Everytime I go here, it sounds and looks a lot better than it actually is. Many Bennies is a cute outdoor ice cream shop next to SBP in Fremont. Their signature is soft serve ice cream that is fruit flavored. Their blackberry flavor is the most popular and objectively the best ("good" rating); I've also had the blueberry and strawberry which are decent and the mango which is way too sour and not worth getting. You can also customize your ice cream base, though it doesn't make a huge difference for the ice cream imo because I only taste the base at the very bottom. I've had the sweet cream and London fog and both are ok. For me the primary problem with the ice cream is that the fruit flavors aren't super strong and don't taste super fresh compared to other better fruit ice cream I've had. The idea of swirling fruit flavored soft serve is cool but their flavors don't really mix well to create something better. It's also super expensive for soft serve ($8 for cup before tax). There often is a long line and the service is quite slow, so you can end up waiting a long time. The staff are nice but they're prone to mistakes - I asked for strawberry mango but they gave me some random blackberry mix. They ended up remaking it for me which was nice but it's definitely better if that mistake was not made. Regardless, mistakes like these don't really affect my rating of the place. 4.1/5
I am not a huge ice cream fan since I'm lactose intolerant but when I heard this place opened up that offered a twist on ice cream, I was intrigued. Many Bennies offers fruit based ice creams, which was a really interesting concept to me so I had to give it a try. We visited on a Tuesday night and it was quite busy even 15 minutes before closing. The ice cream stand had a few seating areas in a covered area right next to a bouldering gym tucked away in a fully residential neighborhood but there was ample street parking. We waited around 5 minutes to order and the staff were really friendly and accommodating even though we visited close to closing time. We ordered the lemon raspberry and sweet cream base and I added strawberry to the lemon raspberry. The ice cream was very creamy and fruity and the presentation was SO CUTE. They also offer free lactaid too!! It cost around $6.50 for each cup of ice cream and it was quite a bit of ice cream too. I couldn't finish the whole cup by myself since the dairy caught up to me but I really like the concept of having fruit based ice cream. Very unique!
Very refreshing and perfect for the weather today, everything's outdoors so definitely better on a sunny or nice day. Recommend going on a Sunday after the market or even coming here then walking to gas works. In the ice cream we could definitely taste the fruity flavors and adding a topping was worth it in my opinion. The servings are also pretty generous although it was ~$10 (w/ topping) I shared with a friend and it was enough. People working were also friendly.
Many Bennies had been on my try list for a while, but I ultimately thought that the concept was fun, but the texture just wasn't my favorite. I ended up trying the earl gray base with blackberries and blueberries and what I didn't realize is that everything gets blended directly into the base before they serve it to you. Unfortunately, the berries completely overwhelmed the earl gray flavor and I feel like it also impacted the texture so it was a bit too water-y and not that luxurious creaminess that I'm looking for with soft serve. Logistics wise, you'll have to find street parking, but I've never had too much trouble with the residential neighborhood they're in. I went at 7PM before a late-ish dinner reservation on a cold, rainy Saturday, so there weren't too many folks in line. Their seating is technically out doors, but it's covered with plenty of heat lamps, so it was actually pretty warm to the point that I took off my jacket! I think it's fun if you live in the area, but I definitely wouldn't wait in line or go out of my way for it.
Super delicious ice cream. Located right outside SBP Fremont, this is a great place to go after bouldering. You are able to customize your ice cream by blending up to 2 fruits into their base. You can choose from many different bases and I got the limited edition lemon raspberry. I mixed it with blueberry and blackberry. So yum! They have free lactaid as well and vegan base if you want to avoid milk! The ice cream is the perfect size for one person and derive is quick. I will be back!
Never heard of this ice cream place before some friends took me here but this place is yummy! This is a fun little small New Zealand style(?) ice cream shop next to SBP in Fremont. Ordering is done at a window next to SBP, and there's a small outdoor seating area next to it with some tables and benches. I got a cup of the mango (seasonal option) with sweet cream base. Flavor was good! I liked how you can sometimes get mango fruit chunks in a bite of ice cream. The amount of ice cream which you get for the price is also great, my cup came really loaded up. The eyes which they add to the ice cream are cute, too. Not too enjoyable to eat though. Service was super friendly but somewhat slow, I think they didn't have too many people working so it took a bit of time to order and for the ice cream to come out, but the taste and quantity more than made up for it. Definitely a cool spot to grab some ice cream that's not a major chain like Salt&Straw or Molly Moon!
Life-changing ice cream? Not quite, but it's really good for the price and size. I walked by this place on a weekend after a run and noticed it had just opened. I've been seeing Many Bennies all over social media and since there was no line I figured I'd try it out. I got the sweet cream base with mango and strawberry ($6). I enjoyed the flavor a lot and thought the base + fruit complemented each other well. Because it's a softer serve you don't have to worry about it being too dense. There are places to sit and eat however it's all outside. On a colder day you may want to take it to go. I enjoyed this spot and will be back.
I've seen long lines of this place in summer, but didn't try until one day there was no line. Honestly, the ice cream was good, but not amazing. The texture felt a bit too dense, and I've had creamier ice cream. I would get it again, but probably would not line up for it. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. There is a nice, open place next to it for seating.
I have a huge sweet tooth, so I was excited to hear a new dessert spot opened up in my area! Located near the Fremont area, parking can be tricky to find as it's primarily street parking. But the entire area is really cute to just take a stroll and shop around. The store is a small window front where you can quickly take your order. There's outdoor seating available too to enjoy your dessert. They offer a lot of flavors and mix-ins to try which were all fruity and unique combos! We ended up ordering the blueberry flavor which was so fresh and not artificial at all! It's also so cute with their famous chocolate/candy eyes. The portion size was really big so I was able to share it with my boyfriend. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking out Many Bennie's if you're in the Fremont area!

