Came here with dulcutie and I love that there is just enough seating arrangements at this location. I love more that there are little kiddy chairs and table to sit at. I never seen this at an ice cream shop since I have been living here in Washington state. Koi chocolate gelato okay...did not make my jaw drop. Hard to mess up on the chocolate flavors. Melted quick, too. Waffle cone was not good. Tasted cheap. I wish that I liked this place as much as I remember my first time being :/ read more

You can taste the difference between overly processed gelato and one made from good ingredients and Sofies Scoops is authentic! Great flavors and friendly staff! I just tried their banana gelato with chocolate chips and it was 10/10! read more

The gelato wasn't as out of this world as I'd hoped. There were only a few flavors, and while it was okay, I wish there were more to choose from. It tastes pretty watery, and I hoped it would be more like ice cream. The price was a bit high, and the portions definitely didn't match it. The people were nice and helped to the best of their ability. The place was also very neat and clean. read more

Sofie's Scoops Gelato is a good place in Olympia to swing by for gelato! It's in a building designed like a market area with several merchants there too so you can grab like some Mexican food for example and then swing by here for a sweet treat. I got a two flavor cup of gelato, the Sweet Cream and an Earl Grey fog flavor. The two blended together quite well and didn't make any unfortunate clashing upon the taste buds. Quite a few different flavors to pick from so that gives the place a good likelihood for return trips to explore for future trips. I am sure this place is quite popular during the summer months but a relative breeze with service during the cold months. read more

Five of us stopped, after dinner, at Sofie's Scoops for dessert. We had chocolate, mangoes 'n' cream, cardamom, salty butterscotch and coffee. Service was excellent. read more

Evoo gelato was sooooooo good! Never had this flavor before, so worth it! My daughters had coffee gelato and the chocolate gelato and both had rave reviews. Service was quick and super friendly! The ambiance is hipster chill vibes, love it! Had to pay for parking but for a quarter we got 17minutes. read more

A fun filled day at the Children's Museum needs to end with ice cream so we headed to Sofie's Gelato for something special. The first one I read was the Black Tea Rose Gelato and I was set. It has the strong taste of black tea but it's subtle and mainly sweet. I am a huge fan! I ordered mine in a cone and it was extra sweet and delicious, you'll definitely want one! My little toddler friend loved her vanilla gelato and sat quietly until it was all gone so we know it must have been really good! The location is small and there are other restaurants in this market yet the aroma of Sofie's Gelato takes over and is so magically sweet. It was closer to closing so there was a spot available for us to sit but I recommend grabbing a quick scoop to go. read more

We stopped here after a quick hike in the area. They have unique flavors that don't disappoint. There was a line at 3:00 in the afternoon!

I really can't believe I haven't reviewed Sophie's Scoops yet! WTH!?! Every time my hubs and I visit Olympia, or really drive anywhere near here, we stop at Sophie's for some of the best gelato in all of Washington. I love their Vegan Chocolate and fruit sorbettos and my hubs loves the Olympia Fog and Coffee gelatos. Always super creamy and flavorful. We have met the owner Sophie a few times and she is super nice and friendly. Wish their scoops were a bit more generous but that's my only criticism for a consistently delicious gelato shop that I really love! read more

My husband and I have been enjoying Sofie's wonderful gelato since she opened. The salted butterscotch is one of our favorites and the coffee flavor is also delicious. We love supporting local Olympia businesses. read more

We went here for gelato after a long, hot day at the kid's museum. I found this place through another review and was super excited to try it, considering I just returned from a two-week trip in Europe where I devoured gelato twice a day...it was hot! Sofie's has some unique flavors, and we tried some of them. They were all good. The kids all settled for vanilla and chocolate. I got the mango, and my sister went for the mint. It might be unfair to compare it to the ones I had in Europe, but it wasn't close. I would still recommend it to someone who hasn't tried gelato and wants an alternative to ice cream. read more

Excellent desserts. The taste, quality and variety are top notch. Organic oat milk, non-dairy ice cream options and the ability to satisfy customer's dietary restrictions is unsurpassed. I had the best chocolate "non-dairy" shake. It took me back to my childhood when shakes were made at the old school diner (thick, tasty, sweet enough and very rich). I know Olympia, WA does not have many hot temperature days, but when you are feeling the ice cream urge, check out Sofie's. PS. Did I mention the excellent customer service. They interact and will allow tastings. Amazing Service. read more

