When visiting Portland I knew an all vegan ice cream parlor was going to be a first stop! Cute little place with so many flavors for scooping and a freezer full of prescooped pints and ice cream sandwiches to take home. Super friendly service. Some flavors change with the season.

Went to their pop up tonight and got the pistachio ice cream in a waffle cone and was very impressed. The pistachio ice cream tasted just like how I remembered it and the waffle cone had a nice crunch to it. I will definitely be coming back to try more flavors!

Kate’s all vegan and gluten free ice cream is an inclusive dream for many people with dietary restrictions and a sweet tooth 😜 Everyone working there has been accommodating when I’ve asked about other food sensitivities, too, like oat. It’s ridiculously delicious and I recommend the ice cream sandwiches if you can have oats!

What a joy to stumble upon this fully vegan ice cream shop. I enjoyed being able to taste many different flavors and settled on the award-winning peanut brittle in a waffle cone. The waffle cone was surprisingly thick and robust!

Kate's has the best Icecream texture/taste comparable to that of quality dairy Icecream that I've had in the past. This time I got an excellent root beer icecream (thought the flavor was strong which was good) with a sugar cone.
Have gotten their pints in the past, and also really love the Ube and Cookie Monster flavors. I REALLY enjoy their ube, it's vividly purple, creamy, light, and not overpowering. I like that the flavors aren't overly sweet and the atmosphere of the shop.
Bright and fun interior made it feel welcoming for a friend and I to hang out in, and they also have a couple seating options indoors. Bonus points for labeling the allergens on each flavor.

They have all sorts of interesting flavors and are generous with letting you taste everything
The coconut base doesn’t overwhelm the different flavors
This place is a treasure
This is truly the best vegan ice cream I have ever eaten in my 20 years as a vegan. Plus, you get unlimited free tastes, which feels very rare for a place like this!

Great tasting, fully vegan ice cream. Large selection of flavors, just like a real ice cream shop. Clearly labeled for allergens.

I was so excited to learn that Kate's opened a second location within walking distance from my home! The best ice cream in the neighborhood! Reasonably priced, 100% gluten free & vegan shop, always friendly staff, and the space is welcoming and generally pretty calm which I appreciate. The split scoop is my favorite and I recently tried their waffle bowl and was not disappointed! You genuinely cannot go wrong with anything they serve.
Best ice cream I’ve ever had! Coming from someone that usually doesn’t lean towards getting allergen free ice cream, this is SO good. A little pricier especially if interested in getting pints but it’s worth it for the great product.
