I went back to Sticky Sweet, have reconsidered my initial rating, and am glad I did!…read more I think the key to Sticky Sweet (at least for someone who avidly enjoys dairy ice cream and isn't used to vegan alternatives) is to order fruit-based flavors. I find anything a la Oreo or chocolate to be a bit too chalky. The cup of strawberry jam I had was delish! Not to mention, the owner is such a sweetheart and the stand is perfectly positioned off of Washington Ave, which lured me in after a hearty meal down the road. Definitely worth stopping by if you're on the hunt for yummy dairy free or gluten free ice cream!

They get really busy at peak times so try to stop in at an off time if you can. Though the lines move quick so don't be afraid when you see it's out the door.

A must stop place if you're visiting Portland, and a regular place to keep in rotation if you live here!

The place had a lot of different options for ice cream given that it was a food truck, which was super Duper cool. I ended up getting the maple creamy with the apple crisp on the bottom.

Truck was superduper cute and I really loved her concept of her business and she provided a great service.

I just returned home from having ice cream at Veranda St…read more After years of patronage at all Beals locations, I can now say with certainty.. I will never go back. I just paid $9.13 for the smallest, medium ice cream I have ever been served AND by the most SMUG young ladies. I understand you can't give the house away, but the cost of the ice cream, the outrageous up-charge for sprinkles, the $.20 for the extra dish came to $9.13. It was my choice to leave the extra change as tip.... In total..... $10.00. I've seen child size ice creams larger than what I was served. Going forward, I will be taking my business to other local shops, like Sammy's Scoops or Twisted Swirls. Local businesses that truly appreciate my patronage. Thank you for being part of our community, but I'm done with Beals.

Coffee or oreo or a mint ice cream. I love the dish with 3 scoops and still ask for a sugar cone. They done seemed bothered by it.

Gross Confection recently announced on social media they would be shutting down the bar/desserts service while remaining open as a bakery. My wife and I came here many a times for an end cap to the night for one last drink and delicious and beautifully made desserts. From times in their dimly lit space that gave off romantic vibes or even enjoying our desserts in the summer sun outside people watching, every time will be remembered. Timing worked out well and we were doing a staycation in Portland and knew we needed to add a stop here one last time. Thankfully we got our names in on the waiting list early enough Friday and got sat as one of the last tables. We each had one last phenomenal drink; my wife and Apricot 75 that had a great tart kick of apricot and lemon. While I enjoyed their Chai Fashioned which spelt like a chai but had that boozy bourbon warming you'd expect. Dessert wise everything sounded good as always but we settled on two. The Goat Cheesecake and Pineapple Cake. The cheesecake was the perfect sweetness without being cloying and the blueberry sorbet on top paired so well. The pineapple cake was moist and tasted so good we needed to scrap the plate clean. I'm sad that Portland is losing this amazing dessert space but glad it's not a complete goodbye since they'll operate the bakery still! If you somehow read this today and have the chance make it in for one last visit tonight before they close their doors!