Interesting flavors of ice cream well crafted. The portions are small, but that's fine because who needs to get fat on the stuff? Leaves more room for trying more flavors! read more

Delicious gelato on a Saturday after pizza and the children's museum! Small is definitely enough for a kid or an adult, and our scooper offered to make the scoops a little smaller for the kids cone if desired. A fun stop and no wait! Interesting flavors - we tried chocolate, salty caramel, rhubarb, and mixed berry. Sampled fennel! Loved the stop and the shop is cute! read more

Pretty good gelato. Super cute setup. I love the decor and merch you can buy. The server wasnt very friendly. My mom is a big gelato fan so we get it as much as we can. Not the best gelato out there, but good. Still better than ice cream. The mango tajin was a fun flavor. I loved the mango, not a big fan of the tajin so i ended up getting the lemon. It was pretty good, but i wanted it to be more sour. It was a little sweeter than i like my lemon things. read more

It was about 105 degrees outside and this ice cream store came to the rescue. We had just finished our play time at the children's museum nearby. Everything and every place was closed due to the heat. What is a mom to do. Ice cream for lunch for sure. Lots of delicious flavors. We decided on pineapple, vanilla (it's called churned cream or something fancy), and strawberry. Creamy, delightful, and fresh. Line was literally wrapped around the building, there was ac inside but not strong enough for a day like that but you can only imagine how hot it was with the heat! My son approved and the only thing that sucks right now due to covid is that you're not allowed to sit and enjoy it there. No problem, we took it over to the nice hallway near the taco stand inside. I will definitely take my family here again to support a small business. read more

If you are craving some luscious, creamy gelato, this is your place to go! They are a cute little shop inside 222 Market (don't waste your time looking for their storefront - just head inside and you'll find it. They offer a nice selection of house-made, small-batch gelato in some very tasty flavors. I had the coffee stracciatella and salted butterscotch- both were divine. Hubby had the chocolate almond and cinnamon - also delish and they tasted great together. We ordered the medium cups and they were sweetly satisfying. Service was quick and friendly. I haven't found gelato many places in the area, but this one is worth a visit - or a re-visit! read more

Food - 4 Service - 5 Value - 4 We stopped here for a break on a 95 degree afternoon in Olympia. Service was great in letting us sample the flavors we were interested in. We ended up getting chocolate, black sesame, and strawberry. All of them were good, but were missing that special something to take this from a 4 to a 5. read more

stopped by one wintry afternoon for some icecream. The staff were friendly and we quickly decided on the ice cream flavors. I chose Olympia fog which was black tea and rose flavors. These were subtle flavors but it was really good. Kiddo chose Chocolate icecream. I think this was average (3.5 stars) and nothing amazing but overall it was good. read more

My friends and I came to Olympia for a quick day trip and we were recommended Sofie's Scoops by so many people and websites! Sofie's Scoops is located inside a market, so there are some other shops nearby as well. Even though we came on a rainy day, the line was still long, which means the gelato fits any type of weather. I decided to get the Olympia Fog and the Salted Butterscotch as a split scoop - note that they do the two scoops side by side rather than top and bottom, which is great since this way the flavors don't mingle too much. I didn't realize we could also get samples, but the cashier was gracious enough to let me try a sample even after I ordered. The service is quick, the shop is very cute, I would definitely come here again for a quick snack if I were back in town. read more

Delicious,"homemade" ice cream with wonderful, unusual flavors. We had Olympia fog, cookies and cream, creme fraiche with blackberries, and vanilla bean with passion fruit. Homemade cones too. There was a line out the door, but it moved fast due to excellent, efficient service. Great location in 222 Market, next to Chelsea's oyster house, Locust Cider, and Dos Hermanos Mexican kitchen. Dessert and dinner!Pleasant ambiance on a sunny day, listening to sounds of the sea nearby. I enjoyed looking at the artwork of masks created by local school students, while we waited. Olympia-is becoming more and more fun! We will return. read more

Ice cream is 10/10 Customer service 4/10 I always feel like I'm bothering the employees when I come in. We go at least 3-4 times a month (afternoon/evening time) and not once have we felt welcomed. I understand it's a shop with little space, parents letting their kids touch the glass when there's a sign that says not to, can hardly hear customer's order considering how loud the building is, short staffed, I get it. I've worked in the same environment. There are some frustrating things happening that can be very overwhelming/ overstimulating, but I have never made it obvious that I hate my job or my customers. My partner and I are nothing but nice to these ladies, and always tip very well, but I'm almost to the point where I'm going to stop tipping (because why am I rewarding bad customer service) or I'm just going to stop going... That's what it seems like they want! It's soooo uncomfortable. read more

