Absolutely love their icecream! Their chickpea icecream is creamy and flavorful. Lots of unique flavors. My favorite is the chocolate and has a super great consistency similar to real ice cream. The cookies and cream wasn’t as good but still very tasteful. The chocolate chickpea waffle cone was nice and crunchy. Finally, the staff are super kind and nice! Offered many samples and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back

Superb non-dairy ice cream with a really creamy mouthfeel!The ice cream appeared a bit crumbly, however, that is an illusion, as it turned out to be a rich and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. I also particularly enjoyed the peach lavender, a combination I’d never seen before, but one that worked really well.

Its been YEARS since Ive been able to walk into an ice cream shop and get whatever I wanted and I was able to experience that again. And it is SO good. My favorites are matcha mint and coffee- the blackberry basil was also phenomenal. I loved the cones!

This is the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever tasted! It’s as good as the real thing and doesn’t have that weird taste some other dairy-free ice creams have. All of their flavors look so delicious I wish I could have tried them all! The Cookies and cream and cinnamon granola were delicious as well as the chocolate and coffee. They also had so many gluten free baked goods and cones! Would definitely recommend this place!

I was admittedly skeptical, but came away impressed. Ice cream made from chickpeas tastes just like milk, albeit it does lack a certain creaminess. I got an orange caramel scoop which tasted much like creamsicles of my youth. Its a great place for vegan folks on a hot day.

Their triple chocolate, and Cold brew ice cream are amazing! 🍨The waffle cone is so freaking good! And its gluten free!🍦 😁

This place is amazing. I still cant believe the ice cream is mad of chickpeas; I wouldnt be able to tell it from regular ice cream. They have a lot of unique flavors, and Ill definitely have to come back to try them all.

Surprisingly delicious chickpea “ice cream” - highly recommend the coffee flavor (blackberry basil was a bit much for me personally). Chickpea waffle cone was also good - noticeably crunchy and a bit thinner than a typical waffle cone. It was also available in chocolate. I’d consider coming back, but $6 was a bit steep for one scoop in a cone... Interesting and new to try out, though!Update: stopped by again for the chocolate... very good but still pricey!

Wow, the ice cream is amazing, the waffle cone is even better. Ate mine so fast I only got a picture of my friends. Staff saw super friendly and they had a great looking pastry section. We also took home a delicious loaf of sesame bread.

Excellent food, vegan and gluten free options. We eat there all the time. Very allergen/diet friendly.

Give chickpeas a chance. You wont regret it!

This place is great! Their chocolate ice cream tastes so good, creamy and not super sweet like store-bought vegan ice cream. We also got matcha and cookies and cream flavor, yummmm! Its on the pricier side, but I totally get that, the scoops are big and the experience of eating a cruelty free treat is definitely worth it!

Absolutely impressed! Beautiful space, some vegan pastries, and the ice cream was insane. Didn’t expect it to be as great as it was. Will be here quite regularly, I’m sure.

Great alternative for gluten free or lactose intolerant people. Came here for a friend who wanted to try and was impressed!My favorite was the Orange Carmel, tasted really close to an Orange creamsicle. The waffle cones are a little thinner and crispier than a regular one, but had great taste.Slight aftertaste on a couple of ice creams, nothing overpowering or bad, just a little different.The chocolate chip and sea salt cookie had good flavor. A little chewier than a regular one, but still really good!Great place and great alternative to milk and gluten!

Delicious! You cant even tell everything is made of chickpeas. The highlight for me personally was gluten free waffle cones. I havent been able to eat a cone in over a year and so I was beyond excited to try it. It was delicious and paired well with my ice cream. The store itself looked homely and modern, a cute date spot for sure. Take your next tinder date here 😉

Its amazing how delicious something can be made with chickpeas! We got cold brew ice cream in a cup and cookies and cream in a chocolate cone - so delish! Also got a loaf of sesame bread for home! Also yum!

Wow! Saying it was delicious is an understatement! I bought 4 pints because it was so good, and I wanted to have some for the rest of my vacation! I am from TN and would be thrilled if this was in stores near me!!! You guys have truly changed the dairy free industry with ice cream! With non-dairy options like this, I don’t miss real dairy! Thank you so much for such a delicious treat!!!I also really appreciated the chef who came and chatted with me about the ingredients. She was helpful and honestly interested in answering my questions. She went out of the way to look up ingredients and nutrition. She was very transparent about their process of making the ice cream!

Good ice cream. My kid didnt complain or notice anything different. He just gobbled it up. Good stuff. I also sampled some of their breads. Regular bread is better... Still 5 stars for the option.

