Mount Desert Island Ice Cream has five shops that are mostly located in Portland but they also have a location in the District of Columbia and one location in Japan! We tried the ice cream at this location for the first time and it was so tasty! They pride themselves on making small batch, high quality ice cream with a high ratio of butterfat and low air whipped inside. You can tell that they care about their ice cream just by eating it. The flavors were all delicious, the atmosphere is small and simple. They don't list all of their flavors on their wall so if you really want to see what they have you're just going to have to go inside and check it out. The line gets long here quickly so the sooner you get here, the better. Service is counter service and was friendly and quick. If you're looking for some tasty and unique flavors in Portland, Maine, check this place out! My wife and I got the ice cream flight which consisted of your choice of 4 different flavors. They give big scoops for each flavor and the flight is only $9 so make sure you have someone to help share, or not! The flavors we got were, Metz Sugar Pill, Blueberry Sour Cream Crumble, Lemon Poppy Jam and Butterbeer. The Metz Sugar Pill was an "elevated" s'mores. It's a marshmallow ice cream base with bits of graham cracker and hot fudge ripple. The Blueberry Sour Cream Crumble was a blueberry and sour cream ice cream base with different sized bites of sugary crust inside. The Lemon Poppy Jam is a lemon and poppyseed ice cream base with raspberry jam ripple. And lastly the Butterbeer. It was hard to tell what was in this but we assumed it was a root beer and butterscotch ice cream. Of the four flavors that we had, I really liked the Blueberry Sour Cream Crumble the most. The flavor was rich with blueberries and a hint of sour cream and the crumble inside was soft and complemented the ice cream perfectly. Tasted like I was eating blueberry pie with ice cream. The Lemon Poppy Jam was also delicious and fresh tasting. The jam was plentiful and also complemented the ice cream well. The Metz Sugar Pill was a good take on s'mores and the ice cream tasted like it had some malt taste to it alongside the marshmallow flavor and I liked it a lot but I with there was a bit more graham cracker bits inside. Lastly, the Butterbeer was... Different. It mostly just tastes like root beer ice cream which wasn't bad but wasn't the Butterbeer I expected. I went to universal studios and tried Butterbeer from the Harry Potter themed part of the park and it tasted more like butterscotch. So if you're like me and expect that flavor, this ice cream is not that haha still good though and tasted like an ice cream float. This place has a while bunch of different flavors that I wanted to try but got full after sharing the sampler with my wife. Check out my pictures to see all the ice creams that they have as of posting this. Food - 5 ⭐ Atmosphere - 4.5 ⭐ Service - 5 ⭐ Overall - 5 ⭐ Follow me for more reviews across America 😎🍔🍕🍨🍦🦖🔧

I'm not sure how we missed this place in Acadia but I'm sure glad I got to try them in Portland! Absolutely one of the best ice creams I've ever had! Their chocolate, blueberry buttermilk, and cinnamon cardommom are few of their amazing flavors! They're open fairly late so makes a sweet way to end your night!

P&M Buss

Best ice cream ever! Usually go to their Bar Harbor location but that’s another 4+ hours away. Great unique flavors. Loved the basil lemon and the strawberry!

iris hale

Absolutely delicious. Bottom was Girl Scout thin mint, top was a Maine blueberry with a crumble inside. Best ice cream I’ve ever had and was well priced. Definitely coming back!

Troy Hollihan

Oooo it is gooood! They had a bunch of funky flavors, but there was only one way to go for this Harry Potter fan: butterbeer ice cream. It was soooo creamy and smooth and delicious. I can't really describe the flavor but I'm a fan. The staff was super friendly, I will definitely come back for more.

Heidi Nottonson

Fantastic flavors! Thank you for letting me choose two flavors for size small. This means I come back frequently to create new flavor combinations!

J Ruffin

Omg! I love the flavors here! My single (actually two scoops) was so good, I came back for round 2 for a repeat the next day. I got Lamington (coconut base,etc) and Salted Caramel. I wish I could have it shipped! I checked this location out while visiting Portland from the DC area and was bummed I hadn't heard of one in the DC area....until I searched on IG/Google and discovered there's a DC location too! Will definitely visit that location (DC) too even though they may not have all the same flavors as this Portland location. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in Portland too.

inbal solomon

What an amazing place! Original flavors! And GOOD one too!! You should totally come and taste it! The flavors I tasted (and some ate obvious): mint, Vietnamese coffee, Belgian chocolate, salty Carmel and I think more but ALL were AMAZING! I usually don't like mint in candy but this one was delicious! The Vietnamese coffee is with a little cinnamon, AMAZING.

