Okay, it's beastly hot out, and my kids basically insist on ice cream daily in weather like this.
I'm weak, and prone to giving in. But... I don't want just the same old thing. I'm sick of Prince Puckler's, I've had it with overpriced MoC gelato, I'm not a fan of the big chain places (like Coldstone)...
Surprise me. Help me find an ice cream place that's both delicious and off the beaten path.
Wait, there's an ice cream place there? You're talking about the Radar Toys next to Cookies, Cookies and the T-Mobile spot in that strip mall, right? Where the heck is the ice cream place?
There's a Salt and Straw by oakway. I'd give that a shot if you haven't been. They have some weird flavors, but I recommend tasting as many as you want to find one you like.
Another favorite of mine is Euphoria Chocolate's ice cream bars. Chocolate dipped ice cream + peanuts is delicious.
As for store-bought, I really like Alden's (their mint chocolate chip is what I eat at home)
Dari mart has good lochmead ice cream for $1 for a small cup. Great for easy kid pleasers. Handel’s is alright, but I still like Prince Puckler’s for the localness. I thought Handel’s was from PDX, but it’s actually from Ohio.
