Great little ice cream shop hidden inside shopping center. They have old school arcade games (but closed off from use for now). The Roxbury Road is really tasty. They have some unique flavors and a good selection of vegan ones to choose from. Have to try the Ube!

Wonderful local ice cream shop with arcade games...Pros: Delicious ice cream with interesting flavors, vegan options (also uses coconut milk for those who are lactose intolerant), old-school arcade games and pinball, fun and relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff.Cons: Ice cream prices can be a little more expensive (depending on what you choose), Maybe a bit difficult to try and locate.Bottom Line: A fun and relaxing place for the entire family. The ice cream is fresh and good quality, with interesting flavors. The arcade games help lend to the atmosphere and likability of the eatablishment. Ice cream can be purchased to-go in half-pint containers. You can also sample the different flavors before finally choosing which one you would like.

Pure class! Only weakness is no beers on tap. Major strength is that on weekdays they open 2 hours before the delicious Flying Lion opens next door - allowing the opportunity to enjoy a can of Guinness and a pint of Grunge Flavor while I decompress from work ...

This little ice cream shop right on Rainier Ave in Columbia City is one of the best Ive been to! Their ice cream is very sillky and creamy, overall delicious!Parking in the strip mall lot can be a challenge during peak hours or hot days. The lot condition itself could also be better.The classic arcade games inside are also a great smack of nostalgia for us slightly older folks. Theres Pac-Man, Raiden, Gauntlet Legends, MvC, and a couple pinball machines.Come here!

Finally made it to Full Tilt Ice Cream in Columbia City. We decided to stop by on a rainy/cold day before heading to Seattle Gymnastics Academy and really enjoyed it!They have some very unique flavors. The ice cream selection included some original and different flavors alongside some classics as well.The guy working was super nice and I really (really, really) appreciated that they use real spoons!!!!! They offer free samples so you can try them out. The price is very reasonable for the generous serving sizes.Bring your quarters because the arcade games are such a retro treat! $0.25 cents pinball, galaga, street fighter, pacman, and more adds to the fun. Dont miss the Lost World shooter with the dinosaurs!Dont let the exterior or the appearance of the strip mall deter you. Gritty and run down on the outside but fun and delicious on the inside! This place is a real gem! We will definitely be back soon!*Hours:Monday-Thursday: 2pm-10pmFriday: 2pm-11pmSaturday: 12pm-11pmSunday 12pm-10pm*Ice Cream EtiquetteAs soon as you have the ice cream cone in hand, make sure there are no drips around the sides that can mess up your outfit or drip on the floor. You may wrap the cone in a napkin. Lick around the sides to make sure you dont miss any of the delicious goodness. Eat all the ice cream off the top before nibbling the cone.Once your treat is gone, wipe your hands and mouth with a napkin. If youre really sticky, wash your hands and face in the sink. #icecream #arcades

Absolutely love this place! Quality ice cream in a fun location! This is a Columbia City gem for kids and adults alike!

This place is kind of expensive, but I bought an ice cream sandwich (red velvet) and it was pretty great. With the amount of time it takes to make macarons (look it up, its pretty difficult and time consuming) its pretty understandable why theyd be pricy though. Everyone I was with loved their desserts and we didnt have to wait in a long line.

Review №17

The ice cream is a little pricey, but it’s really good! As far as I know, this is the only place in Seattle that serves ice cream with an arcade in the shop! It can get kind of packed depending on what time you go, but it’s definitely worth the visit. My friend described some of the flavors as “little kid flavors” because some are so incredibly sweet, but I think they’re all really good. Also, they have a huge selection of sodas you can pick from if you decide to get an ice cream float. Lastly, the service is great and the people working there are very kind. The energy in the shop is generally pretty sweet and uplifting.

Review №29

Ice cream selection, atmosphere, and service are second to none. Definitely a great place to hang out or end the night (dessert!!). In my humble opinion, I believe the ice cream is just a notch above Molly Moons. You will have to try it yourself and be the judge.

