This place has awesome ice cream. Molly Moons may be more upscale, but his place has them beat when it comes to what counts - the ice cream. It's close to my house and I go here more often than my waistline would like, but they also have a good vegan selection. :)
The very first time we came here I was put off my the sloppy signage and kind of haphazard decor, but it doesn't bother me anymore. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the flavors are creative, the vibe is relaxed, and everyone is welcome. A single cone is really a double and the value for money if great. Full Tilt also does loyalty punch cards which is nice if you go very often. Oh, and they sell beer (Manny's!) and you can take pints home.
I knock it down a star only because I wish they would clean up just a bit more and have better signage. They do music some night and once I brought a few friends here only to not be able to get in the door because the live show was taking the place over. That was irritating, but it's only happened once.
My favorites out of the flavors we've tried include: Salted Caramel, Blue Moon (tastes like fruit loops), Birthday Cake, Mango Chili (don't worry about it - just TRY it) and Horchata.
Adding chocolate chip to the vegan list of flavors here at Full Tilt.
A waffle dish with two scoops and oreos, and a guiness and horchata float ran just a little less than $8 here the other night. Best prices in town on the frozen, icey stuff.
Add in the fact that it's still the only place in SeaTown that makes interesting vegan ice cream and I think we've got ourselves a winner.

Cardamon and horchata ice cream anyone? How about of the vegan variety?
Finally, an ice cream place… Read more »
This is the best of the Seattle Ice Creams I've had so far. I ordered the Blue Moon, not sure what was in the bastard but it tasted just like Fruit Loops!
The waffle cone is also warm and hand formed when you order the ice cream. It gets a star knocked down because the warm cone will melt your ice cream a little bit making you eat the thing faster than you may like.
Salted caramel Ice Cream, Strongbow and free wi-fi. It can't get better than this.
On the one occasion that I ventured all the way down to White Center (it's a bit of a drive from Ballard!), it was for my friend's birthday soiree. I was super impressed that this place custom-made her an ice cream flavor. How many ice cream shops do that for you?? Exactamundo. They made a hazelnut rosemary ice cream which I realize sounds different but it was good. It was a creamy for the base but it had a pleasant crunch from the nuts and a savory touch with rosemary. I'd never had herbs in ice cream before and let me say, it was darn right refreshing. My friends had the coconut and said it was really good. I like that they had some really unique flavors... not your run-of-the-mill stuff by any means. If you're down for a drive down to the heart of White Center, stop by this place. They have a tattoo parlor in the back and pinball galore for the kids (or the kid in you).
If I were vegan, Full Tilt would be heaven. If I drank beer with ice cream, then Full Tilt would be a godsend. But if I were looking for cheap, interesting, homemade ice cream, then Full Tilt would be only one of several options available to me. The mexican chocolate at Full Tilt was very tasty, but I am spoiled by the fact that I live next to my own neighborhood's go-to place for cheap homemade ice cream, so even the relatively short drive down to White Center isn't quite justified for what turns out to be (at most) equally good ice cream.
The pinball concept rules, though. Next time I stop by, I'll pretend it's a pinball hall that happens to serve beer and homemade ice cream and then I'll rock the night away!
After a hot car ride back from Portland, I needed something cold and creamy to cool me down. A light bulb went off in my head flashing, "Vegan Ice Cream...White Center...Full Tilt". Off to Full Tilt we go.
I had heard Full Tilt offered Vegan ice cream. While I am not a vegan myself , lately full diary ice cream has been giving me migraines so I've opted to eat non diary versions.
This place looks like a dive bar turned ice cream shop hang out place for hipsters. No hipsters were in the building that day but I can see it being filled to the brim. Apparently pizza is now being served here. I absolutely love the fact that it is in White Center. There is so much people watching to do as you lick up scrumptious iced cream. I saw many 9:00am drinkers hanging out on the bench in front of Full Tilt and the smells of urine and food from the neighboring Asian store made me appreciate White Center even more.
I go up to the ice cream counter and a teenaged looking girl gives me a smile. I ask if they had vegan ice cream. Yes, they do and the girl directs me past the numerous tubs full of diary ice cream to two small containers of the vegan version. My options were coconut and chocolate with what looked like Oreos mixed in. Neither had much left. I ask for the rest of both flavors.
The coconut was more flavorful than I expected it to be. The chocolate Oreo mix tasted different than what regular chocolate. It is always an interesting experience trying "fake" food. It could have used a bit more to spice it up. Overall, it wasn't bad.
