48 Best Ice Cream Shops near Happy Valley

“The ice cream is delicious, and the girl at the counter is friendly and always smiling. You can really see that you’re improving every day — love that you give a cup to keep the ice cream from leaking through the cone.The only downside is that the wait can be a bit long sometimes.“

“So charming and delicious. Great place for vegans and dessert lovers.“

“Super ice creme. Not oversweetened, rather light. Simply delicious“

“What is this place?!?!? Omg if you haven't had this ice cream, believe me...like truly trust in me, this is the best ice cream both myself and my husband have ever had.
Ice cream is already amazing as-is, like it's ice cream. But THIS is next level. Every single flavor is spot on and the ratio of ice cream to flavor and texture is the exact perfect balance 👌🏻
Bravo 👏🏻“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“First time here and we will definitely be back again. My husband and daughter stopped in for some shave ice. Not too long after, my daughter accidentally dropped hers, leading to lots of tears. The person working came out, unbeknownst to us, with a replacement and reassurance. Thank you, it was very kind.“

“Loved the ice cream and non dairy flavors. All delicious 😋“

“Delicious fresh seasonal gelato!😋“

“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!“

“If I had won the 1 billion powerball jackpot here in Oregon, I would’ve started a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to subsidize the cost of the waffle cones at this ice cream shop for all patrons. They’re so good - it’s like a thin, crunchy waffle-graham-cracker hybrid which literally changed my life. Now I no longer care about the economy, foreign affairs, or any political nonsense; all I can think about is waffle cone.“

“lots of toppings! nice environment, easy parking!“

“Lavander ice cream is my favorite ❄️😍😍😍🍧“

“The BEST vegan ice cream in the universe without the sugar dizziness and crash. Thank you, Mary!!!“

“Have been wanting to try this place for a few years and finally got the chance last weekend. I was feeling a little hesitant about the long line but it moved very quickly and we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough and got a scoop of vegan cookies and cream for my wife. It was DELICIOUS. My wife went in a second time to get a pint for me so we could take it home. Unfortunately it melted because our hotel rooms freezer malfunctioned 😬 will definitely be back for more ice cream when I'm over in this area again.
Give it a try! It's great ice cream.“

“Very much enjoyed our treats today. We will be back. 😁“

“I love this place and upset I can ONLY give 5 stars. They deserve much more.“

“Forget the salt and head to the clouds for Portlands best Ice Cream!!“

“Extraordinary ice flavors! Delicious! Great coffee! Very nice people!“

“Lovely staff. Amazing Concrete ice cream. All customizable and flexible to do anything you want.
The place is well decorated and not cheap.
Definitely enjoyed it. Ice cream was not too sweet which I loved it.
Totally should go back for the 2nd floor. Needed reservation for that.
Also adult only after certain hours“

“We had to try Nico’s real fruit ice cream and we loved it! So delicious. 👍“

“Great atmosphere and ice cream!“

“Sparkling clean and friendly corner shop in NE Portland. Staff is helpful and their products are fresh and always delicious. The affogato is a must if in need of a pick me up. The espresso gelato is a must try for coffee lovers, although you can’t go wrong with any of their flavors!“

“The ice cream sandwiches that are gluten-free are the best we've ever had and we've tried all of them! Every single one that we get here is amazing, truly, really incredible cookie and ice cream is incredible or rather frozen yogurt… However, the only thing that we don't like about this place is that sometimes you can't try the yogurt that is in the ice cream cookies because they don't have any samples. Also the main thing we don't like about this place is that the toppings are $.95 each and that makes it so we just don't get them which is kind of a bummer for the kids but overall thumbs up.“

“I can't speak highly enough about Uri & the folks over at Dairy Hill Ice Cream. They went above and beyond to help coordinate ice cream for our wedding reception! We frequent the Hawthorne location and have always enjoyed the awesome selection they have every day, but the ability to arrange these treats so seamlessly for a large event like this just solidifies them as the best ice cream parlor in PDX! We really appreciate local businesses and their owners taking the time and effort to be personal and involved with our awesome community. Uri nailed it. Thanks Dairy Hill!!!“

“just full of Deliciousness“

“I had the most extraordinary experience at the Portland airport on Monday night. There were not many things open. I do not usually fly Southwest, so I was not familiar with the concessions in this part of the airport. I thought I might just grab some cheese and then get some kind of healthy bowl somewhere. I stopped at the Tillamook booth and was overwhelmed by the quality of the service. Yes, the food was tasty. The service was exemplary. I would have never purchased my meal here, if it weren’t for the incredible connection, Joseph, the server, made with me. He was warm, knowledgeable, and really enticed me to eat the food here. He seemed to love it, so I believed him. I ate at the little table next to the booth and he checked in on me from time to time and even brought me some green tea later on! This truly was the most remarkable experience I had ever spent at an airport kiosk. I fly every week. Joseph, and the quality he bestowed upon me, is a new benchmark for service at any airport in America. Congratulations Tillamook for hiring such a capable person who not only believes in your product, but believes in serving each customer with dignity and elegance. I couldn’t help but watch how he treated the people after me. All were treated the same. He even helped people after he closed. What a treasure. Thank you, thank you.“

“OMG. This place was FANTASTIC. I got the steak asada plate. The portion was large, and I ate every drop.
The self-service salsa bar was loaded with 4 different salsas, onions, cilantro, lime, peppers, pickled veggies, and I loved it all! It was so good that I cannot wait to come back here and try the other side of the restaurant (separate entrance, but there's a hallway between the two. The restaurant side has tables to dine in, but the dessert side is pickup only) that serves elote, fruits, desserts (mini pancakes with ice cream sundae on top was one!!!), and yummy looking drinks. I wish I had room to try them now!

