Our story

Calm stone, quiet cow,
serious ice cream.

In many Asian cultures, jade is the stone of calm, purity, and good fortune, a small object of everyday luxury, passed down and treasured. The cow is our reminder that the richest things begin simply: fresh cream, patience, and care.

Put them together and you have our ethos: blend the traditions we grew up with into modern flavors made for sharing. Pandan steeped slow, sesame roasted deep, tea brewed properly, crafted with the care of a fine dessert house. Every scoop is a much-needed reminder of our roots. Nothing loud. Nothing artificial. Just nostalgia in refined balance.

Portland, meet Jade Cow

Born at The Flock, summer 2026

We opened our counter inside The Flock food hall in downtown Portland on July 18, 2026: eight signature flavors, one bubble waffle iron, and a line out the door.

Every flavor starts from a memory: the White Rabbit candies from a grandmother's pocket, cà phê sữa đá on a humid afternoon, ube from a childhood birthday cake. We churn those memories in small batches, daily.

What we stand by

Three quiet promises

Premium crafted

Inspired by the rich, dense style of premium ice cream. Our recipes are crafted with high quality ingredients, a high milk-fat ratio, and low overrun for a smooth and luxurious taste.

Never too sweet

The highest compliment in an Asian household. We balance every base so the flavor leads and the sugar follows.

Everyone's welcome

Clear allergen labels on every flavor, kid scoops, tasting flights, and a team that will happily let you try before you pick.
