As many older reviews suggest, avoid this place. First, the ice cream is extremely mediocre, it's very slushy with ice particles - reminds me of ice cream from a Chinese buffet. But even worse is the service, the workers were grumpy and they refused to give us samples even though other customers were allowed samples... Easy 1/5 read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - Huckleberry cheesecake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Delicious ice cream near the pier. They even has Spumoni, which is hard to find these days.

Highly recommend the Almost Baked Cookie Dough and Coffee & Cookies! Small cups are $6 each. Waffle cones $1 extra.

This place only takes cash so be forewarned. The other thing is that you aren't allowed samples so know what flavor you want before ordering. The lines are a bit long as well. Personally, I think their ice cream is okay. Their best flavor is Cheesecake Huckleberry but other than that, all their ice cream is ordinary. I'd recommending waiting and going to different locations for ice cream. read more

Great service and delicious ice cream ( London Fog!!!). Cute shop and good service. This spot rocked--we've been here many times over the years and will be back for more. read more

Mediocre ice cream, overpriced, cash only. Archaic business model, not cool. The cash only sign on the counter was covered partially by a tip can and other flyers. We didn't notice this and ordered two ice creams, we went to pay and THEN were told cash only. I asked about an ATM and was told none were nearby. They threw one of the ice creams away. Cute shop, good location, good vibes though. read more

Be sure to bring cash - they are CASH ONLY. This spot gets your attention when you are waiting for your ferry. The place is close to the ferry boarding point. I went to check out this place while waiting for the ferry. I was worried about the long line. But the staff is quite quick and the line moved fast. Good collection of ice cream varieties to choose from. Paid 50 cents for the waffle cone. It was a regular tasty ice cream. (I am a diehard Tillamook ice cream fan. Oops!) Would definitely recommend to checkout the spot while waiting for your ferry. read more

Super delicious ice cream....and over 70 flavors to choose from. We had marionberry cheesecake (oh, yeah), strawberry cheesecake with fudge (double yum) and a chocolate malted shake (oh, baby). We would go AGAIN! *WARNING- It's cash only, but lower prices than other ice cream places on San Juan. * Staff- super fast and nice, even with a long line down the sidewalk. read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - From right 1. Death by Choclate 2.Pistachio almond 3.Huckleberry all three were amazing. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Easy, quick, great location, and also the only ice cream shop open after 7pm? Stopped by after dinner for a quick little scoop of the most amazing huckleberry cheesecake ice cream in a sugar cone. My husband got the licorice flavor because he's a psychopath. Took our cones on a cute little walk down the pier to sit and watch the ferry come and go. Great service, little to no wait, and amazing flavors! read more

A quaint ice cream shop in the right location! We took the ferry over from Anacortes and after walking around for a bit, decided on an ice cream before boarding again. As I was in line, the lady in front of me said she's a regular and you can't go wrong on any flavors, since it's all freshly made. I sampled the blank cherry, the mango pistachio, before deciding on good old coffee, for that extra pick me up! Service is quick and friendly and everyone is happy happy with an ice cream in hand on a hot summer day. read more

This charming little ice cream shop is just steps away from the ferry. It was nice to stand in line listening to locals talk about their bike rides and tourists discuss dinner plans. The line moved remarkably quickly for a small operation and I had a huckleberry sundae in no time. The ice cream is tasty and the many flavors mean there is certainly something for everyone. read more

We've been going to this place for years. We were sorely disappointed with our past visit. One of the many changes were the waffle cones are no longer home made. Or they changed vendors and the waffle cones are awful. The ice cream was OK. But it did not taste delicious like before. Also, I got 1 little scoop that didn't even fill waffle cone. I had to eat down cone to get to ice cream. Never had that happen before. Line was super long and you can't go inside. And they only take cash; $36 for 4 single scoop waffle cones. I ate it so I didn't waste $9 on my cone. Received no napkins. Guess those are extra?! Really was looking forward to the ice cream treat and was very disappointed! read more