I uploaded new photos (as of June 2025 anyway) of their menu. FYI, I checked out the dessert side of the restaurant, and that photo here of the waffle sundae is no longer available, but there's so so much more! I forgot to get menu photos of the dessert side of the restaurant. Enjoy!“

“As someone who isn’t classically a huge match fan I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place. We came in on a Thursday evening and luckily it was not super busy but I’m told it can fill in quickly and often has a line.

I wound up going for their seasonal cone flavor which was peach and was quite refreshing and tasty. They have a wide assortment of menu options and types of match dessert to choose from. They use a buzzer system and have seating in the back to accommodate maybe 6-8 groups.

The atmosphere is well lit and clean. Definitely appears to attract a bit of a younger crowd.“

“We got the Bakers Half Dozen delivered by Uber Eats ast night, along with a blueberry fritter. What a treat The! The flavors are just wonderful as is the quality of the donuts themselves. We go to Doe frequently and really enjoy the donuts and ice cream.“

“Best spot in Rockwood for ice cream and home made popsicles!

Everything is made in house !

Sooo many flavors to choose from. You can’t go wrong. If you want something savory I recommend Tostitos preparados. Mini pancakes are also worth every penny“

“I started going to this location roughly 3 months ago. My first impressions of the place clean lots of options. Honestly the best bang for your buck when it comes for ice cream. The reason why I keep going back is the atmosphere an environment. The staff of this location are absolutely the sweetest, most genuine, honest nicest people I have ever met. There is a blond woman that works there and I heard some of the most kind compliments of my life. I watched her use words to make another person literally feel better and more confident about themselves. It was amazing to watch. The world could use more people like her. Watching that type of kindness literally makes the ice cream 10 times better. I recommend you try this location out. It'll literally make you feel better as a person.“

“Good frozen yogurt and nice people!“

“I took take out and the place was amazing!! Smelled good and fresh. and the wait time was 20s so fast!! The cookies were soft and sweet definitely should try it out!

Vegetarian options: I don’t know much!

Kid-friendliness: It’s kid friendly no inappropriate things or alcoholic treats!“

“Awesome diary free Froyo Options!“

“It was so delicious and that we went two days in a row❤️💛💚“

“I was like huh bingsu whats that, shaved ice? How is that going to be any good I don’t like snow cones. THIS AINT NO SNOWCONE omg it is so so so so good. The shaved ice is softer than feathers and it’s layered with mango syrup and ice cream. I’m hooked. 100/10“

“Ohana in the City of Roses! Street parking is a little tricky if it's busy, but the food and atmosphere make it totally worth it. Food was excellent!“

“Wonderful customer service and delicious gelato!“

“We came in to order an ice cream cake with dietary restrictions. It was a busy Friday night. The staff never once made me feel rushed or hurried with my decision making. She even confirmed with the other gal to make sure all dietary needs were met. In my opinion they went above and beyond to make it work. We can’t wait to try our cake. We will also be returning for ice cream nights since they had options for all. Edit: We tried our cake! It was so good. Most of the family didn’t even know it was dairy free. I am so grateful for your help and creativity. Thank you!“

“I’m in Portland with friends and the menu has a wide variety, and good prices! Great customer service as well, would stop by if you’re in the area!“

“I consider myself an expert on cinnamon sugar fried foods. DonBigote has the best churros around! Perfect with a milkshake!“

“Good frozen yogurt, in soft serve. Good prices also, and variety.“

“Omg, please never get rid of honeydew!!! 😍“

“There were three people working tonight. Reese, Jonah and a third person with red hair that I did not get the name of. He was working diligently to close the place for the night as I got there 6 minutes before close. Reese was genuine and friendly while sweeping the lobby floor. She was happy to hold a conversation with me while staying on task which I appreciated! Jonah made my custom beverage and due to a misunderstanding I asked for my order to be remade. Without hesitation he agreed and after clarification I was presented with a thoughtfully prepared, delicious blend of ice cream and coffee. I apologized for the late order and thanked the closing team again. The 3 of them seemed to know their jobs and were seasoned employees. Whomever is responsible for these 3 employees should be proud of their team! Great experience - thank you.“

“Best ice cream in town! Our favorite hands down.“

“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.“

“What do these beautiful cakes have in common? They were made by the team at Sunnyside Baskin Robbins! I have ordered many birthday, graduation, and special occasion cakes from them and have always been happy with the results. Brooke and her team are always very kind and accommodating. Thank you for making every events special.“

“Despite the other review before mine, I had no problem coming in before closing. Came at 10-20 minutes before closing last night. She was cleaning and tv seemed off but doors were open and it was fantastic froyo as usual. It was a very clean establishment too.“