Wonderful non-dairy ice cream made from chickpeas. I tried a split scoop of Szechuan Strawberry with Lemon Ginger - a little spicy and a little tart. So good! Their baked goods (I tried the Fennel & Fig cookie) were delicious and are gluten-free and vegan and are also made with chickpeas. The shop is in the Pearl and had a great vibe.

If you are a vegan human, then you will like this place. If you are a dog who likes treats, then you will like this place. Got a special good girl treat, but I hear they may have these on hand for all dogs. My human has problems with dairy and liked the alternative choice. 🍦 Will be back again!

Unbelievably good. The body waggle cones Ive ever had, and theyre gluten free! The matcha mint is out of this world.

Very tasty, tastes exactly like ice cream - no hint of chickpeas at all. highly recommend the cinnamon granola, it was incredible

Great flavors and tastes so similar to ice cream!Only downside is that the website is not kept up to date with the flavors being offered.Would have come by more often if I had known about these flavor changes.

Pretty cool place, you dont really think about the fact that its made from chickpeas, it tastes great!

Really great frozen dessert! Creamy for a chickpea ice cream.Mostly plant-based menu, really wish it was entirely vegan.

I was honestly doubtful as a lot of non-dairy ice creams lack something but i couldnt tell the difference! And my friends who have allergies and intolerences to things like corn, wheat, dairy, and nuts were over the moon withthe ice cream and pastries and coffee!! super allergy friendly place and the staff are lovely!

Cannot believe that something that is not ice cream, tastes like ice cream. So good to have a non-dairy frozen dessert with such an array of fabulous flavors.

Ice cream was delicious! I cant wait to go back and try out their toast options!

Great selection of gluten, vegan, and dairy free products including really good ice cream. Top notch quality with everything they make.

A most excellent non diary bakery / ice creamery

The best ice cream ever in my opinion better then normal ice cream. It tastes exactly like ice cream the cones are amazing the cinnamon granola is really good.

Tasty and friendly snack shop. Good selection of baked goods though Id prefer they all had ingredient lists (they say to ask the bakers).Ice cream is delicious and youd never guess it was chickpea based. Coffee and tea are great and service has always been fast and friendly.

I visited Little Bean today with my friend. Ive been curious about the place since riding by multiple times on bike tours and Im glad I went in to try their stuff. Nicki was super helpful to my friend and I with trying flavors and chatting about the different qualities of ice cream.The vegan ice cream was superb, and I was quite happy to have a gluten free waffle cone, something I havent found a good replacement for since giving up gluten. Chickpea ice cream is an excellent idea, I got the triple chocolate on a chocolate cone, it was delicious. I will recommend this to my friends.

Portland has a lot of fun and unique places to get ice cream and Little Bean is absolutely no exception. Fun flavors can be found here and I would definitely recommend putting them in the chocolate waffle cone.They also serve coffee, tea, and fresh bread baked on site! Dont forget to try the free bread samples. Also, the ice cream is made from chickpeas (garbanzo beans). It sounds odd and tastes way better.

Their Not Ice Cream was so good?? Like, its made out of chickpeas, but theyre szechuan strawberry was better than normal strawberry ice cream. Excellent quality. They let me taste three separate flavors and said that it was completely normal. Im not vegan, dairy or gluten free, or anything like that, but I would go again because dang, objectively their Not Ice Cream was very good.

I love this place. They have the best home made products from bread to ice cream. Its all gluten and dairy free. I the chickpea ice cream is awesome. Try the coffee cold brew with the orange !

I tried the orange caramel flavor with a waffle cone. Truly delightful!

Amazing Dairy Free and Gluten free everything! I also feel amazing after eating anything at Little Bean. Normally I get crazy blood sugar hang over from treats!If the white chocolate flavor had cookie dough chunks in it and the nutritional facts were available on everything my life would be complete :)

Great allergy neutral place. Gluten free and dairy free everything. Its not exactly my cup of tea, but my fiance loved it and we had a good time talking with the servers. The ice cream... chickpeas tasted great and they have a good selection of flavors.

Just opened today (Apr 1)They have:-- Vegan ice cream made from chickpeas.-- Coffee drinks made with chickpea milk. -- Pastries, mostly made with eggs.-- Sandwiches, most of which are vegan.Im disappointed they arent 100% vegan and that 80% of the pastries use egg. So close... They are, however, gluten free, nut free, dairy free, and soy free.Im not a fan of the vegan pastries or the coffee drinks. But the sandwiches are great and the ice cream is pretty good.

OMFG!!! Best ice cream for vegan I had banana curry and mint matcha scoop wow!!!! Thank you so much for making it

I had a scoop of Cherry Chai. Its my first time trying chickpeas based ice cream. It was full of flavor and very creamy. They also have espresso drinks, breads and pasties.

The best dairy free ice cream I have ever had.

