Amazing flavor! - Edit
Our second time at Frankie and Jos, the first was in university area a year ago. This time we tried miso caramel & cardamom apple flavours in a waffle cone. A bit expensive, but such a nice treat. Really amazing flavours. Friendly staff. Cute spot, love the vibe. Parking was trickier than university spot.

Exquisite 🍦 - Edit
Creative creations and elevated classics. This place rocks! Brown sugar vanilla stole the show. California cabin is worth at least a taste (smoked vanilla and pine with cardamom cookies)! They were sensitive to asking about allergies, and everything is both vegan and gluten free.

Best Vegan Ice Cream and Very Cool Flavor Options - Edit
Vegan or not, this is the best ice cream experience you can hope to have. Every flavor is incredibly unique and high quality. Between the two of us we got to try the Strawberry Milk, the Salty Caramel Ash, Chocolate Tahini Supercookie, and the California Cabin, and all of them were incredible, I don’t know how I’d choose a favorite. Also, everything is gluten free, so if that’s at all a consideration for you - you’re good. And if you have a nut or coconut allergy, there’s clear allergen indicators on the menu telling you what you can/can’t have.
Read morePros: Very high quality/tasty, Wide variety of interesting and unique flavors, All vegan, all gf, clear allergen indicators

Delicious - Edit
Everything at Frankie & Joe’s is delicious. Everything is plant-based, so you have a lot to choose from. My all-time favorite is the Beet Strawberry Rose. I always test the flavor of the month too, and the staff are so friendly and are genuinely proud of their creations. 10 stars! #Veganuary

Interesting seasonal flavors - Edit
Tasty vegan ice cream. I enjoyed the variety of flavors, especially the fresh seasonal options. The waffle cones are very good! The downsides: some flavors' texture is pretty chalky/gritty, and I wish the prices weren't quite so high. We paid $31 for two waffle cones with tax and tip.

The only ice cream I eat - Edit
Their ice cream is more like gelato to me, which is why I like it so much. I frequented their Ballard location as often as I could, especially during Summer evenings when I could easily walk there. I am placing their online orders bc I love their delicious ice cream so much and I no longer live in Seattle. Nothing compares. And their waffle cones…oh my, I miss those. My favorite flavors are chocolate tahini supercokie & salty caramel ash. Every flavor I tried is amazing. Yum. They ship nation wide btw…

Ice cream was great, as expected, and the waffle cone made it a five star experience. Kind of like Van Leeuwen's but entirely vegan.

Amazing Vegan Ice Cream Shop - Edit
The service was excellent and so kind! I was able to try a bunch of flavors (recommend them all), but my favorites were definitely the Veracruz Vanilla (hurry, they get new flavors the first Wednesday of the month and it’s seasonal), California Cabin, and Strawberry Milk but ended up going with the Beet Strawberry Rose Sorbet because I wanted something summery.
Read moreWill totally come back! The waffle cones are made in-house and had a cinnamon hint to me but it could be the brown sugar. Yum!

Best ice cream of any kind I’ve had vegan or not - Edit
Unique flavors and the texture reminded me of premium local creamery style dairy ice cream from a certain famous creamery I used to go to in central PA. I had a seasonal lemon one 6 months ago and I’m still thinking about it.

Overrated but decent - Edit
Line was very long (~45 minute wait). Ice cream was good but not worth the wait. The flavors with things mixed in (like cookies, etc) are much better than their other flavors. (Burnt brown sugar ice cream just tastes like coconut vanilla.)

Hipster ice cream - Edit
Yes it’s hipster but it’s also very good. I went with the least- refined choices…brown sugar vanilla and mint brownie. Wow! So good! Waffle cone was fresh and delicious. A bit pricey but wow good!

Creamy! - Edit
The best tasting and textured vegan ice cream I have ever had. Had the California cabin in the little chunks of blondie or cake and it were so good. Get the waffle cone for sure, it was so delicious in the texture was perfectly crumbly and easy on the teeth.
