Here are three family-friendly local joints with interesting takes on ice cream in Seattle.

For an interesting but classic treat, check out Shug’s Soda Fountain & Ice Cream located in the heart of Pike Place Market. Sourcing local ice cream and sorbets from Lopez Island Creamery, the shop offers flavors like Curious George and Sunday Market, along with shakes and malts. 1525 First Ave.

Sweet rewards await at Cold Plate in the University District, offering Thai-style ice cream and other treats. Sweet cream poured on a cold slab, mixed and rolled into cylinders. Top with fresh fruit, decadent sauces and sprinkles … mmm, mmm, good! 5240 University Way N.E.

Craving soft serve with a twist? Head over to Nana’s Green Tea, offering matcha ice cream swirled with chocolate or vanilla and a smattering of boba. 1007 Stewart St., Suite 103
