Hellenika Cultured Creamery is a cultured gelato company based in Seattle, Washington. The business operates shops at Pike Place Market and in the University District.
Description
[edit]In Seattle, Hellenika Cultured Creamery operates at Pike Place Market and in the University District.[1] The Pike Place Market shop offers twelve flavors of cultured gelato.[2] Seating is not available.[3] The interior has blue and white tiles,[4] a stainless steel counter, and a kitchen at the back of the shop. Among gelato flavors are coconut ube, dutch chocolate,[5] fairy bread, honey lavender,[4] honey macadamia, honeydew mint,[1] lemon curd, London fog (made with Earl Grey tea from nearby MarketSpice, marionberry,[6] pistachio,[7] and vanilla malt.[8] According to KING-TV, Hellenika uses cultures that "are more understated than those used in traditional yogurt" so the "tangy taste is less intense and more flavorful".[9]
History
[edit]Brothers Alex and Pete Apostolopoulos are co-founders of Hellenika,[2] which opened in the space previously occupied by Bavarian Meats in 2023.[6]
Reception
[edit]In 2024, Jade Yamazaki Stewart and Harry Cheadle included Hellenika in Eater Seattle's list of fourteen "great" restaurants near Pike Place Market,[4] and Sophie Grossman included the business in an overview of fifteen of the "coolest places" for ice cream and gelato in the city.[8] Aimee Rizzo and Kayla Sager-Riley recommended the coconut ube in The Infatuation's 2024 list of Seattle's best ice cream.[5]
