Cocoa & Cream

My bf and I went to Cocoa & Cream a week ago and it was definitely an anti-​climatic experience. I love ice cream, sorbet, etc so I was excited to try out a new place, but when we arrived I just was not inspired at all. I almost opted out of getting anything, but I didn’t want to make my bf eat alone, so I ordered the mango sorbet. For the most part it was good, but it had a hint of that freezer taste. My boyfriend ordered ice cream with fudge on top and was not excited about it. I feel very blah about our whole experience. I don’t want to completely write them off just yet because there are so many good reviews on here, so I may try them again, but not for a while.

I am not sure having 2 pieces of pie before eating ice cream is a good idea! But, I managed to order a scoop of strawberry ice cream and finished it in 5 minutes! It was good!
The store front is not big, in fact, it’s a small and narrow ice cream shop in Magnolia downtown. But, I had no complaints about ice cream and good service. It was really enjoyable with my scoop of strawberry ice cream sitting outside sunbathing. I loved it!

Great place to bring a kid. The banana spit is amazing and perfect for three people. They put a lot of hot fudge on it which I’m a huge fan of!

Great ice-​cream, cute shop, stellar location… what else can you ask for. They even have great service!

adorable shop to stop in at, i’ve only had one bad experience which was a daiquiri/​margarita ice that tasted a lil freezer burnt. other than that, always a fun stop after magnolia park!

So call me biased (I worked here –very– briefly one summer), but C&C is just awesome. If you live in Magnolia, why would you not stop in here for a treat every now and again? And really really why would you drive all the way to 31 Flavors down on Elliott? WASTEFUL!
Snoqualmie Gourmet is just about the yummiest ice cream ever, and the toppings here at Cocoa and Cream are either homemade (chocolate fudge, caramel, cookies, brownies) by the owner (who was a pastry chef before starting this business), or incredibly fresh (i.e. the gummy worms, jimmies, etc.).
Cocoa and Cream is known for having some funky flavors, such as black licorice, lavender (my favorite, so creamy and divine), and green tea. There is usually at least one sorbet/​non-​dairy flavor. Also, if your child has any allergies (such as peanut), be sure to let the server know and they will definitely assist you — the owner has instructed workers to wash a scooper and get a fresh ice cream from the back freezer to be sure there will be absolutely no risk of cross contamination. I think this highlights the extreme devotion to customer care.
C&C also tries extremely hard to recycle as much as possible, so you will notice the bins for the ice cream dishes and spoons next to the trash.
Check this shop out! I’ve read reviews (maybe not so much here, but on magnoliavoice) complaining about the price, but as Sonya L. (
) wrote, the scoops are HUGE and so so worth it. Don’t drive all the way to Molly Moon’s when C&C is right at your door step.

I love this ice cream shop. It’s cute, bright, fun and kid-​friendly. Once a month they also have a local Artist come in — Rachael’s Handmade Designs. You can find the information here:
Really fun! The ice cream is *GREAT* and the prices are good.

I have enjoyed this place until today. They advertised a new item, ice cream berry shortcake. They told me it was in the freezer but could be eaten within a few minutes. An hour later I still can’t eat it because it was solid frozen. This was the most disappointing ice cream dessert I have ever received. I would have rather gotten soft serve at McDonald’s than eat this thing that I paid $ 5.00 for. If I was the owner I would be completely embarrassed to sell this to a customer and not serve it fresh. It is definitely out of character for Cocoas and Cream. Enjoy the rest and the freshly prepared items but do not try this one item, you will be utterly disappointed like I was.

I wandered into Cocoa & Cream on my lunch break today and was pleasantly surprised — what an adorable little ice cream shop!
They had lots of options for ice cream, sundaes, milkshakes, and all sorts of concoctions. They also had delicious looking chocolates in a display case that came from Theo Chocolate, among other places.
I eyed all the Snoqualmie Gourmet ice cream hungrily. I ended up going with a scoop of the toasted coconut, which was DIVINE! It was only $ 3 bucks plus tax for one of the hugest scoops of ice cream I’ve ever had.
The girl working the counter was quite friendly. I saw there was a play area in the back for kids, which is a great idea. The shop is small, but has plenty of space to sit or stand.
I would definitely recommend this place.

My kindergartner and I stopped in Cocoa and Cream last Saturday, after the Little League opening day ceremony. Service was great, the counter person (perhaps owner?) being friendly and chatty. I had the salted caramel with gingersnaps and it was decadent. The young one seemed perfectly content with his chocolate.
We learned that if we see any plastic Easter eggs laying around the neighborhood in the next week or so, we should investigate because they could have a gift certificate for a free scoop enclosed! Tragically (for us), we saw one the day before but didn’t know any better!
We were the only people in the shop, so we didn’t have any issues with the shop’s layout, but I could totally see where it might not be so comfy when it’s a packed house. Still — it’s a cute little neighborhood ice cream shop and I’d rather give them my patronage than a corporate giant like B&R.

Cute ice cream shop with play area for kids. The ice cream itself is better than at chain stores and it has a lively feel. We loved that they have highchairs, toys and even books! The space is small but well laid out.

I went here in search of a milkshake after reading a write-​up in Seattle Weekly that said they have the «best milkshakes in Seattle». After seeing the menu, they had so many options that I changed my mind and got a sundae.
They serve Snoqualmie ice-​cream which is very good for larger batch ice-​cream. The salted carmel with ginger snaps is amazing! They make homemade toppings, I tried the hot fudge, it is good but not the intense chocolate for which I was looking (try Peak’s custard). They make homemade ice-​cream sandwiches with soft chocolate chip cookies (fresh out of the oven) with your choice of filling. They then roll the ice-​cream in whatever topping you want (nuts, chocolate, toffee). They also have a sundae served on a Belgian waffle, which sounded amazing, but I wasn’t hungry enough to try and eat one of those. They served drinking chocolate and chocolates from local shops as well.
Why only 4 stars… the atmosphere was a little weird and they don’t actually make their own ice-​cream.

The other evening I had a ice cream craving. I wanted a sugar cone with a simple chocolate something ice cream. Baskin Robbins on 15^th seemed too far away, so off to Cocoa & Cream I went.
The place is cute enough in the front then opens up to a playroom like back area. It fairly messy.
The teen behind the counter was sweet enough but clueless as to how to make any of the sundaes. My ice cream was meltly and too sweet.
Small and cute is fine, but a small selection of medicore ice cream is not ok. I will make my way to Baskin Robbins next time.

This place is great we have been several times, the ice cream is of the best quality! Service could be friendlier, but it still is better then most places!
Its very kid friendly complete with an easel in the back. Ice cream sandwiches are the best the owner makes her chocolate chip cookies in store, she was a pastry chef prior to opening her store. The quality of everything is so awesome!