I appreciate Full Tilt and its vegan ice cream.
Full Tilt, you are awesome. I love that while coming here is a bit o' a trip for me from waaaaay out in Redmond, I think you are so awesome that I will make it that far just for ice cream. Between your delicious and curious ice cream offerings, you remain awesome even after my husband drops his dirty tasting spoon in the clean tasting spoon holder and we have to toss them all. Yet, my awkward frown aside, you continue to ply us with tiny (clean) spoons of many of your delicious wares. Mexican Chocolate! Ube (my favorite, which tastes nothing like a potato)! Horchata! Birthday cake! With all of this variety, the one saving grace is that while I am quite certain each flavor is delicious individually I cannot imagine putting 5 of them together on a cone would be as tasty, so I remain less fat and my cones remain less melty.
While I pooh-pooh the idea of comparing Full Tilt to The Other Seattle Ice Cream Place, I will do so only to say that I like Full Tilt much better. The flavors are more flavorful, the service is much more enjoyable, and I don't have to stand outside behind 1759234720 hipsters to get my goods.
You are the Real Thing, Full Tilt, and that will keep me coming back long after you run out of mango chile paletas.
Great ice cream and pinball machines. I have tried most of the flavors but THE best popular ones are the Ube and Coffee Oreo. The Ube is filipino for purple yam and is popular dessert in the Philippines. And the coffee oreo...just look at the name....it's incredibly tasty! Not much seats there though..hope they add more..
Chuck E Cheeze you have been replaced. No creeky robot animals or sweaty kids in rodent costumes here. Just pinball, ice cream, pizza and...wait for it....beer!!! Can we get an Amen!!!
For a base of 75 bucks for 10 people you get a drink(non-alchoholic) and Ice Cream. And here's 'the really cool part(as if this isn't all ready cool enough)The birthday boy or girl gets to invent an Ice Cream flavor and take a pint home, and they also sell it that day to the public. You can also throw in some beer and pizza for an additional price.
We had two adults celebrating birthdays with 7 kids and 7 adults we mowed through several beers and 4 pizzas and the tab was around 150 bucks. The adults had some serious pinball competitions, while the kids played retro video games like Frogger and Dig Dug.
Just for the record one of the adults chose a cornbread jalapeno ice cream and the other chose a margarita ice; both pretty good.
God damn! Gourmet ice cream AND homemade waffle cones AND pinball AND classic arcade games AND pizza AND beer?!?! Fugg'n heaven!
Minus one star for no Medieval Madness.
I tried four flavors before settling on coffee ice cream (by far my favorite flavor), and I just wasn't impressed with any of them. They weren't bad, I guess I just expected more from all of the fantastic reviews here. The waffle cones were standard, but certainly fresh. There were a couple of interesting flavors (horchata and... mexican chocolate?) but otherwise it was standard. I only visited here once, so maybe I caught them on an off day.
I grew up next door to an ice cream shop, so I'm a harsh critic. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this ice cream, but it's a good choice if you are in the area.
I found it! I found it! I found it! Actually my friend found it. An ice cream shop around Seattle that really means business about being an ice cream shop. (Well, apparently also a local concert venue and pinball joint.)
For $3, you get a fresh waffle cone (I mean, literally, made out of batter in front of you when you order it) and up to three flavors of ice cream. And really the experience is about the ice cream, there's no upsell of yuppie packaging, other kinds of food, twenty million toppings -- no, Full Tilt just wants to hook you up with some great ice cream in a hot waffle cone.
The flavors change regularly but some of the more interesting I have seen have been cardamon and sweet potato. I will tell you, that sweet potato might be a weird color, but it is flipping good. Perhaps one of the things to best appreciate about Full Tilt, however, is their commitment to the standards. Sometimes that taste of childhood is just a plain vanilla or cookies n cream ice cream cone and Full Tilt can always dish it up.
Yes, I go out of my way to get to White Center to dine here. Yes, it is pretty close to an adult superstore. And yes, I also might or might not have my next birthday party at Full Tilt - I'd get to design my own ice cream flavor! (Don't act like you don't want an invitation.)
Yelpers Unite! Apparently I am the first Yelper to go in and say I read about Full Tilt on Yelp and wanted to check it out. Justin (the owner) was floored- "Wow. Yelp is always calling me to advertise I just didn't know if people were reading about us." "Hell yeah!"
Across from Stan's Super Adult and next to the Locker Room bar is one of the most glorious ice cream shops ever!
