Lucas and Lelah did a phenomenal job for our outdoor event 8/29 in the park. So friendly, professional and helpful. The ice cream was fantastic and the waffle cones were delicious too. Everyone raved about you two. Thank you so much. Definitely 5 stars, would give more, if I could. Valerie

Must try in the Seattle area! I visited with my family and we were pleased with how they treat their customers and how good the ice cream was. I had the vegan chocolate coconut cookie crunch and it was amazing!!! The waffle cones are warm when handed to you and it gives that comfort touch to some good ice cream!The snickerdoodle is also super good and worth trying but Im still obsessing over the chocolate coconut cookie crunch! We will definitely be back!

Super delicious ice cream and the best waffle cone ever

Always friendly staff and delicious ice cream. We make regular trips across town and wait in line just to get a scoop of Theos Chocolate Chunk.*Note: They also have a stand at the Wallingford Farmers Market on Wednesdays.

Great service, delicious ice cream. The horchata was top notch and the local Theos flavor hit the spot.

Great spot for some ice cream, I would have attached a photo but we couldnt wait and ate it all up. Great vegan options too 😁👍

Best ice cream I’ve ever had. And the staffare so nice

The smell of freshly rolled waffle cones will beckon you to follow your nose to the wide selection of ice cream inside the shop, where super friendly ice cream scoopers will answer any and all your questions about their flavors. They have all the standard flavors youd expect, alongside really cool seasonal ones too! My favorites are their snickerdoodle, caffe vita, and grasshopper, and if youre able to catch it during the summer time, the meyer lemon cookie is *amazing*!! Definitely stop by to try a scoop or two in a waffle cone!!

Best cones in the world! Always fresh, flavorful, and crispy. Ice cream is great too. They just moved across the street next to the Greek restaurant.

Kids were happy, I thought it was quality too.

I keep coming back every year or so, and I keep being disappointed. The ice cream isnt as rich or flavorful as other premium brands. My husband asked if wed accidentally gotten a vegan flavor.The COVID measures are careful for staff which is good, but dont accommodate customers well. We got yelled at for standing one step in to read the board then minutes later had to stand exactly there to pay and get our ice cream. We were the only customers present, which was good as there was no apparent plan for more than one customer, and no way to pay without edging around the stay here spot.Last time we give Blue Bird one more try. Mediocre ice cream with surly service (she snapped at us a total of three times!) took all the joy out of a treat.

Walked by and got drawn in by the smell of handmade waffle cones being made right at the bar. I tried the salted caramel ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone and my husband got a pint of the Split Personality stout. We both left very happy customers. Will be back!

Pretty rude service, unclear Covid measures (repeatedly, in an irritated tone, told to ‘stay back behind the line’ then instructed to cross that same line to pay/get ice cream), unapologetically served my 6 yr old a fully broken ice cream cone (‘I’m putting this in a cup because the cone is too broken to hold’) and ultimately ice cream was just okay. We’re local in the neighborhood and are bummed to finally try this shop, but cross it off our list of places we’ll be back to. Fortunately Greenwood has so many other great, locally run options for treats.

Good ice cream (their own in small batches) with unique flavors, nice location. Can be a little slow due to high demand and often only 1-2 staff (shakes take time to make by hand, not sure why people are complaining so much in the reviews), but not that bad...sit and enjoy the neighborhood. Staff has always been very kind and helpful. If you have allergies, they do have at least peanuts and peanut butter ice creams that do not seem to be very well isolated, so probably pass if you have a severe peanut allergy.

Good ice cream not that great. And the woman who works here is very rude and just mean.

Stopped by today at 5pm, and turned around immediately along with many other people. The server/cashier was NOT wearing a mask, despite standing next to a giant sign that says “face masks are required”. I mean cmon - she’s serving people ice cream and she’s breathing over everything. She was telling customers that she was not wearing a mask. That’s a great way to put other people at risk. Be cautious folks - we need to watch out for each other.Never coming back. We walked two blocks down and found a lovely gelato place where the server actually was wearing a face mask. And the gelato was tastier and not overpriced - so it all worked out in the end.

