We start with the simplest ingredients–––organic cream, organic egg yolks, organic milk, and organi For our neighbors, students and families, Sweet Alchemy is a specialty ice cream and cake shop that is passionate about great flavors and good ingredients. We will be the only ice cream shop in King County certified as a creamery. We took this extra combersome step so that we can have full control o
f what to put in, and what not to put in to our ice cream. We will be making everything from scratch from as much fresh produce and dairy as we can. We promise to search for the best ingredients, local first and organic second. I'm not promising we will be perfect, but I can promise we will try our best in the product we serve as well as the service we provide so that we deliver lasting relationships and inspire happiness with every creation.

Gingerbread is Lois's favorite holiday flavor for a couple good reasons. It's the perfect ice cream for the holiday cold with warm spices, candied ginger, brown sugar, and molasses 😋
If you love macarons and our holiday flavors, then you'll love our holiday macarons. It's made with delicious seasonal favorites such as gingerbread, peppermint chocolate, cranberry orange, and eggnog. 🎄✨
In early 2016, armed with a Food Science Course from Penn State, an art degree from the University of Washington, and her natural rebellious creativity, Lois Ko, opened Sweet Alchemy Ice Creamery in the heart of U-District, Seattle. Using ice cream as her artistic medium Lois prides herself on using ingredients from meticulously selected local farms. Delivering the best genuine taste through creative flavors.
Farm-to-Cone
Sweet Alchemy is a WSDA certified creamery, dedicated to producing micro batch, organic, and hyper-locally sourced ice cream. We craft our “Sweet Cream” base daily from organic ingredients, most of which are sourced within 100 miles of our storefront. Freshness is of the upmost importance to us, which is why we especially love the dairy from Fresh Breeze Organics, a family owned farm in Lynden, WA. This commitment does not stop with our ice cream base— our sauces, toppings, flavor mix-ins, and waffle cones are also made from scratch in our small shop with ingredients from our community to our community.
Sustainability and Community
We are not only passionate about offering the best desserts in town; sustainability and community are our cornerstones. We partner with hyper-local farms whose goals align with our own: to educate our community, lessen food waste, support organic practices, and to take excellent care of our environment. Within our store we do our part to divert waste from landfills by serving everything in compostable or reusable ware. We engage in continuous discovery, rediscovery, and invention as we learn more about the impacts of our actions. For Sweet Alchemy it isn’t just about today, it’s about sharing a tomorrow.