Kevin McNeil

Solid ice cream. Range of flavors. All standard fare. I enjoyed the sorbets (lemon mint and plum). Very little seating and cash only. Sister location to Bar Harbor original.

Kathryn K

Maybe it’s because the day I stopped by they didn’t have many of the unique flavors mentioned by others, but I thought the ice cream was just okay. The blueberry buttermilk and a weird texture while the strawberry was vibrant, but nothing special. I would get gelato before going back here. Staff was super friendly though! Thumbs up to them.

Pauline Pham

Yum!! We made sure to stop by the infamous Mount Desert Ice Cream while hanging out in Old Port. They make their own ice creams and sorbets and they don't shy away from the more adventurous flavor combinations. I like the more basic flavors so I stuck with the Maine Sweet Cream. It was rich and creamy and I enjoyed the consistency of it. My friend opted for the grapefruit sorbet and mentioned it was really refreshing and tasty. I sampled some of the more adventurous flavors and while they were TOO complex for my simpleton taste buds I appreciated what they were trying to do haha.

Leah Williams

Love going to ice cream shops with unique/interesting flavors - and this one definitely met my expectations! I ended up indulging in Bay of Figs & Lemon Poppy Seed Berry Swirl - a killer combo that satisfied beyond what I anticipated! I was torn on getting Kelp Caramel and/or Butterscotch Miso & was a bit bummed that we weren’t able to taste test before ordering. Nonetheless, my sister ended up getting the other two I was between so I still got to enjoy them! As odd as they may sound, they were both super tasty too!

Christian Adams

I got the metz sugar pill (very tuned up smores), the blueberry cream cheese pie, and my girlfriend got the girl-scout (thin mint). For starters it was $12 for about 8 scoops of what you’d get elsewhere, definitely go for the smaller size. The flavors were amazing. Best ice cream i’ve had hands down, so flavorful and creamy, i’m sure all the flavors were the same. I’ll be visiting every time i’m in town.

John Andrews

Some really interesting flavors and the ability to get a flight was a win!

Ronda Hamm

Try an ice cream flight so you don’t have to choose just one flavor! We had 7 layer bar, blueberry sour cream crumble, Nutella, and butterbeer! All were great but the 7 layer and blueberry were awesome.

Mika

AMAZING 😍 i usually dont like sorbets, but the blueberry basil sorbet was out of this world and still very thick and creamy for a sorbet. "The Dude" is like a White Russian in ice cream and it was also delicious. their flavor list was unique and creative, if you're lookin for a scoop that goes above and beyond the classics, this is the spot furthermore their service during covid-19 restrictions was effective and efficient. other ice creams places in the area only had call ahead ordering but Mt.Desert Island had all of their eye-catching flavors listed right in the window with someone ready to serve you in the doorway.

Hilary D

While waiting on lost luggage from the PWM airport, this place was the BOMB! It was so good I had to go on the way back home a week later! Coffee ice cream is super strong and scrumptious! The blueberry sweet cream and lemon poppy jam were my top 3! Y'all should open up in Texas, Sugar Land that is 😉 …

Charlene Ayala

Kinda pricy but Vietnamese ice coffee was amazing. But don't get the mint ice cream, it was absolutely disgusting

Judy Levine

Best flight of ice cream for $10.00. Four big scoops of the best ice cream that we have had in a while. Highly recommend the Basil flavor, it was the best.

Colleen Dunlea

This place has such fun and unique flavors that we really wanted to try all of them They don’t give samples so it was hard to choose! We chose the salt wildflower and honey flavor and the sweet cream flavor. Sweet cream was good only is you like the flavor of milk but the salt wildflower &honey was a total home run. Absolutely delicious.

Eiden Pard

The best ice cream we have ever had. All other ice cream is ruined now. The Fresh Mint tasted like an actual mint leaf. Not mint flavored, or mint extract, but an actual real life mint leaf. It was amazing.

Sheilla Thomas

Great service, gurls were extremely polite and patient as we tried samples. Great customer service. Ice is wonderful and so is atmosphere.

April Lee Uzarski

I had the dude ice cream which was delicious. Friendly staff and quick service.

