After having a good lunch we were craving for some ice cream and on the search this place popped up with good reviews.Street parking is available. Many other good eats around. We were greeted by a sweet lady, many flavors standard ones and new ones. They do give out samples to taste of your choice. As per the suggestion of the lady I got :-Chocolate ice cream:- Nice creaminess and bold chocolate flavor, more on the dark chocolate side. And my better half got:-Coffee ice cream:- We have had better.So, heres the thing the cup size you get to choose from is small or kidz size. They do fill the cup to top. We got the small one which was $7, WOHH. Its good if you are on diet! Lol. Overall, not for us.

My favorite gelato place is Seattle. Their pistachio flavor is to die for. There were many customers when I went, so I got the gelato pretty quickly, which was a plus. Will definitely come back

I got the salted caramel gelato and I really enjoyed it! It was creamy and well flavored. I came in on friday after a nearby dinner and the place was packed! The line was wrapping through the store and out the door. The girls working did a great job moving the line forward and getting people their gelato in a timely and friendly manner.

Good gelato is hard to find. But look no further, the nutty squirrel is such a fun place to go for a sweet treat. There are a few tables outside tables if you want to stay and enjoy your dessert. We tried the nutty squirrel flavor, which tasted just like a snickers. Yum! We also had the brownie chocolate flavor which was also delicious! We didn't realize the fancy cone was the dipped one with sprinkles.

My coworkers highly recommended this place so I decided to stop by here before picking up my order from the Chicken Supply a block down. As this is my first visit, I decided to try their classic flavors - small size with pistachio and salted caramel flavor, and they allowed me to sample a few flavors, so I tried their stracciatella and the gianduiotto (hazelnut) flavors. Their gelato is pretty solid and I really liked the strong pistachio and hazelnut flavors. Texture was also perfect for those flavors. The salted caramel flavor was a letdown as I anticipated a bit more saltiness, but the caramel flavor was apparent. Also, the salted caramel gelato texture was a bit icy than smooth. Otherwise, the workers are very nice and the price is reasonable, and it is definitely a fairly bustling place where families take their children for a sweet treat.

Every time I walk past this place, it smells amazing. I finally went inside, and I don't regret it!There are lots of interesting flavors, but with this being my first time, I decided to go with some more common ones: pistachio, salted caramel, and espresso.All three flavors tasted good. The texture was super smooth and creamy. My favorite was the salted caramel. The saltiness perfectly balanced with the sweetness, and it was a bit addicting. I couldn't stop my spoon from moving towards that flavor more often than to the others. The pistachio was a good, solid, nutty pistachio which I always enjoy. The espresso was good but a bit forgettable... I think it could've been stronger in flavor. The service was ok, nothing special. The space has some extra things they sell on racks like honey and such... but the star is the gelato. OH! Lastly, I usually don't care much for this type of thing, but I found the design on the cup very cute. It was of dancing people!

My husband picked up some Gelato for us recently at Nutty Squirrel Gelato in Phinney Ridge. He got take out, but they do have a nice outdoor eating area for those who are interested.He said that the employee was super nice and answered all of his questions about the gelato.We thought that it was a great price for the value, amount, and quality of gelato. We each got a medium size cup with 3 flavors each for $6.50 each. The cups were quite large and I felt that they gave us nearly a full serving of each flavor, so it was really a lot of gelato!We split both of our bowls so that we could each try 6 different flavors. My favorite flavor was definitely "The Nutty Squirrel," cute that they have a signature flavor that is named after their shop. It tasted quite peanut-buttery to me, and I am a fan of peanut butter. Other flavors that we tried: *Moroccan Rose - special limited edition flavor just for Mother's Day, so it might not be around much longer, but it was really unique and very good so I recommend trying it if it's still there and if you're hankering to try a new gelato flavor that you've never tried before *Chocolate - delicious, I ate a lot of that flavor*Pistachio - my husband likes this flavor of gelato, so he ate most of that one*Sea Salt Caramel - also one of my husband's favorites, he liked it*Mint Choco-Chip - one of my favorites, it was very deliciousWe are happy with our gelato experience at this shop. My husband has tried every gelato place in Seattle in the past (he loves gelato a lot) and he liked this place. Recommended for a tasty spring treat.

Very cute little gelato shop that I fortuitously discovered on an Instagram reel. The staff was very kind, answered questions and patiently waited while we tried a few flavors. It's a little pricey, but so worth it!

Went here a couple weeks ago and the vegan flavors were gas. Also the girl who worked there. I think her name was Nola she was incredible. The store was very clean and I loved the vibe it had. The forest berry flavor is amazing 9.69/10. Prices were a little high so my overall rating for this place is a solid 7.3 due to the high prices

How I heard of this place: A quaint spot in the neighborhood, we walk by Nutty Squirrel Gelato quite often. Rainbow Hop festivities made it only the second time we've stepped inside. Type of cuisine: Italian gelato, about as true to form as can be outside of Italy.Ambiance: Cozy and bright, the garage door windows are open on beautiful warm days, to allow ventilation and a cool breeze as you stand in line awaiting your selection. The seating are is small and packed in with tables and chairs, making it difficult to walk through. The kitchen area takes up more than half of the entirety of the establishment - or so it seems - where two young employees are serving the hoards of children and parents awaiting their treats. On the sidewalk in front, three bright orange adirondak chairs are available, too, to watch passerby and entice them with your glorious, creamy concoctions.What I ordered: We had one order of strawberry shortcake on a sugar cone, and a second order of a double scoop - salted caramel and lemon cookie, also on a sugar cone. I also sampled the Nutty Squirrel signature which was similar in flavor to a Snickers bar, as well as the extra chocolatey one, which was perfectly decadent.What I loved: When it comes to gelato, I'm a sucker for the citrus flavors, and the lemon cookie provided just that. Why I loved it: A quick and filling treat to help us on the walk home.Cost: Average to high.