There are so many flavors to choose from. The ice cream is delicious but melts kind of quickly so you have to eat fast. The problem is that the place itself is way too cramped and small. It's really hard to get a good look at all the flavors before someone rushes to ask you what you want. My friend also said that the sugar cone is really hard. It might've been sitting out for too long. Who knows. Remember to bring CASH. read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - Huckleberry & Green Tea. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

On a hot day, this place is a great visit. This being said, you can get better ice cream at most places (my humble opinion). Plus, if you get the superman ice cream, you might be a bit disappointed. It isn't the real Midwest stuff. read more

Great ice cream. Horrible service. Staff is rude and seem inconvenienced by the presence of customers. Don't get the waffle cone as they short you on the ice cream. They have a captive audience while you wait for the ferry. Would have been one or zero stars - but the ice cream is good. Would be amazing with some friendly staff. read more

Great root beer float ice cream I took my son here to try ice cream. So many places to eat ice cream on the island. This place was special, it had many unique flavors. One thing to know is that they only accept cash only. read more

So many flavors at convenient location right by the waterfront. Loved the mocha almond fudge. read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

I'm a little surprised at all the negative reviews for this place. It's in a perfect location right near the ferry dock. And the ice cream is GOOD! I had the coconut pineapple and it was so creamy and delicious that I had to come back and have it again before we left - yum! My boyfriend had the wild berry sorbet on our first visit and the Maui Island sherbet on our second - I tried bites of both and they were very tasty. Lines can be long and the high school employees aren't exactly the most friendly workers in town, but the ice cream is great, the long lines actually move pretty quickly, and the prices are reasonable. read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - Maui Island sherbet and Coconut Pineapple ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Good ice cream, rich and flavorful. A little high priced as ice cream goes, but you're on the island and their servings are large, so what the hey. read more

This is a really small place packed with delicious ice creams. So many flavors to choose from. I got a scoop of green tea and macadamia nut. Normally, I would go with coconut and pineapple. I tried it, but there was too much of the coconut taste and not so much of pineapple. Both flavors were good. The green tea one was better than my expectation. There was a lot of macadamia nuts in the macadamia one. They only take cash. I only sampled one flavor, coconut and pineapple. I asked to a girl for green tea sample as well, but she said they only allowed one sample per one customer at the time. Wonder why. read more

Ok ice cream with HORRIBLE service. I've never had someone say while taking my order, "You're trying to talk to me." And completely walk away like it's not part of their job to talk to the customer. Should I just text my order? read more

So delicious! I got the spumoni ice cream and my partner got the huckleberry cheesecake. Make sure you bring cash! Great first stop! read more

The best advertisement for any ice cream store is customers walking around on a sunny day, licking their ice cream cone. That's what eventually broke me down. I was trying to be good, I was trying to avoid the sugar, but I couldn't help myself. It looked too good to pass up. In addition, the location of Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co.- right next to the ferry terminal- is deadly for people like me, with good intentions, just waiting to board. They know how to get ya! They claim to have 72 different flavors of ice cream, and the Starbucks coffee flavored cookies & cream was pretty tasty. My only complaint is that a "single" is two scoops, but they don't tell you that until it's too late. At least Ben & Jerry's allows you to choose two different flavors for their small- but oh, well. I still love ice cream, and so any ice cream store will probably get an obligatory 3 stars minimum from me! read more

I am a connoisseur of ALL things ice cream and this place did NOT dissapoint!!! We were on the island for 12 hours and enjoyed this lovely little shop twice. The flavor choices were what you would find at Baskin Robbins (31 Flavors) but the price & quantity were so much more! My 'one scoop' was truly two and the waffle cone was only an extra .25 vs. the usual .99 you could spend elsewhere (including BR). The girls were super friendly and there seemed to be no tax charged. Our two scoops (plus .25 waffle cone) were advertised at $3 each and we only paid $6.25 for our selections so that was cool. They only accept CASH so keep that in mind. The shop is super tiny so plan to wait a bit with long lines but it's seriously worth it!!! read more

