Reviews
Not a fan of plant-based anything but Kate's ice cream is amazing. I went with two friends and none of us had had plant-based ice cream like this before. The person attending to us gave each of them two different samples of their choice when we told her it was our first time. The ice cream was creamy and delicious, totally worth it. My cup was empty before I remembered reviews was a thing and that's an excellent thing.
Update: It was good so I went back. Remembered to take pictures this time. Four different flavours. The Rose flavored one was excellent if you like roses- thought it was weird but a good weird.
Amazing ice cream and super cute space! Love Kate’s vegan ice cream. It’s so creamy and wonderful, I’m used to dairy free ice cream being crusty and dense. Kate’s is fluffy and smooth, absolutely impressive. There are a ton of flavors both signature and seasonal. Wonderful selection compared to what I’m used to. It isn’t just fruit sorbets, my favorite was peanut butter brittle. Love Kates!
Java Chip and Cookie Monster flavors were darn delish. I had my first ever vegan waffle cone! It was amazing! Thank you for making this an all vegan ice cream shop!
I hope someday they expand to the Bay Area. I've never been to a better vegan ice cream shop. Kate's Ice Cream is so great, and everything is gluten-free! The Rosewater Cardamom Almond flavor is definitely my new favorite ice cream flavor of all time. I also tried the Pistachio flavor and the Marionberry Cobbler. Both were fantastic. The gluten-free waffle cone was super satisfying. They even have gluten-free fudge brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
Never have I ever been able to come into an ice cream shop and be able to choose from ALL the flavors. The fact that everything they offer is plant-based is so very exciting and equally overwhelming when you’ve never lived anywhere that has an ice cream shop like this.
They let me try as many samples as I wanted. I ended up going with the split scoop (brilliant concept btw) and did the Triple Chocolate Brownie and Marionberry Cobbler in a waffle cone.

As ice cream shops go this place is pretty darn cool. As vegan shops go this place is a dream. Everything here is plant-based so that made it real special when I took my son here and he said "I can have anything?" He was so excited and I was like a highlight of the trip. Portland is now a mega concentrated vegan mecca. This is one of those offerings that you should check out if you're into sweet desserts. I am presently on another fat phase I indulged. We had a ice cream cake that we took home and enjoyed with the family. That thing was amazing
This place is up there with Frankie & Jo's in Seattle for me - excellent quality and love the flavors. My husband and I both picked the same two flavors at Kate's: Pistachio and Peanut Butter Brickle. I had mine in a cup, while he had a cone. The ice cream was rich and flavorful, and we want to try more of their flavors. They allowed our dog inside, although we ended up sitting on a bench on the sidewalk to eat.
Our family had the absolute best experience working with Kate and her team to host a 5th birthday in the ice cream shop. They were helpful, flexible and so much fun to work with. The party package makes everything so easy and the space is beautifully designed. I would highly recommend booking a party here right away or just stopping by for the delicious ice cream.