A Seattle treasure. No pretentious Molly moons nonsense. This place makes my lactose world turn round

A little sweet, a little icy - if that makes sense. Not entirely a good thing when their competitors are producing smoother textured ices and balanced sweet/savory flavors. Two stars because of good tasters on real spoons, cool swag, its local to me and the fact that the line is going to be shorter.

Cute parlor with traditional and interesting flavors. The Theo Chocolate Chunk is pretty good.

Great ice cream. Friendly environment. Board games to play with the kids. Not the hottest restroom. No soda or beer on tap this visit. Not sure why but the kids loved it. Quaint little shop perfect for dropping in on those sunny days if youre in the area.

You cant beat the snickerdoodle scoop and the handmade waffle cones... Worth the price!

Great neighborhood ice cream spot. It scratches the itch for craft ice cream. The chocolate pudding is creamy and rich, while the vegan coconut chip is flavorful and fun. There is better ice cream out there, but Blue Bird holds their own.

Somewhat disappointed by the ice cream. The flavors were decent but the ice cream was extra runny. It was extra runny right from start, dripping through the waffle cone. Delivery day was the explanation. Had to rush through to finish the shake served on a cone.-Edit 9/24/17: Higher rating given due to attentiveness and response by owner. Customer oriented and open to feedback. Will return to try more ice cream.

This place has high quality ingredients and a very friendly staff.I had the beer float and it was very tasty. This place needs more seating though.

The best. Wonderful people, great ice cream, some good vegan options, and it perpetually smells like waffles. Also, making a stout float with stout ice cream is always a good call.

Blue Bird makes mostly awesome ice cream (a few flop flavors, but mostly good). They also make really tasty soda, and by virtue, awesome floats.Theyre a little pricey, but at least they use really high-quality ingredients.If youre in the area, this is really the best option for ice cream or sweets. They also make dessert beers, if thats your thing.Heres the downside: the service. Its really a mixed bag. Its either a young hipster who (perhaps rightfully so) hates their job, doesnt pack pints properly, and gives you comically small scoops for $6.50; or its the nicest, bestest, overworked employee ever.They really need to have more people working at the counter on busy days (especially when its warm). Having a line out the door isnt always a sign of great business -- its sometimes a sign that the owner didnt want to have two people working, and some poor sap is stressing out, trying to take multiple orders at once.And would you guys please make your waffle cones during the mornings like most ice cream shops?Hire more people and train them how to pack pints and serve up scoops. Thats all you need to do, really. You shouldnt have to wait ten minutes to get an ice cream cone. And when you do, it should be huge, delicious, and completely awesome. And sometimes it really is.But sometimes, it isnt. And you need to fix that.They make great ice cream, though. So at least give them a shot. The chocolate flavors are all absurdly good. Definitely get the Theo Chocolate Chunk.

Delicious ice cream, fun atmosphere, and a great operator who told us all about how they made the ice cream.

This place is awesome. Tried at least 5 flavors and couldnt decide between them... They are all spectacular! Find the time to stop by!

Neighborhood ice cream place... Could use a good cleaning and some updates. As I dont like to leave bad/negative reviews, Ill just say this was my one and only visit.

Well its 6pm on a friday and Im standing outside the shop. The hours are 3-10pm. Nobody is here and the business is closed. Why? No explanation. Also the last couple times Ive been here the girl behind the counter (same girl) is rude. 3 stars cause the ice cream is great, but the counter girl is not and business hours arent followed.

Cute little shop with great service + out of this world delicious ice cream!

This place is just simple ice cream executed perfectly

Best peanut butter ice cream I’ve ever had.

Salted caramel ice cream was great flavor. The ice cream was a little soft, not as hard as I would have liked. Perfect little local spot.

Always amazing. Not only are their flavors amazing (snickerdoodle for the win!) but their homemade waffle cones are unbelievable.