Selection - a lot of choices, they say 70 flavors, but it looked like about 30 flavors. Price - Two scoops for $3.50, very reasonably priced. Flavor - had the espresso chip which was good. Quality - all the ice cream is super soft because their freezer needs to be colder. The ice cream was melting once he handed me the cone. For this, you had to eat the ice cream in 5 mins or it will be all over your hands. Would not recommend this place. read more

Within walking distance from the ferry and so many flavors to choose from you can't go wrong on a beautiful day in Friday Harbor. The shop is galley style that's one way only so be sure to find the correct entrance and pay attention as you skim the freezers for your favorite flavors or maybe something new an unique (they have liquor flavors for 21+, honey lavender and superman). Cash only so be prepared. There's also a large sign that reads 'samples are limited' so don't be the jerk holding up the line - more than 2 and you're just asking to be scowled at by staff and other patrons patiently waiting. I'll agree with other reviews that maybe the freezers aren't cold enough and it does melt quicker than expected, for persepective mine was melting before I exited the building and I barely got a picture before it was dripping everywhere. If you don't trust your littles go for the bowl, otherwise waffle cones are an extra .50. ENJOY! read more

Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. - Left peanut butter fudge & cookies n cream. Right death by chocolate & salted caramel. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Grabbed a cone waiting for the ferry. Though the line was long they were surprisingly quick. They have a ton of flavors to choose from and some obscure ones too (Jack Daniels) They are cash only, so be prepared. read more

72 flavors tucked into a tiny ice cream shop right on the waterfront of Friday Harbor! Perhaps the heat made anything cold taste good, and I'll agree with the other reviews that the employees are less than courteous, but he wasn't exactly rude (just in a rush to get people through the line). I'll also agree that it's not quite worth the price, especially since the scoops are not that big and the cone can end up empty. read more

Too creamy adn thick for my taste, but did have some awesome flavors (huckleberry). CASH only, so bring some! Location is perfect (right on the corner when you get off the Ferry from Anacortes). read more

Step 1: Get cash. Step 2: Walk inside this tiny shop. Step 3: Gaze at the TONS of flavors. Step 4: Hem and haw before settling on something awesome, like Honey Lavender, Northwest Berry, or Chocolate Peanut Butter. Step 5: Take your ice cream onto the ferry. Enjoy. read more

This is the least friendly establishment in Friday Harbor. I bought my 2 kids ice cream and the old grumpy lady charged them the adult cone price so I corrected her. She still didn't want to give me correct change, not a big deal but still a dishonest move. I let her know she could be more friendly and she promptly told me to "F Off" as we walked off and customers and kids heard. Not once did I curse at her. Unprovoked and unacceptable. Take your business elsewhere in this nice community. read more

Cash only. Prices are typical. Go in on the west side or they'll shoo you out and back around, even if there is only one other party in the place, apparently. They offer lots of flavors, though many had that melted and refrozen look. I got spumoni, since it looked like it had stayed cold. It was delicious, though I had to eat it fast, because it wasn't rock hard cold. I like my ice cream cold. Ice cold, like in the name. read more

Ice cream and service were both great - people are loco on these posts. Place was super cute too right off the water

Step back Baskin Robbins because Friday Harbor Ice Cream Co. has upped the ante with 72 different flavors. This is the perfect place for an afternoon snack as you walk around looking out onto the harbor, or as you wait for your ferry. The ice cream isn't made in house but it's still good, the portions are huge, and it will satisfy your sweet tooth. The only cons are that it's cash only and a bit pricey. read more

Walked in and asked to take a look at flavors and the employee was very rude told me to exit and go out out the other way. I said we are just looking. And she said doesn't matter. We are going elsewhere with better friendlier people. read more

Skip it. The worst type of ice cream that you would feed your children - gummy bear ice cream filled with colorings, chocolate chip mint that's colored green blah blah blah it's just dryers ice cream. And they don't except credit cards. They rush you through with no personalized service; my daughter asked if she could split a single scoop into two flavors; they said yes; and then they charged for a double scoop. Nothing at all interesting about this place except that it's at the water. read more
