I was surprised not to find a line out the door like I've seen with most icecream places in Seattle. The chocolate pudding and salted caramel icecream were so good! The one scoop is a great size for an after dinner treat. They had board games as well, but I just came for the icecream. The guy working there was super helpful and looked up ingredients because of an allergy.

ok, new creamery favorite on capital hill. i'm mostly embarrassed that i've walked past this place for years and never really realized it was even here! so you go into the building entrance in the middle to get down into this basement windowed space. it's super charming. as in the painted and decorated like it's a cross between a college dorm, grandma's garage and a vintage record shop. LOVE! there are creepy old storage freezers everywhere but what they contain in small creamery magic. don't judge! this place is top notch and super chill. they are not snotty like most portland high end food places... well, any portland food place typically ;) an ipad on a vintage register, old glass case cooler, multiple stages of someone's master plan to paint any given wall in the place, hand made bottle lights. this place is charm without actually caring if you like it. please give them a shot, they're legit and have been doing this for longer than i even knew! new fav.

Salted caramel ice cream is quite salty and puzzlingly complex for how light it first seems -- a wonderful achievement. Both the PB and chocolate chunk are deeply flavorful without the common mistake of overloading on the featured ingredients. These flavors remember that they are still ice cream, after all. Lovingly crafted. The sparse, funky/junky atmosphere disguises some real sophistication behind the counter, so that you feel like you've stumbled onto an undiscovered gem.
