“I'm here to Review their ice cream cakes! It was always a treat to get an ice cream cake for birthdays. Strawberry is delish and also Oreos is a winner. Definitely makes for a sweet treat celebration!Also if you weren't aware, any months that end in 31, have 31% off scoops. Seems like there's way more than 31 flavors. The menu seems extensive with various dessert options and changing with fun items. Too bad they don't have peppermint on the regular menu. Only seasonal and that can run out fast.“
“Menchies is your typical yogurt place. They are definitely practicing social distancing. They only allow one group to go to the yogurt machines at a time and they sanitize after each group. They also provide their toppings in little containers now. I don't recall how they rang them up but I don't think it was more expensive than their usual precovid pricing. I would recommend this place if you so want a treat but you're trying to be very careful. Two thumbs up for that.“
“I've heard so much about this ice cream, so I'm glad I finally got to try it.I really appreciate that they let you do half scoops so I could try more flavors. My husband and I split a double scoop waffle cone with:- Passionfruit Yuzu Mochi Donuts & Whey Curd- Pear & Blue Cheese- Arbequina Olive Oil- Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black PepperFirst off, this is the only place I have been with waffle cones as good as Jeni's, which was a pleasant surprise.Weird flavors are right up my alley, so I was in heaven. The strawberry balsamic was hands down my favorite because the flavor was so intense. The passion fruit one would be my second choice.I would happily come back, but there are many other places I want to try while we're in Portland too. Too much ice cream to try is quite the problem to have.“
“I’ve worked here for a couple months now and it really feels like family. My coworkers always let me know of my mistakes right after or before my shift is over. Working shifts with Kate has been really exciting as I’ve just gotten to learn more about her and she lets me know what I can do better on. I never realized just how many people can’t have dairy and gluten. The people that come in that realize they can try all the flavors and that they’re all vegan they are extremely happy. It’s been really fun working here and my favorite part is making the waffle cones!!“
“Our whole fifth grade class showed up at once to celebrate after a school play. We had a fun time, the ice cream was delicious and the people serving us were super great. They were very patient with all the kids, too!Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere was perfect for a crowd of excited kids!“
“Definitely a must try at least once! The ice cream flavors change often, but there are always the consistent flavors that are there every time. It's worth going in and asking for a sample of as many kinds as you want to try until you find your favorite (they use actual silverware for the samples).“
“The fact that they have lihing powder as a topping already sets the bar! I luckily stumbled upon this little gem as I was walking through the area. I find it very hard to find a good shave ice place on mainland. And I was especially surprised to find one in Portland! Wailua shave ice is a Hawaiian style shaved ice place. They make their ice very thin and soft and nothing like your typical snow cone. The fact that the owners are from Kauai is a bonus as my family is from there as well. They most certainly do not skimp out on syrup or toppings. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the area. The only downside is that they do not have indoor seating. However, there are plenty of benches you can sit at nearby the store itself. This will be added to my must stops in Portland!“
“Great service, really helpful staff! Yummy custard which is hard to find around here!! We drove down from Vancouver just for this! Worth it!Vegetarian options: SorbetsDietary restrictions: Gluten freeKid-friendliness: Kids were able to order and the employee was very patient!“
“Super cool snack store with some very interesting and creative sundaes ? it’s a perfect dessert place after a meal at nearby restaurants or bars.We got the cheese and crack sundaes with a marshmallow on top. Super good and we can barely finish it ?“
“Ice Queen always has the best options and the staff are so welcoming. The flavors are as if they're made of real milk and the choices for toppings are always lovely. And if you don't want to wait you can always get one of the multitude of flavors of popsicles. 100% recommend if you're in the “
“Oh man. I was with a friend at the Saturday market when I saw the kulfi cart and stopped in my tracks. I hadn't had kulfi since I left the bay area, and they did not disappoint! The taste, the texture, the portion size - all of the fun and none of the guilt. If you want a decadent sweet treat, go find them!“
“Had the cheese matcha and it is the best in the game!! Super high quality matcha, not too much ice and the cheese topping adding just the perfect amount of savory creamy goodness to the drink. Favorite matcha place in all of Portland and the metro area!“