Its a neat spot. They have lots of unique flavors of ice cream however I didnt think the ice cream was to die for. It wasnt as creamy as I was hoping for (yes I got the regular milk one). Probably wouldnt go back for ice cream there.

Friendly staff and arcade machines. Also the ice cream is pretty good and you can try whatever flavors are available. Cheaper then Molly Moons. They have pints as well and I believe theyre part of Uber Eats. They have some vegan options as well.

Great spot for kids and adults! We attended a birthday party here and had a blast. The ice cream is great and they offer dairy and gluten free options.

Review №41

This is a bit of nostalgia in Columbia city. This is just a hole-in-the-wall little shop with a distinct personality all its own. You are greeted with a line (typically) for some VERY unique flavors of ice cream (non-dairy, coconut milk chocolate). The staff (who must be the owners) are hyper friendly...but very sincere! When we were there they were out of cones, making them on on-the fly. The unique thing about this place is that while enjoying your ice cream you can play classic video games or pinball. Very strange combination, but it all works. Highly recommended, but be patient.

I just wish they had more of the flavors restocked. They change out ice creams a lot. Its very exciting to go back :) new flavors and combinations and they arcade is pretty sweet. Friendly environment. I would recommend this place

Homemade, small batch, ice creams & vegan ice cream? YES PLEASE!Full tilt was doing unique ice cream flavors years before the competition.This place is unmatched for taste, quality and value. They helped make me the rotund man I am today.The parking lot is free so expect it to get busy on the weekend.

I love this place. Some days my boyfriend and I come here to load up on sugar and play arcade games. Deliciously unique ice cream flavors and awesome games. Full Tilt is a great place to hang out and enjoy great beer/ice cream/milkshakes/fermented sodas!

What a gem of Columbia Valley.An old rundown strip mall location just off the main strip this place offers a unique and interesting experience no matter your age. As long as you like ice cream, or beer, comic books, or video games and pinball youre gonna be all right.Its usually not packed but this visit it was totally full. Im excited to go back a time when I can enjoy the selection and play some pinball while enjoying heavenly ice cream.Pro Tip: When its slammed skip the line and just get a pint from the side freezer. Theyll ring you right up while other folks decide on what flavors they want in scoop.

The Blue Moon ice cream is a bit more denim in color than it should be for true Blue Moon, but that doesnt effect the flavor, and Im not complaining! Im just happy to find this great and rare flavor outside of Michigan!

The coolest local ice cream place EVAR! Delicious, unusual flavors--my fave is Mexican chocolate. Spicy! 80s video game machines, pinball machines, and occasionally group (OF NERDS! JK) playing Dungeons & Dragons at the center table. Wall painting of the flying blue hand from the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine. Eclectic! (You kids these days probably didnt even know that. Get off my lawn!) Support your local businesses, go there.

This is an interesting place. Average ice cream with gruff service. It could be better if they sluffed off some of the grunge vibe left over from the 90s.

The ice cream is amazing. Personal favorites being ube, thai tea, Mexican chocolate and a coffee chocolate combo. Get it on a waffle cone. Theres a treat at the bottom. I didnt play arcade games growing up but in my amateur opinion theyve got something for everyone at a quarter a pop.

Review №91

You COULD go down to the newly opened Molly Moon, if you have a hankering for snooty too lame flavors. If you want delicious real ice cream this is the place to go. The salted caramel is absolutely outstanding. The only gripe I have is that the ube doesnt taste like the ube I k ow and love. Their ube is pretty much just coconut. All the other flavors are fantastic

We got there around 8:40pm on a Tuesday night and there was a huge line.None of our group had been there before and were very excited that the ice cream was going to be amazing based on how busy they were...Once we ordered and got our ice cream, we were not blown away like we had hoped... It was good, but not great.Everyone in the group agreed that it just good. Not great.On top of that, ine of my friends played one of the arcade games- he was flying a plane shooting stuff and he said the controller was faulty when you pulled back on it..The portions were also small for the price...