Tamar Friedman

Creative flavors. My family loved the peach flavor. I had a sorbet that was not very smooth but tasty.

C.

Great Place! I have gone to this establishment twice and one experience was absolutely amazing. I love all the unique flavors and the staff was amazing. Even though it was a very busy day, we felt welcomed and taken care of. . The second time was not so great. Hence the 4 out of 5 stars. The staff member on duty, was clearly not having it. We had a larger order for 5, that 2 of us were getting. The first 2 requests were of a single scoop of the same flavor. The attendant gave us the wrong flavor. And then when we said heyy we didn't want the orange, it was the raspberry. He aggressively tossed the scoops back into the orange bin and grabbed the actual flavor and smacked the cups on the counter. My sister and I were just kind of shocked and quietly waited until he got the other one and continued with our order. The rest went smoothly ... until we got into the car. He had scooped one of the other flavors wrong and gave a different family member basil instead of sweet cream. 🤦‍♀️ At that point they just suffered and ate the Basil... I really like this place and will continue to support it. I don't know if that guy was just having a bad day or what. I just did not think the attitude was warranted. We were extremely patient with the guy. And I feel bad that the customers behind us had walked out when they saw his customer service.

Mackenzie Melo

I am not sure if the shop had just opened or if it was going through renovation, but they didn't have a lot of flavors, neither they had bottled water. However, what a delicious ice cream they serve there! I loved their chocolate 🍨! I wish they were closer to me... …

Ashton Dodge

The ice cream isn't good enough to compensate for the expensive small portions. People go here because it's on Exchange Street-- tourist trap central. If you've a craving for ice cream, go to Gelato Fiasco or Gorgeous Gelato for high-quality stuff, or Beal's for affordable run-of-the-mill stuff. Best ice cream place around here is probably The Dairy Corner, but it's in Scarborough.

Cindy Murray

Yum!!! Their ice cream has just the right amount of consistency. I had the lemon poppy seed and it was delicious

Amber Richards

Their Butterbeer flavor is very creamy and tasty! They have other unique flavors that I want to come back and try. Definitely recommend it!

Brian Surette

Best ice cream in New England? (Ok, maybe rivaled by some random stand on Martha's Vineyard, but that was many many years ago). Wonderful creative flavors (Cinnamon & Cardamom, Vietnamese Coffee, Coriander Lemon Curd, The Dude [it has brandy+!) and great location. Extremely friendly and dedicated staff could use some extra help (hint hint owners!) w/ the long well earned lines!

Rosa (Pinklynn007)

At first, I was going to walk out because the server was not very friendly but then another server helped us and he was very nice and gave us very generous portions of ice cream. You will find some very unique flavors here. Try them! They are delicious!! My favorite was basil!

Neeral Shah

Such a great ice cream. Worth the line wait. We got Maine Salted Caramel..... soo good. We shared one cup for a family of four. My husband, who is not an ice cream fan, loved this flavor. Will def be back tomorrow

Jill McCain

The most delicious ice cream we've had- unique, interesting flavors with subtlety and depth to them. Excellent option for those with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity- each flavor is labeled with a wheat symbol if it has gluten in it... so nice not to have to ask about each one! Friendly staff as well. My kids beg me to go here each time were in Portland, and I can't say I ever mine giving in to it!

Henry Zhang

Their fresh mint ice cream had a perfect balance of flavors. I meant to order their fresh basil, but my brain froze and I said mint instead of basil. I don’t regret it, but I’ll try their basil next time if it’s available!

Katie Pelkey

The basil flavor was one of the most unique flavors I’ve ever tried and I’d highly recommend giving it a try! You could taste the freshness of the ingredients used in their ice cream. I’d definitely come back to this place, as their flavors are constantly changing.

Samuel Peluso

I was very impressed that they've marked all of their flavors with symbols for allergens but was very disappointed that their only vegan options at the time were sherbets. They have coconut based ice creams, but they aren't listed as vegan. The other places in town seem to have better vegan options.

Wenting

I was skeptical about Thai Coconut Chili, but man it was GOOD! And also got the Dude, both not too sweet. You could get one scoop for 2 flavors and it was big enough to share between two. Well worth the 25 min wait!

