Ramblin' Rose Vegan Ice Cream Truck — Restaurant in Portland

Five stars for incredible ice cream and an even more incredible heart behind it!

Mary is magical, and has elevated vegan ice cream into something truly extraordinary. As someone who follows a vegan, soy-free, and gluten-free lifestyle, finding frozen treats that don't compromise on flavor or texture has always been a challenge—until I discovered Mary's incredible creations.

Her ice cream is hands down the best I've ever tasted, plant-based or otherwise.

In a culture where dietary restrictions can often feel limiting, Mary has created something that feels abundantly generous. She's not just serving ice cream; she's creating moments of pure happiness for people who might otherwise miss out on these simple pleasures.

Ice cream looks great, but you might want to call ahead to make sure they’re open! Especially if...

WOW. What a hidden gem this place is!!! Hands down the ✨️BEST✨️ ice cream I have ever had. Better yet, it's vegan and light on the tummy. Truly what dessert dreams are made of.

The toppings and ice cream options are endless, local, and housemade. The owner, Mary, goes above and beyond to ensure that she has an eclectic, delicious variety offered in the absolute cutest lil' truck. You can taste the local ingredients, talent, and clear perfection of her craft in every bite. You can't go wrong with any flavor or any topping. Everything...
