Nestled in Capitol Hill, Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream whips up a delightful mix of imaginative and classic flavors crafted from hormone-free dairy and locally sourced ingredients, making it a must-visit for sweet cravings in Seattle.
"We all know how your relationship with Molly Moon’s goes. You stroll past and catch the scent of hot waffle cones wafting across the block, something inside of you snaps, and you immediately hang a sharp turn inside and order a triple scoop. Whether or not it was originally your intention to eat some ice cream, we think you made a good decision, because a trip to Molly Moon’s is a Seattle rite of passage. Their flavors focus on local products, like organic Washington peppermint, lavender harvested from the Olympic peninsula, and chocolate spun with melted K'UL bars. Look out for seasonal options that usually taste way better than the mainstays." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Scoop It Up at Molly Moon's Another food-truck-made-good in a permanent location, Molly Moon’s now has five locations around town, but still sends out its iconic baby-blue truck for special events — just follow your nose to the heavenly scent of their freshly made waffle cones. Flavors range from classics like vanilla bean and strawberry to local specialties like Theo Chocolate or Stumptown Coffee (pro tip: get those two swirled together), with more adventurous rotating seasonal flavors (current offerings include blackberry bergamot and watermelon mint sorbet). Locally sourced, organic ingredients are the emphasis here. They also have vegan options and pints to go, as well as plenty of merchandise featuring their goofy-cute pug mascot, Parker Posey."

"This week, Seattle scoop shop Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream posted signage on its Capitol Hill shop window emphasizing that it’s a 'gun free zone,' and calling attention to that fact to police officers. The no-gun policy isn’t new — Molly Moon’s has had it in place for the past seven years — but the mention of police on the sign is a recent development specific to this location. According to owner Molly Moon-Neitzel, the sign was in response to an incident in which a businessman from California came into the Capitol Hill store on Friday and ordered $500 worth of ice cream specifically for local cops who have been patrolling the area, then alerted officers to pick it up at the store. This resulted in a sudden influx of police coming into the shop, which put the staff, who were wary of the presence of so many armed officers, in an uncomfortable position." - Gabe Guarente