Food - huge serving & very fresh feeling. the eyes are little candies. when i got to the bottom of mine i think its maybe the plain cream without the mixed in fruit and i actually really liked it. i wish it came in a way smaller portion though because i was struggling to finish this giant cup! worth the price though, just would want a smaller portion for less. Service - excellent! they even have lactaid which really made me laugh. Ambiance - tons of outdoor seating. its right next door to a climbing gym, so would be such a nice treat to yourself after going climbing. read more
Not sure if Many Bennies was unfairly overhyped, or if it really was just meh. I got the Sweet Cream ice cream, blended with strawberry and banana. It wasn't very creamy or sweet. But at least the ice cream was cute with the googley eyes. read more

1. Since Many Bennie's opened last year it's been our favorite ice cream place in Seattle. 2. The way they mix the fruit into the ice cream base for each order makes it so refreshing. The fruit flavor is so pure and delicious. 3. The owner is very cool and friendly and so are the staff. read more

A fun and unique place to get fresh fruit ice cream. They only have two bases to choose from, then you pick the fruits you want blended into the ice cream. A little pricey but it's fun for the kids. They also have a spacious covered patio. read more

Finally got to try Many Bennies in Fremont and I would say it lived up to the hype! I had a cup with the sweet cream base and tried the mango and blackberry flavors. It was super creamy and tasted like actual fruit (not too sweet and really refreshing). Also, we loved the cute little candy eyes on top, which was a fun touch that makes it totally Instagram-worthy. There is usually a long line (especially during summers), but we lucked out and came on a Sunday evening and there was no wait at all. Definitely planning to come back to try more flavors! read more

