Creative flavors like mango sticky rice & vegan options
"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
"Offers a perennial favorite Oregon strawberry flavor available year-round." - Janey Wong
"The original permanent location of Fifty Licks has been slinging silky ice cream on Southeast Clinton since 2013. With flavors like Vanilla AF and Chocolate AF, this shop doesn’t take itself too seriously, but flavors like mango sticky rice and coconut lemon saffron scoops remain artfully constructed. The shop’s Oregon strawberry ice cream is a beautiful showcase of the state’s spring and summer spoils." - Nick Woo, Eater Staff
"A Portland shop specializing in ultra-rich custards and inventive flavor pairings — think Thai Rice (jasmine rice with pandan), Cornbread with Honey Butter, and a Thai basil–infused fresh pineapple — with thoughtful vegan options as well." - Alina Polishuk
"What started out as food truck has now become a successful Portland ice cream chainlet with multiple locations — one that makes luscious creamy milkshakes. Owner Chad Draizin’s ice cream shop, Fifty Licks, offers dairy options with inventive flavors like French toast, cornbread and honey butter, and matcha mochi, as well as fun vegan options like bananas foster and pineapple tamarind. All flavors can be made into milkshakes, but while it’s still in season, the Marionberry milkshake — aka “the reigning queen of summer” — is not to be missed." - Maya MacEvoy
