When we first met Lisa Herlinger of Ruby Jewel Treats a few years ago, she was a one-woman ice cream sandwichery, hawking her delicious all-natural, locally-sourced wares at the Portland, Oregon farmer's market. Today her dreamy frozen delights are sold in eight states and she has a thriving mail order business and an endorsement from "O" magazine under her belt. Lisa started Ruby Jewel so she could share her love of ice cream with the world, and we’re glad that her commitment to deliciousness means we can order up a big box of them any time we want!

No one has to convince us to try an ice cream sandwich; for years we've been fans of the iconic Bay Area treat IT'S-IT and we're not above snarfing down a sticky little ice milk slab on a hot day. But Ruby Jewel Treats take the form to a whole other level. Just-chewy-enough cinnamon chocolate chip cookies surround espresso ice cream like a heavenly frozen mochacchino; gingersnaps provide a perfectly spicy counterpoint to creamy pumpkin ice cream. We also love the chocolate mint and double chocolate peanut butter versions, and we look forward to seasonal specials like lemon with strawberry ice cream.

We are firm believers in the philosophy of doing one thing and getting it really, really right; Ruby Jewel gets ice cream sandwiches really, really right, and keeps their operation green at the same time. Order Ruby Jewel treats for your loved one this Valentine’s Day—if you live in the Portland, Oregon area, they will deliver your V-Day orders for free.
