Portlanders have plenty of choices when it comes to handmade ice cream, but this small handmade ice cream shop tops the bunch. Ruby Jewel is a local business around since 2004 that serves up some truly delicious ice cream for our collective enjoyment.
Ruby Jewel has three locations: 3713 N Mississippi Avenue, 4703 SE Hawthorne Ave, and 428 SW 12th Ave.
All their stores are cute, bright and welcoming.
Like any great ice cream shop, there are a myriad of flavors to choose from. Cookies and Cream, Oregon Mint Flake and Oregon Strawberry are just a few perennial favorites.
The milkshakes are pretty amazing too.
There are plenty of classic flavors to choose from, or you can design your own.
Housemade waffle cones are an amazing way to enjoy their ice cream.
Or if you like, you can have the amazing ice cream sandwiched between two cookies for a portable treat.
Whatever you get, it is pretty amazing and creamy.
If cooler weather is stopping you from a trip to the ice cream shop, Ruby Jewel also makes hot chocolate to draw you in.
Whatever your mood, this is the place to enjoy some deletable ice cream that will make your day great.
