Employees were helpful, not necessarily friendly. You e got a good array of vegan options. I believe all Made with coconut milk, so if you're not a fan of coconut, this might not be your vegan ice cream spot. I tried the sea salt caramel with chocolate chips, which was vegan. It was good, but the coconut stood out quite a bit (I do like coconut). I ended up with one of the 4 grass-fed dairy options, all the good things, which had caramel ice cream, chocolate swirl and fudge and peanut butter chips. It was good. I had it in a waffle cone for $2 more, bringing my half scoop and cone to $5, I believe. The waffle cone was yummy. I wouldn't say the ice cream was anything more special than you can get in your freezer, but nice to have an option out if you're plant-based. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the ice cream.

We ended up talking to a very nice and informative employee, who informed me of the different kinds of ice cream (plant base or grass fed dairy). I selected with the employee's suggestion, All the Good Things and Twisted Cookie Dough. All the Good Things was the special of the week. We paid $5.75 for two big scoops! What a deal. The ice cream was flavorful, creamy and not too sweet. Would I recommend coming by here? Absolutely YELP Yes!

THE GOOD STUFF: They partner with local artisans and fifth-gen family-owned Scott Brothers Dairy to churn out inventive flavors that surprise and delight, meanwhile creating community and investing in meaningful initiatives (Portland Means Progress, Emerging Leaders program for underrepresented artisans/chefs, and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for kiddo cancer research). All from a couple of guys who had never made ice cream before! Ice cream that tastes good & gives me good feels, too. For late Summer I'm loving the Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie (Limited Edition Summer Pies Series) and another classic-always-fave Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The three make an incredible trifecta of my very own sundae (waffle bowl/cone optional)!

When we stopped in, several flavors weren't available and those that were, were hit or miss on texture with some being almost inedibly runny. The frozen flavors were delicious, albeit being limited, and they had a reasonable selection of toppings. The shop was middle of the road on cleanliness and they no longer offer samples, which was disappointing, but the staff were friendly and attentive which was positive. I'd prob lean 3.5 stars. I admittedly miss the old tartberry but am glad they're still around for those nostalgic froyo outings.

It's honestly just to say you've been to the original store (like going to the original Starbucks at Pike Place even though the coffee isn't gonna be much different than any other Starbucks). Same idea here. I've gotten donuts from the Universal City Walk location so I've tried Voodoo Donuts. They sell merch and yes expect to stand in line to get inside (there's a security dude who handles the crowd control outside). My daughter and I shared a Voodoo Doll donut - it was very sweet - but soft and fresh. I've ticked this place off my list now! The good thing is this location is open until 3am every day which is pretty neat.

Ok.... disappointments in order of appearance with the disclosure, up front that we were visiting them in their last 30 minutes open.... having no intention whatsoever to eat our treats there but also figuring we'd have time to try stuff, get stuff and be ok. First disappointment - we both really were looking forward to trying, and assuming we would be eating the flavor they've been promoting - peanut butter butterscotch. Sounds so good right? Well we wouldn't know, because both the gals behind the counter almost mocked us for even thinking that they would have it available. It was a weird flex... truly they didn't even have a marker for it or language saying they were out of it - they just said it was not available in a weird way. I asked permission to try a few flavors... and gal number 1 give me an enthusiastic yes , which I appreciated. I'm sorry but I always want to try so many things, realizing that with each try, most flavors are too much - or would be too much if I got an order of it. I try to only taste 2-3 but almost always end up ordering the one I don't try which is vanilla (yep, that is how I roll). I tried the boysenberry which was incredible but, too much. I then tried the mint chocolate and confirmed I still don't like theirs (I had forgot it very punchy mint, more like mouthwash than fro yo) but I always try it because I keep hoping they will change the recipe. Soooo... gal 1 went away leaving gal 2. It genuinely felt like we just got handed to the bouncer... I honestly felt afraid to try anything else because she immediately was very aggressive... like "What else" isn't a question but an order to GTFO. This intensified as my friend had questions because she's vegan, so making sure things are vegan and she was curious about getting a shake - more going for a blizzard situation. Gal 2 started lecturing her about flavors saying she was interested in too many (because M&Ms & vegan butterfingers apparently ate a ridiculous ask?). She was also saying it would be chunky - isn't that the point? My friend asked if she had had a shake there and was given a very stern NO. It was just a bit insane... like, I appreciate you are maybe wanting to close early but WOW. I said , I just want vanilla thank you... and I figured I would just order Oreos on top - again, simple. She then lectured me that they don't have that and was trying to add cookie dough... ummm... have you had an Oreo? That is a completely different flavor, texture and thing .... and no... I started asking if there was any fresh fruit or something and she seemed confused at the question... I walked almost to the register and saw marion berry compote. Yes, that's all please angry person... my friend took her time ordering while I practically ran out. I was just super uncomfortable. She had perfect eyebrows I really wanted to compliment her on but it has been a bit since I felt such strong GTFO vibes. I assume maybe she had a spicy customer before us earlier but eek. It's so true about every encounter. I'll definitely remember this one as being pretty unpleasant. My friend joked that gee, her shake was delicious even though it was apparently made with pure hate.

We waited about 20 min to get seated, which was alright, but then after being seated we waited another 20 minutes and decided to leave because no one had attempted to acknowledge our table. To be fair, it was during a busy time, but we had to decide to cut our losses rather than waiting around for someone to talk to our table. No idea how the food is, we left before we could order any.