Pablo Rubio

This is a great ice cream shop with very reasonable pricing for its quality. I highly recommend the praline and cream, blueberry sour cream, thin mints and cardamom. Their servings are very large and a medium cup is a very satisfying portion. The texture of their ice cream is also excellent and despite it seemingly not being super high fat content, it is still creamy and doesn’t have ice chunks. The only thing I would add is more seating.

lynn Kemna

I loved this place. The flavors were unique, and wonderful my I can't wait to go back

Erin Fulton

Ordered a couple flights; favorite flavors included: Callebaut Chocolate Maine Sea Salt Caramel Emogene’s Pecan Butter Brickle Maine Sweet Cream Runners-up: Cookies & Sweet Cream Metz Sugar Pill Girl Scout This little shop was SUCH a treat. They even made milkshakes for the kids!

Ellie Martin

Pretty crowded around 8, but the line was with the wait. The ice cream was not too sweet at all, and I loved it. I had banana molasses. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of it, it was pretty good and not overwhelming at all. My mother had blueberry something and it was really good and didn’t taste like some nasty artificial replacement. Definitely would recommend, don’t expect to get seating though! Especially at later times.

Ashlyn Ford

The Ice cream is so good, just stumbled upon it today! They had quite a few flavors i'd never heard of before. Which is awesome if you wanna try new things. I tried the Butterscotch Miso and it is fantastic!! Such a good flavor idea and my new favorite! The lady at the counter was also really nice!

JR Curley

Awesome, hand made ice cream served fresh daily! The selection is excellent, with diverse, unique flavours. There is only street parking, and only space for about 5 people to sit at a bar. The spot is small, but the taste is huge! Pro tip - the ice cream is sometimes still too hard to be distributed when they open. If so, just come back in a bit and it'll be ready!

motahareh tavakoli

Unique delicious ice cream flavors, it is a bit pricy but worth it. I love the basil and fig ones.

BeantownEater

This place is pretty small, but has a alot of flavors. The options are endless. I grabbed the cookies n cream and my friend got salted caramel. Both, we're smooth and delicious. The ice cream felt light and not to heavy on dairy like other ice creams. Price is won't the quality. Definitely, worth a shot

Stacie Klein

Having missed this place on my first visit to Portland, I was thrilled to finally try it! The creativity of flavors were as delightful as I'd hoped. Standouts for creativity were pineapple paprika sorbet and butterscotch miso ice cream. I went for a more tame choice of ginger, which was chock full of warm spiced chunks of ginger. Perfect place if you have an adventurous palate and a sweet tooth!

Christin D'Ovidio

Really this was some of the best Icecream I've had, Vietnamese coffee with hot fudge. Others in my party had: Maine Blueberry Crumble, Fresh Cream, Peanut butter and Chocolate. Full flavors and nice elasticity. Order at the door right now.

Mark LoGiurato

Cool, unique take on ice cream flavors that actually taste great!

Karen N

Super friendly staff, great variety of flavours available (everything from butterbeer and Vietnamese coffee to the old fashioned cookies and cream). Would highly recommend the sea salt caramel and skip the blueberry which sadly feels so watered down.

Dean Langsam

I think this is the best ice cream I've had in the united states. They have all this weird wonderful flavors like Basil, Coriander and Cardimom, which were nice to try out. Eventually I went more conservative, and had the best sea salt caramel ice cream I've ever tried.

Laura Cabe

Very tasty, the Thai coconut chili has a lovely kick and the cinnamon cardamom paired as my second scoop. I only wish I lived here to be able to have it again!

Ayumi Horie

I have always loved their off kilter flavors and the risks they take are good ones. I wish that their ice cream was a bit more hard so it didn't melt so fast, but I still take out if town guests here for something out of the ordinary with respect to flavors. The only flavor I haven't liked is their matcha, but it's hard to get good matcha outside of Japan.

B Lyons

It was pretty crowded when we arrived and they didnt seem to have a consistent way to take orders. I ordered one scoop of peanut butter ice cream - it was good, and had chunks of actually peanut butter that tasted somewhat like a "natural organic" peanut butter. I wish they had whipped cream!

Don Smith

This place is awesome! Not only do they have The Dude, their take on the Big Lebowski's White Russian, but they also gladly tolerated my wife, who wanted to order 4 flavors in a double cup. She might have spent too much time this afternoon at Austin Street Brewing and Rising Tide Brewing, but she really enjoyed this shop's ice cream.