Cute and fun sweet treat! Decided to stop here after a picnic at Gas Works park and it did the trick for a sweet treat after hanging out at the park. Only a 10 minute walk from Gas Works! read more
Creamy and fruit ice cream which was very refreshing on a warm summer day! We found street parking and got lucky because the line wasn't too long. I will say that service is a little on the slower side because they blend each ice cream to order. I got the sweet cream base with blackberries. It was good but for some reason, I didn't get the ice cream craving satisfied quite like other ice cream spots. But still tasty. I love that they give Lactaid and the lemon curd was nice as well. A little on the pricier side but definitely different than other ice cream spots if you're looking for something more unique! Great outdoor seating area! read more
TLDR: overrated new ice cream shop We've been here several times since they opened. First time, I got their seasonal flavor lavender with banana and mango. BAD CHOICE. The lavender overpowered every single last bit of banana or mango flavor. It felt like a gigantic lavender in ice cream shape. The consistency was also disappointing in a way hard to describe... Also I saw them handing some people ice cream in cup with the waffle cone on top, which was so much more convenient than how they put mine together - waffle cone with an extremely tall thin ice cream top. It turned into a disaster when the goggley eyes fell and I tried to clean them off of the ground as an etiquette - the entire ice cream top collapsed and half of them fed the concrete ground ... oh, btw. the area around this ice cream shop was full of those googley eyes... We gave them second and third chances with the basic flavors (sweet cream and the vegan one). They were good, and not overly sweet which I always appreciate, but nothing special. And the googley eyes were more for advertising than tasting, IMO. IG the most unique thing about their ice cream is they blend in real fruits? Oh, and I very much dislike how they handed out their ice creams - plugging the cones into the holes in front of their window... quite gross considering their traffic and the dust and the germs and everything else and how infrequently they'd clean that rack... read more
Cute ice cream. I had a fun time customizing my ice cream and seeing how the colors turned out. There was a line but the wait was not too long and the staff was really kind. There were enough tables for me to sit at one. Perfect for a sweet little treat. read more
I had lavender with berries - extremely fresh! I love how you can taste the fruit and the ice cream itself refreshing! Weekday before 3 pm usually has shorter lone. Size/portion varies. The last time i received was a lot less than first time :') read more
How cute, but only partially worth the hype if I'm totally honest. Basically you order an ice cream (vegan vanilla or sweet cream) base then add up to two fresh fruit which they blend in. Then choose your topping(s). The line was long but moved reasonably fast, so we weren't waiting forever. There was outdoor covered seating, but we planned to enjoy the ice cream at gas works (did end up finishing them before we got to the park lol). The SB ice cream was pretty tart, I think I liked the MB combination more (most likely because I LOVED the toasted coconut chips). I don't think I'll go out of my way to go back, but it is a fun place to try once. Service was friendly, portions were appropriate. Vegan friendly options. Parking - street and/or neighborhood parking read more
Cool trendy dessert spot right next to the Bouldering Project gym offering fresh New Zealand style ice cream! Staff were all super friendly :) Your choice of cream base (sweet cream, vegan vanilla, lavendar) is blended (made to order) with up to 2 fruits of your choice into a swirled dessert and served to you with candy googley eyes! I got the banana blueberry and liked the flavor but friend got strawberry mango and the consistency was even better super smooth I have to order that next time! Also really like that it's not too sweet and they use real fruits! They have a punch card too with buy 9 get 1 free! read more
Many Bennies is a cute new ice cream shop that has a fresh fruit-forward concept that is custom made to order. It's a tiny storefront right next to Seattle bouldering project in Fremont but has a patio for outdoor seating. It's nice in the summer, but I'm not sure how it'll work in the cold winters. I customized a lavender base ice cream with blueberry and blackberry fruit mix ins. They also had strawberry, cherry, banana, and mango. The fruit options change with the seasons. For the bases, you could choose between the original sweet cream, vegan base, or lavender. Finally, I Added cacao nibs as an extra topping (+50¢). It was good, but I thought the fruit flavor could have been even stronger. Plus, there were bits that were not fully mixed. The eyes are a cute concept, but don't really taste good lol. It's a bit expensive at $8 a cup (and extra for a cone) but the fresh fruit concept may be worth this upcharge. Unfortunately when I went, they were out of a lot of fruit options, including mango, which I really wanted to try. Guess I'll just have to go earlier in the day next time before they sell out. read more
Many Bennies is a walk up ice cream spot in Fremont. They blend fresh fruits into the ice cream on the spot. They are curently in their soft opening but it was the first time for me to have ice cream this way. There are a bunch of toppings available and you can choose up to 2 fruits. They also have rotating bases for their ice cream. There is a big seating area that is covered as well. Free lactaid if you need it! Staff: nice (4/5) Sanitation status: (5/5) Strawberry and Blackberry with Sweet Cream Base (4/5) The Ice cream was really soft and smooth. I would definitely want to try other combinations. They also had a vegan base which a friend of mine got and I actually preferred that base over the sweet cream. read more

