Beaverton - Ome Calli

We finally made it to try Ome Calli, after having meant to get there for some time.

Conveniently located about a tenth of a mile and across the street from Mexicali Express, they are not quite as old, having been making ice cream for thirty years, starting in Mexico City before relocating to Beaverton.

Homemade ice cream can be enjoyed in cones, bowls, milkshakes, and sundaes, but those are not the only frozen treats.

There are also paletas (popsicles) that can either be fruity or creamy, as can the gelatinas, and there are even frozen bananas.

Also worth noting, the variety of flavors includes more tropical options.

This is largely why it is my sisters' new favorite option, as they can just get coconut ice cream; it does not have to be coconut cream. (Though there is a coconut cream-based gelatina and paleta.)

The most unusual treat may be the chamoyadas, a combination of shaved ice, paleta, and chamoy that can be leveled up with mango slices and tamarind.  

However, I feel that the real core is the ice cream and ice pops, a motif repeated on the sign and hanging from the ceiling.

Summer is coming!

COVID: While it was not crowded, there was a steady stream of customers. I masked inside, and they do have picnic tables outside that get a fair amount of use. I acknowledge that if you want to start licking right away to reduce melting, the mask is inconvenient.

Accessibility: Navigation seemed pretty easy for ordering and paying. If you want to look all along the cases, there could be one section where you would need to back out.

Yes, there are some fun distractions, but notice a clear path to the door. Also, if you want to order in instead, it is available through DoorDash and GrubHub.