“Decide to try this out as it is a cute little shop off Division. Walking in, you could see the quaint shop and we were greeted with friendly faces. As it was our first time, we were encouraged to try every flavor and multiple times, if wanted. Met the gelato maker, who hails from Europe, who told us a bit about how he makes the gelato. The gelato was decadent and so smooth. Each flavor was very rich and could tell it wasn't airy. I typically like fruity flavors, but everything here was delicious. Definitely recommend Pinolo and will be coming back! Amazing gelato, friendly service, and cute decor, what's not to love?“
“Quaint, smaller ice cream shop with fun vibes. It's a smaller establishment that can comfortably seat only about twenty people. It can also get pretty crowded at night. The ice cream is high quality and comes in a lot of unique flavors with gluten free and vegan options. I personally recommend the mango sticky rice flavor. A classic scoop will run you about six bucks. Masks and hand sanitizer are not offered here, but the tables and counters are cleaned frequently.“
“Incredibly palatable and allergen friendly dessert. They have gluten free waffle cones that are amazing. I think they actually taste better than the normal ones… they’re somehow crispy and chewy at the same time. The dairy free ice cream is super light and fluffy. Relative to most ice cream, this is a healthy treat.Dietary restrictions: Waffle cones and coconut ice cream are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.“
“This place is my childhood. Full of nostalgia. The ice cream is PERFECT and delicious. They offer a variety of flavors, there's something for everyone! All the employees that I've interacted with are super wonderful and polite. The way everything is set up inside makes the process of ordering and receiving your food intuitive and stress-free. They have some tables inside, but it's a popular place so the tables are often occupied. It's a very convenient location.“
“I always seem to find myself wandering in here when I have had a no-good, lousy day. I have left every single time feeling better. The staff here are so kind and thoughtful. I never feel rushed to order, I always end up striking up a great convo with whoever is working, and without a doubt I always walk out feeling so much better than when I walked in. They really do put the neighborhood in neighborhood creamery. This is a classic old fashioned ice cream parlor and family run small business. They source their dairy from local vendors and farmers, they have fun seasonal specials, and they even sell Spumoni ice cream which as an Italian-American, I thoroughly appreciate this hard to find gem of a flavor. Also, can we talk about their ice cream cakes?? Simply the best. My friends and I order them for all of our birthdays. Once I called very last minute because I forgot to place my order and they managed to put together an ice cream cake SAME DAY. First, don't do this to these poor people, order in advance like a sane person. Second, if you do ask for such an absurd request, tip largely. Very largely. Sanity may not be my strong-suit, however forgetfulness is. I called right when they opened and by 5pm I picked up a beautiful and delicious fresh ice cream cake. I will never forget how kind they were about it and how thoughtful they were to ensure our cake didn't melt in transport across town. That cake was the hit of the party as it always is and I will never order ice cream cake anywhere else. (I also make sure to order in advance now)“
“Such a cute place. Lots of cute stuff. Delicious coffee and treats, I didn't really look at the menu as my eyes were on the pastries. I took a felting class with a friend here and had the best time. Cute clothes for sale, crafts, and retro trinkets. The cutest mushroom stuff. Just a great vibe all around. Highly recommend a visit.“
“It'd be tough to imagine a better ice cream shop. This place had a line 20 people at the door so we knew it would be worth trying. We were able to get in pretty quickly, and were instantly met with you recognizable aroma of hot, fresh waffle cones. The ambience makes it feel a little bit more upscale, but the staff is so friendly and makes it a fun and casual place to get some delicious ice cream. They let me sample almost every flavor and seemed excited that I wanted to keep trying. They serve a wide variety of classic and more non-traditional flavors. I ended up getting a scoop of olive oil and a scoop of their special cookie dough, but would have been delighted with all of the options. They were all lusciously creamy, and the flavors were excellent!“
“While in Portland today a friend said we has to stop here and try the donuts. She'd seen it featured in feed Phil. I was a little skeptical but figured I'd give it a try. We each picked out a donut and let me tell you. Has I not known they were vegan I'd have never know. Probably best donuts I've had in awhile. We had pear fritter 10/10 Cookie dough 10/10 Portland fog 9/10 Bear claw 10/10. I'll be back here for sure next time!! Only wish I'd gotten some to take home.“
“I always order out from this place and it's ALWAYS perfect! Never once have I got a wrong order and they are always super friendly when they need to call for something to be switched. The food is really good as well, I like simple things but I have tried a bunch of there menu items and they always are delicious!“
