My expectations were low. This was a food cart, after all, and I’m from Boston, one of the states that consumes the most ice cream in the nation. “Lavender honey, please,” I said to Molly Moon‘s ice cream man. A small mound of white with flecks of tiny purple was pushed through the window above my head. I reached for it and then slid the cool cream onto my tongue with the tiny, coarse wooden spoon.
Oh my. Hello, fields of France.

Welcome to Seattle! But did you test the Maple Bacon as well? That one cracks me up.
No, I wanted to try the salted caramel, though, that one was getting rave reviews.
It’s taken years for Seattle to finally understand the consumers love ice cream. 🙂 It’s what I missed most after my Boston years, too. And then one day, a couple years ago, Molly Moons came to Wallingford. The lines formed and never stopped. And since, more shops have opened up, and they ALL have lines. Bluebird on Capitol Hill (amazing pumpkin and chocolate pudding ice creams), and D’Ambrosio Gelato in Ballard (fig and caramel is my favorite), and Full Tilt in the south end and the U-District (which I’ve not actually tried). Husky Deli’s been in West Seattle for over 60 years–family owned, but it was the only homemade ice cream in town until a few years ago. We might be catching up to New England!
I vote for this post as the best! This sure takes me back… all the way to yesterday. Can’t believe we’re already home again. So fun to meet you at IFBC! 🙂
Great to meet you, too! Just now getting around the blog again after being on the road for a couple of weeks. Looking forward to checking out your blog!
