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 chocolate chip cookie dough was my favorite - both basic and delicious. The only question I had was if the recipe or formula for the oatmeal cookie dough changed?

We must've had some good karma because when we walked in there was only about 8 people in front of us! I was really surprised in how attentive they were once it was our turn. It was nice to not feel rushed and rather everyone in line also understood that as well. I believe it's because everyone knew that they would have their turn. They encourage you to explore all their flavors and to not feel guilty about trying a wide variety of their menu. My group all ended up with different flavors and we were all super happy. I went with a lavendar-based flavor and a sea salt caramel in a homemade waffle cone. I highly recommend coming to tcheck them out.

When we came around 3pm, it wasn't busy, so we got to try some of the flavors right away. They had about fifteen different flavors, including few limited edition ones. We tried about six different ones before deciding the ones we wanted. The staff member was super friendly, politely handing us the sampling spoons with the requested flavors. The store offered single, double, split and kids scoops. They had waffle cone and bowls available as well. We picked the double vanilla and my favorite sea salt caramel ribbons. The kid's scoop costed $5.25 each and additional toppings were 75 cents each. I loved both the scoops. The taste was as good as other locations we had tried. The ice cream was dense and creamy. We enjoyed our time at the store, sitting by the benches they had by the large open windows.

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.

There are no samples allowed and many signs notifying you of it. Grab a small, medium, or large cup and choose your flavors. The machines are labeled like they have three options, but they have two options and a swirl. The swirl has a custom name which might make you think it's a specific flavor but it's a combination. Without samples, my partner got a flavor with a coconut base which is not his preference. A table of toppings and a cooler of toppings are available. There are a lot of choices, and some do make you wonder when they were set out / if they should be covered. Of course you pay by weight so you may want to be selective. Our two small cups ended up being $20 (! - I guess we weren't selective enough). We sat to eat, and noticed a number of gnats flying around. The decor is quirky - upbeat, bright lime green, but a little chaotic and worn down. Overall I think soft serve yogurt is a fun activity, and makes for a unique custom dessert every time, but the biz could benefit from some changes and a decor refresh.

When in Portland, it feels like you must go to the OG Voodoo Donuts that started it all. Sure we…read morehave locations in LA, but there's nothing like going to a place where it all started. I enjoy their chocolate old fashioned and cake donuts way more than their yeast. But if they have some adorably cute and themed yeast donut? Well I'm a sucker and I'm buying Cuteness will always win for me. Though I'm also a classy lady and just feel like the Cock N Balls donut every so often, as well. Their chocolate frosting though is legit! The shop is so fun, something to look at in every direction. They have a ton of merch for sale but also I love their rotating display of donuts. Makes for a fun way to check out their options! I did buy a pink mug with a hole in the middle that is super cool & cute that says, "The Magic is in the Hole" hehe Love their cheeky mantra! Staff is always friendly! There is always a line, hopefully not out the door, but it always moves quickly and staff is ready to help. Long live Voodoo!

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.