I wasn't planning on stopping by but the smell of waffle cones lured us to try it. I got a lemon raspberry swirl base with strawberry fruit, lemon curd, and graham cracker topping. It was really well balanced and refreshing. The lemon curd added a nice tang, and the graham cracker added a great texture that tied everything together. The fruit we picked worked really well without being too sweet. Seating is limited to outdoors only, but the staff was very friendly, and I highly recommend coming! read more
I couldn't tell if the long line for this place was because it was right next to The Bouldering Project (while a bunch of people were still inside) or if it's just that popular. After having their ice cream, it's safe to say the latter is probably more true. I got here at around 9pm on a Tuesday night, got to the front to order at around 9:30pm and got my order 5 minutes later. This place is in Wallingford and not too far off from Fremont, so good luck finding any sort of street parking... You get a choice to get the ice cream as a soft-serve or in a cone. Then you can choose what base you want for your ice cream, two kinds of locally grown fruit for your soft serve, and then any toppings you want. You'd have to look really closely at the menu (located near the front) to see that bananas and mangoes are also part of the fruit list. I decided to get a strawberry mango sweet cream base in a waffle cone, and add lemon curd per my server's recommendation. This came to almost $9 for the whole thing, which isn't too bad. There's some outside roofed seating nearby to use as well. The cone is pretty big, the cream is really good and all the flavors hit at the same time for me here! There was a clear, distinct taste of both strawberry and mango, when I thought that the strawberry would overpower the mango. The lemon curd added an extra citrusy spike to my ice cream, which pairs very well with how sweet the soft serve already is. The strawberry banana was a high recommendation from some people when I was standing in line, so that might be something I try next time I'm here! read more
We walked by around 8:30pm and decided to come back later because the line was so long and thought that it might fizzle out. We thought the long line might be related to people leaving the climbing gym, but it was not. We came back around 9:30pm and the line was even longer!! We actually ended up being the last people in line and had to hold this sign so that no one would get in line behind us--a very difficult job, as this place seems to have blown up on social media. Probably needed to break the bad news to about 20 people who arrived after 9:30pm (it was a Wednesday evening). Important to note: they close at 10:00pm, but apparently bring this sign out every night at exactly 9:30pm to ensure they close on time. In terms of the ice cream, personally, I was not super impressed. It wasn't all that flavorful, but maybe this just isn't my thing. I got banana, strawberry, and chocolate drizzle with a sweet cream base. The staff were very friendly, efficient, and accommodating. Props to them for dealing with many entitled people that pushed their way to the front to ask for an exception to the line being closed. Overall a good experience, I just wasn't a huge fan of the ice cream. Ambiance was great on a warm, sunny evening. read more

My husband and I both love fruit flavored ice creams so we were very excited to try! It's definitely more of a natural flavor than some artificial fruit flavored ice creams but really good and refreshing. The toppings and waffle cone really made it so I would definitely recommend adding those! There was a pretty long wait but they were nice and working hard to move the line along! They were sadly out of eyes which I think are so fun in other review photos! read more
Went to Many Bennies for the first time the other week! The staff walked me through how to order and let me sample flavors! I was so happy with how mine turned out and I highly recommend! This is located right next to a bouldering gym, and is the perfect sweet treat after climbing with friends! read more
The ice cream here was absolutely delicious. I ordered a vanilla with Mango mixed in and coconut chip and lemon curd Toppings. Fantastic. The lemon curd was tart, the coconut chips were crispy. Their waffle cone was the best cone I've ever had. It's thinner than most and stays perfectly crisp. The ice cream is soft, smooth, and not too sweet. The customer service is also fantastic. The line was long but they were efficient. They also tried to give people a heads up when they were low on ice cream. It's not easy to walk up to a long line and let people know that you're running low, and do it again when even more people line up. Perhaps, to help the employees, they can find a sign that indicates they're running low so people don't keep filing in line. It is a little pricey on my budget, but I thought the product and service validated the cost. They have lots of outdoor seating but it was also nice to walk around the cute neighborhood while eating some ice cream. Prepare to do laps for a parking spot if you're driving. I'll be back to try the lavender base and get more punches on my punch card (: read more

Overall, great freshly made New Zealand ice cream! You can choose a vegan or sweet cream base, then the fruits! They have some seasonal options (like mango). They also give free lactose pills! I enjoy coming here for ice cream! In the beginning, there was always a long line, but now it's a quick line! Parking is free, if you can get it! But if you search long enough, something will open up! read more

