50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Portland

“Visited for the first time. My friend recommended this place and took me here. Simple menu options. The chocolate gooeye brownie was delicious ?. The staffs are friendly too. You get free samples of all the ice cream and can decide what you want to order. #LOVE_IT ?????“

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

“Safe, amazing, ice cream that is a true treat even if you don’t need to be safe.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Got a two scoop of coconut and the chocolate peanut butter. The coconut was really yummy, the cocoa PB could have a better balance and smoothness of flavors but they are both in my belly. Bright and airy spot is welcoming for families and bigger groups to relax and eat. Our group LOVES the seasonal smores shake (Oct 24) and highly recommends. Nice affordable stop with lovely staff.“

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

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

“Highly recommend this place if you need a light, refreshing dessert. Order online to save some time since there can be a wait. I got the Ube Shaved Ice, and I expected it to be syrupy, thick, and overly sweet. It was none of those things!

Even though I was full from a previous meal, I was able to eat a Keiki (small?) sized shaved ice by myself. The ube flavor was light and complemented the coconut cream beautifully. The toasted coconut flakes added the right amount of crunch alongside the already crunchy shaved ice. The syrup is layered into the ice and it’s not poured over the top like a snowcone. This gives you a mix of fully saturated ice and fluffier shaved ice. I’m looking forward to coming back.“

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

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

“Awesome diary free Froyo Options!“

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

“I came here on September 16th around 6:30pm. As I walked in, there was a line of about 6 to 7 people. I was happy to see that they were busy, especially since it was Friday night. However, a white male in front of me got frustrated at one of the associates because they didn't have cherry vanilla ice cream. He was mentioning that he waited in a line only to find out that they don't have cherry vanilla icecream. He said to the associate, "Let's talk about what just happened here." It made me feel really bad for the associate. The other associate overheard and stepped in. Told the customer that they didn't have the flavor of icecream and that there was a line. The associate told this customer to chill out, and it was a reasonable request from my perspective. After the customer was told to chill out he mentioned, "I know the owner....". It unfortunately was a situation where the customer felt very entitled to get what he wanted and an excuse to be rude to the associates. I think the associates handled this extremely well. I'm glad they stood up for themselves. That is not treatment they deserve.“

“Great food and pizza. Worth the 1.5 hour wait!“

“I'm so happy I found this place the best matcha I've had, literally drive two hours for this, must go when in PDX. Friendly and fast service. It's matcha galore so everything is delicious the matcha latte with strawberry foam, the cheese foam is a must have at first I thought it would be weird but the combination salty sweet in your mouth is like mind blowing, floats are so creamy. I had to try the bear one it the best of all worlds iced latte/ice cream/bear is made of compact shaved ice plus foam ! Mmmmm heaven!“

“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.“

“Thinly sliced tender cheesesteak, tons of flavor from the whiz sauce and peppers I added to the basic philly. I love places you can order ahead too, so it was pretty much ready when I arrived! Def on the spendier side but the cheesesteak was literally HUGE!“

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

“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!“

“so lovely! delicious mocha latte and macha brownie. shared a salmon and locks bagel with cream cheese too! lovely staff!“

“We ordered a Chocolate and a Cheesecake Strawberry Rolled Ice cream and I loved the taste. I topped it with Pretzels to make it a bit crunchy. The order can take some time since there are only two people managing everything but 5 stars for the taste.“

“Delicious fresh seasonal gelato!😋“

“Safe, amazing, ice cream that is a true treat even if you don’t need to be safe.“

“These are great. We had these delivered to work and each person was able to pick their own flavor and they are all very good. I can tell you the Blueberry Crumble is amazing and my co-workers loved the Raspberry Pistachio, the Maple Bacon, the original and the Key Lime Coconut. The price is also good for the size and the amount toppings on these. YUM!!“

“Great atmosphere and ice cream!“

“Absolutely love their creations! Every one we have tried has been delicious! Watching them make FRESH crepes is absolutely mesmerizing! Highly recommend for any age! Will be taking my family here for all our ice cream treats away from home! ❤️“

“very cute curated atmosphere inside and great looking pastries. the froyo itself didn’t have very strong flavors but was still good enough. maybe it was just the horchata flavor i chose. lots of dietary restricted options for those who need it“