Glen A

First visit here and the ice cream was great. Nice and thick and creamy. The flavor selection was good the service great explaining the flavors and giving samples. I will definitely be back next time we are in Portland.

Stephen Nisotel

Absolutely floored by how many creative and original flavors this place offers. Do not come here if you are looking for your “classic” ice cream flavors. DO come here if you want an experience you won’t get elsewhere. I ordered a double with cinnamon cardamom, biscoff butter, and hot chili chocolate and it was the perfect trifecta of flavors. I grabbed a pint of all 3 of those, as well as buttermilk blueberry and blackstrap banana to bring back home with me. This place is a must if you visit Bar Harbor.

Joy Li

great price and incredible quality icecream. much better than all the other options in maine! try the white russian, such a unique & yummy flavor!

M D

It was nice that they had a tasty non-dairy option. Not so nice that they don't offer samples.

Larry Pfohl

We were in portland for one day and one night. With such a short amount of time and a sweet tooth nagging we took off walking downtown and stumbled upon this place. It had a very laid back and casual atmosphere...very comfortable. Lots of really cool art hanging (I assumed it to be local artists). The staff were very friendly and polite and all of that was just an added bonus on top of some very tasty ice cream. It was late night and when they ran out of a flavor, that was it.

Ben Garber

The ice cream was delicious, fresh and with really original flavors that were a pleasure to try. I especially liked the Butterscotch Miso, which was, as promised, a fresh take on salted caramel. Also, they were really nice even though we came in a minute before closing.

Naomi B

Creativity and imagination abound! Absolutely crazy delicious flavor selections, it's so difficult to choose which you want to taste-test before the final purchase! The most notable flavors I had here were Blackstrap molasses (I HATE molasses and I LOVED this ice cream... it tasted like the ice cream reincarnation of banana bread even though there were no bananas) and butterscotch miso (yeah... MISO!... it added the perfect salty-savoriness to the butterscotch). Will definitely stop by next time I'm in town!

Willard

Wow the line was long. But the flavor selection is unparalleled and very unique. Our group got a variety of flavors, including butterscotch miso, sea salt caramel, maple walnut, blueberry basil, and chocolate. Awesome all around. Big portions too.

Miles Heise

Solid ice cream, creative flavors (favorite this visit was the coriander blackberry). Excellent friendly service. And I'm glad they have a "flight" option for indecisive people like myself, normally I have to pay too much and get too much ice cream just to get a bit of everything and this was a much better system.

Charley Scott

Amazing. Hand made, full bodied flavorful ice cream. So many unique flavors, each one a hit. This ice cream is my new favorite. We were fortunate to beat the rush so we could sample a few flavors, Indian Pudding, Cookie Dough, a Chocolate ice cream mixed with Dulce de Leche (which was to die for!) and the Cinnamon Cardamom. Friendly staff too. We are definitely going to make this our new ice cream spot.

Scott Dykstra

Fantastic ice cream! The flavors are made with real ingredients, rather than just flavoring/extract. You can really taste the difference. My husband and I both got three kiddy scoops so that we could have three different flavors. I had the salted peanut butter, chocolate and salted Carmel. My hubby had Lemmon poppyseed, mount mint and salted caramel. The chocolate could have been a little darker, but thats just preference: it was still quite delicious. All the other flavors were perfection. We loved it!!!

Daisie Warner

It's really difficult for me to post a bad rating on this shop. Im sure the owners wanted better. I have always went to gelato fiasco when downtown. One night we went here instead, the girls were sitting on the counters, and playing with their phones. Took a while for them to get up to greet us, seemed annoyed we were there, and then didn't wash their hands before serving us. Took our cash, (handled cash!!) and then proceeded to scoop the next customers. I've worked in management in customer service most of my life, and I have never been this disheartened by a small batch ice cream shop. Should be a 1 star, but I hope the owners wanted better, maybe this was just a rough night? You don't get into the ice cream business unless you are passionate about making people happy.

