We wanted ice cream or something sweet after dinner and our car took us here on a Friday night. So glad we did. Bluebird has been on my radar for a while now and we just got around to trying some. It's tucked next to a Greek restaurant next door. They do small batches of listed flavors. I think I counted 10 flavors. Some typical flavors, some not so conventional. I'm sure this place gets pretty packed and busy in the warmer months. So late winter/early spring is the best time to come give them a try. They (IMO) are one of the local ice cream heavyweights around town. The only draw back is the parking, there is residential parking and not enough business parking. Maybe when the weather gets nicer you can park a little further away and work up an appetite for some yummy ice cream ? ?

I am not sure what the recent ratings are about. Salted caramel was salty milk basically. I have never thrown away ice cream in my life until I had from here and I am pretty sad about that life event. Please avoid.

Their Fudge Chocolate flavor is some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I typically order something other than chocolate when I get ice cream, but not when this flavor is available. It reminds me of eating brownie batter out of the bowl. I wish they carried it year round!Always worth a visit to Blue Bird :)

Have had bluebird at a couple farmer's markets and hired them for a private event over the summer. SOOOOO good and the homemade waffle cones are the best. Looking forward to my next event with them. The flavors are incredible and the staff is so warm and friendly. All around wonderful.

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have a higher rating. We have tried almost all of the seasonal flavors and a few of the standard ones, and they all blew us away. The cookie butter seasonal flavor is unbelievable, as is the chocolate hazelnut. We also loved the chocolate chunk. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. I only wish we found it sooner!

Best ice cream ever! We came here because I was craving a sweet treat and I was specifically looking for soft serve ice cream. I had their vanilla bean and my boyfriend had the mint. And both were absolutely delicious.

I travel a lot for work and this is legitimately the best ice cream that I've had in the US. It's incredibly creamy and I can eat a pint and feel fine, which tells me it is made with real ingredients. It's not overly sweet and tastes like traditional creamery ice cream.

Someone has to explain to me, us, how and why this ice cream is considered good. We have been here several times. What I taste is bland uninspired flavors and watered down ice cream. Take your favorite flavor, cut the sweetness 75% and presto, you have Bluebird! The cost doesn't help but honestly that doesn't matter as long as you can back it up, Bluebird cannot.

Not a review for this location but just for their ice cream in general- They have a stand at the Bellevue farmers market on Thursdays and their ice cream is delicious + their staff is always very friendly! Waffle cones are freshly made and all their flavors are fantastic. I especially liked lemon cookie from last week, their vanilla and strawberry are also favorites for my family and I. Whenever we go to the farmers market we have to get Bluebird ice cream, it's delicious!

Went in for 4 ice creams today and 2 of them were SO soupy right when they were handed to us. We were actually sipping from the cup instead of eating it like hard serve ice cream. The flavors were good, but sad that we were given melted ice cream.

Wow I’m impressed with this spot! Lots of flavor and huge portion sizes! I would go to say it’s better than Molly Moons! I’ll be coming back.

Quite possibly the best ice-cream I've ever had in my life. Not too sweet, clean, pure. Has an old fashioned taste like you churned it yourself. Loved it so much I got a hand packed pint to go as well when I got done with my cone. I dont know what to say except you've got to try it. Cute vintage soda bar vibe inside and the samples are given on small metal spoons. Excellent house made waffle cones. A couple side walk tables out front. Small and quaint neighborhood ice cream parlor. Don't miss it!

Pretty good service and cute spot, but the ice cream itself is very plain and they were out of a bunch of the toppings that would make it more interesting. It tastes ok, but you're stuck with one scoop size so it goes to waste if you just want a little bit. If you are into plain flavors, this place is probably your jam but it's definitely not for me.

Pretty good but not great. The smells emanating from their store and wafting down the block are most arresting. That's what pulled us in against our better judgment (only because we'd just eaten a rather large dinner, and dessert pushed us over the edge). Expect a long line on a nice evening. The poor person toiling alone to serve the neverending line of customers... They obviously were ready to end their shift and had nothing left to give in terms of service. I had the maple hickory ice cream in a waffle cone. The ice cream was tasty, but I should have had it in a bowl because the cone made it just a wee too sweet for me. I tried a taste of the vegan horchata and was glad I didn't get it because it was a little icy and a tad too tangy for my liking. The coconut base really came through. I do appreciate that they have a couple vegan options, though! Love the old timey ice cream shoppe vibes. Don't like the hidden credit card processing fee that showed up on my receipt. Also that I was charged it twice for one transaction. It's only 20 cents, but still... there were no alternative ways to pay.
