Abby Alvin is working to launch Reef’s Real Fruit Ice Cream (facebook, instagram) food truck in Portland this summer. Reef’s specializes in a New Zealand-style ice cream which blends together an ice cream base with fruit to create a soft serve treat. It is made to order and customers can choose up to three fruits to blend into their ice cream. Reef’s will offer an assortment of fruit options including strawberry, banana, pineapple, mango, blackberry, raspberry and Maine blueberries.
Alvin is partnering with Rising Tide and will be locating the food truck in their patio this summer. She hope to launch in mid-June.
Alvin initially launched the business in Kīhei on Maui in late 2024. She’s originally from New England and has a family connection to Rockport where she’d summer with her grandparents. Alvin shared that she’s energized by the dynamic food scene in Portland looking forward to bring the New Zealand fruit ice cream concept to life here.