“Great ice cream. Unique flavors.“

“This place is in an unlikely location and is very small inside (there is even a sign outside the door that says only 8 people are allowed inside at a time! ?) However, the ice cream is amazing. They only have 4 berry flavors (with an occasional special on some days). It is fresh fruit that is infused into vanilla ice cream and then they have some toppings you can add. I had raspberry ice cream topped with chamoy and Tajin and it was DELICIOUS!! It's also pretty reasonably priced. I can definitely recommend this place!“

“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!“

“Really lovely staff and the chocolate is really good.“

“I love ice cream and chocolate is my favorite flavor. This was my first time visiting Handel's Homemade Ice Cream and it was excellent. I can tell they get a lot of customers but I had the place to myself this evening. The service was great and there were so many flavors it was hard to choose. I will try the black cherry next visit which will be soon. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes ice cream.“

“Man, let me tell you about Nectar Frozen Yogurt in Portland—it's like a cosmic journey for your taste buds, man. The vibes there are so chill, you can practically feel the good energy flowing through the air. And the frozen yogurt? It's like a flavor explosion straight from the heart of Mother Earth herself. Each spoonful is like a little slice of heaven, filled with the purest, most natural ingredients. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just a free spirit looking for a sweet treat, Nectar Frozen Yogurt is the place to be, man. Peace, love, and froyo forever!“

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

“I love going to this place!! They are always adding new things to the menu and the staff is always willing to accommodate things to my liking. I definitely have been a returning customer and ordered many things on the menu and not one has disappointed me!“

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

“Wonderful customer service and delicious gelato!“

“They have the BEST non-dairy ice cream, ever!! I had their chocolate hazelnut with their peanut butter drizzle that hardens. Omg, it is sooooo DELICIOUS!“

“Lovely shop with great concept. Happy 😁“

“Went to Orange Julius Because they had a Dairy Queen attached to it. It's on the third floor of the Lloyd Center shopping mall. I just got a Dairy Queen medium ice cream cone dipped and chocolate.It was so good (Price $4.99).

Vegetarian options: A good variety of vegetarian options.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of wheelchair accessibility.“

“It's quite a strange surprise to find a soft-serve counter hidden in the back of a streetwear/shoe store, that's not the most well-visited place in Washington Square Mall. However, word of mouth has spread around a bit regarding this shop and my partner and I decided to try looking for it since we were craving ice cream while at the mall yesterday. We found it and there was someone working there. They have a pretty solid menu offering delicious mixtures of ice cream and other ingredients like cookies and fruity pebbles, or you could also get a milkshake. The ingredients are high quality, taste good, and are not overpriced for what you get. The only weird thing to me was that they don't have water for customers despite having some sort of dessert, so then you'd have to go across to Jamba to get some. The store itself is clean and nice though there's not many places to sit.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ben & Jerry's Catering (New Avenues for Youth),
I can't rave enough about the pleasant, worry-free experience I had with Erica from Ben & Jerry's Catering at the Yamhill shop in Portland. Of the 3 Ben & Jerry's shops I contacted in Portland, she was far and away the most responsive and helpful! In a year of researching, shopping, planning and choosing vendors for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding, my experience with Erica was one of the best! I checked all the ice cream caterer's in the area. Most of them were quite expensive and had limits, restrictions, and extra charges once you got down to an estimate. Erica was one of the most easy-going, honest, cooperative vendors I had the pleasure of working with. She was so responsive and agreeable to all my questions and requests! When I was concerned about not having a choice for our handful of gluten-intolerant guests, she offered to bring some berry sorbets. As always, Ben & Jerry's ice cream is excellent and they offer so many unique and delicious options! To top it all off, Erica informed me that when you hire Ben & Jerry's Catering, you're also supporting New Avenues for Youth which provides job training to youth experiencing housing instability. While some of the B&J's corporate liberal causes don't appeal to me, anything supporting and taking care of vulnerable little ones and youth has my utmost support! We felt honored that in celebrating my daughter & son-in-law's special day, we were also able to contribute to an important cause. Thank you Erica for being such a joy to work with!!“

“I love the creations they have come up with !! The Flavors are Amazing & Delicious! And Lin was very nice 🤩“

“Wonderful customer service and delicious gelato!“