“This is an unassuming place due to its name and decor, but let me assure you it is quite the hidden gem! At first glance it looks like just another Froyo place, and they also serve Churros as per their biggest advertisements.... But don't let this fool you. This is a Vietnamese establishment, making conventional desserts with Vietnamese flair as well as traditional Vietnamese desserts. It's difficult to find Ube or Pandan in the area, but this place has a few desserts for both. Do not sleep on their Che, it is phenomenally tasty! The service is very friendly, and they are happy to serve and delight you. Seating is plentiful and cute, especially by the fish tank. If you're into tropical desserts, definitely give this place a try! But if you're into their Froyo, definitely still go! You can't go wrong !“
“We got two split cones....one half pomegranate, half peach.......the other half strawberry, half lemon poppyseed. All for flavors were delicious. Both people serving us were friendly and had a good balance of chatting but keeping the steady line moving. Close to home, will definitely be back.“
“I've heard great things about Fifty Licks and this is the first time visiting. I came here for dessert with a friend and we were greeted right away by friendly service and super helpful flavor suggestions. We were looking for non-dairy options and they had a lot of great and yummy options on their menu (basically the right half of their menu) immediately drawn to mango sticky rice flavor. We tried a few flavors before deciding on 2 mini scoops each for dining in with colorful ceramic bowls. I got mango sticky rice and the mocha mud pie (a coffe chocolate chip with strong fragrant coffee flavor). My friend got burnt honey and the chocolate coconut caramel which was also very rich and creamy. There were two picnic style tables with stools and the vibe is super chill but cheerful with all the colors. It got pretty busy with lots of people coming in and out enjoying some great ice cream on a Saturday night. Parking could be tricky but we got lucky with a spot right across the street. We will be back!“
“I had a great experience. There was no wait for a seat which is a nice treat in Portland. The cafe is right on the water front so it was a great view of the river. The cafe was clean and tables were tended to quickly as people left to make room for others.The coffee was good and I really enjoyed my food. Everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered the sweet breakfast which allowed me to taste the flavorful pancakes. I was pleased that they came with the sweet cream and a bit of fruit. The bacon was on point and cooked perfectly.One friend ordered the Salmon bagel sandwich and it looked really good. I think I will try that next time. Another friend got a dish that had the potatoes. She really liked the potatoes and the other person with us agreed they were good.Everyone was so friendly that worked there. I will absolutely be coming back and recommend this gem to others.“
“Super cute little juice shop. Incredibly friendly staff. They go above and beyond and are super engaging and friendly. There was a young 18 year old there with blonde short hair who really was just the sweetest to me when I walked in, very easy to talk to and I commented how mature she seemed. She took a to go order over the phone for me (my daughter was playing softball at the park down the street) and she was super accommodating. I told all the parents on my daughters softball team how cute and delicious the shop was and that they should try it out. A+ in my book! I got the green juice and a chocolate and banana protein bowl... absolutely delightful“
“The vegan frozen yogurt is delicious - my niece wants to come here all the time! We dropped some frozen yogurt and were given a replacement, no questions asked. They cleaned up the mess we made and made us feel like it was no big deal. What a wonderful place.“
“A quaint spot serving fresh gelatos. We got the largest size with four scoops to share for $6, pretty decent price! Their Orange Creamsicle and Banana gelatos were very delicious. Light but full of authentic flavors, not too sweet as well. Wish they have the pistachio flavor when we're there though. Their Espresso made for a good pairing with the sweet treats.“
“We love Nico’s ice cream. We especially love that they use REAL fruit in their ice cream, but there is a big BUT. When we learned about the ingredients that go into their ice cream, we were very disappointed. There is corn syrup among the many ingredients. Ice cream really should have a few simple ingredients: cream, sugar, and vanilla flavor. That’s it. We would be regular customers if the ice cream base was changed. That’s why we’re giving it 4/5 stars.“
“I’ve been here only 3 times but every time has been such a great experience. Their bagels are actually the best bagels I’ve ever had, espresso is bold yet smooth, prices are super affordable compared to other coffee chains and service is always super friendly!! I enjoy hanging out in the space as it’s comfortable, welcoming and bright. I had cold brew my first time in & my only complaint is that I could tell it wasn’t steeped long enough but aside from that this is my favorite local coffee shop :)“
