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!

I wasn't sure about the shaved ice and ice cream combo, but my gosh, I was blown away. We tried the coffee/caramel combo which had superb coffee flavor, but the Creamsicle was our favorite with raspberry syrup. We went back four times during our three day stay. That's how amazing it was. And the owners are simply wonderful people. Happy to chat with you and eager to make your experience five stars. Crowds move quickly through and the vibes of the shop are very tropical, upbeat and welcoming. The staff were friendly and super helpful, especially since the options are overwhelming. Next time we visit Portland we will definitely be back. If you haven't tried this little shop, give it a try. Wonderful!!

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.

Does it get more local than a scoop shop in a neighborhood untouched by tourism? I just don't think…read moreit does; if you've ever used Ocean Ave to get from Forest to Washington, chances are you've seen the small white building with colorful, albeit limited signage offering up ice cream. Lived in Portland for years and never had a reason to come here when there's so many other (glamorous) options, but now living so close I just think this spot is super, duper charming. Yes, the prices are higher than at other places and I'm not entirely sure why, but this doesn't really bother me because the portions have always been enormous here, it's super convenient to where I live, there's never a wait, the staff is accommodating about wacky requests, they take credit cards, and the customer service is sometimes above and beyond what's becoming the norm downtown (I showed up once a few minutes after they had closed for the night, but they still let us order giant sundaes anyway!). They serve stuff from The Ice Cream Machine (out of Rhode Island, and distributed by Sysco) so it's not homemade or local even - I don't think it's the most delicious ice cream in the world, but it gets the job done and sometimes that's all you need (side note: their sundaes are awesome here; they know how to pour. on. the. hot. fudge!). Do I think this is a destination spot? Absolutely not. Is it ever going to make it on some national "Best of..." list that will drive hoards of people to it? Nope. Will I seek it out when I move away from the neighborhood? Can't say that I will. But is it a perfect spot for those Back Cove/The Pocket folks within walking distance? Yep. It's nice that in the state's biggest, busiest, trendiest city there are still places you can safely, quietly walk to get some ice cream with your family and enjoy it in a pristine park across the street only locals really know about.

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.

I recommend this stand especially after eating delicious Asian food from nearby
