Great location in the downtown core. Enjoyed the ice cream and appreciated the ability to sample multiple flavors. Pricing is commensurate with today's economy which is to say high but not exorbitant. Overall a cute and solid ice cream shop that was worth the visit. read more

Absolutely worth walking off-the-beaten path to this ice cream shop! So much creativity oozes from this ice cream shop and property as a whole. Quaint and colorful sitting area to enjoy your waffle cone, milkshake, or soft serve. Traditional flavors of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate available plus many others including sorbet flavors. No affogato though. Friendly and helpful service, friendly visits from Baby the resident pit, and a cameo from the celebrity home owner of all this magic. Definitely make the stop and enjoy all the amazing wonder! read more

On a hot day this is a great place to stop. They have Edaleen Dairy ice cream, which has a great reputation. The downside is the wait in line. Because it's a small space families will send in one or two people to order for the whole family. Not the business' fault but I really wanted my ice cream! The wait was completely worth it! And the staff that were working that day were working hard. Definitely leave a generous tip when you order! read more

The shop smelled beautiful. It smelled sweet and the smell of all the tasty flavors was rolling around my nose. The scent drew me in and the flavor of the ice cream and hospitality of the workers lead me to stay and enjoy ice cream. The worker who helped me when I was indecisive is named Brandi and I can't thank her enough for her service and smile that lit up the room. The time I had was incredible with my friends, the heavenly aroma wafting into my soul, and the creamy, flavorful ice cream I enjoyed at Mad Hatters in Anacortes, WA. Please visit if you are able. read more

They serve Edaleen Dairy Ice Cream, which is a really quality brand of ice cream. Edaleen is made in Lynden and the company seems to be very respectable and environmentally conscientious. The products are consistently top quality, and the prices are great. Mad Hatters is a great little gem in Anacortes that lets us have some Edaleen ice cream without having to travel to Lynden to get it. Mad Hatters has a really friendly and welcoming environment and the workers (and owner) are always all smiles. The owner is extremely generous and involved with the community. When I was in high school, the owner frequently came to the school and would offer free ice cream after school. The school would set him up and he'd scoop everyone's ice cream and catch up with the teachers and students. He was even generous enough to bring several options to choose from. Even the teachers and principals would be waiting in line for a scoop on those days. Mad Hatters employs local students and serves locally sourced products, so it's a great way to support local businesses and economy. I'd rate this place a million stars if I could. This is definitively a one of a kind place that shows the character and feel of the community in Anacortes. If you're not from Anacortes, I highly recommend stopping at Mad Hatters, not just for the amazing ice cream, but because it's a huge part in the Anacortes experience read more

Crummy service. Then I paid $9 for a milkshake that was only 2/3 full. Save you money got to Lopez island creamery. The girl that was training the new girl didn't care and wasn't helpful. Long line with same person taken orders and scooping. Trainer girl was just doing busy work. I would t go back. read more

A quaint ice cream shop with some unique flavors. We stopped by about 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon after riding the Tommy Thompson Trail. They have some unique flavors and the ice cream was good; but what really impressed me was the service!!! There was one young woman working inside and quite a line. She greeted everyone as they walked up, asked what they'd like and responded with a "sure thing, you got it" or similar phrase. My point being that she was not in the least robotic, bored, or annoyed at working and being busy!!! something that is quickly becoming the norm:( I complemented her on her attitude and tipped her well; to which I received a genuine"Thanks!!!" read more

This place has wonderful ice cream & generous to their community!( I love the murals and the Bigfoot with its' own cone, too!)

My granddaughter and i went here the other day to give this ice cream shop a try. It was 530pm and they said they close at 7pm. It was closed at 530pm. Hard to get a place when you don't know if it's open or not. I heard the ice cream is pretty good but because it was closed went went to Fidalgo creamery and had absolutely fabulous ice cream. read more

We checked Yelp for the hours, it said they were open until 9pm and they had just been updated two weeks ago. We hopped in the car with our grandson and arrived at 8:45pm to be told they were closed, even though the sign on the door also listed 9pm as the closing time. He was so bummed and we were too. Really wish people would honor the hours they post. read more

Delicious ice cream in a laid back setting. Definitely worth the stop. We had cones, floats, and malts. Everyone was happy, including the kids. read more

Huge portions...super fresh ice cream. Very delicious will definitely come again when I'm in the area read more

Who wouldn't want an ice cream shop in their backyard?!?! Small shop, but a very happy employee who is very honest...she doesn't like chocolate !!! Keep following your map app even as it takes you away from the Main Street into a residential area, yet just near the marina!! I had a fudgy something and chocolate peanut butter shake ...yummy!!! A must stop for a treat!!! read more

Like the chocolate favor very friendly staff next time i will try something different favor thank you

Today was the first day we went here and it was amazing! The ice cream was delicious and the people there were so nice. My kids got ice cream Sundaees and they said it was the best ice cream they had ever had. Totally recommend fuggy wudgy and cookie dough. They also had coloring sheets for the kids which was a great added touch. The outdoor seating was really nice too! Thank you Mad Hatter ice cream! read more

As the other reviews say, this place is overpriced for ice cream. The taste is fine but definitely not worth the price. I appreciate that we found this non-chain ice cream shop in Anacortes, where there are fewer choices for desserts, but I probably would have been better off just buying a pint from the grocery store. read more

The cappuccino chip is fabulous! The cones are always fresh! The staff members are bubbly and professional!

