I tried banana cream pie and double Espresso. Banana cream pie tasted as advertised. Double espresso tasted like a generic coffee ice cream. I tried my friend's pistachio flavor and I was impressed that actually tasted like a pistachio nut. Gelato was very creamy although I prefer a balance of dense and creaminess. Service was good. Hardly any seating inside.
Go for the Pure Hazelnut and Strachetiella! Best flavors out of everything we tried. Paired them with an espresso and you got the perfect pick-me-up. Their gelatos were on the icier end though which was not great but very cute store and staff was super nice!
Update: The owner reached out to me with an apology, the screenshot is included. I appreciate them looking into the situation and offering a giftcard. Giving everything that happened I'm not interested in coming back with or without a gift card. Had the owner looked into the incident first before accusing me of maliciously lying maybe I'd feel different. I hope this situation doesn't happen to anyone else, but want to update and post the screenshot for transparency.
Wanted a bit of a sweet treat, so came by this fainting goat spot. It's a super casual spot with a few tables and counter seats to enjoy your treat. It was relatively empty, so we were able to try a bunch of samples without feeling rushed. We ended up getting the Mexican vanilla bean and the strawberry sorbetto. Separate, they can be a lot, but together, it paired well. I wouldn't say they're very gelato-y though, it's not as creamy and thick as other gelato places. I also wish they had more variety in sizing. I like having 2 flavors but the small is still pretty big :c
Good place to get gelato. I still prefer a squirrel still gelato. I wish it was a bit more creamy as it taste like ice cream. Good service, great location and I'd come back!
The staff was very friendly and patient with me as I tried some flavors! She was also very patient with the kids after us. The place feels clean and has a good ambiance for hanging out if you need a moment to rest. Regarding the ice cream and sorbet itself, it is very very sweet. Admittedly, I am not a fan of super sweet desserts and ice cream but if you are, you might like this! My boyfriend and I got the pineapple sorbet and sea salt caramel. Both flavors are good although the sea salt caramel tasted like coffee. Not exactly my go-to ice cream place but I'm glad I tried it! Decent price for ice cream!
so yummy! i got the pear sorbet which was so refreshing on a hot day. it tasted exactly like an american pear. texture wise it wasn't like the typical sorbet and kind of had a fluffy texture. my friend got a chocolate flavor of some sort and it was so rich and creamy. kind of reminded me of those popsicle fudge bars from childhood.
I highly recommend this place! I was absolutely blown away by their gelato--it's that good. We ordered a medium size, and it was more than enough for the four of us to share. We tried pistachio, tiramisu, and fig, and every single flavor was incredible. On top of that, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I'm already planning my next visit to explore more flavors. If you're debating which gelato spot to try, stop thinking and just come here! It was about $9.5 for medium size (3 scoops/flavors).
Came in, server let me try four flavors. I probably could've tried more but didn't want to get too much LOL. It was all pretty good, but I ended up getting the Pistachio and Mexican Vanilla Bean. The matcha was pretty good too but my friends ordered it and I hate ordering the same thing. Pretty good dessert, would definitely come back!
My friends and I tried the chocolate fondante, Mexican vanilla bean, and pistachio, and tiramisu in a pint. The medium size, which allows 3 flavors, was pretty hefty and definitely for sharing with friends. The gelatos were all smooth and creamy. The chocolate had a fairly bitter taste to it and I thought it tasted like cocoa powder. I'd categorize it as an adult chocolate rather than one you'd want to give kids. I've never had Mexican vanilla bean before but the flavor itself was so pronounced and strong in the gelato, which I appreciated. The pistachio and tiramisu ones had more subtle flavors The medium was $7.50
An amazing local gelato spot, simple favors, generous portions, and good service. I wish the prices were a little lower, typical Seattle dessert prices, but it's cheaper than a plane ticket to Italy.
Went after dinner for desert- I was hoping for one vegan option but they were all out. The group I was with raved about the tiramisu flavor and pistachio. I really loved their event poster wall and they had good jams playing.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the rich and unique gelato flavors, friendly and helpful staff, and a clean and inviting atmosphere. Portions are also considered generous.

