Full Tilt Ice Cream

I do not understand all the great reviews here. The staff was nice and all but the ice cream was just terrible. It had chunks of ice in it and was super watery within minutes of being scooped. The flavors were mediocre at best. I got the Roxbury Road and it was grainy, with soggy bland walnuts in it and barley tasted like chocolate. The salted caramel my partner got was also grainy and super melted. The flavor was okay I guess but too salty. For $5.25 a single scoop, I expect this to at least be better than the grocery store basic ice cream and not something we threw away after a couple of bites. Wanted to really like this place but just couldn’t.

if you love ice cream and aren’t fancy then this is your place. there is just something sort of wholesome about a local place that isn’t trying to satisfy that seattle bouginess. they have simple (choc, vanilla etc.) to unique (ube, salted popcorn) flavors. not gonna lie, some of the flavors are a pass for me but it’s really fun to try all of the new and inventive stuff! Plus, vegan ice (cream ?). They always have an assortment of vegan ice creams available that are totally worth trying even if you do consume dairy.

I really love Full Tilt Ice Cream as a product (Thai Tea - yum!). However, I’ve come by this location 3 or 4 times in the past year and I don’t think I’ll be back again. The smell when you walk in has always had an odd mildew/wet smell to it that makes it rather unappetizing. I come later in the day so maybe this is because they have mopped recently, but it’s pretty strong when you walk in. The staff can either be super friendly or a bit like you’re inconveniencing them (already closing up 45 minutes before posted close time). I’d love to come here more often and will try again later, but pretty disappointed by the in business experience. I’ll stick to getting the pints from other locations from now on.
