I've read about some gelato places, but I want a place that sells creative, homemade ice cream. I don't mean anything like Coldstone. An example (if you've ever been to the Boston area) would be Christina's in Inman Sq. or the former Denise's in Davis Sq. or Herrel's or Lizzie's. I miss local ice cream joints :( Sat Sep 15 21:12:24 -0700 2007 55398 sheitoon 1 2945539 I like Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream in Maltby (15 min east of Bothell). The factory is next to the shop.

I would try the gelato places while you are here (Gelatiamo, for example) and the trio of mini ice cream sandwiches at Crush.

The cucumber sorbet was delicious (esp. in a gin and tonic) and the sweet basil is equally nummy. Sun Sep 16 18:44:37 -0700 2007 2945402 102157 jaydeflix 1 2947592 Thanks for the suggestions.. I'll definitely have to check them out. Sweet basil - very interesting! Sun Sep 16 22:16:06 -0700 2007 2945402 55398 sheitoon 2 2949760 Check out the ice cream sold at Fran's in U Village. The lemon is out of this world, and I like the burnt sugar quite a lot also. They have a few other flavors. Unfortunately not IN the city but look at the website for Mora Ice Cream on Bainbridge and in Bellevue. It sounds like what you're after.

They did a Sweet Corn ice cream that tasted like...well, fresh sweet corn. Not a hint of that oversweetened, sugary or artificial flavoring ick that is in most grocery store brands. I think they are based in Queen Anne.

Hard ice cream, organic, good ingredients, and they use their own berries. Raspberry, blueberry, vanilla (amazing), chocolate, strawberry, and I think one or two other flavors. It's made me stop missing (finally) the homemade ice cream at an orchard in the middle of nowhere Ohio. It's really delicious. http://www.marblemount.com/cfarm/ Tue Sep 18 16:55:37 -0700 2007 2945402 11377 seattledebs 1 2954149 Husky Deli in West Seattle. Don't know if it's 100% homemade, but very good nonetheless. Tue Sep 18 18:32:14 -0700 2007 2945402 128404 nonbei
