Have I ever told you how much I love Lavendar flavored ice cream? And Yo! Friday Harbor's double scoop of this fragrant deliciousness didn't disappoint. While waiting for the departing ferry at Friday Harbor, we left our car parked in the ferry queue and hoofed it a few blocks to this cute little ice cream shop. The staff were super friendly - summer vacation kids working tourist season - but they were kind, engaged, and knowledgeable about flavor selection. And, oh my goodness... the flavors to choose from! This shop serves Lopez Island Creamery ice cream, and if you can, always opt for the seasonal flavors. They had Blackberry Lavender, Lavender, Mountain Huckleberry, Strawberry Fudge Brownie and more. I opted for 2 scoops of Lavender and was not disappointed! Cold, creamy, oh-so fragrant, but without an overpowering medicinal lavendar taste. It was perfect, and so refreshing in the hot summer sun. Make sure you take an opportunity to get some Lopez Island Creamery products while visiting the San Juan Islands. I saw their products available in grocery stores and several restaurants, but do support Yo! Friday Harbor if you can. It's conveniently located next to the ferry and you just can't beat that! read more

Lopez island ice cream served daily! With an hour to wait for the ferry it was only natural on a sunny day to crave the creamy goodness of ice cream. I hopped out of my car and right over to Yo! The huckleberry/blackberry ice cream here is a must! Even though you can now buy Lopez Island ice cream in pints in most Seattle grocery stores, somehow it tastes better fresh scooped by somebody else! Prices were reasonable and the service was A+! read more

We took a quick day trip from Whidbey Island to Friday Harbor while on vacation. This was a great stop for ice cream and so much more!! It feels like your typical tourist stop for ice cream but they had so much more! Souvenirs of course but cute little gift items as well. The ice cream was perfect for the warm afternoon walking around Friday Harbor. read more

Delicious ice cream just a short walk away from the Ferry terminal. We got a double scoop cup with lavender vanilla and skagit strawberry. Both flavors were absolutely delicious! Make sure to look all the way down the line too, they have so many flavors at the end that we missed. The staff was very friendly and allows samples depending on the crowd. We took our ice cream and enjoyed it at the harbor! read more

Don't let the Yelp business description or the name 'Yo!' fool you, they do not sell frozen Yogurt here! The staff ignored us when we walked in and then acted pretty annoyed when we asked if they have frozen yogurt. read more

We had to have ice cream while on holiday and found this place. It's a cute store that carries a few other items, along with ice cream, coffee etc. They carry Lopez Island creamery ice cream. I got a chocolate caramel sundae, hubby got the chocolate truffle. We loved our ice cream, delicious, creamy and not too sweet. I liked the ice cream so much I had to come back today before we left the island. I got Pecan Praline today and loved it. My husband got a mocha and liked it. During both our visits the place wasn't busy and we didn't have to wait long. read more

THE best ice cream in FH. Whatever you do, don't just stand in line for the overpriced grocery store quality ice cream next to ferry terminal--yuck. Those people are also often grumpy. Walk 1 1/2 blocks up the street and around the corner to get the best ice cream (Lopez) from some very nice people. read more

My first ever bubble tea! The staff was very helpful and so friendly while answering my questions. It was quite busy but they did a great job moving people along quickly without making you feel rushed. I'd return if (when) I find myself back in Friday Harbor. read more

We stopped here for a treat. I only do non dairy and they had some tropical non dairy ice cream. Wow was this wonderful. It really hot the spot and was needed. This is a good spot to have in town. I'm happy had a chance to try it out. Daughter got a milkshake and she said it was delicious read more

Many flavors from which to chose and not just usual flavors. I had chocolate truffle (REALLY chocolatey) and coffee caramel chip. Delish!! Local. Friendly staff and allow up to 3 samples (lots of signs so clearly some people abused). read more

They have a number of non-dairy options. Outstanding plant-based chocolate. The salted caramel is excellent, too.

If you have a sweet tooth while waiting for the ferry at Friday Harbor, walk up the hill to this sweet shop! They have ice cream from Lopez Island Creamery which is absolutely fantastic, especially the blueberry and the java chip. They also have a wide selection of candies, and although I didn't try it I saw they have bubble tea too. read more

I have been looking forward to trying Lopez Island Creamery ice cream for a few years now. I saw some where I rented a kayak on Orcas, but the day didn't work out for us to try it there. So, while we waited for our ferry to get to Friday Harbor, I fired up the Yelps and found this spot just a block from where we had parked to wait. It's exactly what you would hope for in a small touristy shop--a little bit of old school candy, a little bit of novelty candy, and of course the start of the show, the ice cream. I'm gathering that it might be busy here sometimes, but since the COVID environment has tourism way down, we only had one party in front of us and we got right in. Speaking of COVID, the whole island is taking it very seriously so we had masks as did staff, and there is plenty of hand sanitizer around. We stepped up and had to choose quickly--I went with Skagit Strawberry and my girlfriend chose the s'mores variety. Both were really good, and I think we both left thinking that the other one had ordered the better variety. I will say, they are more about smooth texture, as none of the varieties in the case seemed to have large chunks, and they were all more subtle colors. I would guess there aren't many vibrant dyes being used. They have a froyo section in the back, but it was not currently running as I think the serve yourself situation with COVID probably makes it impractical. All in all, a nice enough experience. The staff was efficient, if nothing else. They probably see a lot of people every day and aren't prone to being very chatty, so we got in and got out quickly enough. read more

