some kind of artificial flavors candy in a plastic package, and I got homemade peanut brittle, which I have not had for years. It was delicious: crunchy (of course), very buttery, with lots of peanuts. I loved it. Service was friendly and helpful. The store is small but well laid out and easy to maneuver. I would visit here again.

Not much to say other than the fact that their ice cream was excellent. Service and ambiance were okay but not super memorable or anything but their ice cream was on point. They also sell ice cream to go and they operate a candy store right next door.

Haven't been to Elevated in years and was super excited for a return visit. It was great back then, but it's gotten EVEN BETTER since. Their ice creams are unique, creamy, and so delicious. The Amaretto Hazelnut was incredible - the hit both the flavors perfectly, and the combination worked so well together. They also have a chocolate selection, which is perfect to take home with you. Plenty of indoor seating. Best place to get your ice cream fix.

Great flavors and other options. Tasted great. However, the ice cream & Italian ices portions were a bit small. The root beer float was delicious & worth it. Super view in the back.

Recommended by our ferry guy as we arrived too early for our ferry. All the way down the main street. That's probably why we never saw and tried it before. We usually go to Nifty Soda for our ice cream treat while we wait for our ferry. There was a line when we got there. Half of our group was more interested in getting candy from the candy shop. I saw one guy making the waffle cones right there, so that was an extra star for me. They had a lot of options, and their ice cream is homemade. Also, they had what I thought was a sobert option, but it was Italian ice cream. Today, it was espresso ice cream with one of their waffle cones for me. There is nothing special in regards to the ice cream itself for me personally to set it a part from the ones I had before, but it's nice to try something new in Port Townsend. Maybe next time, I will have to try one of their Italian ice cream.

The Per usual we're on point doesn't matter what you get you're gonna love it even if it's something you've never heard of before go ahead and try it you're gonna love it Unless you hate it of course and that's okay too because there's plenty to choose from so they'll have something that you like for sure and then while you're walking around with your ice cream cone you can Google and gago with all of the old school candies that they have about I ended app with a $15 left in my pocket than I planned on because I found some old school candies I haven't seen it a long time so how some fun And maybe go away with a bag of goodies

We walked past this place multiple times before we stopped here after dinner. It was also recommended by another local shop owner. She said to get their cotton candy flavor. That's not my cup of tea but I do love me some ice cream. I didn't see any out there flavors but they have plenty of the standards. I ended up with a small scoop of strawberry on a sugar cone. I think you can also get a regular cake cone and of course, the cup. They have a small patio in the back, where w went to enjoy our ice cream, since we had our pup with us. It overlooks the water so it was cool and breezy in the early evening. Solid ice cream and three small scoops set us back about 10 bucks so a great place for a sweet treat.

I really enjoy stopping by this shop whenever we're in Port Townsend. The ice cream is tasty...portions can feel a little small for the price, but that honestly feels secondary when you take in the charm of the area and the atmosphere of the shop. What keeps us coming back isn't just the ice cream, though...it's the people. There's one employee in particular, Caleb, who consistently makes our visits stand out. He's friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about making each interaction a good one. Even when the shop is busy, he goes above and beyond to make sure we leave with a smile. My family always looks for him when we stop in, because his presence makes the experience memorable every time. To be fair, we've had the occasional interaction with other staff who came across a little distracted or less engaged. It's never ruined the visit, but it does make Caleb's effort and warmth stand out that much more. Overall, we always leave happy, and this shop has become one of our regular stops thanks to the great atmosphere, tasty treats, and overall good service. (And the chance to stroll by the water afterwards doesn't hurt either.)

Excellent homemade flavors of ice cream and assorted candies with a wonderful atmosphere and great service make up this little gem of Port Townsend. With flavors that tease the tastebuds and excellent service, I would definitely recommend this place. A great place to visit.

A really great selection of fantastic ice cream. The cardamom ice cream is a must! Super friendly staff offering samples and helping with the very hard decision of what to get! They also offer some great non-dairy options as well. Ice cream is sold by weight, waffle cones made fresh and super cheap, and they also offer a variety of milkshakes, floats, cream sodas, sundaes, etc. After trying a number of flavors I was sold on the coffee oreo ice cream topped with a scoop of the cardamom.. dreamy. This is on the main strip, so a great place to stop in to grab ice cream as you explore town or enjoy the waterfront. Don't skip Elevated, cheers!

