Fifty Licks Ice Cream

Still open even if it's one of their mobile stands, parked a few feet west on Burnside from the fire-damaged retail shop. Try the Chocolate AF. Can't get enough.

Sorry Fifty Licks , not a fan ! I love the aesthetics of this place - very pleasing to the eye and minimalist . The actual ice cream flavors -not so much . In all these years and with numerous visits to count ,I have never found fifty licks to be good . The flavors seem mediocre and there is just too much happening in the name of experimentation. I am not a fan of the texture either. This is just a personal preference and what I have felt over the years -I know they have a fan base that really prefers them over other Ice cream establishments . The staff is kind and sweet most of the times .

Good ice cream no doubt, with someone unusual flavors. Somewhat limited in the range of offerings (aka no Sundays) . Maybe a tad pricey for what you get, but not overly so . It would be great if they had an outdoor area in a little bit better of a queuing system because the line can get long. Friendly staff

Nothing can compete with Fifty Licks Ice Cream. I love how the vegan flavors are always consistent and creamy. My favorite flavors are the chocolate caramel and mango sticky rice. I would occasionally buy pints of mango sticky rice as that's how good and popular the flavor is. Always impressed by its quality and richness!

I came here for the first time almost 3 years ago on my visit to Portland in February 2020, right before COVID hit and shut everything down. I would consider myself an ice cream fanatic, and all I remember is that this place made the best ice cream I had ever had. I squeezed in my 2nd visit ever to this ice creamery early last week during my business trip. I sampled the toasted milk and POG and instantly felt both overjoyed that they were delicious but sad that I was limited in my time and ability to eat all the ice cream flavors they had to offer. I ended up ordering the toasted milk and mango sticky rice (my favorite from my last visit). The mango sticky rice was every bit as delightful as I remembered it. Gleefully licking away at my double scoop with a sugar cone, I walked in the rain back to my parallel-parked car. This place is worth braving bad street parking and an atmospheric river for! Also, the girls serving me were the sweetest! One asked if I had a stamp card, to which I replied no because I'm not a local but then asked if I could have one as a souvenir. She gladly punched it out for me and hoped that I would have the opportunity to visit again to use it. Hands down will always be my favorite treat and memory from Portland.

The ice cream non vegan options are so very rich and tasty. Unique flavor options and as many samples as you'd like. Definitely recommend over the hyped s & s. Great service and way less lines. Would definitely come back!

Top notch dairy and non dairy ice cream with some interesting flavors... and ingredients posted on the side! They use agave and beet sugar as the sweetener, which is great. We enjoyed the mango sticky rice (more subtle), lemon saffron (refreshing) and cornbread honey (savory). Seems like whatever flavor you choose, you'll taste it. You can sample any flavors (with reusable spoons) and buy pints if you'd like ($11). They have a rewards card where you earn a stamp for every $5 you spend. It would be better if the reward was a free cone! I'd love to come back. Service also friendly and inviting. Some tables indoors and outdoors. Near a Natural Grocers and some restaurants. Nice area in the NW.

It's just a perfect ice cream shop! Unique but amazing flavors. All made in house, including shake and cones. Clean and tidy shop with seatings along the windows and tables/chairs. Plenty of seats but with the constant lines of ppl, I do not think there will be enough to accommodate. You can try all the flavors or get recommendations. I tried 3 flavors and the mango sticky rice had me at first kick. It's so good! Not too sweet, nice mixture with a taste of mango and coconut coming thru. Again sooo good! Super nice ppl behind the counter and they are definitely trying hard to accommodate the lines of ppl.

hands-down, my favorite ice cream place in Portland Oregon. I appreciated the staff been extremely patient while I was carefully selecting flavors. Ambience had a great feel to it and everyone was so nice. Looking forward to coming back here on a future visit.

An entirely pink/beige environment with lots of interesting flavors and the ability to sample whatever you want before ordering. Cornbread and Honey-no thanks Oregon Strawberry-no thanks Toasted Milk-Heck YES!! Got it topped with rainbow sprinkles that tasted like fine white chocolate.

I love going to ice cream places with unique flavors! My favorite so far is toasted milk. They allow free samples which is great, but price is a bit on the high end. Employees are nice. There's inside seating and place is clean with restroom available.

I believe this is the correct location, but if not sorry. We left laurelhurst theater and wanted something a little sweat. Saw this spot across the street and stopped by. Honestly I loved it. It reminded me of Ice Cream Social in Tacoma. It was delicious with unique flavors and solid options of splitting scoops. I dont have much more to add except if you like ice cream why not get great ice cream? Go here and enjoy.

