Yes, yes, it’s the middle of winter, but sometimes you just need some ice cream to cheer you up, or to celebrate a big accomplishment! Napoleon, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Rocky Road are all classics but there are some awesome local spots that are shaking things up (no really, you can ask for these as shakes too). With bold and fun flavor combinations each creamery is bound to get you into the holiday spirit.
The Village Ice Cream Factory:
7709 SW Capitol Hwy.
With many gluten-free and dairy-free options to choose from, everyone can find something they love at The Village Ice Cream Factory. Enjoy a festive scoop of Egg Nog, Peppermint Bark, Andes Creme de Menthe, or Apple Cider Pie while holiday shopping in downtown Multnomah Village.
6352 SW Capitol Hwy.
You can’t go wrong with some Almond Mocha Fudge or Pralines & Cream from Dairy Hill Ice Cream. If you’re feeling extra bougie or just feeling some vegan vibes, try their vegan Coconut Bliss Salted Caramel Bliss.
Sunny’s Legendary Frozen Yogurt
4397 SW Vermont St.
This certified kosher frozen yogurt shop has the best part of any holiday get-together; Apple Pie and Country Vanilla flavors to help you reminisce about Christmas Past. Sunny’s also hears your tastebud’s demands for their Pomegranate Rasberry Sorbet!
333 S State St. Ste. B
While not *technically* ice cream, this frozen treat will bring some Mele Kalikimaka to your holiday season. Try their P.O.G. (passionfruit, orange, and guava) or lychee shaved ice!
7847 SW Capitol Hwy.
Nectar is ready to give you all the fix-ins you need to recreate an all-frozen-yogurt version of Buddy The Elf’s Breakfast Spaghetti, aka a pile of sugar. With over 40 toppings and sauces, you can pile high those swirls of Snickerdoodle and Pecan Praline yogurt.
