Eb & Bean #3 Grand Opening in Portland, Oregon

Fro-yo girl here. Eb & Bean #3 held its grand opening party tonight (March 1) from 7 PM – 10 PM. The new shop is located at 645 NW 21st Ave. in Portland, Oregon (aka the Alphabet District). As luck would have it, I happened to be in town! Of course, this wasn’t completely by accident. I’m so happy to go to my first froyo shop grand opening in Portland.

On a cold night, the interior of Eb & Bean looked so cozy and inviting. The cute décor reminded me of the other two locations – all of which feature the big polar bear mascot with his warm hat, a wall with different paper mache popsicles and froyo cones, and sprinkles. This location also carries Little Nib’s selection of Oregon craft chocolate and confections.

There are 8 flavors a day, swirled nicely for you, and featuring local, organic, hand-crafted frozen yogurt, including dairy-free options (almond milk and coconut milk based). It looks like Madagascar Vanilla and Valrhona Chocolate froyo are always offered, while the other 6 flavors are seasonal. Many flavors are creative and ones that I haven’t seen elsewhere. I love that. I’m still thinking about the rosemary caramel froyo which was smooth, creamy and definitely had the taste of rosemary (I love rosemary!). I liked how it wasn’t too sweet either. So good. And the toppings are crazy, with many housemade sauces, magic shell flavors (e.g., raspberry magic shell, cold brew bourbon sauce, peanut butter magic shell).

In addition to free froyo and toppings, the grand opening party featured raffle prizes from Cinema 21, Good Coffee, Solabee Flowers, Green Leaf Juice, Besaws, The Solo Club, Sterling Coffee, Bhuna, The Yo Store, Fish & Rice, and of course, Eb & Bean. 

If you're in Portland and you love froyo, you must visit Eb & Bean.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
