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

“Delicious fresh seasonal gelato!😋“

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

“Just met the lovely owners Gagan and Kiran the other day at our local dog park. After chatting over our cute dogs they disclosed that they own this gem of an ice cream shop. I went that very night with friends after eating at Eem, it was delicious and a lovely complement to the great food we had just had. Gagan assured me I could try every flavor which I very nearly did. Settled on a split scoop of the golden milk and kaapi. Highly recommended!!!“

“Amazing flavors! Gluten free options! Dairy free options! Generous scoops! My favorite local ice cream!“

“Nothing but the best experience here! Even though I've lived in Oregon for quite a while, this was my first time visiting a Salt & Straw, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

The ice cream was incredible, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service. A special shoutout to the manager, Maddy, and to Xander, (I hope I'm remembering the name correctly) who jumped in to help as soon as he arrived. The rest of the staff were just as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience feel special especially when it was during a busy time.

The store itself is beautiful, and it's clear this location is managed extremely well. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best ice cream in town. Smash burger? OOOOOH YEAH. Why aren’t you on the way there right now?
Staff is bomb. Shout out to Maya for always slaying even when there’s a line out the door. GO THERE NOW!!! Get a sample on their cool spoons. Get a burgie in your mouth and wash it down your gullet with a lil custard.“

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

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“This place was so delicious. My goodness! I had the Ube and gooey butter cake. So amazing. A person I was with just had the vanilla custard and espresso, again, delicious. Creamy, smooth and rich. These treats are spectacular. The shop is decorated beautifully as well. I absolutely enjoyed the staff, scenery and treats using 100% of my senses. I wish I had taken photos, but it was so good I was lost in daydreams.“

“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!“

“Oatmeal and brown sugar ice cream was incredible.“

“Got vanilla (oat base) with chocolate sprinkles. Loved it😄texture was smooth and flavor reminded me of how I remember cool whip tasting. They had several vegan flavors and many vegan toppings and sauces to pick from. I got a kid's size and it was still a decent amount. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-10“

“My husband and I love the bingsu from this dessert shop so much, we had to bring our daughter and son-in-law to experience it too. We tried the ube and matcha bingsu. Both were excellent. I especially loved the sweentened milk texture. The homemade ice cream scoops were delightful and tasty. The presentation of the bingsu were amazing.

I understand that it takes a long time to make one bingsu. There were only two workers on staff that Sunday afternoon. Both of them were making our bingsu dessert. The matcha bingsu was done way earlier. They left the matcha bingsu on the counter and waited until both bingsu dessert were made before calling the number. I wish they had called us earlier for the matcha bingsu. It was melting a little by the time we got called. But overall both of the bingsu desserts were so good. We all enjoyed them. The staff were very nice. We will definitely go back again. I may try the mango bingsu next time.

I have finally found the best bingsu joint! I had to try the ube bingsu because of the ube ice cream. They claimed they make ube ice cream in-house. They also claim that they make matcha ice cream in-house, I will have to try it next time.

I ordered a large ube bingsu to share with my husband. First of all, the presentation of the bingsu was perfect. We figured that the whole bingsu measured to about the size of my husband's hand! As I was taking the bingsu to my table, I was worried that the ice cream would tumble to the floor. It was like an art. I absolutely love the presentation!

The ube ice cream scoop was huge. Sitting on top of the perfectly sculpted shaved milk, it was almost too gorgeous to eat. The shaved milk was the correct texture. It came with a ribbon of red bean along the edge of the bowl. I was impressed that the shaved milk was built to the edge of the bowl. The bowl was nicely chilled and was quite deep. I think a large could easily serve 3 people but 2 people was just right for my serving :) There was also red bean around the ice cream. The bingsu also had some shredded coconut, sliced almonds and some sprinkle of ube dust. It was so perfect that I will be using my picture as my wallpaper on my cell :)

The best thing about bingsu is that I don't have guilt after eating it. It is just like having a large glass of cold milk with red beans. I think if they also come with some mochi pieces, then it would have been 100% perfect.“