In a city known for great ice cream, Fifty Licks is a stand out. Always interesting flavor combos made with intensely flavorful fresh ingredients. Stand outs for me have been Blood Orange Dreamcicle, the Chocolate AF+, and their occasional saffron offerings. It's a bit spendy, but that's to be expected. Pints for take out are also available. What I love also is that it rarely has the insane waiting lines of a certain other overly-hyped local ice cream empire. Strongly recommend.

I feel it is my duty to do my part to raise This place to five stars. 10 stars if I could give it. My friends know that I love random and exotic ice cream flavors, and mentioned going to this place during my visit to Portland. So glad I did! The line was out the door, which is to be expected after dinner time, and the Clinton st location is located in such a cute and quaint area, within the streets of a residential neighborhood, almost blending in with the homes, and looking like a residence itself. There is no seating here, save for a small bench outside the front, so people are in and out constantly, and parking is all residential street parking. The line moves very fast, and they offer two different sizes of scoops that you can mix and match. The flavors are so unique and interesting. I was with one person who was vegan and it was amazing how many options they had that fit her needs. In fact, you couldn't even taste the difference, one of the flavors I got ended up being vegan and you really can't tell. I get sample guilt when I asked to try to many samples, especially when there's a long line, so I kept it as simple as possible and went with a mix of the first two I tried, one of which came highly recommended, the mango sticky rice, and the corn bread honey butter. Both were dreamy and divine. They are so rich and potent in flavor, I really don't understand how you can give it that texture without real cream, especially for the vegan option, but I was wowed. If I lived here, it would be a problem for my health because you would catch me here at least once or twice a week. Cannot wait to visit Portland again and pretend calories don't count on vacation. Yum!

This was some good ice cream! I tried the Mango Sticky Rice that my son ordered and it was pretty good. I ended up getting Blondie vs. Brownie and it was so good. My other son got Chocolate AF and he said it was the best chocolate ice cream he's ever had in his life. Everyone behind the counter was super friendly and they offered to let us sample anything before we picked what we wanted. It's super clean and it has a good amount of seating inside.

Quaint, smaller ice cream shop with fun vibes. It's a smaller establishment that can comfortably seat only about twenty people. It can also get pretty crowded at night. The ice cream is high quality and comes in a lot of unique flavors with gluten free and vegan options. I personally recommend the mango sticky rice flavor. A classic scoop will run you about six bucks. Masks and hand sanitizer are not offered here, but the tables and counters are cleaned frequently.

My friend said that I had to get 50 licks while I'm out in Portland so I pulled up and it was delicious! I got the mango sticky rice and the blood orange creamsicle. The mango sticky rice was nice and light, yet creamy. The hints of mango were very subtle and blended super well with the coconut milk ice cream. The coconut milk ice cream was smooth and almost velvety. The blood orange creamsicle tasted exactly like how it sounds like. Super creamy and super soft, the orange flavor was tangy and mixed with the buttermilk ice cream it was a banger! I actually really loved the combinations of these two flavors and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area.

work meetings at coffee shops? work meetings at ice cream shops #fiftylicks is a local ice cream shop in portland, oregon that offers countless unique flavors and scoops! from cornbread honey butter to classic chocolate and vanilla! this local shop is perfect for all ice cream enthusiasts! there was only one person working so please be patient if there's a line! the server was so kind and intentional. they have so many recommendations! you also have the ability to try before you buy! i ordered their new caramelized honey on a waffle cone sweet, rich, flavorful! work meetings are more productive with ice cream!! the space is large with tables to fit groups of 4 or single stools too! good music, decent location, right off the bus stop!

I was visiting Portland and stumbled across this gem the second to last night and omg was I sad. Because this is some delicious ice cream and Im not a big ice cream person but fifty licks was amazing. I had it again on my last night.... I already miss this place. You don't get to go inside but you can still ask to sample flavors. All the flavors are good but the one that stood out for me was the cornbread honey butter & mango sticky rice . The texture of the mango sticky rice was spot on. You taste the mango and the rice flavors it was out of this world. I hope they're working of shipping ice cream because these flavors are too good to keep in Portland only.

Super cute ice cream shop with a good variety of flavors. The girl working was super nice and ordering was quick and painless. I ordered a mini scoop of mocha mud pie and my partner got a mini scoop of vanilla af in a waffle cone. The mocha mud pie is also vegan. We were both happy with our flavors and the waffle cone was very good. Price point was solid as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and craving ice cream!

