There is nothing this place could improve, except to be open every day at all hours. Ha. Seriously, the friendliest folks behind the counter serving up the most fun & unique ice cream concoctions. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Zephyr Ice was the perfect way for me and my technician to end the day after seeing appointments around Portland. It is always a wonderful experience, no matter the season!! 🤤

Welcoming place, awesome staff and owner. I tried the shave ice coffee special and it was very tasty and refreshing. 100% recommend!!

I can't recommend Zepyr Ice enough! Their vegan coconut ice cream is delicious, and it’s incredibly easy to create unique vegan combinations with the syrups (real fruit) for the shaved ice. The fruit syrups are absolutely incredible! The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent.

Deeeelicious homemade ice & ice cream desserts! I've lived around the corner from this place for a while but had never gone in because I didn't know it had vegan offerings. Their vegan coconut ice cream is AMAZING and the shaved ice combo is delightfully refreshing on a hot day. Fair warning: the sizes seem ridiculously big (including the "small") but the shaved ice part is so super fluffy and light that it all disappears easily (even if you're *sure* there's no way you could eat it all). The staff has always been so pleasant even when it's crowded with customers; if you encounter a long line, please know it's worth the wait. Bonus: on my last visit, I discovered they sell their vegan ice cream by the pint!

10/10!!! We had so many versions of shave ice in Hawaii but this, this tops them all!!! The flavors are just so strong and delish! The Mac nut ice cream is fantastic as well!

Delicious! If you haven’t experienced shaved ice and ice cream together you are missing out! And Zephry’s takes the cake with the homemade ice cream! Definitely recommend!

Amazing customer service and the ice cream is just as great .
Went to Zephyr ice for the first time last night after a Mariner’s game. Honestly I’m so sad I didn’t find this place sooner! It’s so good, a bit overwhelming at first with all the choices, but between the 5 of us in our party, each combo we had was uniquely perfect! I can’t wait to go back and try something else!!!

I had visited Hawaii once and was craving Hawaiin shave ice when I went to Google where the closest place I could get one and living in a remote town I was SHOOK to see there was Zephyr Ice in Portland. We drove up from Boothbay to check this spot out and boy did it hit!
The ice itself was outstanding - so soft a fluffy. They make their own natural fruit syrups. I am a huge coconut fan and was very happy with my choice. If you're familiar with shave ice and the syrups, Zephyr's coconut looks much whiter compared to the clear, mass produced syrups but it was so delicious. I highly recommend. I also am a typical vanilla gal but they made their own macadamia nut ice cream that I had to try and was so glad that I passed on the normal vanilla. It was delicious! I topped my with toasted coconut which was a nice touch.
I would come here still even if I didn't love the ice just because we got to meet the owners and they were just so lovely. Luckily, the ice was delicious that it will be a bonus to come back to this place. They are so passionate about their place, the syrups and hawaiin ice and are honestly just so lovely. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in and she guided my boyfriend through his first hawaiin ice experience. They were so laid back and easy going. My boyfriend and I both work in the hospitality industry and we love when we see owners right there in the mix and that's what these two were doing. Good for them!
We will be back again soon - they are open all winter (THANKFULLY)! Thank you again for your top notch service!

This place is so good! The syrups are made with real fruit and the house-made ice cream is incredible.