Best ice cream in the city of Seattle. It’s a good thing I don’t live within walking distance ‘cause I’d get super fat.

Shawn is the best scooper. Somehow she makes ice cream even more fun.

Theyre still out of beer, but great ice cream and killer views

Just a little shop on greenwood. Nice and friendly gentleman behind counter. Made it feel like a friendly environment!

Super friendly staff, scrumptious ice cream, unique craft beers and a delicious homemade rootbeer, this place cant be beat. If youre lucky enough to catch them before they fly off the wall there are some local artist prints for sale that are a steal!

One of the better ice cream in the area, but be wary they charge $0.50 for split flavors.

Small but interesting beer selection. I tried the apricot almond brown ale, it was good. Ice creams are great.

Good ice cream, but the menus are extremely confusing. Ive honestly walked out a few times because of it. The shakes/floats/etc need more structure on the menu.

Went there because Google said they had soft serve ice cream (I know, kinda lowbrow but I was in a mood). They DO NOT have soft serve, but thats not entirely enough of a reason o give them just two star; went ahead and ordered two scoops, marionberry and horchata. The horchata was marginally ok, you could guess the flavor without being told what it was, but the marionberry was absolutely void of character. It was berry colored and seemed to have little berry seeds in it but otherwise impossible to guess what the flavor was suppose to be. Not a place I will spend calorie counts on in the future.

All the ice cream is delicious! The snickerdoodle flavor is especially fun. Their fresh waffle cones are phenomenal.

Great ice cream. Oddly deficient beer selection. Filthy. Have they ever cleaned? Still, ice cream is so good I go back.

Good ice cream, and had some non dairy options. Iimited seating so if its a little busy, there wont be anywhere to sit.

I had a good root beer, but I kinda wanted regular ice cream, guy was nice and funny

Wonderful chocolate pudding ice cream. Fresh waffle cones.

Good ice cream! They have a tasty set of local partnerships with cafe vita next door and theos chocolate.

Delicious! Great ice cream and my wife is happy because their horchata vegan ice cream is sooooo good!

Great, friendly local ice cream shop! Also open late!!!

The ice cream is super good! The beers are great too.

Ice cream was icy

Great ice cream! They make their waffle cones right in front of you, and have a few flavors of ice cream, soda, and beer

Cmon, its ice cream, with waffle cones. Its good!

A favorite, and getting better with interior updates and IPAs on tap!

Delicious ice cream but a bit pricey

Great flavors and a very friendly staff.

Good stuff..Theos chocolate chunk...marionberry. Yum

Love this place! 50/50 Choc Pudding and Peanut Butter!

On my visit I got a split scoop (half and half) of snickerdoodle and theo chocolate chunk and it was absolutely delicious. The business itself was a little hard to find because the logo is painted on brick and at night there is really not much light near the logo, but it is right next to the coffee shop. The ice cream had the perfect texture and consistency that was smooth and not to sweet., The retro decor of the room was pretty tasteful addition also, there were some old milk jugs around, an old radio with all their merch on it and there POS system was a combo of a tablet on an old metal cash register. Around the top left part of the room was also a shelf full of old board games if youre looking for something to do while there with friends. This little business is definitely worth a visit if youre looking for some cool interesting ice cream flavors, interesting sodas or micro-brews.

You get to try a teaspoonful before you order. Great chocolate flavour and great service.

Best ice cream. Delicious beer. Get a growler and save $$.

Salted Caramel and a Theo Chocolate Milk Stout for dessert

Epic they make their own cones and just amazin

I got the snicker doodle and tried the PB&J ice cream. Definitely am a fan of the PB&J.

Good ice cream. Also, as of late 2012 its also a microbrewery.

Pretty good Ice cream. Its definitely expensive for ice cream though

Over priced. nasty. Its not even real ice cream. yuck yuck yuck.

Expect long lines on a summer night - theyre worth it.

Loved the ice cream! Loved the beer!

Just a great spot.

Great Ice cream

Really Awesome Ice Cream

Delicious!!!