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

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

“Whenever I visit Portland, I make sure to stop at this matcha shop. They have a wide variety of matcha treats, including ice cream, snow cones, lattes, and matcha floats. The edible gold matcha ice cream cone is a special favorite. They also change their soft serve flavor regularly. Matcha goes really well with mochi balls. It’s the best matcha I’ve ever had every time I visit.“

“Came in about an hour before closing and they were out of one of the cookies. Nevaeh was absolutely amazing and so sweet, she genuinely had me in tears walking out. they were out of the only cookie we really were hoping for but she gave us a couple mini versions of the same cookie to make up for the inconvenience. we were totally taken aback by her kindness and i hope whoever is her manager takes the time to recognize her for being incredible and going above and beyond!!“

“The ube cookie sandwich was INSANE. Favorite sweet treat I’ve ever had in my life. Got it a few days ago and literally have been dreaming about it ever since. I will be returning for that after every single gorge trip from now on. How has this place not gone viral yet??“

“Uri at Dairy Hill Ice Cream was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding! He invited Andrew and me to a tasting beforehand, which was such a fun experience and helped us pick the perfect flavors. Every single one was amazing.

At the wedding, they set up an ice cream bar for our guests and it was truly out of this world. People are still talking about how good it was! It added such a fun and memorable touch to the night.

They also made us a custom ice cream cake that was unbelievably delicious. It was the perfect sweet treat and such a unique addition to our celebration.

We couldn’t recommend Dairy Hill Ice Cream more — amazing service, amazing ice cream, and such a great experience from start to finish!“

“just full of Deliciousness“

“Best quesadillas around- seasoning is over the top delicious. Asada and Lengua tacos juicy and tender- with just the right amount of onion and cilantro- fresh lime 🤤. Salsa verde is home made and perfection. Service is amazing. I would give 10 stars. Thanks!“

“The great service, great food, and to die for vanilla cardamom morning roll made the whole experience stopping in so awesome. cannot recommend this place enough!“

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

“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!“

“Good frozen yogurt and nice people!“

“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 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.“

“Born and raised on the big island of Hawaii and will say Awesome experience! Good food and awesome staff! Recommend for sure“

“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!“

“Last month I ordered a birthday cake over the phone, and even though it wasn't a pre-design, Bethany made it happen! Wanted to say thank you so much as I had extra hand packed quarts added too, but she was lovely through and through! 💖👑 Great service! Beautiful cake! Would give her 10 stars if I could! 💯“

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

“ALWAYS EXCELLENT SERVICE & THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION TO SECOND CHANCES FOR BLIND DOGS. IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.“

“Walked in at 9 AM on a beautiful Saturday morning and asked for a cheeseburger and fry's. The burger was huge, with sliced tomato, onion and lettuce. The fry's were hot and delicious. I sat at the bar and was taken back to the way cafe's looked when I was a kid. Tracy, the server was a jewel. Parking is no problem. Most everyone else was eating breakfast, which looked awesome. You won't regret the food or the ambiance. Do it and enjoy. SMP“

“The boba here is so fresh and refreshing. And don’t even start on the food I’m always dying to have the yellow curry, their sticky mango rice is excellent. It’s by far my favorite place to go, for dinner and especially lunch. Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been here a couple times now and honestly the only consistently good customer service I’ve had has been from the girl with the glasses. The other employees I’ve dealt with haven’t really had the best attitude, she was extremely nice, especially with how busy it was. She took the time to help my husband pick out boba tea flavors. The frozen yogurt was yummy and everything tasted fresh.“

“Awesome diary free Froyo Options!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and absolutely love the Oregon city location the best. Emma is so sweet, always friendly, always smiling, and great at her customer service skills. I appreciate the variety of food & sweets they offer. This location is so special and I’ll definitely return. Molly’s breakfast sandwiches bring me back time after time 💕“

“I walked in needing an Oreo ice cream cake for my son's birthday party the same day. I know. Poor planning and procrastination on my part. But there was a cake in the freezer and they were even able to write on it! Woot! Thanks for being awesome, neighborhood Baskin Robbins!“