We came on a weekend to walk around Port Townsend. My husband had heard great things about this little shop, so it had been on my list for quite some time. The ice cream was good! A fun selection of flavors. But the service was not. We were the only ones in the shop at the time. 4 of us total. Two teen girls were working and gave off the vibe that we were not wanted. Didn't greet us. Didn't ask if they could help us. Just stood behind the counter and stared at us. We got our order and left as quickly as we could. My maple ice cream was great! Everyone in our group liked that they got. The fruit flavors a sorbets were a hit! The prices were a little high, but not terrible. Next time we are in town we will give them another shot... hoping for a warmer welcome when we do.

Ice cream is excellent. I recommend getting a cone. They have lots of great flavors. I ordered a banana split, which I allow myself once a year each August. I do not recommend that item. The bowl was so small that the 3 scoops overflowed the bowl (truly way too small for anything but golf ball size scoops). The addition of sauces was tiny since anything more would have streamed off the sides (sauces were very good, though). The banana was nice, but no whipped cream. I started to ask about it since I assume she just forgot. I let it go. So, treat yourself to a scoop or two of this delicious ice cream on a cone or dish.

This is a must-stop on walkabouts in Port Townsend. The candy and fudge section is large. The ice cream is delish! We have tried the chocolate, lemon, and vanilla with toffee pieces. We will be back!

Used to be run out of the cool old elevator across the street, thus the name, they have a blurb about how now it's elevated because of the quality of the ice cream haha. Got a raspberry italian ice and its served in a little cup with a wood spoon. The ambiance inside is very old timey and full of local history and all sorts of seemingly disjointed brand themes. They have seats in the front, the back, and a patio out back. You can walk all the way through the ice cream shop from one street to the other side. This was a cute stop, but I didn't find the ice cream to be super elevated haha, it was very standard. The Italian ice was similar to a sorbet, you might experience more elevation with one of their dairy based options. Worth a visit to see this cool piece of retro/local history.

good ice cream filling the 85 character gap i really dont want to make a big thing about it the ice cream is good

Surprisingly tasty ice cream! Didnt' expect it. I bought a pint and a cookie. Would go back here again.

Positively overwhelmed with all the candy and confectionery options available here, and that's without even addressing the attached ice cream parlor! All the favorites of today and yesteryear are here, even oddities like astronaut ice cream! If you're in need of a sugar rush or a sweet souvenir, elevate yourself, and look nowhere else in PT!

Super cute ice cream shop in the historical downtown of Port Townsend. On a recent trip, we decided to stop in for an after-dinner treat. We both got little sundaes and they were delish! The girl behind the counter was very pleasant & got our order out to us quickly. The ice cream was smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. I also loved that the nuts were under the whipped cream, it made the sundae super delicious. I would've taken pics, but we were too busy eating. Definitely will return the next time we're in town.

Candy Shop: Been here a few times over the years. I don't think we've ever had a bad customer service experience. There's a fun selection of treats. The Fill Your Own Bag corner has a bucket for clean scoops and one for the used scoops. Each of our 3 kids got their own bag filled with their choices of jelly bean flavors from the dispenser and they liked that. Those bags lasted at least a couple of weeks. Ice Cream Shop: I think we've usually skipped this section of the business because they are always super busy. We were in town though for a birthday adventure and we wanted to treat our kids so we stopped in. It was packed and we had a bit of anxiety because we have two under 12 and aren't able to get vaccinated, but we waited in line, distancing as much as we could. When we got to the front, we had to wait a bit, but then we got checked on multiple times to make sure we were taken care of. The staff working that particular day were amazing and had fantastic customer service. We are a family of FIVE! I don't think I saw anyone in the back who would not be considered "young adults" and they handled the pressure with grace... and I've worked in customer service for over 15 years. I was beyond impressed. I would recommend the lavender flavors and most definitely a Cardamom espresso float!

Delish, and although the line was long the service was quick. Will definitely visit again!

Need an old timey local ice cream shoppe in your life? This is the place for you. We've stopped in during every visit to Port Townsend and love it every time. Their secret is their simplicity. Just a bunch of delicious ice cream flavors and kind, helpful, and patient employees. Oh, and delicious cones, too! This last time, they even made our dog a pup cup. Big hit!

