Came and was pleasantly surprised by their option of non-dairy soft serve ice cream & flavors…read more Unfortunately it took 20+ mins to come out & was wrong. There was two people in our group, the dairy ice cream came out within minutes while I stood and waited as the rest of the line (10+ people) all received their various ice creams. No one else's order wrong. One lady who ordered after us even mentioned I had not received mine as she was getting hers, I had to go up to the window a second time after 5+ mins had passed (on top of the 10 I had spent waiting AFTER the other person in my party got their ice cream, 15 mins total by that point) and no one had updated me or brought my order. They finally told me they were "working on it sorry" and it came out multiple mins later, wrong size and not in a cone like I ordered. It's nice to see inclusivity with non dairy but maybe should be more upfront about how long you'll be waiting for it ...

I've been visiting Bresca with my family for a couple years and they always knock it out of the…read morepark! The flavors are homemade and always rotating. I've never had a bad flavor! My favorite regular flavor is Cheesecake w/ Raspberry & Graham Crust, but I'm also crazy about the vegan Coffee w/ Chocolate Cookie Crumble + Caramel Swirl. I like to boat over and have ice cream at lunch time on the weekdays, so hopefully at least one of those will come on the rotation before I head home! They used to have an option where you could get your ice cream on a brioche--it would be cool to see that return someday. Remember to bring cash as they are cash-only, and bring your patience as there are often hordes of children trying to figure out what they want (and what they can afford) while they order.

Five star ice cream and one star ambiance…read more This is a "if you build it they will come" kind of a place in rural New Gloucester with some of the best home made ice cream Maine has to offer. Creative, delicious flavors, creamy texture, and tons of vegan options. I had a scoop of their signature Honey Bee and a scoop of Cherry Pie (vegan). Both were amazing. I ordered it on a sugar cone and was told no--they only serve two scoops on a cake cone so I got a dish, which used to come with a little pizzelle, but doesn't anymore. These were just the start of the "NOs" at Bresca and The Honey Bee. This place is *loaded* with signs telling you "NO"! A lot of it is what you would expect: NO smoking, NO vaping, NO open flames, NO going to the beach without paying, and also NO using the paddle boats without paying. Some of it is appears to be in response to specific, and infrequent bad behavior: NO throwing rocks, NO feeding the ducks, NO pushing on the dock, NO jumping off the slide, various rules about diapers on babies, NO unaccompanied children under 16? (this is an ice cream shack and swimming hole?), etc. Either way, the visual bombardment of the posted "NO -----" signs makes this place seem like they've missed the mark in creating a welcoming place people go to have fun and enjoy delicious ice cream. The signs with dozens and dozens of "NO" messages makes the place seem hostile. Despite feeling like we might somehow slip up and they might kick us out or call the cops, we did enjoy our ice cream and then upon throwing the cup out, were confronted with a "small trash only--NO pizza boxes" sign on the trash. What the heck?!

It was very icy which makes me question their cream to water ratio (although I know there are other things that can lead to an icier texture). Overall, my wife an I weren't fans.

You get that cute ice cream shop feel when you walk in. We love having both soft serve and hard ice cream options and the rest of the menu is endless -- so many choices outside just ice cream, from shakes to sundaes plus more! There are always new flavors to try whenever we come in! There is seating both inside and outside with plenty of parking along the sides of the building and in back. We love coming here to get our ice cream fix!

The staff member answered our questions, and our order came up pretty quickly. I got a vanilla soft serve hot fudge sundae with peanuts and cherries, and my partner got an Oreo creamy dreams (blizzard). Both were what we expected! The shop itself is standalone with a repurposed Big Boy holding an ice cream cone vs a burger. Old school and fun ambiance.

They have plenty of picnic tables to sit at. The service was great! Bonus points for allowing my partner to mix three flavors for the milkshake.

Well, Hodgman's is permanently closed now and Ruby Rose became The Log Yard, but it's just as good as the former business that occupied the same space! They always have interesting custard flavors on rotation and I love to get the mix-in option (similar to a blizzard). If none of the special flavors look interesting (rare), sweet cream with a mix-in is always a great fallback! I always look forward to visiting The Log Yard when I visit my parents in Maine.

Really good ice cream. The shop has no seating - it's really just about getting premium ice cream…read moreand then walking around Old Port afterward. I've tried the sweet cream, strawberry, callebut chocolate, and Maine blueberry. Sweet cream was solid. The strawberry is unique - seems to have very high strawberry content, so it ends up almost tasting like an ice cream-sorbet hybrid in comparison to say Haagez Dazs which is more cream-forward. The chocolate was also great. I was hoping that the Maine blueberry would essentially taste like a black raspberry ice cream but it just tasted like blueberry, which I suppose should come as no surprise. It was a little too sweet and not my favorite but maybe true blueberry-lovers would like it. I read a bit online about how they don't do samples in order to keep costs down and also keep people moving in and out of the shop quickly. It's an interesting model but ultimately it feels like they are prioritizing saving marginal costs at the expense of the experience of the customer. Maybe they save tens of thousands of disposable spoons by doing this, but when it comes to a person's individual experience in the store wanting to optimize getting a flavor they like, that gets sacrificed. Sort of opposite of customer-first. Some of their flavors are also pretty unique like lemon poppy seed with a jam mixed in and it's hard to anticipate what that'll be like. I also think a homemade waffle cone as opposed to the bought ones they have available would be a major upgrade here. Overall, great ice cream with a few things that could be better.
