After having a slice of pizza nearby, ice cream sounded like the perfect dessert.
My Gen Z daughter suggested we go to one of her favorite ice cream spots in SE., Fifty Licks.
We pulled up to a cute little shop and parked on the street. We got a total of three scoops of ice cream, mine a single scoop of strawberry shortcake. The total cost was $20; so it is on the expensive side, ($6 per scoop).
My ice cream was pretty good. It was decadent, rich and highly caloric, as ice cream should be. It was not the best ice cream I’ve ever had but it was pretty good.
My daughter has the bananas foster ice cream and a scoop of chocolate. The banana ice cream seem to taste a bit like frozen baby food, and the chocolate af was extremely chocolatey. If you like chocolate, you will definitely like this ice cream was like a frozen brownie melting in your mouth.
They’ve got a simple menu that’s easy to order from, friendly service, there was no line and we got our order within a few minutes.
I give it a 4 and my daughter rated it a 4.4
We tried the mango sticky rice, strawberry cheesecake, cornbread honey butter, and toasted milk. If I had to rank them, it would be in that order. The mango sticky rice was amazing! So thick and creamy, I can’t believe it’s vegan. The strawberry cheese cake was probably the best strawberry cheesecake I’ve ever found! The cornbread honey butter and the toasted milk were just good.
Fifty licks was recommended by our Portland tour guide. After two weeks in the area, we've tried several ice cream shops. Fifty Licks seems to have a nicer texture than some of the other shops, like a higher fat content dairy. We preferred the selection and taste of the flavors at Handel's or Salt and Straw over Fifty though. We had the Mango Sticky Rice, Oregon Strawberry, Brownie vs Blondie, Strawberry Cheesecake, vegan Chocolate and Mocha Chip. The Oregon Strawberry is special, the rest are good.
Decent Ice Cream and some cool flavors. My only problem is that you need to order from outside and can’t see the flavors and taste them. I like seeing all the flavors an ice cream place has and probably taste the ones that are visually appealing, which I definitely missed at this location.
Mocha Mud Pie and Mango sticky Rice for the win. So creamy can’t believe is vegan.
Matcha Mochi is good too with the mochi bit inside.
(Photoed are the mini scoops for reference) healthy amount.
I rarely leave reviews but this was simply the best ice cream I’ve had in Portland. Possibly the best ever. I’m not sure what their secret is but when I first tasted this I was surprised by how good it was. You have to try this ice cream!
A must try! We were referred by Dustin (he led our biking tour when in Portland). We had to stop by and to try it. Probably one of the best ice creams I’ve had to date, my favorite being the mango sticky rice!
We really liked how the ice cream is creamy and has different chunks of food depending on the type of ice cream.
The only thing is that they only had a bench outside the establishment, i assume this is due to Covid. So being first timers it was awkward just to be hanging out since we didn’t another place to hang out at.
This place was a little out of the way for a tourist walking around the non downtown part of the city. However it was worth the detour. I don't happen to be an ice-cream lover. Aghast you shout. I know, I know. However that didn't stop me from enjoying every last lick of my bowl. I loved the subtle Thai Sticky Rice and Mango Sorbet. It was something I wanted to eat when I was out to dinner the other night and they had run out. So what better way to enjoy dessert but here. Very clean establishment, and great service. Tight fitting space but most people probably won't hang out. A few cafe tables outside if you choose to stick around. Worth trying if only to say you took less than 50 licks to finish your scoop(s).
Holy Ice Cream!!! Ice cream galore for dairy and non-dairy choices! Friendly and awesome staff always armed with a smile and knowledge of their products. Clean and inviting. A great place to get your sweet tooth cravings filled.
My husband I were looking for an ice cream place to visit but didn’t want to drive too far or go to the trendy Salt N Straw. We stumbled on Fifty Licks and we are so glad we did. My husband had the chocolate waffle cone and I couldn’t go wrong with Strawberry Cheesecake. Delicious!
Bananas Foster was ... unbelievable. Thank you
Edit: I didn't know this was vegan ( my wife is, but I'm not). I would have never known. Was one of the best ice creams I've had in a long time. Honestly, glad I don't live nearby.
Wonderful icecream selections. I endednup with the vegan Coconut Lemon Saffron. They also have regular and gluten free option.
Gotta go back to try French toast. Bananas Foster, and Mango Sticky Rice
Really exotic flavors like black sesame and mango sticky rice. There's all the options avaliable and accomodates vegan and gluten free folk--and the staff was kind. They offer gluten free cones even. Not too sweet which was nice.
The prices a little high so I just go with the basic scoop (quite small) ~ $5.50 but really satisfying
Premium ice cream at a premium price. I'm a fan of their little wooden spherical sculptures indicating the relative sizes of the 2 scoop sizes available. But, other that that, there's not much in the way of information... the names of the flavors are frequently less than descriptive, which encourages sampling, but can sometimes make even this process a bit too opaque. It's excellent ice cream, to be sure, but this is not a regular weeknight haunt.
Awesome Ice Cream👌 this cream rivals most! I love the Cuban coffee. Great selection of basic and custom flavors! Fresh made sugar cones. Ala-mode🍦
This is our favorite Portland ice cream for sure! It is clearly made with good, fresh ingredients. The strawberry is amazing. Double thumbs up!
