WOW. I will be telling everyone I know immediately. What a total treat. I tried the salted maple and PB cookie. The cashew-coconut blend base is amazing. Itβs decadent for sure. And super creamy. Personally would go for a half scoop in the future even though my heart would say whole! What a treat to have GF cookies in the flavors! The cone is a bit fragile but itβs such a treat. It has a dark caramel flavor. Tell all your vegan gluten free friends. And all your restriction-free friends. This is π₯π£π€€
Words cannot express how much I love this place! Ive been a vegan for 7 years, and even though vegan ice cream is very easy to find nowadays, I cannot have cane sugar which usually means I dont get to go out for ice cream. But this place does not use cane sugar, and I also cant have gluten so this is a win-win for me and Im sure a lot of others!! Almost every flavor I have tried has been absolutely perfect! And the cones are amazing also! I would love to see you guys do milkshakes someday π 10/10!!!
I know. I was skeptical, too. I got the chocolate and my wife got a latte flavor of some sort. We ate them right up! The homemade waffle cone was also awesome. Our two year old son (albeit unsurprisingly) loved it, too! Would recommend, even if youre dairy-inclined!
Absolutely wonderful ice cream, creamy, flavorful, and rich, with the perfect portions. Everything is made from scratch, and the waffle cone was superb. The storefront is thoughtfully put together, with potted plants and herbs around, a cute bench to sit on, and a clear simple menu to choose from that made ordering easy. The menu also was straight forward in stating the dietary needs. They are 100% soy free, gluten free, with no refined sugar and vegan! Above all the service was outstanding. The employees were incredibly kind and considerate. Definitely try them out!! πβΊοΈπ π π€€
Honestly, this is the best ice cream Ive had! I got the sea salt maple flavor and the vanilla date caramel flavor and both were incredible and had such a rich and decadent texture! I love that they use such wholesome ingredients as well!
We vacationed in Maine from NY and planned to end our trip here for my dairy-allergic daughters first ever takeout ice cream cone - no sorbet, no Italian ice, no possibility of cross-contamination. Amazingly creamy and tasty vegan ice cream in fresh-made waffle cones. Friendly staff and ice cream that dairy-lovers will enjoy, as well. We will definitely go back!
Stopped by here on a whim after grabbing dinner nearby. I was pretty skeptical that someone could actually make good βice creamβ without dairy or sugar but woah was I wrong. Iβm not sure what voodoo magic goes into this but itβs quite delicious. Def recommend stopping by to taste this βice creamβ if you are in the area.
As someone who is gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant, this place is an amazing find. My family and I each had a different flavor and every flavor was truly amazing. Meyer Lemon Cheesecake and Peanut Butter Cookie were my top two. Please consider shipping your product or better yet, move/franchise in Vermont!
Very yummy all vegan and gluten free ice cream! Allergens were clearly marked on the menu, which was super cool. The gluten free cone was delicious, but with the ice cream a bit much for us. We tried the lemon cheesecake (omg), the peanut butter cookie (yum), and the mint chocolate (not my thing, but yes from my partner).
Just went here with my girlfriend and I think it might be my favorite ice cream and cone, dairy or non-dairy, gluten free or not. Delicious flavoring, creamy texture, not too sweet, and didnβt make us feel bad after. Highly recommend!
I think the spot was very nice but the ice cream was sour and was very limited. The vegan ice cream was very sweet. I advise understanding that
Delicious ice cream that both vegans and non-vegans will enjoy! Definitely worth the price and the walk just outside of the downtown area. We look forward to going back the next time we are in Portland!
