Forget Regular Soft Serve, This New Portland Ice Cream Truck Blends Real Fruit Into Every Cone

If you're looking for a frozen treat that's unlike anything else in Maine, there's a new ice cream truck you need to add to your summer bucket list. Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream, known for its authentic New Zealand-style soft serve, has officially opened its second-ever location, right here in Portland. After finding success with its first truck in Maui, Reef's celebrated its grand opening on June 13, and the response was overwhelming.

It's Not Your Average Ice Cream Truck

What makes Reef's stand out is the way every cone is made fresh to order. Customers start by choosing either classic vanilla ice cream or a nondairy coconut base. Then comes the fun part, pick up to three real fruits, which are blended directly into the soft serve to create a custom swirl bursting with fresh flavor.

Fresh Maine Blueberries Meet New Zealand Tradition

One of the biggest highlights? Their real fruit blueberry ice cream made with locally grown Maine blueberries. If tropical flavors are more your style, combinations like coconut pineapple are just as refreshing. Every swirl is made with real fruit, making each order taste bright, fresh, and completely different from traditional soft serve.

Find Them at Rising Tide All Summer Long

You'll find Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream parked outside Rising Tide Brewing Company at 103 Fox Street in Portland every day through September. Whether you're craving a classic berry blend or want to create your own fruity masterpiece, this is one summer stop that's well worth the trip.
