Full Tilt Ice Cream

Arrived about 1.5 hours before closing and there was a line out the door, roughly 15 people. No big, if it’s good it’s worth waiting for. However, what irked me was the worker leaving in the middle of a rush to step out for a smoke break leaving one girl behind the counter. My BF and I have both worked service industry and found this unacceptable. We left after 20 minutes of waiting and there were still about 9 people ahead of us.

The best chippy mint! I am thinking of it right now. I want some! I want some with crushed oreos. OR maybe made into a shake. So minty!

I tried the Ube flavor. It was good but does not taste like Ube. The only thing similar is the color.

Smore ice cream was off the hook. And don’t get me started on their in house made waffle cones! Sooo delicious. First time here and I became hooked

I was so happy walking up to a counter with such cheery and helpful workers!
I would recommend the salted caramel. Want to try the Mexican chocolate and thai tea next time.
The mud honey tastes more like cinnamon, and ube more like vanilla. I didn’t enjoy the blue moon too much.
But THEIR 4 scoop BOWL IS HUGE! I can share among 3 people!

Full tilt’s ice cream is cheap. They boast local homemade ingredients, but it’s all processed powdered flavoring. Staff is highly unprofessional. The manager told us how she fired everyone when she became manager, and then hired all her friends. Told us there was a lot that went on at the shop that wasn’t up to food code. Sold me a burnt waffle cone with a hole in the bottom. So it melted and dripped down my hand. Did not use a napkin or anything on the waffle cone! She just handed it to me with her filthy (literally so filthy) hands! Music was not family friendly in the shoppe.

Great atmosphere, gender bending employees, punk rock feel. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Walked in at 11:43 and was out before 11:55. Awesome & fast customer service. You get to try ice cream on actual spoons! For two huge scoops is 4 $! If you want a fresh waffle cone it’s 59 cents more. Super friendly and have punch cards! Also Vegan friendly!!!

Full Tilt is satisfying & yummy! It’s a very small shop, so getting seating is a toss up since there are only 2 spots to sit, I believe. But the delicious, light ice cream makes up for it & it is in such a convenient location! I have good memories from summer thanks to Full Tilt & their ice cream.

i LOVE chocolate, especially dark chocolate. What’s interesting, though, is that I NEVER get chocolate ice cream. I’d rather have coffee ice cream or salted caramel or even just plain vanilla. However, when I saw ‘Mexican Chocolate’ written on that glass, I knew right there and then, that tonight is the night I will eat chocolate ice cream. Seriously, THE best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever tasted. It’s dark chocolate with cinnamon, two of my favorite things.
I did also try orange cream. It’s pretty good, but I enjoyed the mexican chocolate so much that I was wishing I got two scoops of mexican chocolate instead of one.

This place never disappoints! The gal behind the counter was very friendly and pulled out a handful of spoons for sampling. She must have known we wanted to try EVERYTHING. Haha today i had salted caramel and coffee almond (i think that was the name of it) in a cup with a waffle cone on top. The two flavors were a great combo. Seriously, don’t pass on the waffle cone. One of the best waffle cones i have had. They offer some unique flavors also classic flavors. I’m not vegan, but i do like that they offer vegan options. Flavors chance often. So don’t go in wanting something specific. It might not be offered that day.

Interesting ice cream flavors and super cool staff. It’s down the street from my apartment so I go more often than I should.
So far the ice cream flavors I’ve tried are: peanut butter and jelly (okay), oatmeal cookie (excellent), and cardamom peachy (good but could have used a little more peach).
On Mondays it’s double stamp day, so you get free ice cream sooner if you schedule accordingly. ;)
I also like that they are open late at night.

Was craving ice cream one evening, so my friends and I made a spontaneous ice cream run to Full Tilt! This was my first time here, and although the line was out the door — it was so so worth it!!! I got the Mud Honey half tilt on a waffle cone! It was creamy, delicious, and not too overpowering with the flavors/​spices.

Great little ice cream joint right off the Ave. Not cheap but pretty reasonable prices and the waffle cones are to die for. The place is small so tends to attract a line on the weekends. The gal working there was under so much stress and pressure but managed to give us as many samples as we asked for and our orders as fast as humanly possible, all while smiling the entire time. Great customer service and really good ice cream.