Ice cream was amazing, cant wait to go again. The sandwich cookie was decent, esp for gluten free but doesnt compare to the amazing ice cream. Next time I plan to try the savory bread because the pumpernickel sample I had was so good

Not bad - it was tasty enough for a 7-year old to think it was ice cream. When after we explained it was from chickpeas, she didn’t believe us. For the adults, the only complaint is that it was a bit flaky and overly sweet, but I imagine that’s a necessary trade off for being dairy-free. The flavor combinations, although limited to 8, were very good. The cherry chai was tasty.

Chickpeas ice cream😋

Chickpea ice cream is actually much better than it sounds. The taste is there, the texture takes a little getting used to, but once you do, its great. A little pricy, but what do you expect? Its a trendy chickpea ice cream place.

Daniel was so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable! He helped us choose the perfect cookie and ice creamcombo for our needs. We’ll definitely be back!

Great concept, good service, cute place but chick pea ice cream is just not for me. I guess this is an acquired taste. They allow you to try their flavors so take advantage of it before you spend $5 for a scoop of ice cream.

Super nice vibe! Happened to walk by and stop in and I gotta say, I love the environment and open floor plan. We got some coffee and baked goods and as a bakers daughter, they definitely get my stamp of approval.

A lovely ice cream place! Yes its vegan, but it taste just like your ol favourite dairy ice cream. They have a great selection of flavours, with some that are more adventurous. I highly recommend this place!

Hard to believe ice “cream” can be both vegan + gluten free and still be this good. While not exactly the same as the original (eg ice cream), it comes quite close. Super friendly staff, who know how to spoil your furry friend as well.

Got the triple chocolate. The ice cream has a grayish tint and is crumbly - very unappetizing. Flavor was OK, though beats me where the triple comes in. $4.75 per scoop + $1.5 for a cone are outrageous, especially when considering the cheap ingredient - chickpeas - they are based on.If there was high quality chocolate or cocoa used it was well hidden.Location, decor, service; nothing to write home about.Would not go back if you paid me.

The ice cream here is dairy-free and made from checkpeas (garbanzo beans), and it is delicious! If I didnt know otherwise, Id never guess that this ice cream was dairy-free because the texture is spot-on. I tried the blackberry Basil and the strawberry, and both had a good, fresh flavor.

Who knew vegan ice cream could taste so good? Nice airy space, and the cherry chai was very good. My partner swore the lemon ginger was fabulous, as was my mothers coffee ice cream.Worth a visit.

Excellent chickpea based ice cream and the baked goods as well.

This is very Portland. For folks reading from the UK, its very Shoreditch.Its a nice place. Every one had a smile on their face and made you feel welcome.Seemed quite busy, always a good sign.I would go back.

The flavors of ice cream were amazing and so creative. Id never had anything like Cherry Chai before but I will again. Consistency, flavor, melting speed and texture were so good if I hadnt know it wasnt actually ice cream, I would not have figured it out. Well Done LITTLE BEAN.

Their ice cream is great! Its even more surprising when you learn its made from chick peas. Highly recommend popping in for a quick snack.

Good try. Milk is definitely too thick/pulped for coffee, needed a fork to drink . Ice cream are good, but wish the flavors were a bit more simple. Definitely want to support this.

Always a gamble going somewhere on their first day, however, I put my money on bean and won! My wife has had me stalking their instagram in anticipation of opening day and they finally made it happen today! Weve had samples from their cart at various times prior to opening and knew how delicious the ice c̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ was going to be. We also tried the carrot tarragon bread and it was on point! For being made with leftover garbanzo bean stuffs, the texture was very breadlike. Maybe better than bread? Airy, crispy, soft, and fluffy all at the same time. Its great to have another gluten free sweet spot for all those GFers out there. Thanks Little Bean! See you again!

My family has fallen in love with Little Bean. Everything is gluten-free and dairy free and tastes AMAZING! Staff is friendly and the ambiance is perfect. Little Bean has been the best way to begin summer.

Ice cream made from chick peas. It approximates the taste and texture fairly well. The most important thing is that, they have some unique flavor combos and it tastes great!

Really creamy chickpea ice cream sans cream. Strawberry schezwan and cold brew are my favorite flavors. The coffee is well made and the chickpea milk is the best dairy alternative I have tried. Im going to visit again to try their toast with chickpea butter.

The flavors currently for purchase are bold. I would recommend trying before buying. I hope to see additional flavors at my next visit. Raspberry Basil was my choice after passing on the lemon.

Formerly known as Little Bean. The BEST vegan ice cream, hands down. Their cookies are also incredible. Plus, vegan waffle cones!? Come on.

Blew my expectations out of the water, as well as those of my friends (which included a (generally anti-plant-based-ice-cream) skeptic. Their waffle cones are awesome, too!