Where do I begin? The pinball games, the arcade games, the ice cream, the beer, the Popsicles, the super cool Justin?
The games: There is an excellent mix of old and new pinball machines. The older are more target based while the newer games are all bells, whistles and speed. The arcade games like Centipede, Tron, Pac man all push my buttons.
The ice cream: Yes, there are vegan options and an every rotating choice of flavors. The roomie had the Jameson Caramel and Guinness with Lucky Charms marshmallows! All in a fresh made waffle cone. I sampled some, but I ended up getting a Sweet Tea Popsicle. I told Justin I am hard to please when it comes to sweet tea as I consider myself an expert. It was sweet and lemony with a slice of lemon frozen into the Popsicle!
Justin: I love this guy! Talk to him about his time in Atlanta or how he used to work for a record company or book shows for the Off Ramp (El Corazon for the newbies)! He also humored us with our awe of Stan's and dive bars.
Hint: Go Tuesday nights for pinball madness! Tell them Yelp sent you!
I went here today and was very excited to get some vegan ice cream!
Sadly, maybe because it was later in the day, they were out of one of their vegan flavors, so I had no choice but to get chocolate orange ice cream (in a fresh waffle cone).
It was delicious!
They have a great mix of creative and traditional flavors, and some good games to entertain you if you're wanting to just chill.
It seems like they rotate their flavors pretty often, especially for the vegan flavors, which is exciting for someone who is lactose intolerant like me.
On a side note, I love the green walls.
Repeat visits show better pinball repair, and some game rotation. The dude is cool to talk with if things are not too hopping.
Their ice cream is the bomb. Even in winter.

Tasty ice cream/paletas. Opening night was crazy, so hard to judge service...they were running… Read more »
My friend and I like to eat odd flavors of ice cream wherever we go. So what was the very first thing we did when we got off the 5+ hour flight to Seattle? Went straight to Full Tilt! If you're also a tourist and you want to come here but won't be driving and think it'll be ridiculously out of the way to come during your trip because once you get to your hotel/downtown White Center seems like it's light years away, then take the 560 bus from SeaTac to 15th Ave & Roxbury and it's maybe a minute walk away. You can even transfer to the 60 after your ice cream to see Hat n Boots - which I believe you should because, hello, nothing goes better with ice cream than giant cowboy boots.
Anyway, once I read/saw the multiball sampler on Yelp I knew that's what I wanted. It was pretty good! I've never had ube anything before, let alone ice cream - it was sweeter and creamier than I thought it would be. I kept digging my little ice cream shovel into Blue Moon. My friend liked something light pink in color but I don't remember what it was, gah! I have no memory and kept forgetting what half of the flavors were so we kept trying to figure them out as we were eating them. I'm glad we came here instead of Molly Moon's which we passed by later in the day and saw a bazillion hipsters standing outside of. Full Tilt was more our type of place - a little more laid back, flavors more fun and whimsical instead of slightly pretentious, and we were able to devour our ice cream immediately instead of having to wait on a 30 minute line.
This is like the blue collar punk rock version of Molly Moon's Ice Cream.
Kind of like Shorties and Molly hooked up and had some messy unprotected hookup humpings on a pinball table and, a number of months later, produced a bouncing baby Full Tilt.
They have some creative ice cream flavors here and old school pinball and stand up console games. Things like Digdug, both Pacman and Ms Pacman, Missile Command, Twilight Zone pinball, and others.
I set the high score on a few of the video games, got a couple of replays on the pinball, and then had some chocolate covered bacon ice cream. Yikes. It was like dessert and dinner at the same time.
I don't think I'll have it again, but it was worth trying once.
The neighborhood is surprisingly ghetto. I made a special trip to this neighborhood just to hit this place.
Everyone is screaming about Molly Moon's, but I think it's overpriced and too long of a wait (45 minutes for ice cream, REALLY!). The ice cream at Full Tilt is good and there are flavors for all tastes and diets. The old pin ball and video games are great and give you a reason to stay and try more flavors.. Yeah, it's in White Center, but get over it. Rat City is not that bad. I say get in to the "less than desirable" neighborhoods and you may be surprised by places like Full Tilt.
This is really 4.5 stars. The prices are good here and they happened to have a band when I came in although the music wasn't really my taste. There are a lot of flavors to choose from. I liked the vanilla and the chocolate but the mexican chocolate was my favorite. They gave good portions for reasonable money. Of course they can do this because they are in White Center. That's where the 1/2 star goes, I'm not a fan of White Center. But, if you're in the area (during the day!) stop in and try some excellent ice cream. BTW, I'm adding these guys into my best ice cream list at #3 behind Peaks frozen custard and Husky Deli. They are a great value though.
