Where do Queen Anne-ers like to hang out on a Saturday night?

Apparently at the Molly Moon’s ice cream truck that’s been hanging out in Upper Queen Anne five nights a week all month long. The truck is parked outside Pizza Hut, at 2231 Queen Anne Ave N, until 10 p.m. tonight (it is in QA from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from noon to 10 on Saturdays and Sundays).

Molly Moon’s is testing out Queen Anne as a possible location for its third store. Over the next month the local ice creamery will be deciding between QA, Ballard and Madrona.

The Parfait Artisan Ice Cream truck has been hitting the streets of Seattle—and Queen Anne—for quite some time now. What I didn’t know is that owner and chef Adria Shimada has been mixing up all her organic flavors and sweet concoctions out of a commercial kitchen right here in Lower Queen Anne!

As of this week Parfait has also added two Queen Anne stops to its regular schedule.The truck will be outside of Caffe Fiore on Galer from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday evenings, and at the Queen Anne Farmers Market every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m.

While the idea of a mobile ice cream shop may not be exactly new, Adria says Parfait is 100 percent unique.

“I am currently the only ice cream maker in Seattle that is both made-from-scratch and all organic. I don’t purchase a pre-fab ice cream mix from Snoqualmie Gourmet. Rather, I make my own custards by hand in the Parfait kitchen using certified organic dairy, eggs, and produce that I source directly from small local farms. The base of Parfait ice cream has only four ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, and eggs. Pure and simple. There is no corn or stabilizers of any kind in my ice cream.  I also make all of my own cones, and all of the confections that go into my ice cream. Parfait is REAL food, slow food, and truly farm-to-cone! It’s also pretty delicious, if I must say so myself,” she wrote.

MyBallard visited the Parfait kitchen (a commercial kitchen for rent called Cookspace) and took video of Adria making vanilla bean ice cream. The local ice cream maker was also covered on NPR’s Weekend Edition on Sunday (listen to that here), and was featured in the July issue of Sunset Magazine as one of the West’s Best Ice Creams.

In addition to Parfait’s regular flavor offerings, it also has a few scrumptious sounding seasonal flavors, including blueberry ice cream, vegan apricot sorbet, and new brownie ice cream sandwiches.

To keep up with the latest, check Parfait’s schedule, and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

A couple of weeks ago Molly Moon’s asked Seattle neighborhoods to tweet them suggestions for where to park their brand new ice cream truck, and Queen Anne was among the winning ‘hoods to get a first taste of the sweet new mobile ice cream experience.

Enough fans in Madrona, Ballard and Queen Anne tweeted the ice cream makers begging them to swing by, that we won first route rights! In fact, we hear the truck was parked outside of Queen Anne’s own Eat Local from 3 to 5 p.m. yesterday, Sunday, June 6.

I didn’t get a chance to stop by myself, but I hope others in the neighborhood did! Maybe if we send them some more love over Twitter and the blogosphere, they’ll come back to Queen Anne soon!