Yummy! Pricey store so definitely don't see myself going out of my way to return as it wasn't the best gelato I've ever had or anything being honest. But definitely was a great summer day treat in the area! Staff was helpful and answered all questions. Store is small with limited indoor and outdoor seating and it gets busy so finding a seat can be hard in the Summer season. I tried a small cup of half chocolate fondante and half hazelnut. Chocolate was my favorite part as it was more on the rich side which I like. Good option in Wallingford area for a cold Summer treat. read more

The Fainting Goat Gelato is a nice little gelato shop with a clean aesthetic. I got the espresso gelato: it had a rich coffee flavor without being too overly sweet. The texture was smooth, and I thought it was refreshing and not heavy compared to other gelatos I've had. The employee was really friendly while I sampled the flavors, and while there's not a ton of seating inside, it's still a nice place to enjoy dessert with people. read more

Delicious dessert that's sizable too. Though not quite crazy enough to impress and exceed expectations, Fainting Goat is above average. Gelato is an improved version of ice cream that can also be considered healthier with less fat and less sugar. It's also typically denser with less air whereas ice cream sometimes is half (50%) air. We got the Mint stratiacella, chai latte, Fainting Goats Milk with, and Chocolate Fondante I'd rank my favorite to least favorite as: chocolate fondante, chai latte, mint, and fainting goat My partner ranked: mint, chocolate, chai latte, fainting goat The fainting goat simply had a more indescribable taste that was a little too unique for our likings. It wasn't necessarily bad, just different. Some type of vanilla with The mint was very standard but hard to go wrong with. Chocolate was extremely rich. Chai latte was a cinnamon flavor with strong hints of sweetness One complaint was that my utensil had plastic bits ripping off and I eventually found out I ate some bits thinking it was part of the gelato. Super tiny bits but awful to think about. Debated on how this affected my perspective for a bit but I think it's a negative. read more

I've been excited to check this place out for a while now since I've been missing the gelato in Italy! It was empty on a weekday evening too. My partner and I split a 3-scoop cone with chocolate fondante, goats milk, and pink guava gelato. Chocolate fondante was not too chocolatey - but I now see they have dark chocolate on the menu. Goats milk was a subtle flavor, not sure how to describe really, and I wasn't a big fan unfortunately. The pink guava was yummy but a little too sweet. Overall not super super impressed with the flavors I picked unfortunately. But the gelato was very creamy and silky smooth. So I'll have to give this a 3.5/5. Although I'll have to come back to try the hazelnut or dark chocolate if they have those flavors. read more

Stopped by for a quick gelato craving after dinner. The chocolate flavor was ummmmmmmm sooooooooooo goooooood. So fudgy, gooey and oh so delicious. I could eat it all day. Hubby got the lemon olive oil and rose flavors and loved it. Lemon was tart, just how he likes. And rose was very refreshing. Great dessert option if you are in the hood! read more
The kiddos and I have been checking out various ice cream spots in the Seattle area and this one definitely ranks up there! I ordered the small and it was a pretty big portion. My kiddo got the medium and could barely finish. Other kiddo got the small in a waffle cone and it was filled up. We tried the chocolate fondante, Mexican vanilla, stracciatella and toasted almond gelatos and they were all fantastic. Stracciatella is my usual go-to flavor and I was not disappointed. None of the gelatos were overtly sweet and they were all exceedingly rich and creamy. There are a couple of tables for outdoor seating. It was really nice to sit outside on a warm evening, people watch and enjoy our treat. We have been wanting to stop by for a while now, and we are so glad we finally did! read more