This place is great. The flavors are awesome as are the people who work there. Drop that over priced and over hyped ice cream cone (you know who you are Golly Goons!) and get over to Full Tilt! Don't let its lack of a north Seattle zip code scare you!
When I visited Full Tilt, I didn't check to see how big their back room was. I'm banking on enough space for my bed and maybe a bookshelf, though, because I'm totally moving in. This place could easily become my Cheers, although I doubt the sweet man behind the counter ever yells anything in his life, much less "SHAUNAAAAAA!" You never know.
My friend and I were looking for a place to meet for a beer to talk about writing. We scrolled through the usual Georgetown and South Park suspects (9 Lb, Loretta's, Smarty Pants) until I remembered hearing about Full Tilt's selection of ice cream, beer, and pinball. We decided to give it a try and after a short five minute drive from the South Park bridge, we parked in one of the dozens of free back-in spots on the street and went inside. It was about 6pm on a Friday and the place was pretty chill. My friend tried a few flavors and settled on a scoop, but I couldn't deal with the options and went for the Multiball - a small scoop of each of their 16 flavors in a cup for $3. Amazing! I thought I'd have to go back for more, but the Multiball was more than enough and it was the perfect option for an indecisive ice cream lover like your old friend Shauna. We also got some beer - they had an extensive selection of bottles, as well as four seasonal flavors on tap.
The flavors were great. The chili mango was spicy and chewy, the Horchata was sweet and cinnamon-y, the salted caramel rivaled Molly Moon's (as did the birthday cake), and the Ube was delicious. As we enjoyed our ice cream and beer, a magical man came from the back of the shop and said "Do you guys want to taste this? I just made it...". He gave us a cup of fresh banana pineapple ice cream and it was delicious! When we were done with what we had, we each got another beer and a ton of quarters. I played NO FEAR pinball, which I'd never even seen, and some racing game that took me into the distant future where gas stations have just become floating green circles on the road. When we were leaving, some dudes were just loading in for a show and it looked like it would be loud and probably cool. My total for three beers and a Multiball was something like $12.
In short, this place is magic and justifies the drive to White Center (plus, I heard there's one on the way to Columbia City!). Lots of free parking. Delicious ice cream. Beer on tap. Cool staff. Tons of good games. Also, the location - between a Latin dance club, a biker bar, an "adult" store, and a Spanish tarot card shop - is worth the trip alone.
So, come visit. I'll be the one passed out on a cot in a sugar coma behind Ms. Pac Man.
I like this place and it's ice cream a lot. I've been twice and the first time I have what I typically do at any ice cream shop the first time I go which is a single scoop each of vanilla and chocolate. The ice cream is very good, it's not frozen custard good but it's good. On my second trip I had some mexican chocolate which is my favorite so far and the birthday cake flavor since I liked it at Peaks Frozen Custard so well. The birthday cake was just a bit too sweet in the less creamy version here but was still good. I love the pinball machines and they even had music going one of the nights I was there. All in all a pretty cool place.
I finally made it over to Full Tilt, it's kind of sort of in my backyard so I figured why not. I dragged GBF#2 with me and off we went for some new and interesting ice cream.
It was late, the streets were getting dark but it wasn't hard to find they had a sign right outside on the sidewalk directing you inside. But if you miss that just look for Stan's Adult Super Store its right across the street.
As you walk in you are welcomed right away and no sooner do you walk up to the ice cream case than samples are offered. I tried a sample of the Mexican chocolate, birthday cake and mango chili, all were delicious with the mango chili being cool but spicy, it provided a nice little burn in the back of my throat I liked it. But since it was almost gone and I didn't feel the need for them bringing out a new container just for me I decided to get a scoop of the Mexican chocolate, which too had a nice little spice kick to it and the birthday cake because it has funfetti looking things in it and who does not like funfetti, in a waffle cone.
GBF#2 went for their vegan dark chocolate, it's made with coconut milk so it was a bit dry and crumbly but it did have a nice dark chocolate taste to it. I will add it's not an ice cream made for a cone because it's so crumbly so you'll need to get it in a cup but they will gladly throw a cone on top for you.
