Best of Both Valentines Sundae
Rebecca B.

This place is great! The staff is super nice and the treats are really tasty. It's just like an ice cream shop, but there are options for scoops of cookie dough. I thought I could handle the cookie dough, but it is so rich and sweet I could barely finish my sundae. If you are a huge cookie dough person this is a must try! My husband who doesn't really like cookie dough even liked it.

Perfect spot if you LOVE Cookie Dough! Just like an ice cream shop is this Cookie Dough Cafe located in downtown Portland. It smells really good just like cookies and you can choose your cookie dough flavors and it eat just like ice cream. Workers are super friendly, lots of different options of sizes and flavors to purchase cookie dough. You can even eat the cookie dough straight from there! I don't think I paid attention or know if people actually try to bake the cookie dough with their leftovers. But a fun spot and nice sweet treat if you're looking for a pick me up! We got the birthday cake cookie dough and it was great. There are even options to get cookie dough and ice cream as well as additional toppings. There isn't much street parking but typical city parking around the shop.

Our flight into Portland arrived late and we got to our hotel even later, so I decided to just stay in and DoorDash a couple things. This place was presented as an add-on to my main order and since it was on my list of places to try, I went ahead and ordered a couple scoops of the cookies n' cream. To put it simply, it was super good. I'm normally not a fan of cookie dough but the cookies n' cream flavor was super tasteful. I would definitely order again.

I was shocked when I saw this place on Google Maps because I could have sworn I saw this concept on Shark Tank a long time ago. And I was right! Turns out they didn't end up closing the deal as it seemed on the show. The actual desserts are FANTASTIC!! We were in Portland for only 4 days and ate here for all 4 days. I loved the original cookie dough and Oreo + cookie dough flavors, paired with the cookies & cream ice cream. It wasn't busy any of the 4 times we went, so service was fast and I was able to talk to them about the history of the business. Ambiance is relaxed and seemed good for a date night. Easy parking right in front. Prices were very fair and the cup was big enough for two to enjoy. I loved it and wish it was nationwide. It could be very successful!

Brownie batter doughwich and m&m cookie

A small cookie shop in downtown Portland. A little too sweet but super satisfying to eat. I ordered the Doughwich and my fiancé ordered just the M&M cookie. Although not pictured, it is a sweet skinny cookie with a bunch of M&Ms for you to bite into. The Doughwich is just batter mushed into a sandwich with ice cream in the middle. The Doughwich is already premade as they keep this frozen in the back. This dessert option comes in a few flavors. You do not get to pick the ice cream flavor, only the dough sandwich part. I sadly dont remember the rest but two of the options i debated were the Brownie Batter and the M&M cookie dough. As pictured, i chose the Brownie Batter, which sandwiched a sweet and tart raspberry flavor. I will have to come back again to try the rest of the dessert options. So far the Doughwich has won my heart and will come back to try the M&M cookie dough flavor.

Cookie dough served like ice cream! I know! I'm in! At least I thought I was in. I think they do a great job and offer a cool product... in fact it's one that I had thought I would love. Turns out... I don't really want to eat that much cookie dough. I was "Doughed Out" after a few bites. A great concept and worth a try, and for those of you who need cookie dough served with a side of more cookie dough I think you will love it. I'll give a 4 star on the unique idea but a 3 star for my pallets. For me, I'll get ice cream next time.

It takes $0 to be nice to someone and wow this place delivered on that!! Special shout out to Ella for taking her time to get to know my friend and I, while explaining the cookie dough and ice cream selection. She also was able to recommend some nearby fried chicken places when I mentioned I love fried chicken. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! She's the sweetest and never rushed us while we made our decisions. My friend ended up deciding on ice cream while I opted for cookie dough. They have a handful of flavors each for you to choose from. The cookie dough is obviously heavier, so if you're looking for something light, I'd go with ice cream. The scoops are $3.50 each. Definitely coming back for some sweets before we leave town!

Yum! Looking for a quick dessert place on the way home from dinner downtown. Was happy to find this place still open and find friendly staff and yummy cookie dough. Everything was clean, staff was wearing masks and gloves and very friendly. The best combo we liked was one cookie dough scoop and one ice cream. Otherwise, the 2 scoop of dough was too sweet.

everything cookie dough with coffee ice cream
Emily O.

This place is SO good! we came here for some dessert after having lunch down the street. I got half coffee ice cream and everything cookie dough. The dough was the perfect consistency and went great with the ice cream. Big shout out to the employee who was working at the time. I unfortunately did not catch her name. She was so sweet to us, and while we were in there a homeless woman came in and was borderline harassing her, and she handled it SO well. We weren't really sure what to do, but another employee came out from the back and was there with her. Will absolutely be back!

My friend and I spent a little time trying to decide what we wanted for dessert on our first night…read morein Portland, and we finally landed on Miss Oz. Croffles and ice cream?! Baby, I wanted PARTS. We got there about 45 minutes before closing, and I really appreciated the staff going above and beyond for me. When I explained that this would be my only chance to try a croffle during my visit, they went to the back and were able to grab one for me. They absolutely did not have to do that, especially so close to closing, and I genuinely appreciated it! And I'm so glad they did because the Cookies & Cream Croffle with a scoop of Cookies & Cream ice cream on the side was the perfect sweet treat to end the night. The croffle was delicious, the ice cream was great, and the whole combination hit the spot. Miss Oz is such a cute, quality little dessert shop. Definitely make this a stop during your trip to Portland if you're looking for something sweet and a little different from the average ice cream shop.

The vibe appears to be one of modern appearances, with old-school "ice cream parlor" ambiance (50s and 60s music is what is played, and I appreciate this). Variety of flavors is wide, and there are fresh cookies available. Prices are on the high side (location, though), the interior is very clean, and staff is very friendly and helpful. The cookies were disappointing, but not bad. Ice cream was on the better side of average, but is nothing groundbreaking. I definitely recommend stopping in for a fun experience if you're in the neighborhood.

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! Great service here 5/5 stars Food: Premium Ice cream 5/5 stars Value: awesomeness Ambiance: a little noisy due to the little kiddos playing. 3.5/5 stars

Hard not to see the bright pink shop and people exiting with pink boxes and smiles on their faces. A line outside is a common sight, together with a guard who controls the limit of customers from entering. Inside, you'll see merchandise and a huge donut on the ceiling. Various donuts are displayed in revolving glass cases. Also the prices vary too, depending on the donut. We bought 4 to try at the hotel and we came to the consensus that the apple fritters $4.99 were the best and they were huge. It had a slight crisp to it where the sugar caramelized and although sweet, it was delicious with a cup of tea/coffee. We managed to make another trip and bought a box for the plane. And it was still good the next day when left on the counter. Chilling it will melt the sugar. Overall, this place had some weird donuts which were indicative of the quirky and strange things in Portland.

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.

So it looks like there may be a wait at times, just a heads up. Order at the counter. Staff calls your number and brings the item out to you. The shop interior is cute and minimal, and they have number of two-person tables outdoors on their patio. We got a couple of items: the fruity pebbles, the Biscoff, and the watermelon. It was very helpful to have photos of the items at the counter. Nevertheless, we ordered too much - they were HUGE. We should have split. But we all loved the bingsu - the actual shaved milk is not too sweet and the toppings add the flavor. So the watermelon was a little less sweet overall as the fruit was the flavoring since there was no syrup. The fruity pebbles and the Biscoff were a little bit more sweet and layered throughout, which is what I wanted.
