12 Best Ice Cream Shops near Tumwater

“I stopped going to dairy queen becuase of a few bad repeat expierences and just decided it wasn't worth the money. However, my girlfriend and I where just really craving a good flamethrower burger so we decided to give this place a shot. When going through the drive through we felt a little rushed but after looking up the times we figured out this was becuase it was 15 minutes before closing. We felt bad, and figured this was going to be another bad dairy queen expierence. Let me tell you how wrong I was. The staff had us pull off to the side, made use fresh fries and where extremely friendly when giving us our food. This had to be the best flamethrower burger I have ever had and this expiernce alone has made me return as a dairy queen customer. At least to this store.“

“Very delectable gelato! I bought a cardamom and key lime milkshake and it was divine. The flavors of the gelato are refreshing/unique. The staff working there was very nice and helpful and provided recommendations and let me try some gelato I was stumped on, which I appreciated. Highly recommend this place.“

“So many flavor combos. I loved Thai ice tea with brown sugar boba. Daughter got honeydew milk tea with poppings and loved it. My son got ice cream with lots of toppings. Great service. Asked the kids how many stars out of five and my son said a thousand.“

“OM Gosh... this place just opened a mile from my place. I chose my birthday to try them for the first time. I have to preface that with the fact that I'm new to Tumwater and had not tried them from another location. Quick and Clean service. The ice cream.... OMG Drool worthy. I tried the Banana Cream Pie with real 'Nilla Wafers and the Raspberry Jam Lemon My dad is a simple vanilla guy so the 2x Vanilla is an easy choice!I foresee me spending a lot of time walking here for the indulgence“

“Painted plate is so fun! Weekdays are best because there's no rush to paint. They have great coffee and nice snacks!! It's the perfect outing and the pricing is really good. To paint this one piece it was only $30 for the whole painting experience (paint, plate, and materials)“

“They had more than one flavor of dairy-free ice cream. They use coconut milk for their dairy-free flavors. For the first time in decades, I had a commercial milkshake. I have only been able to have milkshakes at home since college. They used oat milk with the coffee chip coconut ice cream. It was creamy and delicious. The staff were so kind to us. Since they were not busy, they allowed my friend and me to talk for hours. Thank you, for allowing me to connect with a friend after several loss these past two weeks. Visited 11/4/2022.“

“Store is clean and friendly. Almost all the staff are friendly and nice but one lady. Every time she's working, she's patronizing, snarky, and rude. I've actually turned around and left a time or two when I see that she's working. Sometimes, you just don't want to deal with it. At my age, I know how fro-yo works.“

“Crazy enough when I was younger there were a lot more locations in Olympia and Tumwater. Now they all shut down unfortunately and this is the last one remaining. I was told they would at some point they would bring more locations back but that was roughly 2 years ago when I was given that information, don't know what the current status is on that. I definitely love coming here and hope to dear God this place stays open and doesn't become next to shut down!“

“All I have to say is that it was the best service I've ever had at an ice-cream parlor. Shout-out to Elliott he was amazing and went above and beyond to help me. I was not able to tip him but I hope everyone knows this is the location to go to! He was the kindest nicest most helpful person in general I've met today! So thank you basket and Robbins I had a great experience and I definitely will be coming back!! Thank you Elliot and I apologize if I spelled the name wrong.!!“
