really good vegan icecream! - Edit
Stopped through on a roadtrip, went through drive through and I was so excited to order a sandwich, but didn’t realize that you can only order small bites and ice cream in the drive through, so be advised if you want a larger dish to use the walk up window!
Read moreBut I was able to get the vegan potato salad and the vegan sundae “Smokey the bear”. Both were incredible!! And I haven’t had vegan icecream like this before. I feel like often coconut based icecream is too coconut-y, but I could barely taste it in this sundae. So creamy and all the toppings were so so delicious. Also sometimes vegan icecream leaves my stomach feeling weird, but it’s been a few hours and I feel great!!

Build Your Own Vegan Sundae - Edit
What a fun experience for the kids. And the adults too! It’s been so long since any of us could build a sundae! I love soft serve ice cream and I was not disappointed. Chocolate sauce, sprinkles, Oreo, lots of topping choices. Highly recommend stopping here.

Sugarpine Drive-in is an experience that is worth having at least once. Everything I’ve had here has been delicious. This is such a unique place in a gorgeous setting. The vegan options are 10/10 😋

Finally went here - Edit
I’ve been meaning to come here for over a year and am so glad I finally did! The bowl I got from the winter menu was incredible. It was so flavorful and fresh. My partner got the Reuben and said the sauce was very tasty but wished it had vegan cheese. We finished the meal with the mango sticky rice sundae. I look forward to the next time we make it out here.
Read morePros: Flavorful , Adorable setting , Fast service

Mango Sticky Rice Sundae 🥭 - Edit
I don’t know what else to say besides I’m obsessed and this has to be the most delicious sundae I’ve had in my entire life. Perfect flavor and toppings. 100/10, zero complaints.

Vegan Reuben - Edit
Had the (Veggie) Reuben with Beet Pastrami. Was very unique in flavor and pretty good! Kinda wish they just had a ‘half sandwich’ option as it’s a big one. Got some left overs for later!

“Pastrami” beets did not satisfy - Edit
We loved the vibe here. Blankets to help you stay warm in wi tee months. Wacky ice cream combos. But, the vegan Reuben was not my fave. Supposedly the beets were “pastrami” but they just tasted like beets.
Read morePros: Good to have plant based options, Fun ice cream combos , Nice staff & atmosphere
Cons: They could use a better plant based pastrami, Bathroom is a very long walk on a cold day

Long Line at Sugarpine - Edit
I ordered the plant-based version of the Caul' of the Wild sandwich, which is
Read moreroasted cauliflower with silken tofu-harissa spread, pistachio and macadamia dukkah, green tahini, spicy greens, and pickled jicama on a poppyseed kaiser roll. It tasted good, but was very messy to eat. The sandwich is served with a bag of Tim's potato chips. I realize it's convenient to use bags rather than bulk, but it's wasteful. Even though I was quite full, I ordered a marshmallow ice cream with Oreo shortbread crunch. Unfortunately, they don't offer a vegan cone, so it's served in a cup. I requested no spoon, but was given one anyway. The soft serve had a hint of marshmallow flavor, but I particularly enjoyed the Oreo crunchies.
Pros: outdoor seating, lots of vegan ice cream toppings
Cons: crowded, limited vegan ice cream flavors, disposable ice cream cups and spoons

An ice cream destination - Edit
We live not too far away and most of the local spots I would classify as ok in a pinch but not a destination. I would make this a fun destination for sure. The spumoni special is vegan, they rotate monthly, as noted below me, and yes that same one, and is such a special treat. I don't think I've ever had such a creative, well thought out dessert before.
Read moreWhile I was only there for ice cream today, my crew has been several times and have gotten the cauliflower with great enjoyment and they seem willing to accommodate. There's a few vegan items marked clearly, they have specials, and everything tried by my guys were enjoyed thoroughly. Everyone there, and its a big hopping crew, they were busy, was in a good vibe, happy place makes a fun spot to stop actually fun. Really glad they extend this fun and happy times in a sweet spot to vegans as well.
must stop if up the Gorge and consider coming around anyhow...

Cute - Edit
Nice little place to stop out near the Columbia Gorge. Seems like they always have 1 vegan sundae and 1 vegan lunch option but it rotates. I enjoyed both sundaes we tried!

Vegan options! - Edit
Passed through Troutdale just to eat at this place! Ordered the Caul’ of the Wild cauliflower burger a few weeks ago and I see it’s not on their menu today. They now have some different vegan items on offer. Looks like they change their menu with the seasons. Nice! The food was good and the staff great. The cauli burger also came with an option to have it as a rice bowl instead of in a bun which I kind of wish I would’ve done. A bit too bready with the cauliflower. My mom had the Sugarpine salad which she thoroughly enjoyed. But the dessert! Strawberry cheesecake sundae! Wow! It was a coconut based vanilla ice cream and strawberry sorbet combo covered with strawberry sauce and cashew cheesecake bites. Yes, please! So great to have a creative and delicious vegan dessert option at a drive in! Vegan items/options are clearly marked on their menu. A great stop for lunch!

The Caul’ Of The Wild sandwich was delicious and filling but I came hungry - Edit
Between sandwich, sweet potato fries (with ketchup) and the ice cream sundae, I was very satisfied. Combine that with friendly service and the beautiful and scenic setting and it’s well worth the trip!
