Sweet Alchemy Ice Creamery: Seattle's Top Ice Cream Destination

This place is AMAZING! We stumbled on it looking for coffee on the Ave during the winter holiday break when many of the cafes in this area are closed. The ice cream is INCREDIBLE! Perfection! Impeccable creative flavorful and the perfect smooth creamy mouth-feel. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They also participate in a re-usable cup program and all of their disposables are compostable. Cute decor, friendly enthusiastic folks, so impressed. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

The ice cream is spectacular here. Super cold, sweet and packed to the punches with flavor. No regrets! Go get it when U see their open sign.

i genuinely am not a huge fan of ice cream, but this spot was SO good! for starters, you can add as many flavors as you want into any size cup of your choice, i went with thai iced tea, banana nutella crunch, and sweet cream. thoroughly enjoyed the unique flavors and variety here, and the ice cream had a great texture and taste! staff was super friendly and helpful, and while i wish there was seating inside, the ambiance is really cool (check out my photos) ice cream was definitely what i'd consider expensive for the sizes, but if you're looking for a sweet treat, or even sharing one perhaps -- i can see it having decent value. it is also a quintessential seattle spot to try with tons of unique flavors, so id factor that into the price as well. but overall, massive points for having unique flavors that taste good, being not overly sweet or overpowering, having great texture, and making this frozen custard / froyo lover thoroughly enjoy his ice cream :) would recommend! definitely a spot to come and try. overall: 9/10 taste: 10/10 price: 8/10 rounding to 5 stars cause they deserve it :)

One of Seattle's top ice cream spots with a chill vibe. They've got a huge variety of unique flavors and tons of options to hit the spot for any craving. As an ice cream lover, I love that you can mix multiple flavors in any cup size. The staff was friendly and informative about the different flavors.

I LOVE this place, it's an amazing ice cream stop for the warmer months! The flavors are always so good, and I like how you can get multiple flavors in any size cup! I got the blueberry lavender and Persian rose flavors together to look like the UW colors :) it was very flavorful and you could taste all the florals and aromatics which can sometimes get overpowered by stronger flavors. The owner was super sweet, I ran into her later while she was doing a product photo shoot and she was so nice and told me about the flavors she was promoting which did not disappoint! Every time I've come here I've been impressed! I guess I'll have to keep tasting the new flavors every season!

Love their ice cream! My husband and I went first tried their location in Cap Hill and saw this one! This location is great because you can sample one flavor. Service was friendly and patient while we made our choices. The inside is also a lot bigger and they have more options and things to choose from. We had the sweet cream and the Makgeolli flavor both very yummy!

Came back during the U district street fair and they had new flavors! We tried dark chocolate, perisian rose and capital coffee and all three were great !!

I can't remember what flavors I ordered but the ice cream was very smooth! I really liked the texture of it and the unique flavors! There's not a lot of room in the store, but it's a super cute place. Definitely recommend this place if you're in Seattle!

In a word - Yummers! I have not come across such a wide variety of unusual flavors. But first the ambience. Charming, clean, with attention to detail. The staff are friendly and provide thorough information regarding flavor profiles. They do not offer samples, but will put several scoops into one cup. I tried black sesame (wow - so different!), Persian rose (a delicate perfume), and Sakura which was a tribute to the cherry blossom festival. The line moves quickly (even foe those of us WIP are indecisive) and pricing is fair. I'll be back!

We got two ice cream sandwiches and it was the ratio of cookie to ice cream that I'd change a bit. Adding a bit more ice cream and less thickness to the cookie would make it more of an ice cream sandwich. The workers were very nice and it's a cute spring atmosphere inside. Unfortunately they don't give samples- another reason it's 4 stars not 5...bc I would rather commit to a flavor that I know will be tasty. Everything is compostable there and they have divided areas to toss everything which is great. As for the ice cream sandwiches- one mint chip with chocolate chunk cookies and one sweet cream with monster cookies. The thickness of the chocolate chunk cookie smooshed the ice cream so it was oozing out all sides but the monster cookie didn't have the same thickness to force the sweet cream out everywhere. The mint ice cream was a bit too minty and not enough chip but the sweet cream was a nice flavor with the chosen cookies. Later my blood sugar spiked so I know it had a bunch of sugar inside. Might come back if I'm in the area.