Please walk the few extra steps to front street to get your delicious local ice cream. Avoid the one by the ferry terminal. Yo! Friday harbor proudly serves Lopez island creamery ice cream. The huckleberry and chocolate were the best I've ever had! The waffle cones was perfect! The portion size was perfect! The staff is super friendly and I was in and out of shop in under 10 min. Prices were reasonable. And the ice cream was to die for!! Definitely will be back!! read more

1) owner is not pleasant 2) no frozen yogurt during covid 3) we were probably the only customers she saw all day but when my husband asked her to mix two flavors in one cup she said " normally i dont do that but i will make the exception " ! Get over yourself.. your ice cream is not even good.. you have no clients.. you offer ice cream.. just do it and be nice it doesnt cost you more and then dont make us feel like its a big favor lol read more

So glad we walked over to this one based on a local's recommendation! The ice cream was delicious. Had other items too, milkshakes, bubble tea...Also, it is a neat little store set up with some other treats/souvenirs. *extra note- one of the seemingly popular/crowded places down on the harbor only takes cash. Perk of this one, is it's just a walk away and also accepts card if you don't have cash! read more

Our kayaking guide recommended this place for getting local ice cream in Friday Harbor. Yo! sells ice cream made by Lopez Creamery, which comes from a neighboring island in the San Juans. The employees were welcoming and friendly and let us try samples! I tried the huckleberry and the green tea, but ultimately went with the Skagit strawberry! A scoop of ice cream was kind of pricey being almost $4 - I guess these are Island prices. It was a generous scoop though? The spoon was pretty cute. Overall a cute shop and a good dessert option for local artisanal ice cream! read more

I had the three scoop bowl. Wow! The scoops were huge. Latte chip, chocolate truffle and salted caramel were my choices and all were delicious. The service was friendly. read more

This place is PACKED!! The setup is kinda lacking. You look at your ice cream selections and order but have to turn the corner to pay. And just as you think you're making way to the register, there's a group of people or chairs/tables in the way. I think they might need more registers too to help with the mass that comes in. Regardless, their ice cream is the bomb.com! Earl grey is so so yummy! You gotta try it! read more

I devoured my ice cream so quickly there was no way that pictures could be taken! This cute ice cream shop near the Friday Harbor ferry terminal serves Lopez Island Creamery ice cream. Unfortunately there are no samples and no froyo but I do appreciate that they are playing it safe due to covid. I enjoyed my London Fog and Blackberry Lavender ice cream and would suggest anything with lavender in it since we're in close proximity to lavender farms. You'll also find a small corner of the shop dedicated to a florist, candy, postcards, local candy, and a variety of packaged popcorn flavors. read more

Don't get the boba. It's just powder and water. It tasted like a warm, thick, melted milkshake. Gross. What a waste of $8. Ice cream/sorbet is ok. Overpriced and not worth it. read more

We had such a wonderful experience at this shop last evening, I felt obligated to take the time to write a review! I checked out reviews from other island Yelpers prior to choosing Yo! to fulfill our ice cream cravings. So glad I did! The customer service was outstanding, the girl serving us was friendly & helpful. We were offered many samples to try; she was patient with us since deciding on a flavor wasn't easy! My husband chose London Fog (vanilla base with Earl Grey flavor), my son picked something that had cookies in a peppermint base. I chose lime sorbet, and it tasted just like a margarita! The ice cream is made locally with no added colors - and it was excellent. There is also self serve yogurt available, but only 3 of 6 flavors were available when we went. There are a few tables inside, none outside, but plenty of places close by to sit & enjoy the view of the harbor. Go to Yo! read more

DELICIOUS ICE CREAM, AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE: The ice cream they sell here is to die for!! I tried their Skagit Strawberry, Decidedly Chocolate, and Maple Nut. They were all DELICIOUS - just the right amount of sweet, perfectly flavored (the Maple Nut had pieces of maple nuts), and the right amount of softness! This will now be my must stop every time I visit San Juans! Their customer service is out of this world! Because Yelp had messed up their hours and location on the map, I had to give them a call to ask where they were located. The lady that answered the phone (Miechelle, owns the place) said they were closed and gave me the correct location/hours. As I walked back to my car, I ran into her. She had shut down the store and was about to leave - we had a quick chat and as soon as she found that I was leaving the island shortly, she opened the store and gave me all the ice cream I wanted!!! Location: I have submitted the correct co-ordinates to Yelp (and uploaded a photo of the place so they believe me). Basically, it's on 1st St right next to this store called Pelindaba Friday Harbor (look em up on Yelp, their location is correct). read more

Ordered a "cold brew" and got a few pumps of coffee syrup in milk... this should be disclosed before you order a "cold brew".