Fifty Licks was my saving grace on the dessert end in this part of town. Craving a vegan friendly dessert option, it was by accident that we stumbled upon this on the corner of a busy intersection. And wow, it was such a great find. There are so many vegan options here - nearly half the menu is either vegan, gluten-free, or both! You order at the entrance and the staff bring it out to you, as they're not allowing folx to enter the shop as of yet. Out of the two flavors I got, I have to hand my licks over to their Mango Sticky Rice. So, so good with its creaminess and flavor. It didn't feel overly sweet and it was a great treat on a hot day. I got that and another Chocolate mini-scoop for $6 - not a bad price for some great ice cream.

The blonde person was so rude, when my friend walked in with her ESA in her arms she yelled, "you can't have a dog in here" then stared her down until she walked out with her emotional support animal! It was shocking and I decided that I would support my friend so we left. I hope they train their employees better because that was so cruel and unnecessary.

How I heard of this place: We were in town and friends wanted to walk over after lunch for a sweet treat. Type of cuisine: Ice cream! Ambiance: The shop interior looked cute and simple, but was closed to the public. We had to place our orders at the door and await our cones there. The menu is limited, but that makes it easier to decide on the flavor you prefer - especially because you can't see any of them before selecting your choice. What I ordered: One blood orange ice cream and one Vanilla AF. What I loved: The simplicity of the space. Why I loved it: We shared the experience with friends. Cost: High ($5-$7 for children's and single scoops)

Big scoop of Chocolate AF + little scoop of Oregon Strawberry (made from 60% local berries) + tremendous service = 50 LX of Perfection. Shout out to Keeley for being the best creamrista!

My boyfriend decided to get us some milkshakes from here. I had already gotten an ice cream cone from another ice cream shop, but he's full of surprises. He got the milkshake with chocolate, coconut, and caramel. Definitely tasted the hint of coconut and caramel. Marionberry shake was the winner! It was so tasty and creamy. Didn't get to finish it all and left in fridge for the next day and I thought it was even better! If you see Marionberry, do not hesitate to get it! It was absolutely delicious. Plus, it is a berry that is specific to Oregon I believe. So you know you gotta get it!

Best ice cream i have ever had. The waffle cone is not as salty as Jeni's so it pairs better with the not super sweet ice cream. The flavors is what gets me. Better than Salt and Straw. I had honey and black sesame. On my way out i tried matcha and cornbread, their eclectic flavors are so delicious.

Got there 1 hour before closing. Still very helpful. Allowed multiple flavors to try before choosing. I had dreamsicle and chocolate.

Was in here tonight and loved it. Warm atmosphere, rich ice cream, and awesome service. Retro colors, vintage signage, and a sweet staff (Kayley/Kaylee). Got an 'Oregon Strawberry' milkshake and a pint of 'Mocha Mud Pie'.

I tried the Burnside location for the first time today. It was a cold Sunday night so I was surprised to see the long line of people down the block waiting for ice cream!!!! This place is POPULAR. There was only one employee working his butt off but he was super nice and didn't seem too stressed out despite all of the customers. I ordered the mocha mud pie in a waffle cone and it was THE BEST ice cream I've ever had. I'm serious.. it was everything that I look for in an ice cream- creamy, rich, smooth, decadent, vegan (!!!) and I loved the way it lingered in my mouth. I enjoyed prying out the hidden chunks of brownie with my tongue that were nestled between my crunchy and sweet waffle cone. The brownie was soft, as if it had just arrived fresh from the oven though chilled at the same time. The suble coffee flavor nicely complemented the dominant chocolate flavors in the ice cream and left me devouring every last amazing lick. Although the waffle cone wasn't the crunchiest I've ever had, it had a phenomenal flavor and took my ice cream experience to the next level. Level 10/10. I only wish that I've gotten more scoops of the mocha mud pie so that I could have continued my ice cream fantasy come true longer.

Delicious ice cream and gluten free waffle cones! We had the bananas fosters (V, GF), and the chocolate coconut caramel (V, GF). Both were creamy, flavorful, and amazing. This was the first time we've had waffle cones in a long time. And service and portions were great.

Lovely environment and the staff do a good job at handling the large crowds. Tends to get a long line, but everyone up front is nice to talk to to pass the time. High quality ice cream too.

This location deserves special recognition!! We came twice this week (I can't help myself, they are THAT good), and we came in the evening and there was only one person working both times. Even with a line, the staff were so friendly and kind and did not seem annoyed or outwardly stressed having to manage everything on their own. Thank you for bringing a smile to your job and uplifting Fifty Licks all the much more!! Alsooo, I think this location also is the most generous in their scoop sizes (shhh. don't tell). Awesome location, awesome ice cream, awesome people - what more can you want in life?