I wish I could review more than once.Iβm giving Sticky Sweet another 5 βοΈ review for each visit over the past 2 years for being the worlds best ice cream!! Of course they are the best plant-based vegan ice cream, but thereβs now no doubt in my mind that itβs the best ice cream Iβve ever had.Also the sweetest people behind the counter, always smiles ready to help with flavor details and personalized suggestions.Love you Sticky Sweet β€οΈ1st review - Looks like Portland will be seeing a lot more of me!! I got two scoops tonight, one sea Salted Caramel & one Fat Vanilla Bean stuffed in a delicious, fresh, homemade waffle cone!! Such a treat having amazing, plant based ice cream so close to home. So good!! Weβll see you again soon :)
As a non-vegan/dairy free eater, this place really wasnt for me. The look and presentation scream ice cream, but the flavor and constancy do not. For those looking for good ice cream, or other frozen dairy treats, this isnt it.The Good:* Really friendly and polite staff* Good selection of flavors* Alternative to dairy.* Looks greatThe Bad:* Is not ice cream, and I cant pretend it is.* Doesnt melt (could be a positive depending on person)* The flavors didnt seem too balanced (ex: chocolate pb didnt taste much like pb)* Odd mouthfeel. Its similar to the mouthfeel of Halo Top.* Pretty expensive for what you get.The Other:* Could be bad/good depending on how you look at it, but the cone had a burnt(?) quality to it that I can only describe as being similar to slightly stale ice cream cone that came from a box you bought about 4 months ago. I found the taste really nostalgic but others did not.This place definitely fits into a great niche here and Portland, and I hope it does well. I just prefer a different dessert than this.
This dairy-free, gluten-free, shop takes it to the next level. Their flavors are divine. They even have homemade, gluten-free, waffle cones too!
I scream you scream we all scream for Vegan AND gluten free gourmet ice cream! I got the salted caramel in a cone and I was not screaming because I was too busy sighing with joy!
Delicious ice cream. I had the sea salted maple and it was great.
Really great vegan ice cream! The server was so nice and it looks like a great place! I just wish the portions were bigger - for two half scoops at $6 the servings are just too small
So glad I found this place, upstairs at the public market building an open 7 days/week! (11-5 weekends) I had been craving Mango Sticky Rice for weeks. This version is a gorgeous, healthy Maine version. WOW. Tastier than any Ive had in a Thai restaurant! They also have Blueberry or Banana versions. The lovely woman at the counter let me try all 5 flavors of their new Coconut/Cashew Ice Cream: Maine Maple Seasalt, Blueberry Velvet, Strawberry Jam, Cocoa Pudding and newest Latte with Speckled Axe coffee! All utterly creamy and rich, flavorful and delicious!
OMG, what a great corner ice cream shop!! This is a must visit stop. The flavors are fabulous. From the Sea Salt Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Lemon Cheescake to the Snickerdoodle, love them all. I could do a scoop a night! Best seen to date!!
Incredible ice cream! Not too sweet, the flavors are unique and the homemade cones are amazing
Great vegan ice cream. Very rich!
Vegan ice cream better than ice cream made with the finest cream!
The best vegan ice cream! My favorite flavor is the lemon cheesecake!
The ice cream was to die for! The dates and coconut sugar lended wonderful caramel notes to the maple and cinnamon cookie flavors that I tried. The cinnamon cookie had large pieces of cookies, which normally I would be over the moon about, but in a a half scoop I felt like i got more cookie than ice cream.My only complaint it the price. I understand that this ice cream is made with premium ingredients, but for two half-scoops to be $6 when a pint is $12 doesnt seem to add up to me as the half scoops I got combined could not have been more than 1/5th of a pint. Would have just gotten a pint, but place I was staying didnt have a freezerI would definitely go back, but wish that the price could allow for it to be a more regular stop when Im in the area, or for others who lack access to a freezer.
Amazing creamy, vegan icecream. My kids loved it too. The vegan waffle cones are not to be missed! We will be back soon.
Sticky sweet is amazing and their cones are incredible. Quite filling, too!
Better than most non vegan ice cream
All the ice creams are vegan!!! The Creamsicle flavor is super creamy and citrus-y and the sugar cone it came in was the best Id ever had!!