Beside the vegan dark chocolate they also have two vegan paletas, which are Latin American ice pop usually made from fresh fruit and they are either milk-based or ice-based, the two vegan flavors they had were strawberry and pina colata, they also offer non-vegan paletas and I almost bought a mango chili one for later but decided against it I'll just come back again. I also over heard them mention they just found a recipe using rice milk instead of coconut milk and are soon going to try that as well, so you vegans can finally enjoy some tasty ice cream out in White Center.
The most important thing besides the tasty ice cream here is the fact that it's super cheap, two scoops in a waffle cone and a scoop in a cup ran around $5.50, I thought that was the price of just the waffle cone with the two scoops and get this my waffle cone was made fresh for me, it wasn't one sitting around the shop for a few hours or days I watched it being made just for me.
Oh I guess I should add they have pin ball machines and pac man and I'm not sure what else because all I really cared about was the ice cream.
A side note they do accept credit cards but require a $4.00 minimum to use it.
The promise of ice cream & pinball is enough to make me shake with excitement!!!
Here is what the owners promise:
The main focus is going to be ice cream (of course) and pinball. We will have about 12 pinball machines. The ice cream will be hand made. Twelve different flavors with six changing daily. In addition to that we will have baked goods and hand made ice cream bars and Popsicles. The ingredients are local and organic when available. We will always have a vegan selection as well as an array of vegan baked goods. Also we are looking to support local artists by having monthly art openings as well as bands on a semi regular basis.
Seriously the best ice cream ever. The first time I got Birthday Cake ice cream and it ruled. Big chunks of cake and sprinkles... yum. It wasn't too sweet either. Then I got Lemon Cheesecake. At first I couldn't really taste the cheesecake, but in my next bite I bit into a big hunk of it and it was gooood.
Last week I went in and was unsure of what I wanted to try. Looking at the menu I saw "Multiball sampler $3". I asked how many flavors I would get to try with that... answer "A melon ball size scoop of everything". Sweet! I didn't have to pick one flavor. And It was really more like a cookie dough scooper size scoop. So I got to try all 11 flavors they had that day for only $3.
The Horchata stood out... it was cinnamon-ey, almond-ey goodness. I also really enjoyed the mexican chocolate and mint chocolate chip. It's probably kind of a haul for most people to go to White Center, but it's worth it. Also, the owners are really trying to do something good in their neighborhood. They support local musicians and artists and I can support that too.
Full Tilt is not only dedicated to making of quality and delicious ice cream, it also challenges our conventional ideas and provokes the mind and taste-buds. On top of that, it is a local business that is fully vested in its community - the owners keep a daily blog dedicated to White Center and are deeply involved in the area's development.
White Center does need a lot of development, but its bad reputation is way too harsh. The ethnic-, immigrant- communities around here provide for a diverse neighborhood and Full Tilt is a welcome addition and just enhances the diversity that much more.
I'm so happy to have such a great hang-out in our neighborhood. The prices are great, the ingredients are quality and the flavors are totally fun!
So you never go to White Center. Not ever. Not for any reason. Well, now you have a reason, and let me tell you, it's a great one! Never fear, Full Tilt Ice Cream is here! This is a great local mom & pop that serves up homemade frozen sweet treats that will make your mouth water and will hopefully help to put White Center back on the map.
Full Tilt offers some unique concoctions in addition to some of the more traditional flavors. Mexican chocolate, blueberry cinnamon, and mango chile are just a few that give you a cold bite of flavors you'd expect to taste in something warm (cocoa, pie, etc.). These taste sensations can be sampled either as scoops or paletas (Mexican popsicles). My preference is to get one of their hand-made waffle cones filled with the Mexican chocolate. I don't know what it is about that extra hint of cinnamon that makes the chocolate even tastier, but it sure does.
The walls of Full Tilt are brightly colored and cheerful. Just past the counter is the seating area (already looking well-loved), and the inspiration for this shop's name - a wall of vintage pinball machines. These machines can transport you to the Summer of Love or to the front row of a KISS concert (ok, not really - but those are some of the game themes). Old-school video game lovers will also be happy to see an old friend - Pac Man - waiting for you here.
This shop is kid- and grown-up-friendly, and live music on weekends adds to the all-ages appeal. Hopefully Full Tilt is a sign of more good things to come for White Center!
Love Love LOVE this place. Full Tilt is just awesome. The couple who own and operate it are super nice and they make really great ice cream. I think I've had most of their flavors by now. They usually have a couple of vegan options, paletas that you can't get anywhere else, and some really cool inventive flavors like mango chile, birthday cake, horchata, strawberry cheesecake, blackberry cinnamon, etc. Want some chocolate covered bacon in your ice cream? This is the place, friend.