Languid service. Extremely stale waffle cone. Ten dollars for two small scoops, already melting when served to me in said cone. I was underwhelmed.

Omg I wish I had known about fifty licks sooner! The ice cream is so creamy and balanced, and there's many unique flavors to choose from. I got a double mini scoop of the mango sticky rice and brownie vs blondie. Both were really good but I loooved the mango sticky rice flavor. It actually tastes like the dessert in ice cream form, I don't know how they did that! Brownie vs blondie was also great and had chunks of brownie and blondie bites! I was impressed by how the ice cream still felt light and balanced despite these intense flavors. I can't wait to come back again to try other flavors! And if it's your first time I highly recommended the mango sticky rice flavor.

Great little pop up window, unique and bold flavors. Spent the weekend in Portland as a tourist I was told that fifty licks is better than salt & straw which seemed to be very popular. I got the mango rice I believe and the lavender salted caramel.

Ok ok, I have since returned to Fifty Licks and have to admit -- they are really that good. On my initial visit, I went for some basic flavors -- brownie/blondie and chocolate/mocha on. Things that I knew for sure I'd like. But to be fair to Fifty Licks, I didn't try the slightly more intriguing things like the mango sticky rice ice cream. Until one day, I did. I grabbed ice cream pints for me and a gluten free fried and I stumbled upon the mango sticky rice flavor and at that moment, my life was irreversibly changed for the better. This was by far one of the best ice creams I have had in SUCH a long time. Refreshing, perfectly sweet, and well rounded. I honestly dream about when I will go back and try this flavor again. Since this visit, I also came to hear about their seasonal flavors which I am veeeery hyped to try in the near future! Do yourself a favor, swing by and grab the mango sticky rice flavor to try!

In LA, I've yet to find a ice cream shop that I exceptionally like, even though we have most implanted. Fighty Licks Ice Cream though was really exceptional. The flavors are unique, creamy, and rich. It really left a great impression. What I tried - 1. Oregon Strawberry - wow, this one blew my mind. the flavor of the strawberry really jumped out. i dream about it, i truly do. 2. Mango Sticky Rice - maybe this is because I am Asian, but the mango drizzle and coconut rice flavor was exceptional. 3. Cornbread Honey Butter - if you love cornbread, this is your bread and butter (literally). cornbread chunks mixed in and the honey butter over what i'm guessing is vanilla was so good.

There were so many good options on the menu. I wanted to try them all! Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if they're doing samples at this time. Neither is the inside tables open. You have to order the ice cream at the counter at the door. I ordered the double mini with Lavender Salty Caramel and Mango Sticky Rice. The Lavender Salty Caramel was very creamy but mostly tasted of Lavender. I didn't taste much of the caramel at all. The Mango Sticky Rice was pretty good with hints of coconut as it is vegan. I could definitely taste the flavor it was supposed to be bit the texture was a bit icier given that it is not dairy. The ice cream wasn't super sweet so it wasn't super overpowering. Overall, it was a solid ice cream place but Salt & Straw definitely gives them a run for their money.

A fun and unique little gem of an ice cream shop with lots of super cool flavors! I stopped by for dessert and... if I could try all the flavors, I totally would because every single one looks SO. GOOD. There's also tons of vegan options too. The staff is so sweet and they are taking all the COVID precautions seriously -- you order at the door (where they set up a small stand) and they hand your scoops to you! I got two mini scoops of the Mango Sticky Rice and Bananas Foster and LOVED it. The ice cream is so creamy and the flavors are SO good -- the mango sticky rice tasted exactly like the classic dessert in ice cream form! And the bananas foster was also really great without being overwhelmingly banana-y! Also wanted to shoutout the Thai Rice and Brownie vs Blondie flavors -- tried a bite from my friend and loved those too. Basically just know that anything off this list is bound to taste great. Overall, seriously loved it and I'm coming back to make my way down the list.

Fifty Licks Ice cream will have you come check them out based on their unique flavors and will keep you coming back based on how creamy their scoops are! Whether you're enjoying dinner nearby and grabbing dessert or making the trek just to check them out, you'll want to come with others so you can sample other flavors as well ;) I didn't ask for samples during this time, but it seems like they used to do samples of their flavors. Not sure if this has changed. During this visit I ended up trying a scoop of the Blondie VS Brownie (Chunks of brownies and chunks of blondies fight it out in a vanilla and scorched-milk ice cream) and a scoop of the French Toast (Maple ice cream with challah french toast chunks with a ribbon of dark maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon). They were kind and even let us do a cone on the side! Both were delicious but the blondie vs. brownie was definitely my favorite as I got chunks of both type of sweets. The french toast is also a winner if you're craving something more cinnamon-y. Their scoops are on the creamier side of the scale so really rich/decadent to end your night or cool you down on a warm day. Will definitely need to come back to try Choc-Coco-Mel, Lavender Salted Caramel, and toasted Milk, or basically all the flavors. haha. Looks like they have a cute indoor space as well so can't wait to come in when they re-open eventually.

