Don't fear the line , it moved quickly and is worth the wait. Woodblock Chocolate and Almond Brittle with Chocolate Ganache are two of my favorite combinations when stuffed inside a waffle cone .

Faisal Habib

Everything is great. Lots of different and unique flavors for the adventurous and also the staples for those that aren't. Excellent staff and consistently great service is the cream and cherry on top.

Ami K-M

Everything is good here but my favs are the ooey gooey chocolate brownie , honey lavender , snicker doodle and arbequina olive oil . I only go when there is no line so week nights after work are good!

ToryBurch

Some of the most delicious and original ice cream we’ve ever had — go for the blue cheese with pear or honey balsamic with fresh strawberries . Try a scoop in one of their homemade waffle cones .

Aishwarya Venkataraman

Almond brittle with salted ganache is delicious, flavorful and heavenly.It's sweet, salty and crunchy. This coupled w/their in-house freshly made waffle cone , was an absolute delight to my taste buds

Allison Abbott

Try everything! Loved having bite-sized samples of olive oil , strawberry balsamic, pear/cheese, and then loved having a full (waffle ) cone of the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache

Jenny

A milkshake made of cinnamon and salted caramel ice cream was a genius concoction suggested by a server here. Also delicious: the almond brittle with salted ganache , and the pear and blue cheese

Connie Chiu

I tried the one in LA and the flavors here are so much better! The seasonal carrot cake batter with caramel pralines are fab. Always get your ice cream with a cone .

Joe Taulbee

The line is long,but moves fast. There's a number of flavors (some odd, but interesting) and they let you try some in line . Ice cream is good. Would recommend if in the nob hill area.

Dave Whelan

I've been eating ice cream all my life, and never before have I been asked which flavor I want on top when ordering two scoops. That alone would make this a winner, killer ice cream notwithstanding.

Lloyd Bagtas

The classic and timeless almond brittle is a must. Their seasonal flavors are always magical. Hands down the best ice cream west of the Mississippi.

Joel Goldman

Probably the best ice cream I've ver had. Get the chocolate blueberry rice crispy treats and birthday cake & blackberries! All made with fresh and local berries from Oregon!

Leila Reeder-Esparza

Came here on our honeymoon – everything tastes AMAZING. Salt & caramel swirl is the best. They even gave us free pints! Amazing customer service. You have to go.

Robert Leary

As many free samples as you want? Yes please! Get here early on days when its not sunny or the weekend and you won't have to wait in the insane line .

Ben Horten

The wildflower honey with ricotta walnut lace cookies is a treat, and the almond brittle with salted ganache is to die for. Get it in a waffle cone !!

Rosanna W.

I liked the cinnamon snicker doodle , strawberry b. vinegar, and stumptown coffee flavors the most!! Smallest size is size of goofball for $3! Tried almost everything!

Andy McMillan

After extensive research I can indeed confirm, this is the greatest ice cream ever made by anyone in the history of ever. If it's on the board, try the pear with blue cheese . Amazing.

@Nacron

The arbequina Olive oil is rich and sumptuous and is apparently Oprah's favorite ice cream . A wonderful limited flavor is goat cheese , marionberry habanero

Carl Figueiredo

Inventive and well executed flavors. Do not come here for standard ice cream . Had the strawberry with balsamic glaze . So good.

Mark

Don't be afraid and try all the flavors. You never know if one of those weird sounding ones (bone marrow and brandied cherry ?) is actually really good!

Megan Krumm

Waffle cones smelled the whole block up! Try the stumptown coffee in a waffle cone or the coconut one

Jenn Y

This ice cream shop has quite the cult-following for inventive flavors like Honey Balsamic Strawberry with Cracked Pepper . It's every bit as good as the hype - go.

Mary X

Try the ice cream flight if you want to get in quite a few flavors! I loved the goat cheese flavor, super unique.

Ellen

Tasted a couple of their more exotic flavors, but shared a split scoop of Sea Salt and Caramel , and Chocolate with Gooey Brownie . Heaven!

Lindsay

as with all the advice, basalmic strawberry with pepper is a winning idea. salted caramel also solid.

Jennifer Salomon

Pear with blue cheese is divine! Chunks of sweet pear with a creamy cheesy aftertaste. Just get it.

Kylie Farmer

Great ice cream . I love the monthly flavors and the classic flavors too, they also have killer waffle cones

Adam K.

45 minute wait at 10pm on a Sunday but well worth it if you haven't had their ice cream .

Myasha Berman

They let you try as many flavors as you want and ask you if you have any food allergies first. Oh, and it's delicious? Mmm.

Mia Dominguez

Great flavors, artisan ice cream and Alberta Street! It's all very good and I love the cones !

Ushma Desai

Most creative ice cream flavors .. recommend getting flight to split up to 8 different flavors. My third time in a week ????

Shirley Liu

Try the pear and blue cheese & strawberry balsamic with black pepper , but get the Stumptown coffee and bourbon

Scot Olsen

A lot of their flavours are trying too hard but sometimes they strike gold. The staff usually knows what's worth your time and what's just to pad out the board.

Dan Preiss

Get a scoop of the goat cheese Marionberry and one of the strawberry balsamic in a waffle cone . Unforgettable.

Danika Wheeler

Don't waste time or flavors.... all you need is arbequina olive oil and sea salt with caramel ribbons. Life changing!!! ????????

Esther Dansby

Sample before you choose! don't skip out on the strawberry and balsamic vinegar with black pepper ; it's amazing!

Jenny Ching

Wildflower honey with ricotta walnut lace cookies and the classic almond brittle with salted ganache !

Lears Fool

As a first-timer, I did Almond Brittle with Salted Ganachein a waffle cone . So glad I did.

Trina Unzicker

It's the voodoo donuts of ice cream ! You've got to try it if you're anywhere nearby. Highly recommended.

Erin

Wait time was around 30mins on a Friday night in June. WORTH IT! Try the coconut with caramel bars .

CITY GRIT

Try as many samples as you want. Our favorite is the Honey Balsamic Strawberry !

Brian Diva Cox

Awesome service.. I order a strawberry shake but didn't know it was strawberry honey balsamic vinegar mix.. Eww. So they are making me a new one..

Amy Johnson Cook

So many great choices, good thing they are patient with tastings even when it's busy.

Oh my, this is the smoothest ice cream there is. Waffle cone is a must.

Sea Salt & Carmel is definitely the go to ice cream . Their seasonal ice cream are also delicious.

Taste a unique flavor. They have real spoons for tasting, which is a nice touch. Savory flavors are amazing!

All the flavors I've tried so far are awesome. Just ask them to try a flavor! They'll let you taste multiple!

Best ice cream in Portland! Try the olive oil ice cream .