The line for this place is always insanely long, so be ready to wait! They really blew up over social media and the nonstop positive reviews had me wanting to try it for so long. I've never had New Zealand style ice cream before, and this was a really pleasant experience. I came on a Thursday evening and while the line didn't look too bad, we still ended up waiting around an hour. I ended up choosing the vegan coconut base with strawberries and blackberries mixed in, and coconut flakes on top. The ice cream itself was really good - it was so fresh and smooth and flavorful at the same time! I also got a waffle cone, which was nice and fresh. While it was really good ice cream, I wouldn't wait an hour again for it. It's definitely worth trying though! read more

Honest 3.5 rounded up. Pretty overhyped with the social media craze but tasty. New Zealand ice cream has been available in South Seattle, but pretty inconvenient for most of the foodies around Seattle or up north, which is why I think Many Bennies exploded over social media. Worth trying, but probably not returning constantly for the value. We tried each ice cream base (sweet cream, vegan vanilla, and lavender) as well as three different fruits (blackberry, mango, and banana). It's nice to have freedom of choice, so bonus points there. To appreciate the blend of ice cream and fruit, I'd say the base must be sweet cream or vegan vanilla. Lavender as the ice cream base just overwhelms any other flavor. Similarly, banana as the fruit tends to be pretty powerful and drowns out the base. Banana was great, but a very dense and thick flavor of a green banana (you'll understand if you try). read more

You just can't get this type of ice cream anywhere else in the city!!! It's so refreshing and delicious. I love this place. Only downside is that the line gets pretty long and there's no indoor seating (just a covered patio with the side). But that said, it's worth it! read more
After trying real fruit ice cream for the first time in Port Angeles, we decided to visit Many Bennies the next weekend. This was at 4PM on Saturday, and there was a huge line down the block and around the corner. It took us about 20 minutes to reach and front, and another 3 minutes or so for them to prepare our ice cream. We saw them making the ice cream through the window - it looked like a medium sized scoop of ice cream, then two smaller scoops of fruit; about a 1:1 ratio I'd say. The only have two machines, so they make the lighter fruit treats (banana, mango, strawberry) in one, and the darker ones (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry) in the other. They don't clean the machine between servings, so there will be some contamination; don't be surprised! I think this is normal operating procedure for New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream shops, at least from my experience from the two that I've visited (neither in NZ though). I love how they supply lactase pills for those of us unlucky to be stricken with lactose intolerance! Such a nice gesture. They also make their waffle cones in house! Cup, Sweet Cream Base, Mango ($6) - I thought the Port A ice cream was good, but this one is on another level. It's so smooth and rich, with a fatty and silky mouthfeel that coats the entire mouth with each lick. It's almost like a frozen custard in texture. It's blended until the mango chunks are completely incorporated, giving a good mango flavor without any chunks to break up the lush texture. The mango is typical frozen mango that's on the tangy side rather than a fully ripe sweet mango (although colder foods are less sweet due to the taste buds not being able to sense sweetness as well). This is a stellar ice cream. I'd love to know where they get their ice cream base from if they don't make it themselves. Given the quality of the blend, the base must also be excellent. (5/5) They didn't include the famous googly eyes in our ice cream - I didn't see any customer receive them, so I guess they ran out for the day? I wonder if my experience with the smoothness of the ice cream had to do with the mango? Perhaps going with blueberry, as I did with the place in Port Angeles, would make it icy and chunky? I don't know the answer, but I'm excited to find out the next time I visit Many Bennies! read more
Really average tasting ice cream. This place is definitely overhyped. Not sure why the lines are so long. You can order up to two flavors. Theres decent amount of seats. Theres street parking. I was able to finally try it after 3 attempts. I ordered the blackberry and strawberry flavor. It mostly tasted like blackberry. It also tasted like banana near the end. My friends also ordered different flavors, but they all tasted like banana. This makes me question the hygiene between each customer. It seems like they don't clean it that thoroughly. read more

My partner and i came around 8:30p and they seemed to have sold out? there was a person at the end…
yes unfortunately they do. I had to visit multiple times before I could try this place because they would sell out before closing.
