“When there’s celebrations, there’s always the man with the cart walking by.for me, it’s really emblematic of California and its street vendors.” Starting the business has helped Smith maintain a strong connection to her Chicana heritage - she’s always delighted when customers who also hail from California come in and tell her they haven’t had a paleta since moving to Portland. “Paletas were always in the background of events,” Smith says. Smith, a Bay Area-native, found a love of ice cream growing up eating paletas from the corner store in her neighborhood. People feel seen and validated and nostalgic.’ “.The deeper I got into this, the more I was like, ‘Oh, this is actually making an impact to some degree. Behind the bar, a custom acrylic sign bears the name of the shop’s logo, which was designed by Tyler Alexander of Portland-based creative agency Kamp Grizzly. With the shop’s playful touches, Smith hopes to bring “some of the fun back to ice cream.” Paletas are propped up in a colorful display, and a chocolate well and toppings bar are embedded in a light-up counter next to the case for customers to customize their dessert. It’s been cool, and I think it’s something that’s really very specific to Portland - just how much people are willing to ride for you.” The pop-ups, the walk-up window.they’ve been with me through that whole thing. “During COVID, I was delivering to people’s houses. “There have been so many people that literally came to my first pop-up,” Smith says. Its avid customer base has followed Smith along the entire journey. The shop also serves chocolate-covered bananas, vegan soft serve, and house-spun cotton candy.
#ARE PICA FRESA VEGAN PLUS#
Ice Queen will have 15 permanent flavors in stock, including customer favorites like oatchata (horchata with an oat milk base) and watermelon Tajín, plus five seasonal specials and perhaps an extra “random flavor” that Smith has made on a whim. The paleteria is currently offering a limited menu, though diners looking to lean into the October of it all can find Halloween-themed frozen treats such as the Shut Your Pie Hole (pumpkin pie) paleta and a spooky float made with locally made chamoy from Pica Drip. Four years, countless pop-ups, and a now-shuttered walk-up window location later, Ice Queen, the Chicana- and Indigenous-owned vegan paleteria and dessert shop, opened in mid-October. So she decided to try her hand at making paletas, Mexican popsicles with fresh fruit in a water or milk base, instead.
