Ice Cream In Oregon May 08, 2020 Meghan Kraft What is the most famous ice cream shop in Oregon? Oregon is a wonderland for tourists, which means that there’s a large number of tourist-friendly ice cream shops. Of course, it’s not the tourists that set the precedent, but the locals that give family-owned ice creameries their name. Perhaps the most famous ice cream shop in Oregon is Salt and Straw, but it’s a fairly large chain that you can find in multiple states. If you’re looking for a down-home experience in the PNW, then you need to stop by Fifty Licks, and ice cream truck that has since come to serve its simple, locally-made ice creams in their own brick-and-mortar space. Looking for indulgent flavors? Head to Cloud City Ice Cream in Woodstock for flavors like Circus Friends and Grilled Peach Sweet Tea. Where can I find the best desserts in Oregon? Mouthwatering desserts can be found all over Oregon, but there are a few locally owned eateries that simply take the proverbial (and highly indulgent!) cake. Mix Sweet Shop in Ashland is known for its coffee treats and homemade pastries, and Random Order in Portland serves up decadent, truly delicious pies alongside coffee drinks and cocktails. Looking for a step back in time? McMinnville boasts the retro Serendipity, a little ice cream shop that also serves candies, pastries, and cookies. If you’re looking to sate a craving, then Oregon is more than ready to provide. Can I visit any drive-thru ice cream parlors in Oregon? Drive-thru ice cream parlors aren’t very common in Oregon since the weather tends to be a bit chillier and makes dining inside more inviting as a whole. You’re more likely to get a side of something sweet at local savory eateries like Sugarpine Drive-In or The Human Bean. Make sure that you choose your drive-in wisely, folks. A locally-owned restaurant or sweet shop is sure to provide the level of quality hospitality and decadent eats that you’re looking for in your dessert experience.
