This particular ice cream store is located inside the Highland Park Corner Store in West Seattle, and has very few parking spots at the front, so I used street parking nearby on a Friday around 4pm to get here. While the outside has two or so small tables with chairs for seating, the inside has much more of that. For this particular ice cream area, it's located to the right-hand side of the corner store, and has a more colorful decor that contrasts with the dull white walls and grey floors of the interior. Staff was really helpful when I let them know it was my first time coming in here for their New Zealand-style ice cream, and when she gave me her recommendations.
According to a paper advertising this place, you pick your base (sweet cream for dairy or coconut cream for non-dairy), type of cone, flavors (or fruits to blend in), and toppings (sprinkles are free!). The paper also mentions that they used shared equipment - which sounds a little like cross-contamination among fruits that they use - but I really appreciate that they let us know that before consuming. Staff get the ice cream out real fast here too!
I grabbed myself a strawberry and banana mix with a cream base and sprinkles all on a waffle cone. It feels small when you hold it but the ice cream was a tad heavy for its looks so you're getting a lot here. Overall ice cream was really creamy which melted quickly under the sun as some other patrons before me mentioned in passing when I got here, but sweetness profile was on point. I could taste both the strawberry and banana parts, and the cream base is relatively smooth. I was able to enjoy this outside at the tables in the shade. read more