It was freezing in Port Townsend and we needed hot coffee, so we walked clear down the street and finally noticed the sign out front of Elevated Ice Cream that said Espresso. I've stopped in this place before and there is almost always a line, even on a cold windy day people are still getting ice cream, but not us, we needed to warm up. They were really busy and it took them forever to make my Vanilla Latte. The flavor was pretty hard to beat, but the Latte wasn't hot at all, in fact it was without a doubt the coolest hot Latte I've ever been served, should have guessed from an ice cream shop, right? Still, it warmed me up for our walk back to the ferry, but I might look elsewhere next time for my Latte before choosing Elevated Ice Cream.

This place welcomes vegans! The oat milk latte and sorbet and vegan ice creams made me so happy. And the server was really nice.

Great ice cream - pay by the ounce. Best for scoops. The sundaes feel like a bit of an afterthought. Don't miss the candy store next door - same company.

Went in for sundaes this eve after walking around town after what's been a sad and draining few days for us. The gal that made our sundaes forgot the hot fife on both of them. Glad i caught it before we left. Got back to the hotel room only to be even more disappointed to find out the sauce is made with dark chocolate. Not at all what we expected! Wish the menu board had mentioned that the hot sauce was dark chocolate flavor. We've had ice cream here before, but it was our first time ordering sundaes. From now on we will just stick with other ice cream parlor down the street.

GO EAT ICE CREAM HERE!!! So delicious! We were impressed with the selection of flavors (including non dairy Italian ices) and the different flavors! Try the cardamom ice cream!

So so yummy ! Loved supporting local! Nice inside ! And the service was great ! I like the unique flavors !

Great Oreo and caramel ice cream. Great selection of flavors. Next to a sweet shop and just double trouble

The line was too long for ice cream so we went next door to get chocolates and candy instead.

These folks have a large selection of ice cream and a handful of sorbets. They also have a candy store attached that has lots of old-time and new candy, including a large selection of cotton candy flavors, including pickle! The best thing is the good variety of flavors made in-house My favorite is cardamom but coffee is right behind. You can also get a container of your favorite flavor to take home. Yum!

Ice cream is great, Most of the staff was nice but the manager Jasmin was very rude, spoke to me disrespectfully, and made disgusted facial expressions. I honestly felt discriminated. Her service was poor; I live in this area and am afraid Jasmin may be treating tourists in the same manner. Otherwise, ice cream is delicious.

I had to visit Elevated after a wine tasting at a local cidery featured some of their sea salted, ooey gooey truffles. Their chocolates paired exquisitely with ciders and wines. I said to myself, "I need to get me those sea salted, ooey gooey truffles that taste like a super-expensive treat!" Rich, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates with a smooth mouth feel and the explosions of raspberry, combined with the hint of saltiness is just the kind of stuff that makes you run up your credit card bill! The confection store is connected to the Ice Cream store and both sides were pricey, but I do think the ice cream side was pricier than the candy side. I saw a book about a cat named "Spam" who battles zombies on a school bus and immediately wanted it, but the price scared me away (it was on the ice cream side, by the way). Parking is on the street. Feed the meter. Good luck finding parking during peak tourist season. You're welcome.

How fantastic that they were open on New Years Day! Staff is incredibly friendly, they happily give you multiple flavors even in a small cone, and I haven't even begun to rave about the ice cream. So...the diversity of flavors is amazing. Floral herbs, spices, chocolates, fruits, candy, etc. in a most creamy base--fantastic!!! The Cardamom was fantastic as was the cappuccino chip (which I have ordered in just about every ice cream shop I've ever gotten.) The ginger was very good, but since the base wasn't really flavored, I'd suggest another. But bottom line is you can't go wrong with ANY flavor!

Super yummy Italian ice which reminded me more of sorbet than Italian ice so I was pleasantly surprised. I can't have dairy so was happy they had an option I could order. It was a hot day so I got a large bowl with chocolate, loganberry and black current. I couldn't pick a favorite flavor because they were all so yummy! My husband enjoyed his bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream too!

This place gets SO MUCH foot traffic! In such a small tourist town, this ice cream shop is so busy you have to take a number to order a scoop of ice cream. Is their ice cream all that? It's local, made in house, and they're upfront about their ingredients. They do use guar gum and xantham gum if that matters to you. Their chocolate could be more chocolate-y, and visually every flavor is the same shade - pale. That's just a gripe on the visual. The flavor is there, everything just looks like it's the same bland shade . This ice cream shop (and the candy shop attached) is a staple here in town, and a definite must for new visitors and families.

A cute little bakery and froyo shop. Think Menchies inside a small town cafe. Was thrown off as well thought it would be a scoop shop based on the name, but satisfied the sweet tooth just the same. Fresh toppings were limited but since we visited during covid not holding that against them.

