This place is absolutely amazing. 100% add this to your stop on a warm day! They make every order custom so you KNOW it's fresh. The menu is super simple, four flavors, they take fresh fruit and mix it with vanilla base for New Zealand style ice cream and it creates this amazing fresh fruity soft serve! Then they have some basic toppings and I LOVE that they have toasted coconut. I'm a coconut fanatic and this is the perfect topping. I got the marionberry with toasted coconut and it almost tasted like a marionberry pie ala mode. It was absolutely amazing. Plus they do a free ice cream for your birthday ! I came in celebrating and they were so super nice and gave me my free cone.Definitely will be back and highly recommend this place to everyone !
We've never had "New Zealand" style ice cream before, but this is setting a very high bar for what we think it should be. Nico's delicious ice cream base is combined to order with fresh fruit in a contraption that gently augers everything together into a fruity ice cream that is softer than scooped ice cream, but firmer than soft serve. The store is tiny so we took our order to go. It looked like this was a huge hit with kids as well.
Been a couple times now, and would definitely recommend. Flavorful ice cream that you get to watch get twisted out of a cool machine.It was busy last night with a wait. But they have coloring sheets for kids. Only complaint would be that patrons of the bar next door were smoking on the sidewalk feet away from Nicos door.
Local fruit mixed with ice cream (uses a cool machine from NZ) and you have the option of a topping. Best waffle cone I've had in a long while! Nice n fresh.I'm seeing coming back a lot during the Spring and Summer. Also, the staff is just really cool and nice which always makes everything even more enjoyable.
Today my 4 yr old granddaughter and I walked up to the shop for ice cream cones. The nice woman was just turning the sign to “CLOSE” because the ice cream machine wasn’t working. She graciously let us in to pick carton and gave us a cone and sprinkles to take home. My granddaughter was so happy. Thank you so much for not disappointing her. Your ice cream is amazing.❤️?❤️
Best ice cream in town! Our favorite hands down.
We went with our toddlers for the first time and it was delicious. The person serving the ice cream was kind and patient with our 2.5 year olds. We went on Tropical Thursday and the flavors were so good. We got all 3 and can’t pick a favorite. Overall a fun experience for our family. Thank you! We’ll be back for sure.
This ice cream is great. Very unique how the fruit is blended into the ice cream. I went on tropic Thursday and had the pineapple. So delicious! I will absolutely be back.
SUPER delicious fruit ice cream, and the toppings are pretty great too. The person running the store was super friendly, which made for an amazing environment. If you're looking for some quick and tasty ice cream in NE Portland, can't go wrong with here!!
What a lovely spot- We visited this place last week on “tropical Thursday” when the flavor offerings were mango, pineapple and banana. The shop is adorable, the employee was so nice (chatted with my kids and gave them coloring pages as well). The ice cream is unique and delicious, the portions are large, they have chamoy and tajin, and the logo/branding is adorable. the soft serve machine is also really cool and looks kind of like one of those old school giant press citrus juicers and is fun to watch the ice cream come out of. The whole experience was so nice, and I’m so happy to have it as a new neighborhood spot. There was no line (in January) so go now before it really blows up in the spring and summer.
