"If there were ice cream shops as good as Sweet Alchemy near every college campus, nobody would graduate. This University District spot has flavors like makgeolli, banana Nutella, and Persian rose, and every mix-in—like chocolate sandwich cookies and brownies—is completely homemade. Our favorite is the Jitter Bars, which is overloaded with caramel and homemade espresso shortbread (something we could have used a whole lot more of in college)." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Based on how good the ice cream is at Sweet Alchemy, we wouldn’t be surprised if more University of Washington students decided to never graduate and leave. They have some flavors you won’t see everywhere else, like makgeolli (Korean rice wine) and Persian rose, plus others with housemade cakes and cookie dough mixed in. Our favorite is the Jitter Bars, which is folded with caramel and espresso shortbread." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"At Off Alley this summer, the “Seattle Freeze” takes on new meaning. Stop by between 3-5pm, knock on their door, make eye contact with the person who answers (to break some of that icy Seattle attitude), and order a few decadent little scoops. Flavors include things like foie gras and pistachio black sesame—all of which you can eat on their patio." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, kayla sager riley, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