Definitely had a few flavors that I haven't seen at other gelato places and I had to try those: Olympia fog, lavender blueberry, and aprium (apricot and plum). Ended up getting a small with lavender blueberry and aprium and while that was a good enough size for me, I was a bit disappointed at how much they put into the cup. Every gelato (and ice cream) place I've been to always put enough where it you could see it round/mound above the surface of the cup, but 1 flavor barely showed and the other was kinda sad. Not saying they need to give a whole lot but the amount I received honestly made me a bit sad. Refer to pic Otherwise great place and great flavors! read more

Heavenly.... I got half coffee w biscoff + half blackberry crumble..... the best ice cream ever. So creamy, great flavors + not overly sweet to where it over powers the flavor. I wish we were in Olympia longer to go back again, because we would be here every day! read more

Gelato is to die for! This place is very expensive so I suggest be ready when you go here. I ordered 2, one scoops which came to about $20.00. It is worth it though. The issue I had in mind was, there's only one long sitting place which is a bit awkward to sit when a group is already sitting there. I feel like my friend & I were whispering to each other the whole time. read more

Support this small business. Fresh locally made delicious gelato! Fruit flavors use fresh fruit from the farmers market,

Chocolate and fresh mint stracciatella gelato were delicious. Rich and refreshing on this sunny summer day. I also tried a sample of salty butterscotch, and it was great too. read more

They have a couple of really good vegan options that are soo good. And I think they cycle through them depending on the season. I mixed the chocolate and blackberry I think it was, and it tasted that a PBJ. I wish they had at least 1 or 2 more options, and maybe even compostable little spoons instead of the plastic. read more

I really enjoyed how friendly the staff were and the delicious flavors and textures of the gelato here. It's a little shop in the midst of a food hall but I think the flavors are interesting and have quite a bit of nuance. My favorites include the olympia fog which is a rose black tea flavor, a pineapple sorbet like flavor and anything with lemon. They incorporate the flavors into a smooth blended texture of ice cream which melts on the tongue at just the right pace. This is the type of ice cream I can probably have a full quart of and not feel gross. It is somehow light and does not weigh me down. It is a bit expensive but all boutique ice cream has gotten that way. One of the other things I praise from Sofie's Scoops is the waffle cone. I feel they have a great combination of crispy and warm and the vanilla flavor really compliments the ice cream. It is extra but so is Molly Moon's and I think Sofie's waffle cone recipe is much more palatable. read more

This is a great place. They had, I think, 12 flavors...all delicious. Some gelato and ice cream places can be overwhelming and just too much to deal with, but Sofie's has a limited number of exceptionally good (rotating) flavors, so customers don't spend all day deciding, and even when it's super busy the line moves pretty fast. The service is friendly and efficient, the prices are reasonable, and the gelato is perfection. My favorites so far are cinnamon, chocolate, mango/lime, and the cardamom (tastes like chai tea!). My husband loved the butterscotch, and the biscoffee. read more

Best gelato I've had outside of Italy! Great texture and on-point flavors. I tried cardamom and chocolate. Very friendly staff, too.

Not a big variety of flavors. But what we did get was delicious. Staff were super friendly

I've been to Sofie's a handful of times and wouldn't hesitate to suggest it to anyone looking for some great gelato! On my latest visit I went with half sweet cream and butterscotch. If I were to do it again I'd double down on the butterscotch. There isn't anything wrong with the sweet cream, but the butterscotch hits the sweet spot. $6 for a medium which in the gelato world is more than enough to get your full fix. Keep up the great work!!! read more

Sofie's Scoops Gelato - Half butterscotch/sweet cream - Gelato Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Food: Chocolate Gelato Presentation: Served in a cute metal cup Taste: One of the reasons I wanted to try this place is Sofie's Scoops uses Tunawerth Dairy (local). They deliver the milk to Sofie's. I was definitely not expecting the gelato to taste so different, but I think it's because of the milk. I can't describe it, but I've never had gelato that tasted that way before (and I've been to Italy). Texture: Melt in my mouth. Texture like any other gelato. Rich chocolate. Service: Super friendly lady helping me out. Parking: I walked over, so I'm not sure about parking. But it was downtown Olympia. Ambience and Decor: It was cutely decorated, but there was not a lot of seating. I didn't feel like I could sit there for hours having a conversation with my friends. Lots of families stopped by. read more
