I LOVE the decor of the matador pictures all over the walls mixed w/ the giant red lanterns.  The tequila is good, and I'm not even the hugest tequila fan.  

I know it sounds crazy, but my one pet peeve was that I think it would have been cool to add…More »

Molly Moon's ice cream is the bomb. No doubt about it.

My usual favorites are the "scout mint" which has girl scout cookie crumbles in it, and the "vivace coffee"... the chocolate is also to die for.

this place is FABULOUS!!!

Dick's is a staple of Seattle.  It's a MUST-HAVE for any out-of-towner visiting our beautiful city.  And like my friends say, there's nothing like the taste of dick's in your mouth.