Eatable. Crumbly. Aftertaste. Overpriced. Sad. Disappointed. Uncomfortable. Unfriendly.I will say that I was able to eat the frozen bean dessert. I have been excited about trying this place as soon as I heard of the concept. Today was my brothers birthday and he is a vegan we were excited to try this new dessert presented as ice cream.I would suggest if anyone is going to eat this frozen bean thing that looks like ice cream do not eat it out of a cone. The frozen bean stuff falls apart while you try to eat it you definitely need a spoon.All of the flavors need to work. Even the plain coffee flavor taste like you used instant coffee. Which leaves a very odd aftertaste. For that matter every flavor I tried had a very odd aftertaste.I think the “employees” must be indentured to the owners because they were the saddest people out side of a funeral home.By the wayITS NOT ICE CREAMlol

This place is amazing!! Im usually a chocolate person but I couldnt say no to the cherry chai. Also loved the szechuan strawberry and the matcha mint. Unique and amazing flavors and the cones were tasty too. Only disappointment was that the baked goods were not all vegan as well. Overall highly recommend

Awesome place. GF/vegan chickpea ice cream that is extremely good. The coffee and strawberry flavors are great. Love it!

The ice cream is surprisingly good and creamy. I will definitely be back for more. Looking forward to trying their baked goods. Delicious!

The chickpea ice cream here is delicious! I especially love the coffee flavour.

Not a fan of the chickpea ice cream, it has a weird cake-y texture when its melting that isnt great. Their flavors are also kind of meh even though they have interesting names. After trying a few we ended up going with triple chocolate which was just plain ol chocolate.

OMFG

Chickpea based nice cream! Alternative for those with nut or dairy allergies! A variety of baked gluten free breads & treats!! 2 different waffle cones too!!

Vegan, dairy free and gluten free. I had the blackberry basil and cherry chai ice cream. Both were fantastic. I also had the waffle cone along with some cookies. Highly recommend.

Its great ice cream, but its definitely not the real stuff (which I prefer it not to be). Great flavors, no frills, great decor.

AMAZING!! 10/10. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THE MATCHA WAS SO GOOD.

Really cool spot with lots of amazing, allergy friendly options! They also have WiFi and coffee so a great place to stop and grind out some work :)

Amazing vegan ice cream and waffle cones. Really cool open space as well.

Not my kind of place, but Im sure there is a market for it in Portland. If Im in the mood for ice cream, I like the real deal. Flavors are a little too funky for me..

Yum yum! The ice cream is good and has the consistency of something between ice cream and sorbet. The flavors are all really unique and the vibe is chill! Yay chickpeas!

(-) Cookies we tried were not good. Very gummy - its like a gingerbread molasses cookie that went bad and half stale. Horrible texture and flavor. (-) Coffee and chai latte had really off flavor - likely because chickpea cream was used. It tasted like egg whites. Ice cream - which was more like sorbet - was good actually although borderline too sweet. (-) Service was typical Portland I dont care attitude. (+) The shop/store was very nice and spacious, very clean. We wont come back though, but we also may not be the target audience for the establishment.

The ice cream has amazing texture, you could be fooled its the dairy filled stuff. Bread is great, and baked good are on par with the gluten filled stuff.

Celiac, amazing icecream and chickpea waffle cone. I cannot upload picture due to eating so fast. Everything here is amazing!

Ice cream, sweets and savories were all delicious! The best non dairy ice cream Ive ever tasted, & creative flavors.

Ice cream flavors are god and interesting. This is a good alternative to dairy icecream. First time going and staff was friendly.

It’s pretty good, and it’s different from ice cream but also similar, the flavors are great, definitely recommend the strawberry or the chai.

Delicious vegan, gluten-free ice cream and waffle cones! A must try when youre in Portland. 🍦

Loved it. I got the cherry chai and a ginger cookie, and was not disappointed. Will be returning here often.

A gem in the Pearl. Fantastic ice cream taste and selection. The bread topping selection is very good.

Incredible that it is so good! My new favorite ice cream place.

Being lactose intolerant I was happy to hear about an ice cream alternative. Thus far, Little Bean has impressed me! Their szechuan strawberry flavor is really good!! Friendly staff too!

Great gluten free options. Ice cream was really good

Best non dairy ice cream Ive ever had. Cold brew ice cream+ maple ice cream=amazeballs

Delicious icecream even when compared to non vegan options.

Really yummy! I got the chocolate and coffee flavor.Awesome alternative!

Love this place! Delicious and great service.

Four stars for service and setting but the taste is unusual. Cant get used to it.

Best ice cream I had in Portland. It was still pretty bad though and had a distinct taste of Hummus that doesn’t behoove an ice cream flavor.Portland just doesn’t know ice cream.