“Traveling up to Portland for work and stumbled upon this place far too early in the morning without having any coffee. Upon entering, the atmosphere is quiet, laid-back, and the staff is super friendly and down to earth. The pastries looked amazing, but I fought off the urge to buy every piece of sugar and got the best cup of coffee I've had in a long time (lavender breve). It made coffee bought the previous morning taste like an ashtray....no comparison. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants quality coffee, great service, beautiful looking baked goods, and a quiet atmosphere in the middle of the city.“
“Lovely shopping experience here! The staff is friendly and helpful. The produce is fresh and beautifully displayed. The store is expensive so I have to pick and choose what I purchase here versus elsewhere but I am super grateful they moved into our neighborhood. What an upgrade!!! I love that they have coffee and pastries in the morning, ice cream in the afternoon and pizza for dinner or lunch or breakfast. The pizza is off the hook. overall fantastic“
“These are so so delicious! You can tell they're made with whole food. I've tried the coffee one, the watermelon mint one, and the peanut butter banana one. I love how they're named after planets, too! They are really a satisfying, flavorful treat. If you stop by, don't hesitate to try them! I'm hoping they'll be stocked in natural food store chains soon, but until then they're at many farmers markets. The pops do tend to melt quickly, so I recommend eating them right away or getting them in the freezer quickly. They taste fresh and exactly like what the flavor describes. Really nice for people with food allergies, too. I can't eat dairy or wheat or soy and don't have to worry about any of that with these! It's my personal mission to try every flavor :) go get yourself some delicious! They're so refreshing!“
“The ice cream was very delicious and has a good balance of flavors. The arcade machine is free and the controls are, I'll let you figure that out. Beat my high score in pac man on the tenth page (4940) The person working there was very nice. Decoration was very roomy. 100% recommend.“
“Classic boba and small bites place, surprisingly rare to find out here. (: Family & Asian owned it seems. I like their golden milk boba for a non-caffeinated drink. No popcorn chicken (lol) but everything I've had here (pork belly rice bowl, roti, sticky mango rice, chicken wings) has been good!“
“What a hidden gem. Ate here about a year ago and kept meaning to come back. The food quality for the price point is crazy. The pasta b was so fresh and creamy. The ice cream was the same. Service matched. So hard to find good service let alone great.“
“For the people that thinks that topping are a bummer over the price, etc… that’s just because you don’t ask! E&B is more than flexible to do HALF scoops of any topping that you want! Meaning that for $2 extra you can get 4 different toppings! And if you’re very aware that you’re getting multiple toppings they can put your yogurt on a bigger bowl so nothing falls off… but remember that happens if it’s requested! Communication is key!The locations are really nice, it’s comfy and colorful. Perfect to meet with friends or have a cute date! The customer service is 10/10 and any question is answered! ?Will visit again and again!“
“First time there with my friend, the lady that helped me was nice enough, polite but the one that helped my friend looked like she didn’t even wanna be there, she was a bit aloof gave of a weird vibe when my friend asked for samples, I asked for more samples than my friend, the girl that helped her made it seem like a chore.other than that we had a great time, I got the almond milk butter pecan soft serve! So good!“
“Da Shave Ice Shack has a great reputation, and their shave ice is really delicious from what I've been told. Unfortunately, at this time they are not open at the location stated in their Yelp profile. Please be aware of this if you are planning a visit. A recording on their voicemail states they are currently only serving shave ice at privately booked events. I was really looking forward to trying their shave ice, hopefully I'll be able to check them out sometime this summer.“
“Never knew about this Filipino food cart, but I’m so glad that I discovered it!! The spaghetti reminded me of Jollibee’s spaghetti. I also got the ube ice cream. Both were a 10/10! Staff was super friendly as well. Will be coming back to try the other dishes they serve. Salamat!!“
“I had a event I was organizing and reached out to Ice Cream Express WA. I rented one of their carts. I can not say enough about my experience. They were fast on communication, they offer a wide variety of ice cream. The cart is super cute and better then I expected. They dropped off on time and picked it up after the event. Everyone loved the ice cream and thought the cart was fabulous. All day I was asked where I got it. Thank you so much Ice Cream Express. I will reach out again for further events.“
“Went in today to redeem a birthday reward, was unable to do it at the touch pad. Wemt to the the counter waited around 5 minutes as the lady making cookis ignored me. No smile or hello. Another woman walks in says excuse me and they come right to help her again completely ignoring me standing there.. she even had to go get another co worker to answer the ladies question then she walked away to the backI will think twice before returning to this location.“
