Description

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

Siblings Alex, Connie, and Pete Apostolopoulos are co-founders of Hellenika, [2] [10] which opened in the space previously occupied by Bavarian Meats in 2023. [6]
