The ice cream (Rocky Road) was fine, but my cake cone was stale. When I informed the employee that the cone was stale, she said, "Oh, I didn't know. I didn't open (the store) today." That was it. No offer to make it right or give a future discount. When you pay nearly $7.00 for a cone, you deserve better. read more

Sooooo excited for this place! I am gluten free and dairy free! This is like heaven, so many options and everything is gluten free. My husband is vegan and my daughter dairy free. I had fudge brownie and mini chocolate peanut butter pieces (vegan and gluten free). So good! My daughter got the peaches and cream chai ice cream in a cone (gluten free vegan). The staff were very helpful and they said we can have as many samples as we wanted. I will be here many more times. Loved the vibe too! read more

Delicious and creamy! So many options and vegan, sherbet and perfect for any time of year. The waffle cone.... meh. Seamed stale and quite tasteless. The service, free samples and local bonus. read more

Bliss is a good ice cream parlor. Their variety of flavors and Vegan options are awesome. The service is excellent and samples are always available. It's a comfortable interior and very casual. The unique flavors like sweet corn and toasted coconut are just a few of the seasonal flavors. Try them and k ow that the ingredients are natural and the vegan options are exceptional. read more

Came by once almost 4 years ago and wasn't impressed but decided to give them another try. I am an ice cream EXPERT (who prefers gelato). Inside is cute! Lots of lights and decor. They go out of their way to be KID FRIENDLY. They have crayons and paper at the tables for kids to color while they enjoy their ice cream. Lots of the ice cream flavors have bright (ARTIFICIAL) flavors to cater to the kids. Service was good too, inviting me to sample flavors. Unfortunately the ice cream JUST ISNT VERY GOOD! Also noticed freezer burn on the ice cream too. Don't think I'll be back. read more

I'm updating my review to even lower review! We thought let's give them a try. Upon entering almost all of the ice creams were melted except for one case. I got a waffle cone with peanut butter and espresso ice cream. And it came to $9.63. The waffle cone was so chewy and almost tasted like plastic and ruined the flavor of the ice cream. The waffle cone had no flavor. The ice cream was decent, but not anything that I would return for. read more

If you're looking for some GOOD ice cream, Bliss js the spot! I love how fresh and good their ice cream is here! They got the traditional and fun flavors as well. Their service is great with a friendly staff. If you're ever in UP and want a treat, this place is a must try! read more

Very disappointed in lack of quality and limited choices. My 8 year old daughter and 11 year old son said their ice cream didn't have a burst of flavor and I tasted their ice cream and honestly it was lacking quality flavor. And what we were charged for lack of quality was not good! Very expensive! read more

They have catered to 2 of our companies events and I have gotten in line at least 3 times per.Salted caramel anything is my go to but,,,,,

The ice cream is good, but the prices are exorbitant. I'm sorry, but almost $8 for a "regular"?! It's not that special for the amount that you get, imo. read more

This place is popular with the locals but I found it overly sweet and no better than any other ice cream shop. For the price point and style of ice cream, I would rather go to Maggie Moon's or Salt & Straw. Bottom line: Fine but nothing exceptional. read more

It was our first time stopping into Bliss tonight. I'm not sure how that happened! I guess I had assumed there would only be 1-2 dairy free flavors like most other ice cream shops. Imagine my surprise when there were several! Then I asked about one them, "Do you know if it is gluten free?" And the server said everything is gluten free! Floored! And unbelievably happy to have found a place that is gluten free and has many dairy free options! read more

Bliss Small Batch Creamery - This is the vegan bubblegum ice cream. It almost reminded me of my childhood favorite! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - University Place, Washington

A very cute local ice cream shop in Tacoma. The interior is small and cozy without too many frills. We got a scoop of Cookie Monster and a scoop of Fudgie Brownie. Both were very good and very creamy. Although, the CM was quite soft, so it dripped from the jump. Either way, we will be sure to stop in again next time we are in Tacoma. ;) read more

Stopped by yesterday afternoon and picked up to prepackaged pints from the case behind the register. Cute atmosphere and very accommodating staff greeted us with a smile. We bought a pint of mint chip & a pint of Cookie Monster. $30 WOW!!! As someone who knows really good ice cream and doesn't mind paying for quality, I had very high hopes. The ice cream was just average if not below. It didn't have much flavor and the creaminess was off. Needless to say I was hoping for a better experience. read more