Ive had MANY vegan ice creams, and this beats every one of them hands down! Im gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free. I also believe in shopping responsibly (pro environment, social justice, local, etc.) So Sticky Sweet effortlessly ticks ALL the boxes! Compostable cups and wooden spoons. Very supportive of local, and actively promote racial quality on social. These sisters are amazing, and Im so happy they are being met with such success. (Plus they are amazingly kind and have always treated us like dear friends even though weve only been in 3 times so far.)Now, the ice cream...HOLY WOW! Wonderful rotation of incredibly delicious and unique flavors (Butter Pecan Praline, and Chocolate Cream Pie blew my socks off last night - LOVED the cookie bits!) The cashew blended with coconut base gives it a creamy depth I havent tasted in any other vegan ice creams. And the homemade waffle cones could be made into wafers and Id eat them all day long (good thing they arent.) Im not big into desserts, so some flavors are a tad sweet for me, but others are just right. Meaning, I think anyone can find their perfect flavor here.The prices are simple and truly reflective of quality: $5 per scoop (1/2 cup), $3 mini (1/4 cup), $1 waffle cone.As others have mentioned: Get there early as some flavors (or all) will sell out!
These people are the best, and it is truly the best (vegan) ice cream I have ever had. We make a point to get it whenever we can. Love them forever!!!!
Best vegan ice cream weve ever had!
This is my favorite fresh waffle cone& ice cream place in Portland! Not only it is locally made and delicious, but is gluten free and vegan as well. The owners are wonderful and their product is amazing!
Tastes like dairy contains NO DAIRY so good π will be coming back again!
Pro Tip:Get there early! Those looking to snag some scoops towards the tail end of their store hours may be disappointed to find none left.Taste:Hard to tell that the ice cream is vegan/gluten free/plant based. The ice cream was creamy, decadent, and flavorful. My mom and I split a scoop of the Very Vanilla and the Cool Mint Cookie flavors and both were incredible. The Cool Mint Cookie had huge chunks of cookie in it!Bottom Line:Highly recommend for all eaters, for those who eat a gluten free or vegan diet and those who eat anything given on a plate/cup/cone.Edit:Went again and picked up Pineapple Cheesecake on a cone when I donβt really love pineapple or cheesecake and was blown away by the texture and flavor once more. Had huge chunks of βcheesecakeβ in it!
This is hands down THE BEST vegan ice cream!!Superior taste of handmade fresh ingredients. They even had their own mint growing out front for their mint chunky flavor. Very creamy!
So friendly, great flavors!!
Best vegan ice cream I have ever had! Hands down! The cones are literally to die for. I couldnt even tell that it was vegan ice cream and Im not vegan, thats how you know. Will be coming back here time and time again!
This is the creamiest ice cream I have ever had. The mint chucky chip isnβt dyed any freaky green color and it tastes amazing. The cones are melt in your mouth crispy. 10/10. Please go they are so nice.
Truly the BEST vegan ice cream I have ever had!! So rich and creamy and delicious. My husband and I are obsessed and cant wait to go back!
I took my 4 year old here and we both absolutely loved it. Its hard being a non-dairy eater in this world and wanting a fresh, real-tasting ice cream and this place nails it. Every flavor I tasted was outstanding. Kelly was really sweet and helpful. Well be coming here all summer. My only wish is that itd be open every day in the winter too!
Amazing ice-cream from scratch. Doesnβt taste like vegan, thatβs how good it is! The banana peanut butter cookie ice-cream was DELICIOUS!
Being no stranger to plant-based ice cream, we knew we had to give Sticky Sweet a try (even in 13Β° weather). Kelly was so sweet and let us try anything we wanted. We were so impressed by the flavor each ice cream packs with extremely minimal coconut taste, which sometimes feels hard to find in this market! The sea salt maple was perfect. You can tell the ice cream here is made with love!
The ice cream is astoundingly good. Not for a vegan spot, but if weβre going to focus on that aspect, itβs out of this world great. Like Tony the Tiger great! The waffle cones are next level, especially when theyβre hot off the press. Hereβs the thing, most vegan spots can get away with a very good coconut milk based profile.The main problem is most of the flavor is coconut which can be a problem if you donβt like coconut. But this spot has a interesting blend on each of their flavors.Nothing can be pinned down on what alt milk choice they made. Itβs just so creamy and so delicious. We didnβt even mean to go here, we just happened to be around the corner and we searched for ice cream and it was the closest place. Iβm so glad we stopped in.
