    coastal cookie and cookie dough ice cream
    Julia C.

    love that this is a family owned local shop. it's a walk up service there's no seating inside, so we took our icecream to the pier to eat! we ordered the coastal cookie in a waffle cone and the cookie dough in a sugar cone. most of the ice creams were homemade which i loved. the coastal cookie dough was fantastic and had big chunks of cookie dough throughout. the cookie dough icecream was mainly just cookie dough with a little ice cream lol still good though.

    I came here around 8pm on a Saturday night. There was a line a little bit out the door, but it moved quickly. There's cute merchandise inside and a big list of ice cream flavors. Seems like they are also known for their cookies and serving ice cream sandwiches with their cookies. Not much room for standing/eating inside. A lot of yummy flavors but only certain ones are marked as "homemade" - not sure what makes the homemade and non-homemade ones different. I got Oreo in a cake cone, and it was delicious! Perfectly creamy. I think I paid around $6 for it. Very centrally located spot downtown.

    As I was walking around the city and needed a little snack, so I thought I'd try this ice cream shoppe. The shoppe is quaint with approximately 20 options of the ice cream to choose from. I decided to try the Maine Blueberry (2 scoops). The service was okay, seemed like I was interrupting her from her phone time. I would have enjoyed seating and enjoying the ice cream but I didn't see any tables. The ice cream was good.....

    Stop by after dinner because I wanted something sweet. It was definitely a chilly day, but this ice cream was perfect. It was so fresh. The taste was amazing and the shop itself is absolutely adorable. The young lady who was working was so friendly. And she was super helpful when we were selecting flavors. I will definitely be back in the summer.

    After walking around for more than an hour, this was a perfect spot to get some delicious ice cream. This is a beautiful small store, with some space to sit inside the store. In the other corner they have some store swags for sale. They had about 20 flavors in the menu. Three different cup sizes were available. The price was very generous, small for only $5.40. We picked the vanilla ice cream with m&m topping. Our whole family loved the flavor and texture of the ice cream. It was dense and really creamy. No icy patch in the middle. There were two teenagers at the register. Both were very attentive and gave everyone a friendly service. Lots of people outside the store were hanging out and eating the ice they got from the store.

    Walking in downtown area and decided to pop in to get some ice cream. We got a vanilla with m&m. Very creamy and silky. Great flavor and portion. A lot of people going in and out. They must be popular. The staff were efficient and nice. Flavors and toppings decorations on the wall. Take-out only. Some merchandise of the brand to purchase if you like. I feel all the food places in this downtown have their own merch to sell. One way to make more money I guess. Overall great spot for ice cream and snacks. If I return, I'll try other flavors.

    Right off Commercial Street you'll find this ice cream shop, had to get one since we saw everyone walking around with ice cream cones. They had a decent selection of flavors, we tried their Maine Tracks and of course your originals, Vanilla and Chocolate. Decided on kid sizes since we just wanted to try it but the servings are generous which is a plus in my book. The ice cream itself was just okay but the kids loved it.

    My review is for their food truck. We chanced upon their food truck at the Fitzpatrick Stadium while waiting for the Hearts of Pine soccer game to start. I was intrigued by the Banana Nilla Swirl which hubby also got. We got both orders in a cone. They serve the ice cream in a sugar cone which is nice. $6 was fair in a ballpark. The ice cream was delicious and we would certainly get it again. Didn't get a picture of the ice cream since it was raining :( Service was fairly quick though they did have a decent amount of people in line. Btw, they don't take cash at the food truck.

    After trying lobster rolls all throughout the city a dessert it in order. They have many selections in icecream and different ways you can get it. I had the snickerdoodle and cookies and cream icecream sandwich. The cookie was still warm which paired extremely well with the icecream. Usually when I have this the cookie is hard and it's annoying to eat but biting into this was effortless and smooth. The lobby is small so space is limited and mines can seem out the door but it is pretty fast.

    We walked by after dinner and saw the gorgeous ice cream scoops and massive cookies people were eating, so decided to wait in line and try some on our first night in Portland. The ice cream isn't anything to rave about, and we didn't even finish our cup of two scoops of ice cream. Workers are nice and service moves quick. Just wish they had standing tables so you don't have to stand awkwardly in the corner or outside to eat your treats.

