Friends & Co Ice Cream — Restaurant in North Bend

Friends and Co Ice Cream in North Bend is the real deal.

Tons of flavor options, incredible quality, and a vibe that makes you want to hang out and stay awhile. It’s easily the best ice cream in the area.

Or maybe these retailers could just get real. I'm just not that desperate for ice cream. You've priced out the middle...

The ice cream is rich and creamy, with a wide selection of flavors - everything from the classics to local fruit favorites to nostalgic childhood tastes! My favorites have been the seasonal creations - lavender honey, mountain huckleberry, and more! I had a scoop of the Yakima Peach last month and I’m still thinking about how good it was! This place will be slightly pricier than your average ice cream shop, but it’s worth it for the locally made, high-quality desserts and...