John Hong, MD

You can’t get better ice cream in the world than at MDI. We’ve only been to the stores in Bar Harbor so this is the first time Portland. It was excellent again. Plan to eat MDI everyday while here for the week

Luke Zatarra

Fast, Friendly, and clean. Like many others over the sweltering weekend my wife and I trudged through the heat to find some satisfying way of cooling down. Mount Desert Island did not dissapoint! The staff was super friendly despite probably having a crazy rush and dealing with overheated people all day, the line moved almost as swiftly as i did devouring the delicious and filling ice cream i got. My wife got good ol' chocolate and i got the sea salt caramel both of which were the perfect choice for helping us survive the endless heat. So, needless to say.. this place is awesome and you should go. 😂

Hima Rekha Pamidimukkala

Amazing flavors and so unique. We tried thai chilli coconut, lemon and coriander , banana mollasses and viet coffee. Lemon coriander is the winner. Do try out their unique flavours.

Mitchell Lombard

Pretty good overall. The flavors were hit and miss, but the ones that were good were really good. Hits: Cookies and cream, Baked apple, salted caramel. Misses: Mint chocolate (absolutely awful). White chocolate raspberry.

Aaeia Naess

The lady manning the shop seemed rather sad (hope you feel better if you see this) but the flavors were daring and inventive and the Four Oranges of the Apocalypse was the single best ice cream I have ever had, I was in ecstasy for an hour afterwords. Just don't get it in a cone because you want the aftertaste to be solely the ice cream. It was complex, subtle, just... oh my.

Jenny F

Very huge portion for a double! Taste soooo good and cheap. Love it! Friendly staff too

Terry Schnurr

By fat the best ice cream I’ve ever had! The double was enormous! Great selection of unique delicious flavors. I have to go back again tomorrow! Love it!

Jonathan Morgan

Absolutely amazing ice cream and sorbet! They have classic flavors and many you've never even dreamt of like Mango Jicama Habanero sorbet, Sherry Catalana ice cream, Blackberry Coriander Streusel, and so much more. Generous, as well. The 'single' is actually two scoops and goes up from there. Well worth the visit if you're in town.

Joseph Drazek

Great tasting ice cream and friendly staff. Try "The Dude"! Delicious, custom flavor. A bit pricey, but worth the experience

Steve Elefson

Delicious ice cream, innovative flavors, nice servers. The kulfi flavor was sooo good. Adults and kids all enjoyed what they got. Generous serving sizes too.

Gerard Hamilton

We went on an especially crowded day and they still did very well processing the line of people. The Blueberry Sour Cream Crumble and Butterbeer were delectable to the end. A must-visit for anyone that likes ice cream (everyone)!

Amanda Del Bove

2 scoops: Blueberry sour cream crumble flavor and peanut butter - unbelievable combination. Super fresh, menu always different each time I visit and always surprised at the flavor ideas

Rob S

The Maine Sweet Cream and Girl Scouts flavors were both interesting and delicious. Staff was fast and friendly and the price is very reasonable.

Pamela Little

I've never been disappointed. Amazing flavor choices and great service. Just don't expect basic van choc straw flavors. They are never boring or bland, never. Go there, eat ice cream.

Hemant B

Really Interesting flavors all around in the menu. I tried the Cereal Milk Ice cream and the Thai Chilli Ice Cream. Cereal Milk has actual cereals left overs in this. It was one of my favorite flavor. and then there was Thai Chilli it was a wild one. This is Milky and in the end it sorta burns your throat on the way down. I would suggest if you visit this and you buy anything or not, but do try the #thaiChilliIcecream.

Lara Hirner

Out of this world good! I had sea salt caramel and cinnamon cardamom, and my bf had blueberry sour cream and apple honey. Surprisingly good, and we consider ourselves ice cream snobs!

Jen B.

This is the best icecream ever. The best icecream, Mt Desert icecream in Maine, makes their own flavors ... and their icecream is very individual. Each flavor is delicate and amazing. In my quest for the best icecream, they have absolutely won as best icecream.

Jason Trease

Absolutely best ice cream in town! Homemade interesting flavors and classics as well! Their hot fudge is phenomenal!

Jennifer Hutchins

The flavors are amazing!! Tons of gluten free options <3 No seriously, ALL the flavors, they're amazing!!

E S

I've tried bunch of homemade icecream places, but so far this one is my favorite! Their icecream is really delicious! I hope one day they will open icecream store in Boston, MA :)

Christopher Oleary

The ice cream is good but they are REALLY struggling with service. 45 min to scoop 4 scoops of ice cream for the 4 people in front of us in line. I can see them standing back there. What the heck are they doing?

Brandon Bellanti

Some of the best ice cream available. I'd had it before in Acadia, and it was as good as I remembered. A perfect afternoon stop.

