I hope to return soon for an ice cream cake!
Road trips. Little league games. Late-night sugar emergencies. But there’s something different about Dairy Queen in The Dalles.
This isn’t just a fast-food stop. It’s a landmark. A rite of passage. A creamy beacon of hope glowing against the Gorge wind.
I rolled up craving a cone. Simple request. Vanilla soft serve. Nothing fancy. But what I received was not just a cone it was architecture.
Enter: Kiana.
I watched as she took that humble swirl and elevated it into a towering monument of dairy excellence. The wrist control. The symmetry. The flawless spiral tapering to a perfect peak. Michelangelo had marble, Kiana has soft serve.
She didn’t just hand me a cone. She presented it.
It stood tall. Regal. Structurally sound despite the ever-present Columbia River breeze threatening to test its integrity. Not a drip out of place. The kind of cone that makes you hesitate before taking the first bite because you know you’re about to destroy a masterpiece.
And then there’s the vibe.
The Dalles DQ has that classic, small-town energy where everyone seems to know each other, and even if they don’t know you, they treat you like they do. The line moves fast. The staff is upbeat. And somehow the ice cream tastes colder, creamier, more victorious than anywhere else.
Maybe it’s the post-hike reward factor. Maybe it’s the Gorge air. Or maybe it’s just that when someone like Kiana is behind the counter crafting edible works of art, you can taste the pride.
All I know is this:
If you’re passing through The Dalles and you skip this Dairy Queen, you’ve made a tactical error.
Go.
Order the cone.
Witness the swirl.
And if Kiana’s on cone duty?
Prepare yourself for greatness.
I think the current set of employees need to be reminded that earning a wage is not social hour. They need to be providing appropriate customer service.