Okay their coffee Oreo ice cream? GOODNESS. so delicious
Some of their other flavors are… just… weird. But hey, it’s all preference.
It’s dangerous that I live right next door to this place… Every time you walk past, you just get this amazing waft of their waffle cones and it’s irresistible.

Tiny, hole-​in-​the-​wall shop that is easily missed if you don’t know about it since it’s off the Ave and behind Cedar’s. If you’re not walking, park your car in the Safeway lot nearby to avoid the hassle of street parking. I would prepare to eat your ice cream outside the shop because there are only a few bar stools along the wall and it’s a tight squeeze for more than 2 people to fit at that counter.
Read the sign carefully (though it’s all in chalk and a bit confusing at first) and make sure that you are fully prepared to eat 4 scoops of ice cream if you order the «single scoop» which is $ 4. I got the kids scoop which was plenty for me after a meal that already made me pretty full. Sugar cone or cup is no charge, 50 cents extra for a famed waffle cone. Currently, the machine is broken and they didn’t have any — but I hear that they run out of waffle cones sometimes, so keep that in mind!
There are pints to buy, rotating «fun» flavors, milkshakes, and more but it seems like ice cream in a cone or cup is the best value and most popular. You can try any of the flavors before ordering and they do accept card. Grab a punch card and if you jot our name down on it, you can leave it in a card holder that they have on the counter if you just can’t be bothered to keep it in your wallet.
I tried the strawberry oreo which was the perfect blend of cookies and cream and strawberry ice cream. The only bad thing is that it is so warm inside the shop on a hot day that it melted quickly. The server was touching the ice cream with her bare hands which I thought to be very unsanitary. Also the freezer doesn’t seem to be cold enough to handle 90 degree weather because most of the ice cream was melting or very soft. In the end, can’t really blame a tiny place like this to not be fully equipped to survive in this abnormally hot weather, so I still give this place 4 stars. Will be back in cooler weather for other flavors!

Their single scoop is their biggest size! If you don’t read the menu, you will mistakenly order a single and get a huge serving of ice cream enough for three people.
I had the peach basil and salted caramel. The peach basil was very light and refreshing and more basil than peach. The salted caramel was better than Molly Moon’s, which I found way too salty.
They do run out of flavors, so don’t wait too long.

What’s all the hype about Molly Moon? I mean, it’s good… but we gotta get Full Tilt some more attention!
This is a pretty tiny ice cream joint hidden behind a restaurant. Park in the Safeway lot and make sure you walk a bit down 50^th. We almost left because we thought it was closed; too hard to find! But SO WORTH the search.
There aren’t too many flavors, but they have a good balance of classics and funky stuff. Lots of fruity options with bright, fun colors. The butter popcorn flavor was sweet and slightly salty, but I settled for the salted caramel and grape nut flavors. Order a split single scoop; it’s huge!
Waffle cones are only fifty cents more, and I don’t think I’d have anything else! They’re freshly made, and some corners are still a little soft when you get them – delicious!
The vibe is super chill. The workers are all upbeat and cool, and the walls are decorated with records that you can purchase. The music was eclectic, but some standouts were ‘90s and ‘00s punk themes. Loved it!
Next time I’m in Seattle, I think I’d go here before Molly Moon. The ice cream has more flavor, and there’s no need to wait!

Went here for a late Thursday night ice cream fix and was not disappointed. Was impressed by all the unique, crazy and creative flavor combinations on offer. salted licorice, caramel popcorn, cinnamon mexican chocolate, and a lot more. We tried the mexican chocolate and caramel popcorn and we loved it.
They are good value for money — the single scoop for 4 bucks comes 2 flavor options in a bowl and was good for my wife and me to get our dessert fix for the night.
The place is open till 11PM on all days and extends till 12AM on Fri and Sat. So it is one of the few icecream options in university between 10PM and 11PM on any night. The place is easy to get to from the freeway and there is plenty of street parking available around.
The service is very friendly — the lady at the counter struck up a conversation with all the folks coming up to her.

I’ve been living in the U-​District for three years now and I didn’t know about this hidden gem until yesterday.
Pros:
— unique flavors that actually taste like what they’re called.
— quantity they give you is huge
— smells great
— service is very friendly
— open till 11 pm (and 12 am on Fri/​Sat)
Cons:
— cramped space, limited seating room
Bottom Line: The pros far outweigh the cons at Full Tilt, and its the best place near the Ave to go to for ice cream, in terms of both quantity and quality.