I live in the área and have been here many times. Overall the ice cream is great, flavors are innovative and tasty but the prices are steep. Even the most basic scoop option runs you around $8. If I'm paying for me and 1 other friend and we get a little more elaborate it's easily been $25. So just feels expensive. But other than that everything is great about this place. I love the new take on an old classic ice cream shop feel.

Generally always find them to be tasty. I find every flavor is very different but is always high quality. I got a double mini today with honey butter cornbread and salty lavender caramel. I found the texture of the cornbread kind of odd, but the flavors were overall subtle and pleasant. The salty lavender caramel was more my speed with a floral richness. I think the brownie blondie is my favorite of their flavors.

Fist time here! We were super surprised how simple yet modern the ice cream shop was! The server that was helping us was kind of nice and offer us samples! She kept asking if we wanted to try more after 30 seconds and us not knowing what we wanted on the menu - I felt rushed and pressured. I tried the Brownie vs Blondie + Blood Orange Creamsicle while my boyfriend tried the Black Sesame and Mango Sticky Rice. I ended up getting the Blood Orange while he got the Mango Sticky Rice - which was 1000% on point for the rice flavor like crazy good!

I wanna lick lick that ice cream from top to bottom. I'm sad 50 doesn't do samples anymore post-pandemic; I have fond memories of visiting here prior and enjoyed tasting the varieties they offered. Nonetheless, I'm happy that they offer eclectic flavors, vegan offerings, all the things. This time around, I grabbed a Mango Sticky Rice and Mocha Mud Pie, and the girls had their Hood Strawberry (less milk and more berry flavor). I am usually no strawberry ice cream kinda gal, but this stuff is different. They didn't have Thai Rice (which I personally love), but we all thoroughly enjoyed our picks. Def worth a stop

Nothing can satisfy a sweet tooth more than ice cream at night. They have such great flavor combinations and flavors that's vegan for folks that can bar diary! I had their matcha mochi and I loved the mochi pieces and earthy matcha flavor. It didn't match very well, but I also had their lavender caramel. I love lavender ice cream, and wasn't super about the caramel, but it just worked! My partner got the banana foster and it had just great and strong fresh banana taste. He got it with a mocha flavor ice cream, and when combined, it was phenomenal. Too bad they didn't have waffle cones that night, or it would have been perfection!

Two mini scoops of Mango sticky rice with matcha mochi on a waffle cone and then lavender salty caramel and choco coco mel on a waffle cone. The waffle cones were warm, fresh and supppaaaa crunchy! All the flavors are exquisite and not too sweet! Choco coco mel is one of my personal favorites If you're into coconut milk, coconut flavor and chocolate! Mango sticky rice was WOW and matcha mochi had just enough matcha (green tea) aroma and taste that it is not overpowering. Lavender salty caramel was on the sweet side but that is probably because for every bite into my mouth, I bit both lavender + chocolate together. Can't blame me, I couldn't resist!! All I have to say is Fifty Licks flavors are unforgettable and always have interesting yet ahmazzzzinngggg flavors!

I'm an extreme fan of ice cream and this was AMAZE! Fun flavors! Some of them were a miss for me (cornbread) but the toasted milk so was good and creative!

This is such a cute little ice cream parlor. Because of COVID, no one is allowed inside or have any samples. They have very interesting flavors. I decided to play safe and got the strawberry cheesecake which was really good. Tastes just like the real thing, but this was gluten free. You definitely wouldn't be able to tell it was. I felt bad because the girl helping us looked like she was by herself and was trying her best to tend to everyone. She wasn't flustered, and kept calm and still provided exceptional customer service to everyone. We didn't mind waiting at all.

Best ice cream I've ever had in my life. The Banana Foster, omg. And the Chocolate Coconut Caramel. How are either of these vegan??

Unique flavors, but mixed feelings about their executions. Overall, this place seems like too much going on for it to be a place I would consistently come to. I'd probably pick Salt and Straw over this place. But as for what I had, the biggest disappointment was the cornbread one. The cornbread was broken down so finely that it tasted like soggy cornbread with bits of honey mixed about. Other flavors were good, but not memorable. Considering how long the line was for this place, I don't think it was worth the wait.
