After graduating from UW with an Art degree, Lois Ko began pursuing her dream of creating the best ice cream in the Pacific Northwest. In 2016, she opened Sweet Alchemy where she prioritizes sustainability and strives to only use local, organic ingredients.
I love the fresh and unique flavours here! Seriously my favorite place in U district ♡ I’ll be here a lot this summer!
This place have such good ice cream. I love that they use local ingredients to make the ice cream and they are always so delicious. Some flavors are seasonal and some are fixed but either way, you can’t go wrong!
Love the creative flavors and quality of ice cream. Wonderful collaborations and been made. What amazed me the most was the passion Lois has for her business and how quickly she pivoted during covid. How many owners would give people their phone number to order. Early on I know she had many late nights making sure deliveries were made to people’s front door.
I scream for ice cream! No, like literally, I do! Hands down, Sweet Alchemy is my favorite ice cream store in the PNW. I especially love the London Fog and love their ice cream cakes! Also, its woman-owned by the sweetest owner, Lois!
I love ice cream A LOT. With Sweet Alchemy owner, Lois, I have met my match – someone who agrees that a pint is a legit serving size! I appreciate the love and care that Lois and her team put into their ice cream, cakes, and other treats. This is one of the few ice cream shops that makes their own base, which means that you can rest assured that the ingredients are sustainably and locally sourced. While I tend to pick up my ice cream in person, it is dangerously awesome that pints are also available for delivery!
