"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
"Operating on the club level (typically reserved for season ticket holders), Fifty Licks serves flavors such as mango sticky rice, mocha mud pie, lavender salted caramel, chocolate, vanilla, and an Oregon strawberry that tastes almost like a sorbet thanks to its hefty serving of berries." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"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