Oh, and they have a large selection of cane sodas, some great pinball and classic arcade games, a big seating area, and pints to go. They pretty much rule. Those snooty upstarts in Wallingford can only dream of being as awesome as Full Tilt.
Kind of easy to miss, we road by it the first time since it shares it's address with some place next door and we only saw the numbers on that business. Cash only!
Ah, an ice cream shop with vegan options. Just about time Seattle... err, White Center. Only a few miles from Georgetown but as Jeff said when we mentioned biking down, "there's nothing down about it."
Well lit place, nice selection of colas actually. I really enjoyed having a cold birch beer. The Coconut Pineapple vegan ice cream was great actually. They mentioned their surprise at the number of people coming in search of the vegan options.
Oh, and a Pacman standup. Not Ms Pacman, regular Pacman. Awesome.
I went today with a group of friends and we really enjoyed ourselves. As a child of the 80's (should I admit that???) I spent quite a bit of time in game rooms and played pinball and pacman. It was great to introduce my daughter to those games. I will admit, the neighborhood is what kept me from going for so long but I ventured out anyway and thought it was great. I hope that White Center gets more businesses like that one. Close down the adult bookstore, put in some great paces like Full Tilt.
Ok so I was just corrected... Full Tilt's vegan ice cream IS made from coconut. Yay! I'm not sure what they sweeten it with, but next time I'm down there I'll ask.
One more reason Full Tilt rocks my socks!

This place is the shizzzzzzz!!! And I don't even eat ice cream!
Hand made ice cream and pinball,… Read more »
I signed up for Yelp JUST to give a review of Full Tilt. Holy cow, I love this place. This is what makes Seattle so much better than wherever you're from. Punk rock, ice cream, and pinball do great things when married together. Aside from the unbelievably cool vibe of the place, the ice cream is off the chain delicious. I guess the dude makes up his own recipes or some crap? I had coconut ice cream (which was SOOO coconutty and tasty!), and Raspberry Marshmallow, which was also extremely yummy. Also, they MADE me a waffle cone while I waited and watched (and drooled). It was the greatest thing ever. And they have shows from local bands and KISS pinball (and Pac Man, Mortal Kombat, etc.). Who needs the adult mega store across the street? Full Tilt - you satisfy my every need!
Very cool place tucked into a developing neighberhood. Best of all he has some options for lactose intolerant people like me. They have vegan ice cream with very good flavor. Great for me AND my wife which is rare. The toasted coconut ice cream was awesome and milk free. Yay!
Their vegan ice cream is some of the best I've had, especially the pumpkin, and half of their space is a fantastic retro arcade where every game is in good condition! A sit-down Missile Command, Tron, Ms Pac Man, Pac Man, Dig Dug, Super Mario Brothers, Centipede, Road Blasters. They also have a great lineup of pinball, including Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man, Jacks Open, Twilight Zone, No Good Gofers, Funhouse, Sinbad and Ready Aim Fire.
thanks for the correction! ube is NOT taro... as I previously thought...

yay!!! i just found my new absolute favoritest flavor of ice cream - Ube!!! For those of you that… Read more »
All I gotta say is that their Birthday Cake flavor is OSSUM! Those lil frozen chunks of lemon cake and the gumball-looking colors are to die for. The Horchata is also most excellent. I will have to sample more flavors for sure!
Fantabulous ice cream shop in White Center of all places! The people who run it are super friendly and laid back. A great spot to relax and just chill, no uppity Seattle pretenses here. Super creative flavors. I tried the Mango Chile and Mexican Chocolate (they would make a great combo). I also had the Salted Peanut Caramel and the Blackberry Dark Chocolate Chip. I loved that the Salted Peanut Caramel had just the right amount of salt/peanut/caramel/ice cream mixture, not over-salty like the other new ice cream shop in town (say Wallingford). The pinball and arcade games are a fun touch and only a quarter to play. They also have live music some nights and offer birthday packages for the kiddos in your life!
Cool atmosphere, yummy ice-cream, great service and creative flavors. The owner told us they are opening a spot in Columbia City soon with a music venue. I think it will do really well there, the location in White Center is a little rough.....
I had mango chili icecream in a nice freshly made waffle cone. Amazingly delicious! I live in West Seattle and Husky Deli icecream is good. But Full Tilt fills a different niche. The flavors are more adventuresome. And Husky Deli doesn't have porn shops next door and across the street. That just adds to Full Tilt's charm.