Tips: 1) Check-in on Yelp to receive a Buy One Get One deal Aug. 2022 2) You get a free kid scope if you have a Five Star account My only small complain is there weren't that many flavors available, but it's understandable because it's summer and a hot day when we visited. You can try as many flavors as you want. I got a single scope of Sweet Blackberry in a waffle cone. My advice: get the cone, it's worth the extra $1.50. My husband liked the Sour Cherry Amaretto (it's very soft/melty and has a super strong almond flavor - definitely not for someone like me who's not a fan almond flavor). The people who work there are super nice. There are street parking available. And outdoor seating in the shade across the stress in the square. Overall we had a wonderful experience. read more

Quality is hit or miss. The vegan and dairy-free flavors are mostly 'miss'. The pina colada flavor tastes like sugar water with chunks of canned coconut in it. It isn't creamy; it's sticky and the texture is off. Strawberry tastes fake, as if there's more fake strawberry flavoring than real strawberries. Disappointing. I think we're done going. read more

Have been here a couple of times now. Great selection reasonably priced. Last time I got the sour grape and it was so refreshing on a hot day. The shop is small but clean and the service has always been friendly. You can try any flavor before committing to it. Definitely a must stop. read more

We were excited to hear this place had vegan options. We got the strawberry shortcake, the cookie monster and the fudge one, I forget the exact name of it. Overall we were pretty disappointed. Ice cream was crumbly, icy and not creamy whatsoever. The people scooping it even admitted to that's how the texture their vegan flavors tend to be. The strawberry shortcake was especially disappointing. I tasted no "shortcake", it honestly just tasted like blended frozen strawberries. Though the execution of it wasn't great, 3 stars for inclusivity. read more

We love bliss and have been going for years! But we came in on 7/11/25 and had a bad experience with an employee with short hair and a mask. She got visibly annoyed when my 9 year old asked for a couple of samples to decide which ice cream she wanted. There were a few new flavors that came out she had never tried. It was so obvious but I said nothing. It was also frustrating how tiny our scoops were, they've never been that small. When we left my 9 year old was upset and expressed she saw the girl roll her eyes and get annoyed. I let her know I saw it as well. If it was obvious enough for a child to notice that's pretty bad. Shame on that miserable employee. Maybe find another line of work, don't ruin the goodness of Bliss! read more

As much as I can recall I've never been to a Bliss location. Once upon a time when I lived in Colorado I was obsessed over ice cream named Bliss out of Boulder but I'm pretty sure that was a different company and my no longer be around anymore. Well, I've been missing out on not going to a Bliss here in Washington until just recently. There are lots of flavors to pick from but I took the traditional approach and got their Honey Vanilla flavor. And did I enjoy it! The freshly made waffle cones are also a plus! But with this ice cream the title "Honey Vanilla" isn't just a fancy title for just vanilla ice cream but this version actually lived up to it's namesake as I tasted vanilla and the honey which was perfectly woven together in it's taste! Well done! read more

One young person working. Long lines. We didn't try anything because the place looked and felt dirty. Some ice cream was already melting / super soft in the case and some looked freezer burned(ice crystals) I saw flavors that dropped onto panther flavors and just nah. Hard pass. Needs a deep clean and temperature check of freezers read more

Alright here goes my last review for Bliss. I agree with a lot of the other reviews in the 2-3 star range. The customer service is friendly (although slow when there is only one person working what seemed to be the entire establishment on a Saturday night). I also LOVE to support small business', and REALLY like that they have this place open in good location and employ high school kids! I do not eat dairy, and have a pretty limited diet due to health issues, however when I find a good vegan ice cream spot I am ALL ABOUT IT! Unfortunately, this is not the spot for me. if you are weary about what you eat as far as additives, excess sugar, dairy, etc. then read on... I have tried Bliss on various occasions, and every time I am disappointed and feel ill. If you are looking for quality vegan ice cream that has a creamy consistency, good flavor and is worth the charge (these upscale ice cream shops are expensive), then I would recommend elsewhere. On my last visit I purchased a pint of the Vegan Cookie Monster which lists the ingredients and there are a ton of chemicals and additives... should have known then that this was not the place for me. For the amount of ice cream I ate (not even 1/4 of the pint), and the reaction my body had to this product (tummy trouble, skin instantly breaking out...) I cannot recommend their vegan product. For regular ice cream however, you still might want to try it for yourself as I cannot speak to this. Sorry Bliss, I LOVE what you're doing for the community but as far as vegan ice cream goes, I will be heading elsewhere. read more