All of summer I have been trying different ice cream places and Fainting Goat was on my list. Last night we drove from West Seattle to this place to try their gelatos. We ordered 2 small scoops (2 flavors) one with Stracciatella+ Chocolate Fondante and the other with Chocolate Fondante+Sea Salt Caramel. Everything tasted good. The gelatos were delicious BUT the customer service was HORRIBLE. It was my first time visiting this place and obviously as an ice cream lover I was confused as to what to order but my husband was clear and ready to order immediately. I told the young lady behind the counter that I was confused and if she could help me out. She rolled her eyes and did not respond even though she stood right there judging me. I was looking at the different options trying to make up my mind (and reading the ingredients in some gelatos since I was not familiar with it at all being my first time here) and she seemed grumpy and irritated. Trust me this was all in 30 seconds to a min max so its not like I was standing there confused not knowing what to order for 10 mins+. Fearfully, I ordered the Stracciatella+ Chocolate Fondante. There was absolutely no one in the store apart from my husband and I so she could have been kind friendly and courteous. Rolling eyes? seriously? That is not the level of customer service I expect from any place. Plus why not help ice cream lovers understand what is one of your best sellers so we can see what you have. Now I do know why this ice cream place is not crowded as some other places - nobody wants to walk in to an ice cream parlor to be treated this poorly. Clearly this ruined our evening and left a bitter taste. Sadly, I will not be returning again no matter how good their gelatos are. read more

Always great whenever we go. We look forward to seeing the seasonal flavors during our visit. Right now it's cinnamon or pumpkin spice. I tried the cinnamon one (as 1/2 of my small order) with the other half being cappuccino. Friend had cinnamon and pistachio. Yum! read more
BEST SORBET EVER PERIOD. omgggg all of their sorbet flavors are so delicious!!! I absolutely love fainting goat and I definitely recommend this place over Molly Moons to all my friends who visit. The flavors are usually changing but all the flavors that I've tried were all super yummy! I love the pineapple, strawberry, peach, & raspberry sorbet.. actually ALL the sorbets are so good! So light, fresh & flavorful. Highly highly recommended! If you're in Wallingford, make sure to try Fainting Goat! I just wish I lived closer to this place - but then it would be bad for me because I would want to eat it everyday! Hahah :) read more
Our last stop of the night was at Fainting Goat Gelato. Always love trying out new gelato spots. It's a few doors from Yoroshiku. We dropped in on a late Friday evening (around 10:30pm). The one worker was starting to clean up the shop but was super friendly and let us know they were still open for business. The inside is small with half a dozen tables. They had 14 gelato and sorbet flavours available. We sampled a couple before we made our decision. Scoops are on the pricey side ($4.95 US single, $6.50 US double and $8.50 US triple). Not cheap for us Canadians. They also had espresso, pints ($10.00 US), affogato and gelato cakes on the menu. There's gelato sandwiches ($6.50 US) and macaroons ($1.75 US) but I didn't see any in the fridge. - Two scoops ($6.50 US) - we went with pear ginger sorbet and Mexican vanilla. Sorbet was refreshing but I tasted more ginger than pear flavour. Good but the flavour was a bit too subtle. Mexican vanilla was much more satisfying; reminded me of horchata. Think they mix cinnamon into this. I'd get it again. FGG was worth a try but we weren't blown away by their gelato and sorbet flavours. 3.5 stars. read more

I just love the name and the gelato was pretty good. It was a bit expensive but would go again to try out the different flavors. The service was quick, especially since I went during December and it was snowing in Seattle. lol Would love to try it again during a warmer season It's a cute store and had some seating. We parked on the street when we visited. read more

Got the lemon which I saw high praise for, and I was let down. The ingredients were not evenly mixed at all. Lots of spoonfuls of just overpowering crème flavor without any hint of lemon. Some bites had lots of lemon flavor. The lemon wafers mixed in were a good addition but sparse and few in between. Portions were good, the baby size for $5 would be a small elsewhere. However with few flavor options and experience I had, not sure I would come back. read more