    What a cute shop! We noticed a few ice cream places in this area of downtown but this one was recommended to us by our server at Luke's Lobster. The flavors are prominently posted but what I noticed first when walking in was the wonderful aroma of fresh-baked cookies! Had it been a cooler day I definitely would have ordered one (or more) but being that it was kind of hot and humid, we opted for ice cream. We got the black raspberry and it was a nice sized scoop and very thick and creamy. Perfect treat on a hot day to enjoy strolling the area.

    Super fast and friendly service! The store is super cute and well kept. The ice cream is top notch!! Creative and fun flavors. Delicious!! It's as good as Ben and Jerry's better. I totally loved the black raspberry one. Wow!! Get 2 scoops and try a couple. I hope to go back soon!

We were craving ice cream, and Zephyr popped up on Yelp. As soon as I saw their shaved ice and ice cream creations, I was intrigued. They reminded me of the incredible shaved ice desserts I'd enjoyed in Hawaii and across Asia. The shop itself is charming, with fun signage and a welcoming atmosphere. Every ice cream combination sounded tempting, but I finally settled on the chocolate pretzel and the orange creamsicle. Both were outstanding, and it's easy to see why they've been voted one of Portland's best. The staff were thoughtful and attentive, and the owner was especially welcoming. He told us he was a former bartender, which makes sense--every syrup is made in-house, as is the ice cream. That extra care and craftsmanship really shine through in every bite.

That's how amazing it was. And the owners are simply wonderful people. Happy to chat with you and eager to make your experience five stars. Crowds move quickly through and the vibes of the shop are very tropical, upbeat and welcoming. The staff were friendly and super helpful, especially since the options are overwhelming. Next time we visit Portland we will definitely be back. If you haven't tried this little shop, give it a try. Wonderful!!

However, I was in the mood for ice cream and this was calling me - so I decided to head in. Beal's is in a prime location in Old Port - right between Fore and Commercial Streets on a corner of a cobblestone alley. I went close to closing, so it wasn't crowded - though I can imagine being an ice cream shop in a seaside city they see a good amount of foot traffic during prime time. The interior is spacious with a decent amount of seating, plus some more outside. The decor is relatively simple with fun murals on the walls that add a pop of color. I decided to get a cup which came with my choice of two flavors - they had a good selection and I went with chocolate peanut butter cookie and another flavor that escapes my mind. The ice cream was fine - nothing too outstanding if I'm being honest but also not bad. Service was good, and overall I thought Beal's was fine. Nothing outstanding IMO but also nothing bad. If circumstances found me here again I wouldn't be mad.

Lived in Portland for years and never had a reason to come here when there's so many other (glamorous) options, but now living so close I just think this spot is super, duper charming. Yes, the prices are higher than at other places and I'm not entirely sure why, but this doesn't really bother me because the portions have always been enormous here, it's super convenient to where I live, there's never a wait, the staff is accommodating about wacky requests, they take credit cards, and the customer service is sometimes above and beyond what's becoming the norm downtown (I showed up once a few minutes after they had closed for the night, but they still let us order giant sundaes anyway!). They serve stuff from The Ice Cream Machine (out of Rhode Island, and distributed by Sysco) so it's not homemade or local even - I don't think it's the most delicious ice cream in the world, but it gets the job done and sometimes that's all you need (side note: their sundaes are awesome here; they know how to pour. on. the. hot. fudge!). Do I think this is a destination spot? Absolutely not. Is it ever going to make it on some national "Best of..." list that will drive hoards of people to it? Nope. Will I seek it out when I move away from the neighborhood? Can't say that I will. But is it a perfect spot for those Back Cove/The Pocket folks within walking distance? Yep. It's nice that in the state's biggest, busiest, trendiest city there are still places you can safely, quietly walk to get some ice cream with your family and enjoy it in a pristine park across the street only locals really know about.

Timing worked out well and we were doing a staycation in Portland and knew we needed to add a stop here one last time. Thankfully we got our names in on the waiting list early enough Friday and got sat as one of the last tables. We each had one last phenomenal drink; my wife and Apricot 75 that had a great tart kick of apricot and lemon. While I enjoyed their Chai Fashioned which spelt like a chai but had that boozy bourbon warming you'd expect. Dessert wise everything sounded good as always but we settled on two. The Goat Cheesecake and Pineapple Cake. The cheesecake was the perfect sweetness without being cloying and the blueberry sorbet on top paired so well. The pineapple cake was moist and tasted so good we needed to scrap the plate clean.