Pearse Lenz

Tremendous ice cream, especially the lemon curd coriander

Jade Chang

The honey sea salt was perfect. The balance between sweet and salt!

Laura Sanzel

Amazing flavors. Pretty little storefront and super friendly service. You can get 2 flavors on a small co e which is the way to go since you'll want to try them all.

Melissa Mascaro

The Chocolate Mint Oat based ice cream is some of the best i've ever had, worth the stop!

Dakota Bates

Wonderful ice cream. Worth the wait! The Buttermint and the Sweet Cream were Devine. The flight was perfect for the occasion!

Akshay Dongarwar

Check out Chocolate and Coffee! Delightful

Anh Pham

Awesome ice cream and sorbet with unique flavor options and toppings. Friendly staff. Non dairy options. No restroom. Limited space inside - can get cramped at prime time. Prepare to fight.

Ben Kavanaugh

It’s basically a storefront/outpost of the main location but they have host of interesting flavor combinations that are fairly priced considering the quality and the location. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

Joseph DeMartin

I love thier ice cream. It is a dense rich ice cream, and the flavor combinations are creative and delicious! This is a must visit.

jay money

Had the dude (white russian) ice cream. So good! I love their out of the box thinking when it comes to their flavors. This ice cream place will be around for a long time.

Victoria Venable

Very very yummy ice cream and cute quirky shop

Andy Klepack

Rolled the dice on lemon curd coriander and it was fantastic. Great texture and flavor. Lives up to the hype.

Nick

Very adventurous flavors, highly recommend this late night ice cream spot!

Grace Crawford

Worth it to wait in the long line. So many unique flavors. Don’t skip the Thai chili coconut!

Octobers World

Great ice cream! Creamy goodness. Cranberry Bliss, Cookies & Cream, Chocolate flavors were AMAZING!

Alexander Levy

Really great flavor selection. The staff was quick to help me try different flavors (coffee and praleine were best), and very friendly. Would go back.

Adam Wetterhan

The ABSOLUTE beat ice cream I have had. And I live in a city with a plethora of gourmet ice creams. Great and diverse / wacky flavor list, great and helpful staff

Christopher Morlier

Some of the best ice cream anywhere, with lots of different and interesting flavors.

Anna Swoboda

Delicious flavors and a great central location. Recently tried the caramelized white chocolate ice cream and would highly recommend it!

Paul

Hands down... the best ice cream I have ever had. The flavors are unique, well crafted and out of this world.

Anna Hawkins

Stopped in for ice cream in the evening after walking around Portland all day. It really hit the spot. The blackstrap banana is very good.

Amar Rao

Fantastically inventive flavors like cinnamon cardamom and molasses blackstrap banana would have me coming back week after week - If I lived in Portland!

Mike Capsambelis

Delicious! I had a scoop of the butterscotch miso, but I tasted my kids' flavors and they were all amazing.

James Denz

I love their Ice Cream. My favorite is Bay of Figs. I was there with the extended family and everyone found a flavor that they loved.

Shawn Burke

Great ice cream and really friendly service. Would highly recommend for an after dinner destination.

Susan Stemper

Closed today. Hours aren't posted at this time. When they're open, the ice cream is great.

David Fiorenza

The Nutella and salted caramel are really good. Good amount of flavors to pick from. Available in Portland and Bar Harbor

ashley zimmelman

The blackstrap banana flavor is out of this world. Easily one of the best ice cream flavors I've ever tasted.

Sabrina B

Awesome Vietnamese coffee ice cream! Great unusual flavors. I’ll crave this ice cream when I’m home.

Victor Vuong

Lots of amazing flavors! We had to get the 4 flavor flight because we just couldn't decide.

Jolie Giacomo

I scream for ice cream & art. Volia Cinnamon & Cardomom is one flavor Nomnom Khulfi - Pistachio, Saffron & Cardomom on a waffle cone. Different Refreshing DELICIOUS!!!

Amanda Mack

Great flavor selection, huge scoops, great texture!

Adrien Boudreau

Low key ice cream place with small but good variety of tasty flavors. Right in there old Port. Friendly folks.

Andrew Shedd

This place has the B E S T ice cream! They use organic cream... S O good! My favorite is the Maine Sea Salt Caramel.

Joanna Wong

Unique and very tasty ice cream flavors offered here. Open late for all your nighttime munchies.

Madeline Browne
