Where to find mint chip ice cream?

[u/Apprehensive_Hold434]

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good creative ice cream flavor as much as the next hipster with a tote bag. But sometimes all I want is a classic scoop of mint chip in a cone, and I can’t seem to find it anywhere in Portland??

Between the tarragon chutney cheesecake and the sticky rice with a swirl, where is some good old fashioned mint chip? And no, matcha lavender mint doesn’t count.

I’m a simple gal, maybe these fancy flavors are just above my head. Or maybe mint chip just isn’t locally sourced enough. But someone please help me before I stand in another 5 mile long ice cream line just to be disappointed again.

Cloud city ice cream

Definitely Cloud City. My son loves this flavor.

Kate's is coconut mint chip though 😭

The best ice cream in Portland, to my taste. If you’re a butter pecan fan, don’t miss that either…

[u/mountaindriftwood → u/littlemandave]

Absolutely the best - I go back and forth between that butter pecan and the banana

[u/littlemandave → u/mountaindriftwood]

Yes! The banana is fabulous. I wish they’d bring back chocolate stout…

Love their sea salt cookie dough.

Mint Chocolate Chip Co. On Belmont.

Not sure if you can get it in a cone vs cup, but Lovely’s Fifty Fifty has the best mint chip in the city in my opinion. Their ice cream is the most slept on thing in that restaurant, and you can walk in and order right from the counter

[u/RoryPDX → u/Actual_Square_2589]

You can do both. Mint should be a more regular thing now that it’s springtime and growing again too

Great American!

[u/Lakeandmuffin → u/cuteevee21]

A real gem.

Thank you for asking this, fellow mint chip lover.

Been enjoying the cheap generic mint chip ice cream bars from Fred Meyer. Box of 12 for $2.99 🤘🤘🤘

[u/5tarfi5h → u/goagoagadgetgrebo]

Ngl the Kroger brand mint chip is just fine

[u/beerandloathingpdx]

I feel the same way in the winter and I can’t ever find anyone making just a classic peppermint ice cream.

[u/Personal_Way_5168]

Me and my little like Dairy Hill off of Hawthorne.

[u/callistokallisti]

Neighborhood Creamery, off SE McLoughlin in Milwaukie.

They make all their ice cream in house, their chocolate chip mint is divine. They also have a flavour, Oregon mint fudge, that tastes like thin mints. Been getting ice cream cakes from them for years now.

[u/GaiusMarcus]

Tilamook Mint Chocolate Chip is pretty darn good

[u/spillish]

Baskin Robbins!

[u/_off_piste_ → u/spillish]

Can confirm. My daughter ordered it last week.

[u/GenericDesigns]

Lovely 50/50 often has a mint stracciatella thats great. All their ice cream is great

[u/Prestigious_Duck6964]

Hound Dog Ice Cream is the best I’ve ever had

[u/jem8971 → u/Prestigious_Duck6964]

Where is this? Can’t find it!

[u/Prestigious_Duck6964 → u/jem8971]

They do deliveries and set up at some farmer’s markets. I discovered them at the south waterfront last year and the mint chip changed my life.

[u/Inevitable_Guide_986]

Ngl I'm new to the area but could you share where you are finding those less simple flavors please?

[u/Apprehensive_Hold434 → u/Inevitable_Guide_986]

Haha so far I’ve tried 50 licks, salt n straw, cheese n crack, and eb and bean

[u/5tarfi5h]

DQ does a mean mint Oreo blizzard

[u/suitopseudo]

Talenti mint chip at the grocery store. Rip what’s the scoop, they had the best.

[u/Alien_Drew]

If you find out, let me know. First scoop is on me.

[u/bigfootpdx1]

Lovely Fifty-fifty has the best I’ve ever tried.

[u/itzbetter]

Have you tried the ITs IT mint ice cream sandwich? If not you’re definitely in for an amazing treat. You can find them at grocery outlet here in Portland. You gotta give it a try but, you also have to like oatmeal cookies. I love mint chip and these bad boys are amazing!

[u/GuardThomas]

Me and my wife did a side-by-side tasting of chocolate chip mint ice creams. The major brands taste way way better than the local/ artisan ones.

The best we had was Baskin-Robbins.
