    Decadently delicious! Thank you for offering such yummy vegan treats 💚 if I'm ever in Portland again, you can bet I'm stopping by for more! I had the lemon cheesecake - there were big chunks of tasty graham cracker crust inside. So good & very filling! Very kind & friendly staff too 😊

    WOW. I will be telling everyone I know immediately. What a total treat. I tried the salted maple and PB cookie. The cashew-coconut blend base is amazing. It’s decadent for sure. And super creamy. Personally would go for a half scoop in the future even though my heart would say whole! What a treat to have GF cookies in the flavors! The cone is a bit fragile but it’s such a treat. It has a dark caramel flavor. Tell all your vegan gluten free friends. And all your restriction-free friends. This is 🔥💣🤤

    I wish I could review more than once. I’m giving Sticky Sweet another 5 ⭐️ review for each visit over the past 2 years for being the worlds best ice cream!! Of course they are the best plant-based vegan ice cream, but there’s now no doubt in my mind that it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Also the sweetest people behind the counter, always smiles ready to help with flavor details and personalized suggestions. Love you Sticky Sweet ❤️ 1st review - Looks like Portland will be seeing a lot more of me!! I got two scoops tonight, one sea Salted Caramel & one Fat Vanilla Bean stuffed in a delicious, fresh, homemade waffle cone!! Such a treat having amazing, plant based ice cream so close to home. So good!! We’ll see you again soon :)

    This shop is absolutely wonderful!! There is such a variety of great vegan ice cream flavors, and I was thrilled to be able to enjoy a gluten free waffle cone! The staff are super friendly as well. I can’t wait to come back to Portland and try a new flavor:) Wish I could give 6 stars!!

    Some of the best vegan ice cream flavors I’ve seen! It was incredibly hard choosing two, but they were both delightfully creamy & perfectly balanced.

    100% gluten free and vegan ice cream. Not to mention gluten free waffle cones! The best I’ve ever had. They use all natural ingredients. They have tons of flavors and also always have new flavors so there are always new things to try. The staff is so friendly and it’s a family run local business. It’s a can’t miss in Portland!

    amazing vegan ice cream!! Definitely on the pricey side, but we couldn’t resist coming back the next day to try the milkshakes which didn’t disappoint. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to have a waffle cone or milkshake! Very thankful to have found this great dairy free place.

    First place I’ve discovered in New England that has gluten free waffle cones. :) stand is very cute and all the flavors looked good. I tried the dark chocolate mint and mint cookie flavor and they were both delicious! Will be back next time I am in town.

    I was SO excited to try out this ice cream spot while visiting Portland for the weekend. I’m beyond happy a place like this exists! Being able to enjoy vegan ice cream at a scoop shop is wonderful. I ordered a large cone, so 3 scoops. Portion was generous and the texture was spot on - very creamy and smooth. I had the sea salt maple, pumpkin spice, & candy bar flavors. The candy bar was excellent and the pumpkin spice was very good. I didn’t really care for the sea salt maple, however. It had an unusual aftertaste to me. The homemade waffle cone was okay, not as good as I hoped but it was very fresh. I appreciated that it was homemade, vegan, AND gf. That’s awesome. You can tell the owners really put love into their ice cream & cones. I will definitely return to try the other flavors!

    WOW! This ice cream is incredible, you won't miss the dairy at all! We got the key lime pie, dark chocolate mint, and cinnamon cookie. All were delicious! Even the one person in our group that was hesitant couldn't believe how smooth the ice cream was! I wish this was available across the US!

    I’m a dairy-free eater and this ice cream is truly awful. I got 3 different flavors and they all tasted the exact same; salty and metallic. My husband got the orange creamsicle, took a bite, and thought it was the salted caramel…but nope! To top it off, the gluten free cone was burnt and I read many reviews with the same issue. It’s wildly expensive… we spent $25+ so save your money and get dairy-free Ben & Jerry’s. I wanted to like this place. :(

    Fun and extensive vegan ice cream menu. The ice cream itself could've been better, they have several creative flavors but they all kind of taste the same (I suspect it's the flavor of dates which I'm guessing is used to sweeten some of them, but it just gives all the flavors a similar sharp cloying, slightly salty taste), and the texture isn't very creamy. If you do go I'd recommend just getting the ice cream and not any toppings because the toppings push it into too sweet territory and detract from the flavors.

    I’ve never had vegan ice cream before so didn’t know what to expect - the flavors are really unique and taste a lot stronger than I expected! I liked the vanilla best but all of them were kind of quirky and fun, definitely not like normal ice cream but in a good way! Staff was super friendly too. Would love to come back!
