Great place to get a treat in the Hood River area, especially after a long hike. It's located in…read morethis adorable little house. The line was long but moved quickly. No credit cards allowed, the sign has details on ways to pay - luckily my group had cash. There is no seating inside but plenty outside. The huckleberry milkshake was delicious! Not too sweet, super creamy, and you truly enjoy fresh pieces of huckleberry with every sip.

Super cute place to grab some ice cream, milkshake, or a sundae. Luckily had a few dollars but it's…read morecash only. I never carry any cash anymore. There was no line. I Ordered the sundae & opted for the coconut, butter pecan & pistachio ice cream. It's so good! They accept IOU but I'm not sure how many people have actually paid up. There's a wall of Shame for those who don't pay up so just pay up plus who allows an IOU these days? So be sure to pay your IOU or just pay with cash. There's no seating indoor but some seating outside. They sell merchandise like caps & tshirts. There's street parking you can pay for. There's other shops nearby. Cute town.

I came for one thing-- an ice cream cone! I was NOT disappointed!…read moreKnowing that they have a reputation for being HUGE, I chose to only get a MEDIUM. I haven't had a cone this big since I was a kid and the little place in Sandy Oregon made these usage swirl ice cream cones! This was so big, especially for only $6! I ended up sharing with my pups (they were very happy about that, for sure!). Definitely have to stop here any time you're near Cascade Locks! Also worth mentioning that they open early (8 am, I believe) but also close early (5 pm).

Even though the line was long on the weekend in the summer, they got our order to us pretty fast…read more It was packed, and it's difficult to get parking, but the little hut is nice. We got three ice cream cones: one regular vanilla, one vanilla with blue goo, one vanilla with raspberry. The sizes were so nice, and the flavors enhanced the vanilla flavor.

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.

Our friends highly recommended this spot so we made a point to stop here on our way into Portland…read more The scenery was beautiful surrounding the drive-in, which also has some indoor and patio seating. They have a nice big parking lot and it was free to park when we went on a Monday. There is a trail and playground nearby so it was nice to enjoy our ice cream after over there. I loved how they had coloring pages and crayons at the counter for the kids to kill some time while waiting for the food! I loved that they had some Asian inspired flavors on the menu which I was not expecting! I kept it simple with a grilled cheese which they serve on a waffle and I also added pulled pork for a small upcharge. The tomato soup pairing was so delicious and it was such a comforting meal in the foggy overcast weather. For dessert, we tried the rainbow brite seasonal sundae, which had these ripe mangoes and ube swirl inside. It was so cute with the little rainbow jellies! The vanilla soft serve itself was really good so I think I would've been happy whether it was a plain sundae or completely loaded like this one. We also tried the guava cheesecake cookie, which was huge and I loved the guava cheesecake filling. Sugarpine did not disappoint and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's a little bit outside of Portland, but definitely worth the drive for the scenery and the food!

Food: The regular price of their sundaes are about $10 but really $12 once you include the 20% tax…read more The flavors were good though. We had the Chery Colada parfait which was a vanilla with cherry and pineapple and the Once in a Blue Moon which is a blueberry ube mix. The cuban pork and boriqua bbq chicken sandwhiches were approx $18/$22 with tax and $17/$21. So you can easily spend over $100 for a family of 4 stopping for lunch. No judgement, just letting you know what to expect and you can decide if it's worth it for you. Service: Non existent in the sense that you stand in line order at a window and seat yourself if you can find a spot, your food comes up at a window, and you throw your own trash out afterwards, but they charge you 20% extra on every items. Why not just raise your prices 20% and put a sign that says no tips? I guess employees would earn more money when it's busy on a Sunday but make less when its slow? To each his own. I'm just letting you know what to expect. Ambiance: It's a walk up sanwhich and soft serve ice cream food place in a great location by the Sandy river. We came on a Sunday and it happened to be their Anniversary celebration so they had a dj and they were doing a collab with some burger place. On this day, it was either pulled pork or bbq chicken sandwhich options or the burgers and the sign said food could take as long as 55 minutes in addition to the line that was over 30-45min long. So we opted for their sundae specials for $8 and burgers because we assumed the burgers would be cooked faster while we were still in line for the ice cream. But NO! Despite no line and nothing being cooked when we ordered, the burgers weren't ready until long after we got our ice creams and finished. Burgers were actually a bargain! Only $48 for 3. So that was only $16 each. Parking was awful. Seating was not much better, we were able to find a table to share with others. I had been wanting to come here for years seeing them on IG and here on yelp but don't make it out to Troutdale very often. So I was happy to finally try them out. Unfortunately I don't know if it is always a 1-2hr commitment. I probably wouldnt make a trip just to come here, but if you are on the Sandy river next door, an ice cream to share is probably not a bad deal.
