This is a new ice cream shop on E 2nd. I discovered it while walking all around town during the…read moreMuralFest. The sweet and intoxicating scent of freshly made waffle cones had me at hello! The shop footprint is massive! So to set expectations, the ice cream shop is new and just getting started. So the space is far larger than what is currently needed for the ice cream counter. The business is run by a mom and daughter and they plan on adding a full coffee bar and soda fountain with video and arcade games in the back. For now it's just ice cream and they had about 2 dozen flavors - all the usual suspects like salted caramel, mint chocolate chip, java, Rocky Road, etc. Prices are very reasonable - 1 scoop is $3.95 with each additional scoop costing an incremental $2. With so many gourmet ice cream shops in Portland that sell one scoop for $6.95, this felt like a bargain! On a hot summer day, my waffle cone with a scoop of salted caramel and a scoop of java was just the refreshing treat I didn't know I needed! Oh, and service was super friendly, offering tastes and serving with a smile! Small town charm as it should be. Clearly the owners intend for this to be a warm and welcoming place for friends and families to gather with affordable offerings and fun activities. Once their plan materializes, I hope it will become a destination spot and not feel like a take out ice cream shop in a massive space. For now four stars, but I will definitely go back and re-evaluate when the coffee bar opens.

The place ran like a finely tuned machine and everyone working there was friendly and hard working. The service was fast considering how busy they were. They had a large munu of burgers, sandwiches, shakes, ice cream, abd breaded style seafood. We had cheesburgers and fries. Both were tasty. We will make this a new goto place when driving through.

The folks here are always so friendly and they will not rush you to order but will double check you know all your options and get something you love. The dining area and bathrooms are always clean and welcoming. If you stop here you won't leave disappointed.

A pleasant surprise in Govy!…read more My kids have been coming to summer ski camp for five years now, and both kids have had Volcano Cones. Today was the first day we've all had their ice cream. First, it's just ice cream! I don't know what the name represents. Because all though Mt. Hood is a "potentially active stratovolcano" (pulled that straight from Google!), most people wouldn't extrapolate that far, in my opinion. I thought a volcano cone was going to be like a hole in the middle filled with hot fudge or something ... it's not. It's just ice cream! The staff working at the shop today were so nice!!!! I'm hoping this is always the experience! During COVID it's hard to find good help, but the two young women were great with service. Kudos to these employees! The ice cream is delicious! I don't know if it's "homemade" but it has to be small-batch. They even have a traditionally Govy flavor of Huckleberry; which I enjoyed and would recommend and would order again. I also got Mint Chip, my staple! The mint chip was green meaning they had to add food dye; I prefer when brands don't, but the food dye doesn't effect the taste. My husband and son both got salted caramel and Oreo. The Oreo was ordered on recommendation from other reviewers and they liked it. Salted caramel is a favorite of my son especially and he gives it two thumbs up. This will be an annual experience. Update: Went for a second night and got the Beachcomber which I enjoyed more than I expected. Also got the strawberry which has been my least favorite so far - not bad, just least favorite.

They put so much care into everything. Listen- always get the salad here. They're always delicious and contain surprises. This time we got marinated rhubarb, which is in season, and which I'm excited to make and put in my own spring salads at home. Also, edible flowers, and while we ate lunch, we saw a worker picking them from the little garden. The sandwich was a shrimp roll, which was great, maybe with homemade bread? It was perfect. The sandwich was zesty, with a remoulade and little pickled jalapeños. And what were those crunchy things on top? Crushed barbecue potato chips! A delightful detail most restaurants wouldn't bother with. And the soft serve sundaes, which are also full of artistry and interesting textures! You have to get one.

Walking into the Soda Shop, it feels like a kid's daydream. There was candy and souvenirs everywhere, a big ice cream counter, and, of course, the soda shop. I noticed that they also sell food here-- it smelled amazing and I would definitely give it a try if I came again. Ordering was easy, and the young man behind the counter was really helpful-- I had never been to a soda hop before, so I had some questions about the options. He did not make me feel silly for having questions, and he did a good job of both training his coworker and being attentive to the line at the same time. I ordered a sugar free salted caramel soda (there were so many sugar free options!!!) It was delightful. I was a little apprehensive that it would actually taste like the flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. The price point is higher than you would pay for a normal soda, but I think that the novelty of the experience is worth it. We had a great time, and would definitely return (I want to see the upper level, too-- that was closed for a private event when we stopped in).
