I've been wanting to try this cute local ice cream shop featuring Maine dairy since we moved to…read moreBiddeford this winter, and now that it is summer we finally went. I was thrilled they had strawberry rhubarb crisp ice cream and my husband got coffee cookie - both were fantastic. The service team was super friendly and fast and the ice cream shop is nice and cool and cute inside with plenty of seating. I highly recommend. We will be going back to try the mint chip with the spruce tips, sounds intreguing!!!

I just returned home from having ice cream at Veranda St…read more After years of patronage at all Beals locations, I can now say with certainty.. I will never go back. I just paid $9.13 for the smallest, medium ice cream I have ever been served AND by the most SMUG young ladies. I understand you can't give the house away, but the cost of the ice cream, the outrageous up-charge for sprinkles, the $.20 for the extra dish came to $9.13. It was my choice to leave the extra change as tip.... In total..... $10.00. I've seen child size ice creams larger than what I was served. Going forward, I will be taking my business to other local shops, like Sammy's Scoops or Twisted Swirls. Local businesses that truly appreciate my patronage. Thank you for being part of our community, but I'm done with Beals.

Love the staff and the ice cream. The service was always so…read morepolite and patient as I never can decide what I want but I kind of always end up with the same choice. Coffee or oreo or a mint ice cream. I love the dish with 3 scoops and still ask for a sugar cone. They done seemed bothered by it. I only wish there was more sitting room for me and friends to meet up and chill while enjoying the delicious creamy ice cream. I recommend this stand especially after eating delicious Asian food from nearby

Our family has been going to this seasonal ice cream shop for many, many years. Today we were…read moreinspired to stop when we saw that they had banana soft serve ice cream as their flavor of the week wanted to get some creativity in with what to do with this fun flavor. One Sundae was topped with caramel and crunch coat topping. The other Sundae had both the strawberry and the pineapple toppings. WOW! TWO VERY DIFFERENT FLAVOR PROFILES BUT THEY WERE BOTH AMAZING!! My very favorite soft serve flavor is their pistachio but banana is definitely going to be giving some serious competition!! Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you pick - from a simple dish of their ice cream to one of their sundaes. Their waffle cones are really good too. Beware!! Their portions are very generous - a medium is most definitely a large! Dairy Joy accepts cash only but they do have an ATM machine right there. The staff is always very friendly and willing to offer up wonderfully creative suggestions.

Does it get more local than a scoop shop in a neighborhood untouched by tourism? I just don't think…read moreit does; if you've ever used Ocean Ave to get from Forest to Washington, chances are you've seen the small white building with colorful, albeit limited signage offering up ice cream. 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.

The staff member answered our questions, and our order came up pretty quickly.

I couldn't finish the "small" portion - it's a lot of ice cream! My partner had a milkshake, and I had a Vanilla-Oreo-Reese's ice cream dish, all for under $10. We loved how quaint Caddy's was. 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.