I really love the ice cream here. I come here once or twice a month at least. However inconsistency is irritating. Sometimes you get a giant scoop and other times you get a teeny tiny scoop. And it's disappointing, to be honest with you. Bummer. read more

The waffle cones are so delicious!!! Used the Yelp deal for a free cone. Weill be coming here again!!! Nom!!!! read more

Usually, we go to Ice Cream Social but wanted to try something different The good, lots of flavors for everyone including Vegans. Really creamy ice cream and from scratch waffle cones. The downside, some flavor options were not available. Parking can be difficult at the street level but fear not there is a parking garage not but across the street. read more

Staff was friendly. Plus especially with first time customers and figuring out the flavors to choose from. Flight of ice cream is a good choice for variety. I didn't like two out of the six flavors I picked. Cons, your ice cream will melt fast if you don't eat them quickly. It was a colder day so it worked in my favor. Waffle cones are made in house! Can we say win?! Best flavors for me: blackberry and southern butter pecan. Least favorite: honey lavender. It was overwhelming sweet Surprise flavor that I enjoyed: pink bubble gum read more

Overall the shop was cute, pretty colors. And the people were kind! But the flavors were SO disappointing I asked to try a few and I was pretty let down but most of them . One flavor almost was un- edible (Rocky road) .. I had to spit it out. The other flavor I got (mint chip) was okay, not super creamy but better. Hours after, both me AND my husband had a horrible stomach ache, headache and felt awfully nauseous. I won't be returning :( read more

I discovered Bliss by passing. I went here on Yelp to check out details and went for some dessert after lunch. This is one of the plazas nearby Whole foods. They've kept their decor simple yet elegant with plenty of seating available with chairs, tables, and bar stools. The atmosphere itself is very clean and well kept. They also have a good variety of music playing, and awesome customer service- very patient and polite. The flavor selection was great. You have your options of vanilla and chocolate varieties, along with their own mixes such as the cookie monster. It's basically their version of cookies and cream, but blue. Cones or cups are your options. They also have a water dispenser if you're thirsty- no charge, and ready to go ice cream in their freezer. Their ice cream is AHHHHMAZZINGG! Give them a try if you're in the area. You'll love it! read more

Friendly service and delicious ice cream at a very affordable price. This is a cute little ice cream shop.

My favorite ice cream spot always get great service. Our ice cream always tastes good. Everyone who works here is so nice.

Our family's go-to ice cream shop on the way back from family outings in the summer. Late nights is a great time to grab a cone and sit in one of the park benches and enjoy your company and the ice cream. Always go waffle cone. Lines can be a bit long and prices could be cheaper but you are paying for the memories. read more

Yum! Ice cream was delish. Gals were patient and helpful! I had 4 happy little campers with me (don't worry they aren't all mine (thank the Lord!)) I was a little disappointed they don't have any yogurt for some reason Google advertises them as an ice cream and yogurt shop. Maybe they have yogurt on some occasions but they didn't when we were there. Just a heads up if you're a froyo feen like myself! read more

Not sure why there is even one low rating for this store. I absolutely loved everything about this ice cream shop. I guess people forget that we only had one ice cream shop for a while in the west end, Baskin-Robbins. I love that the south end is finally getting into the food scene. Ice cream with spirulina, nut butters, poppy seeds! Wow, so many yummy flavors. Went through the flavors, and I decided on the cookie which is blue from the spirulina and a second flavor of seasonal pumpkin pie. Delicious. Cake cone/joy cup kind is free and the waffle is an extra 91 cents I believe. For a child's scoop, it is $2.73 and for a regular scoop it is $4.55. The regular scoop let's you split the flavors. And a large is $6.37. There are chairs and tables you can sit at and enjoy your ice cream. Easy parking and free. read more

Super good ice cream and lots of vegan options!! There was just not one young worker but they were working their butt off to get through the line of people, but the wait wasn't long + it was certainly worth it. I got the summer strawberry flavor and it was great! read more

They have a lot of selections to choose from. I love the idea of having it in a mini tray. Definitely have someone to eat this with you!

The staff is awesome. The place is clean and well lite. The lights are really inviting and the atmosphere is really friendly. The window chairs are my favorite seating because you can gaze at the traffic both foot traffic and cars as they pass by. My kids enjoy the this place and they both love the ice cream and the different options of waffle cones. read more
