"Compared to other ice cream shops, the artsy, minimalist Fifty Licks stands out with thoughtful details, serving consistently smooth ice cream with artful flavors like lavender salted caramel and toasted milk. Vegan flavors here are no afterthought, particularly the mango sticky rice or coconut lemon saffron. Still, sometimes its simplest flavors are the best: The Oregon strawberry — a standby on most Portland scoop shop menus — is the city’s most strawberry-y, packing a super fruity punch without losing its silken texture." - Michelle Lopez, Janey Wong
