WELCOME TO ICE QUEEN – HANDCRAFTED VEGAN PALETAS IN PORTLAND, OREGON
Owner Rebecca Smith with the push carts that started it all.
Ice Queen was founded in 2018 by Rebecca Smith with a simple goal: to bring handcrafted, plant-based paletas to the heart of Portland. What started with just a foldable table, a pink Yeti cooler, and a lot of passion has grown into a cherished fixture in the vibrant Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, near Ladd's Addition.
At Ice Queen, each paleta is a piece of Rebecca’s rich heritage and a reflection of the flavors she grew up with. Our paletas are made by hand, with love and care, using only the finest plant-based ingredients. Whether you’re a local Portlander or just visiting, we’re proud to share these authentic frozen treats with you.
Our paletas aren’t just a local favorite—they’ve spread across the Pacific Northwest! Today, you can find Ice Queen’s unique frozen desserts in over 50 stores throughout Oregon and Washington, spreading happiness wherever they go.
Every Ice Queen paleta is made by hand—watch Rebecca pour the mixture and see the care that goes into each frozen treat. Learn more about our production process on the Paleteria page.
