Let’s get topping!

Ice Queen

Ice Queen is the result of kawaii dreams and a desire to make plant-based frozen treat magic for the masses. Born out of the desire to share healthy and delicious goodies while simultaneously introducing people to more sustainable, plant-based options, Ice Queen is one of the first plan-based popsicle shops in the world.

The vision for creating a whimsical storefront for customers to experience Ice Queen’s world of cute, fun, and flavorful experience has been founder and owner Rebecca Smith’s most rewarding journey. From recipe collaborations with other small food purveyors to creating bold, fun, and unforgettable treats, Ice Queen is all about community and bringing joy to people in the form of a healthier dessert option.

Kulfi

While kulfi is less well-known in North America, it is a popular frozen dessert in India. Kulfi is often described as Indian ice cream, yet unlike ice cream, kulfi isn’t churned. Kulfi is made by slowly simmering milk on the stove until it thickens, which results in a denser and creamier texture than ice cream🍦

Some of Kulfi PDX’s flavors are Indian-inspired, like the mango🥭 lassi made with yogurt (the most popular flavor); the ‘Rose City’ made with rose water, Rooh Afza (a concentrated herb and fruit syrup), and cardamom🌹; and the Pista, which combines pistachio and saffron 🌿

Beyond ice cream, Kulfi offers falooda, an Indian treat that combines rice vermicelli, basil seeds, jelly, and mango pulp or rosewater syrup. Also look out for warm chai ☕️to drink, plus soda floats 🥤with a vanilla pop dunked into them.

Cheese & Crack

Who’s ready for a cheese snack? Everybody 🧀🍦

While Cheese & Crack is more than a straight-up ice cream shop, their luscious, pitch-perfect vanilla soft serve is an insider secret (you’re welcome) and comes with dusting options of chocolate, strawberry, matcha or—stay with me here—BEET. Do not pretend you do not love this, Portland. Cheese & Crack’s vanilla soft serve tastes like scientifically perfect custard—thick, not too sweet, and deeply satisfying.

Lovely’s 50/50

There’s a welcoming and romantic farm vibe to wood-fired pizza spot Lovely’s Fifty Fifty. Their ingredients are seasonal and sourced from nearby farms. Their ice cream, available to go at the front of the restaurant, or for dessert after dinner, is housemade in small batches and changes with the influx of local farm bounty.

There’s something about the way this ice cream is made that brings the ingredients’ flavors right to the front. While Lovely’s 50/50 is best known for their pizzas and wine their ice cream may just be Portland’s best kept secret.
