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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

An absolute gem! I cant believe I had never heard of this ice cream company before. Unfortunately were selling our house and so I wont be able to enjoy Full Tilt for much longer. Best ice cream Ive had in years! My daughter absolutely loves it too.

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!

I was there for my nephews birthday party. They were very accommodating, but Im not sure they were adequately prepared for a party of our size. Even so, they were very polite, and took care of a lot of the small details.

My family loves this place! Its our special treat on any given day of the week when we need an ice cream fix. Full of character and unique flavors that rotate through as time goes on to keep you coming back for more!!

Really great icrecream and arcade spot. Love that they offer vegan flavors, as well, for those of us who cant enjoy dairy. My only critiques are that the location is a little out of the way and the space is dark.

William Bosquez

Love this place. We often drop in after dinner in Columbia City then walk home in the fading twilight eating ice cream and just enjoying the neighborhood. My favorite is Blue Moon which tastes like fruity pebbles

Chris Petersen

One of the smaller Full Tilt locations in the area, but that shouldnt be a reason to stay away. A great selection of classic video games, pinball machines, and of course some of the best ice cream in Seattle.

Jonathan Valdez

I love the atmosphere, I love the location. I love the flavors. But PLEASE fix the UBE ice cream. Its too mello, you need to jam pack it with UBE. Taste like a purple Vanilla Ice Cream.

Fred Roberts

Expensive but creative flavors. Kina dank and run down space. Classic 80s video games, classic pinball...lots of little girls with their hipster dads reliving their youth...

Damian Smith

Great place for kids and adults,they have old school pinball and arcade machines. The ice cream is pretty good they have a bunch of unheard-of flavors. Give them a try.

Good not great ice cream. Tastes homemade. Its not very decadent--definitely a milkyer and more sugary ice cream. Still pretty yummy, well come here again probably.

Christopher Horton

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.

Alexandr Shafer

Amazing ice cream, great rotating beer selection, and pinball. what more do you need? Theres not many places both my kids and my friends both want to go.

Shemona Moreno

Me and my kiddos love this place. some of the best ice cream in seattle and the kids and I go crazy for the pinball and street fight machines.

Peter Smalley

Small but awesome! Play some arcade games, eat an ice cream cone...drink a beer! It has everything you ever wanted in a barcade.

Paul Jaye

Great ice cream, great place to take the family. Old school video games and a truly eclectic music mix, this place has it all!

Keith Comeau

dang this is a great ice cream store! what a time we have getting up to some old time fun with the flipping and dinging.

Jeremiah Weed

Great ice cream, awesome tunes with a real old school stereo system, nice staff. Great pinball and video games too!

Chris Free

Felt depressing inside. Ice cream and video games shouldnt feel worse than sitting on the bench outside.