Pretty average ice cream but giving it 4 stars because it is a local small business and will please the masses. Got a small dish/cup of orange vanilla ice cream. Texture was more icy than smooth/creamy. Customer service was just fine, surprisingly lots of people on a late Thursday afternoon.

Not only excellent ice cream but also Italian ice! Next door they sell candy and several types of fudge. Candy shop closes earlier than ice cream store.

I stopped by this place for a local homemade ice cream. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I sampled 6 flavors of their Italian ice cream and 5 flavors of regular ice cream, all were amazingly good!!! All Italian ice cream had very nice fruity flavor came from actual fruits, no artificial flavors. I had hard time choosing, so she put 5 flavors in a cup for me. All dairy ice creams had natural healthy taste, all delicious. I picked espresso and strawberry ice cream. ローカルのホームメイドアイスクリームを食べたくて、立ち寄りました。イタリアンアイスクリームは、6種類試食させてもらいましたが、どれも濃いフルーツの味が美味しくて、5種類を少しずつカップに入れてもらいました。アイスクリームの方は、5種類を試食、迷った末、ワッフルコーンにいちごとエスプレッソのダブルスクープを入れてもらいました。

Swiss orange chocolate chip was very good. I normally didn't like orange in my ice cream. But this is an exception. The ice cream was creamy and had right sweetness and right amount orange aromatic.

Went on a brilliant, warm, April Saturday and the place was very busy. However, they worked the line quickly and we didn't wait too long. It would be nice if their ice cream varieties were higher up on the case or listed on the menu board as in line we couldn't read them all before ordering and later saw some flavors we wanted to try. I got an espresso float, a scoop of cardamom ice cream with two espresso shots poured over. Absolutely fantastic! My kids enjoyed their flavors too.

The girl "helping" us never said a word basically. Her demeanor was boredom and disgust. If I hadn't promised my grands an ice cream cone, I would have left. When I thanked her, she shrugged and took a break. The other two boys were essentially the same type of attitude.

WARNING- only order your ice cream in a to go container. I was so disappointed about something that happened today. I've been to this business many times and really enjoy it. They have wonderful ice cream and non dairy options. Today's experience was a 1 star but I have usually had 5 star experiences there so I will give it 3 stars. I was there with family. We ordered 2 smalls and one large. The pricing for the non-dairy in cream is listed on the case. I ordered 3 flavors- usually they cram a little bit of each so I can try them all but it's a little container. They usually come in a little cup shown just above the case. The price was $4.50 to $6 for 3 flavors. The smalls are in the $3 range.All of it is posted. The girl asked if we wanted it for here or to go. They never ask that usually, but we were staying so I said "here". My mom paid for it so I took my child over to check out the candy store while we waited (it's popular and so very crowded and you need to get out of the way so others can see the flavors). When I got back, mom paid and mine was this massive bowl. They weigh the ice cream apparently and they put it on the scale in this huge heavy bowl. She then said, wow that was $25! The receipt showed mine was $13!!!! I went back up to talk to the people and show them their pricing. Nope. Stuck with it. They did offer to compensate for a free scoop next time. This is NOT okay. Their explanation was that "here" containers are double the size of to go containers. No one explains or tells you that. Do NOT order "here" unless you wish to pay double or triple the cost. I am so disappointed and had to review about it because it seems super unethical to post a price and charge more than double and weigh a massively heavy glass container as part of a cost.

The ice cream here was so yummy. I had their lavender - it was well balanced as well as their coffee flavor; coffee flavor was a little light for me but I imagine many people don't drink their coffee black like I do! Their outdoor patio looks right out on the wharf.

Triple citrus & local raspberry - Tart, not sweet. Definitely very delicious and would come back again without a doubt!

We stopped in for ice cream after dinner one evening, and I was thrilled to find that one of my favorite ice cream flavors (orange chocolate chip) was available here! The only place I've ever found it before was down in California. Anyway, the ice cream was creamy and delicious, and the employees were very pleasant and friendly. Plus there was a pretty view from the back patio. I will definitely return!

I got the almond poppyseed ice cream since I've never seen that flavor before. It tasted kind of like a poppyseed pastry in ice cream form. I highly recommend if you like poppyseed things

Seafoam ice cream was sooooo good perfect for a hot day! Location is ideal right near thr picturesque waterfront in the postcard cute downtown historic district