We stopped here for ice cream before heading to the ferry. They have a nice variety of flavors including lavender ice cream made with lavender grown on the island. I got a double scoop waffle cone with salted caramel and decidedly chocolate, both delicious. My husband also got a double scoop waffle cone with chocolate peanut butter and rocky road, I assume he liked it because he didn't say much until it was gone! The ice cream is rich and high quality and the scoops are large. Two scoops was a little much for me (though I think my husband was very satisfied with his!) They have kids cups too with a slightly smaller scoop which our nephews enjoyed and was a perfect amount to satisfy them. The store sells other items as well like little gifts or souvenirs but I didn't spend too much time looking around. This stop was all about the ice cream! Thank you Yo Friday Harbor, you did not disappoint! read more

I was so bummed when I went in today, got frozen yogurt and bubble tea, only to be disappointed. The frozen yogurt tasted sour and rotten but it was too late because we'd already bought it. When we told the lady, she dismissed it. As for the bubble tea, it is not great. The "tea" is just powder blended with ice and it shows. The drink was very grainy. Maybe I'm just picky because I work at a boba shop where we actually make the boba fresh and the tea but the frozen yogurt was also horrible. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

The iced coffee drink was was more ice than drink. Lopez Island ice cream was okay. Average sized scoops.

Go here if you're looking for ice cream! Don't go to the other place right downtown. This place has superior ice cream quality, friendly staff, takes cards and is overall a great (albeit crowded) dessert stop! read more

Got off the boat, needed ice cream fast. Yelped my way to this place and it was excellent, but frankly overpriced. Maybe there is a reason to charge over $7 for two scoops of ice cream but I'm having a hard time thinking of it...other than, they can...and idiot tourists like me pay it. Passed a place down towards the water where two scoops was $5. Nice. Again, ice cream was good, but beware the prices. read more

Oh my oh my oh my... This place was AMAZING! The lavender vanilla ice cream and the cookies and peppermint were the best. Both were absolutely delicious and the woman behind the counter was super sweet and talkative. We loved Yo! read more

Yummy ice cream! From Lopez Island Creamery. We kept coming back for more! Small trinkets and chocolates available as well a flower gift shop! All in one place. Definitely a favorite. Thank you! read more

Delicious ice cream & milk shake, but impossible to find if you follow Google map!! I walked almost 3 blocks from Google map direction only to turn around, walked pass the Marina and back and went into another store (The Bean cafe) and asked about this place -- turns out it was almost the next door to The Bean Cafe!! Service was just ok - but you can't beat the ice cream, though. read more

Amazing Ice Cream. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended. Peanut Butter Cup was a huge hit. read more

Amazing local flavors, wish I had multiple nights to indulge in the licorice, blackberry lavender, creamy coconut. The lady at the counter was super friendly and let us sample multiple flavors. Great place for an ice cream! read more

I write this review with full knowledge that this store seems to be primarily focused on frozen yogurt and ice cream, but when I was craving a bubble tea I was very disappointed. The drink appeared to be made of a powdered flavoring blended with ice to give it a thicker consistency. Looked promising based on initial appearance, but the flavor was absolutely terrible. Tasted like dirty water with the smallest hint of coconut. I took a few sips, but wasn't able to choke down any more than that. A waste of $5. Based on other reviews, it seems that everything else sold here is up to par, but I won't be coming back to give it a try. read more

Stopped in especially to try Lopez Island brand ice cream--awesome. Intriguing flavors, all natural, and ultra delicious. I had chocolate chocolate chip ice cream, and all I can say is--WOW. Super chocolate deliciousness. DS had the cinnamon ice cream, and loved it. I sampled the blackberry ice cream and next time I go, that's what I'm getting--super blackberry flavor. We liked the shop, too: pleasant store, spacious enough, with yogurt and toppings as well as ice cream and chocolate for sale. You could get your ice cream in a regular cake cone, a sugar cone, or a small waffle cone, all for the same price. And the storeclerk was super friendly, patient with all our sampling, and helpful. (And--they take credit cards, thanks to Square.) Go check this place out when you're in town. read more

After some poor service at another ice cream shop that made us leave without making a purchase, we were left still with the craving. We wandered into this place and not only were we greeted by a great employee but she offered us a giant sample before we even asked! The ice cream is from a local creamery which made it even better! The flavors all sounded so inviting but I settled on some island coconut delicious-ness. They also have frozen yogurt. And only getting one scoop was a good idea because it was a GIANT scoop! read more

should've read the other reviews first.. dont order boba tea here. the mint tea was actually tea with mint syrup in it and it did not taste edible. ive never sent anything back anywhere before but it was really not right. service was good though, and they seemed to have good candy selection read more

The ice cream was amazing. The flavor was really rich and the ice cream was very creamy. The coffee was really good. And the lady was very kind. Super cool store! read more

AMAZING Ice Cream! Stopped in for a scoop while I was on the Island and I'm so glad I did. There was a large selection of flavors ranging from the traditional to the more creative (Earl Grey tea flavor for instance). The staff was super friendly and was nice enough to let me try a few flavors before deciding what to get. A double cone was plenty for two people. As an added bonus all their Ice-Cream flavors use natural flavorings and colors. They also have fudge and frozen yogurt available. read more