Couldnt believe how delicious the ice-creams were without any overpowering vegan coconut taste. Everything is 100% homemade even the cones and the cookies within the ice cream. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Portland for sure.
Visiting Maine from Pennsylvania, discovered this amazing gem. Having to be gluten free because of celiac.... this was heaven. A gluten free waffle cone that was filled with a delicious peanut butter brownie ice cream. Something I havent enjoyed in years!! Just heavenly sweet! Amazing place!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10! The best vegan ice-cream I have ever had- hand churned, dairy-free, and delicious! They have unique flavors like sea salted maple as well as yummy gluten free waffle cones made in-house. The shop is very clean and the owners are two amazing sisters who care deeply about their customers and products!
Kelly, if there were a way to give you 10 stars, I would ! You make delicious plant based icecream and you so sweet. Thank you for remembering us
Its pretty good! Typically, I dont like excessive coconut flavor in my ice cream because it overpowers all the other flavors. The kinds we tried both had this issue. I recommend ordering anything with a more robust flavor or something that compliments coconut well. I do appreciate vegan waffle cones deeply though. Definitely pricey, but a vegan ice cream joint is hard to find in Portland.
So good! The best cone Ive had ever in my life.And the 2 ladies running the place are soooo nice.Stop by and get something sweet!
Dairy free & gluten free, plant based ice cream shop right down the street from me is a dream but also dangerous. This hot new spot is really going to take off! The fact that I could have a waffle cone was amazing since Im GF its usually an impossible thing! Very grateful for this place π
Excellent vegan ice cream and the fresh made waffle cones are the icing on the cake. Sooo good!
GLUTEN FREE ICE CREAM AND WAFFLE CONES π€€π€€π€€ Decadent, creamy and vegan.
I dont need to be vegan because I do not have food allergies...but I think this place made me a vegan! Thank you for the delicious treat, a great way to top off our night! We will be back multiple times!
First time having non-dairy ice cream, tasted amazing
This is some of the best ice cream Ive had, period. Such an inviting space with the friendliest owners. I cannot recommend this place more highly!
Loved them from the kick-start & still do! The flavors are incredible, all homemade & dairy-free AND gluten-free, as are the waffle cones!
Friendly owner!!! Absolutely delicious plant based, whole food nice cream treats! The waffle cones are amazing!!!! Definitely will return!
Check out this delightful place for a dessert/snack. They serve 3 types of sweet Thai sticky rice with fruit and sweetened coconut milk. It is DELICIOUS. In no time at all, Im positive that this place will become the talk of the town. My husband and I ate there 3 times on our vacation. Could not get enough of it.
SO SUPER DELICIOUS! π
Delicious ice cream, and gorgeous owners! Definitely a must if your even near Portland.
Plant based, vegan, gluten free and dairy free ice cream. Delicious! Great, friendly service.
Really sweet staff, cute store, and absolutely delicious ice cream! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice scoop of vegan ice cream!
We tried both the blueberry sticky rice (a very unique and delicious treat!) and the non-dairy ice cream! So so good!!! And the service was quick, friendly, and helpful!
Best handmade non-dairy ice cream Ive ever had! This place is adorable!
Pretty place, deliciously smooth desserts, environmental pioneers, worth the walk and your support.
Always so tasty and theyre so nice, best ice cream in town!
Insanely good ice cream!! Also the nicest staff ever!
Delicious plant based ice cream! Check out their new scoop shop in Portland
AMAZING ice cream shop run by the sweetest people ever.
Great place. Great tasting and delicious!
We really enjoyed both the blueberry and the mango versions. The person running it was very nice.
Loved the warm taste and the experience. Its not too overwhelmingly sweet, just right for a snowy day
Wide selection of soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Also shared the building with a bakery of sorts
Delicious. Awesome blueberry with sticky rice
I was unsure about sticky rice as a desert but it was surprisingly good and the service was very friendly as well
Best place around!!!!!