Mad Hatter is a solid ice cream joint. The ice cream itself is good and there is a lot of variety of flavor. The portions are large and reasonably priced. One cone came pretty cracked, but the counter service was really good! A good visit if you are enjoying downtown Anacortes. read more

What a joke! Got there at 4pm snd no ice cream! Glad I spent an hour to get there and they were out of ice cream!

The location is great, the area is wonderful, the shop is cute. For me it was over priced ice cream. The person serving the ice cream was giving a dog a bone then proceed to serve ice cream w/o washing hands. I see other ice cream shops & they wash their hands constantly. The hard ice cream served is Edaleens (which is sold in stores for much less). Nice location but for me it was over priced and the cone was blah. read more

Nice little ice cream shop to visit. Very convenient location if you're at the farmers market. Very friendly service. Lots of different flavors available, they even have some you may not notice as its not in the front display area but in the freezers in the back. Only downside is the serving sizes are just a bit on the smaller side for the price. But still worth the visit!! read more

This was a great find. They have very unusual flavors like root beer (think root beer float - but way better), black licorice, and coffee Oreo (so yum!). This place is very cute and has great outdoor seating. read more

Super cute little spot! Great for ice cream and milkshakes to go. Owner was very friendly!

What a cute ice-cream shop! From the moment you pull up, there is ice-cream decor everywhere! They had a really cute sign that read "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice cream" which made me feel nostalgic! I had a waffle cone with birthday cake and chocolate chip cookie dough. My favorite was the birthday cake flavor! It tasted so much like birthday cake and had colorful sprinkles throughout! The girl working was very kind and answered my questions. It seemed that she was a teenager working a summer job. The icecream was a bit more expensive than I was expecting for a small town but worth it. I wish they had seating inside as it was getting cold that evening. If we make the trip to anacortes again we will definitely stop at Mad Hatter Icecream. read more

My friend and I stopped in at Mad Hatter's after an afternoon of antiquing in Anacortes. It was a pretty afternoon and I was surprised not more people were there. The employee was very friendly and helped us quickly and politely. I had the Rocky road and chocolate chip cookie dough in a waffle cone. My friend had two scoops of the black licorice ice cream, which she was so excited that they had it. We were very satisfied with our ice creams and walked down to look at the boats while eating our cones. We will definitely stop by next time we are in town! read more

We had visited the Anacortes Farmers Market and Maritime Exhibits and came upon this Ice Cream Stand, "The Mad Hatter". There was a line and it took a few minutes to move forward, as the server was working alone. While waiting there was music coming out of the business and the server was singing along with some of the songs, we enjoyed the entertainment. There are tons of choices in ice cream options. We tried various items, all of them were good! We received a heaping portion of ice cream on the cones. A decent value for what we had ordered. It is not a huge building, however there was plenty of outside seating. Try it, You'll Like It. read more

Dropped by this place for milkshakes on a hot spring day and was not disappointed. Got the small fudgey wudgy shake and a large cookies and cream. Both delicious, creamy and not overly sweet. The man who runs it is also very friendly and tie dyes all the shirts there so make sure to grab one! Would recommend read more

I had a terrible time here, it is very over priced, and when i got there, their dog tried to attack me, after i ordered, she got my order wrong, I told her and she threw the coffee swirl at me. I saw the lady scratch her ass then she served other customers read more

Great service and amazing ice cream! I love coffee Oreo. Also, there are three PokeStops across the store. Why not to have a ice cream while you play Pokemon Go. read more

This is our favorite ice cream spot in Anacortes. The ice cream is made in a close by dairy community. Flavors are the best and the owner a delight. Each visit discloses a new quirky mural or carving. Stop by for a treat and return with a friend. You won't be disappointed. read more

A great place to go for ice cream! Excellent selection of flavors, nice place to hang out outside on a warm day. They work hard to make each order so don't expect fast service, and be happy they took the time on yours. read more

Great little ice cream spot! The service was super friendly, and all flavors that we tried were amazing. The the-dyed shirts were cool too!

Great little, local ice cream joint! Their ice cream is fresh and creamy, and the prices are fair. There are usually several varieties of soft serve, and their waffle cones are made in-house. I love walking here after a hike on Cape Sante or after lunch downtown. The only seating is outdoors, so FYI on that one. Great spot for ice cream! I highly recommend. read more

Stopped for ice cream 08/16/2020 We were met by who I assume to be the owner, he was friendly, helpful, and honest. We tried, - the blackberry ice cream, delicious and rich, a lovely color. - the coconut ice cream, it has shredded coconut nut in it which I loved - the chocolate chip ice cream, lovely vanilla base and not too many chocolate chips - the handmade waffle bowls, they were crisp, light, and delicious. And did not have the 'cardboard' taste of a factory made waffle cone. Eating the bowl, covered in a drizzle of melted ice cream, was the perfect ending. It did not seem over priced for what we got, but if that's a concern maybe consider buying a gallon tub of western family ice cream and a box of cake cones? Will return to try the malted milkshakes! read more

I stopped into the Mad Hatter yesterday and had a quite tasty mint chip with the waffle cone. The facility was very clean and the pretty young lady represented the business well. Portions are exactly correct as any more will simply melt on a warm day and would be considered gluttony. Pricing seems a bit high to me, however, I simply don't care and my ice cream fix is satisfied. read more

What I loved most about this place was the two older gentleman with beards. They were very friendly and happy to be at work serving their customers, even when it got busy on Memorial Day. The ice cream was absolutely amazing as well. Great serving sizes and an all around great atmosphere. Thanks for the great service bearded men! read more

went for the soft serve and it really hit the spot. perfect sweetness and texture and flavor. A+. we've been on a soft serve hunt for months now but alas none exist in the lands of bellevue. read more
