We stumbled across crèmecart at the Saturday Farmers' Market on Orcas Island. The two ladies who run the crèmecart, Michelle and Sommer, sound like they are regulars at the Saturday Farmers' Market, and other island locations as well. They rotate many cool ice cream flavors and cookie combinations. Their crèmecart Facebook page listed many enticing flavors, including: butter cookie and strawberry cheesecake ice cream; dark chocolate cookie and ginger ice cream; chocolate cookie with: salted caramel ice cream or coconut ice cream or chocolate ice cream; lemon cookie with: lavender ice cream or vanilla ice cream; gluten free almond cookie with vanilla or chocolate ice cream; and on July 4th, Apple Pie Ice Cream Sandies. How fun is that? So, like any food cart, crèmecart is seasonal, and moves around following the crowds. Thankfully, Orcas is a small island, and I promise you, they are worth searching for! Five Stars.

I stumbled upon the cremecart at the park in Eastsound during the summer solstice parade. The girls…read moreworking the cart are so sweet! By the time I got there, lots of the ice cream sandwiches were sold out. All of the sandwiches are prewrapped and kept cold in the cart, so once they're gone... They're really gone. The cookie was nice and soft, but firm enough to stay together. The ice cream kept cold and didn't drip all over me. I was such a happy camper with my ice cream sandwich. I sure hope I run into this cart again!!

Honestly, pretty disappointing, especially for how expensive it is. I liked that they had sorbets…read moreand a non-dairy option, but I was really disappointed that the flavors were not good. The coconut sorbet tasted really artificial, almost like there was too much extract added. This is the only place to get ice cream (that I'm aware of), so I guess they don't have to try very hard.

You enter the garden area behind the Hansel and Gretel candy store and see an old fashioned ice cream bar with excellent ice cream.

The soft serve ice cream is some of the best I've ever had.

This little place is a hidden gem which should not be missed. While visiting on a weekend, we heard…read moreabout this place from a local. It is a little stand facing the street, which looks underwhelming at first glance. BUT, they offer delicious coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches and fast friendly service for a reasonable price. Don't skip on the spicy breakfast sauce. I don't typically like spicy sauces especially on breakfast food but it is SO good. We make it a rule not to go to the same places when on vacation so we can try new places but we broke it here. We went back both mornings because the sandwiches were so good. The only downside is there is no place to really sit and eat outside so you would need to take your food to go and sit in your car, go back to hotel or air bnb, unless it is nice out and you can find a bench somewhere. Overall, this place was a hit and I suggest you try it if ever in Friday Harbor.

Located in the Port Angeles Wharf, this ice cream shop specializes in New Zealand-style ice cream…read more It's a cross between a smoothie and ice cream in a soft-serve form. Basically, hardpacked traditional ice cream and frozen fruit are mixed in a specialized mixing auger-like cone and pushed through so everything is smooth and creamy, with no icy bits. Usually fruit ice cream has cooked down fruit swirled in as a jam to avoid ice crystals, but the cooking process changes the taste and consistency of the fruit. This is a way to enjoy the taste of the fruit with minimal adulterations and with a smooth consistency. Each order is made on the spot, so it may take longer. Be sure to check out the restaurants also in the building, or if you're not interested in food, there's also an art gallery and arcade. You can also just enjoy the views of the Strait, or of the mountains depending on your vantage point. It's absolutely great for photos on a nice day. The ferries pass by here too, so you can observe their coming and goings if that's of interest to you.

I'm not an ice cream person and not into desserts, but I can't stop thinking about it! Tried mixed fruit and strawberry on consecutive nights and was blown away by the quality and taste of their New Zealand style ice cream. I liked that it's not sweet like other American ice cream. A little inconsistent in size, as my second visit yielded a much smaller portion but I would've gone back the next night if I stayed longer in Port Angeles!
