I ordered the amarena gelato which is vanilla and cherries. What I got was definitely not gelato, not even close. It was gritty, dry and mealy in texture unlike a gelato which should be silky in texture. Furthermore, there was not a speck of cherry to be found. Waste of money. I took one bite and threw it out. Please don't advertise that you're serving gelato when it's not. read more

This place Doesn't exist. It must have closed. This was posted in 2025. The seating was still outside but the shop was clearly closed

This place is amazing. It's got a really cool and cozy vibe with amazing gelato and sorbetto. The lady up front was super nice and gave us a few pointers about the town as we are not from around there. Whether you're local or just stopping by, it's really a great spot. read more

Pretty neat place for good gelato that is open late during the season. They allow for two flavors in the small portion and are pretty generous with the scooping. I sampled both the vegan and non vegan toasted coconut before hand. I ended up choosing the non vegan toasted coconut and vanilla bean with hot fudge. It was mostly delicious but the last few bites were a bit ice-y. I wasn't sure why at first but saw that others had noted that perhaps it melted and refreezed. Given that I didn't notice this until my last few bites, I'll assume the best. The gelato wasn't necessarily the best I've had in terms of creaminess or flavor but it passed for being gelato. The lady at the counter was also quite friendly and did her best to sell her product. If I was in the area and needed gelato at 9:30pm, I'd drop by. But I wouldn't go out of my way for this gelato. read more

The ice cream was really good, a tad strange to my tastes but I enjoyed it as someone who doesn't really expand my tastes, I would recommend this place definitely, even for the ambiance, which made me feel like I was in a movie, and the girl working there was really nice. read more

Cute little old school ice cream shack. They make their own gelato and sorbetto. I'm not sure about their ice cream. Friendly owners and staff, and they stay open until 9:30...which is later than other sweet shops on Main Street. They also happen to be right next door to Cafe Miranda, which is awesome. read more

The strawberries and cream flavor was sweet, tangy, and quickly devoured, like a pint of farm fresh strawberries. A hidden gem in Rockland.

Cute establishment, lovely little garden area & they are totally on point with following Covid guidelines. However, lacking in the ice cream/gelato department. I had the hazelnut gelato with caramel topping. I've had gelato many times & this is not gelato. I'm not sure what the ingredients are, and if you told me it was vegan I might be more understanding. I couldn't get passed the texture- gritty & grainy. This was not smooth and creamy as gelato should be. The hazelnut flavor was actually okay. I thought maybe my flavor was off- but my friend said his scoops were 'tasty', although they were also grainy & gritty. Maybe it's freezer burned? Unsure, but sadly it was not the tasty treat I expected. read more

Delicious ice cream kind staff the ice cream had a really nice texture. They also do gelato and other stuff I have celiac so I cannot eat any gluten at all. They were wonderful about it and used a different scoop and scooped from a different part of the ice cream and there are only two things that are gluten there which are the brownie sundae and The cones read more

Whenever I come up to Maine, the two things on my must eat list are lobsters and blueberries. I prefer my lobsters steamed with fresh drawn butter and my Maine blueberries churned into ice cream. At Lulu's, this little ice cream shack tucked away in an ally behind Fog Bar and Cafe does one of the finer renditions of fresh wild Maine blueberry ice cream. They allow flavors to be split so I decided to double up my local fruit bounty with a combination of Maine blueberry and Maine raspberry ice cream. Likely using milk churned from local cows as well, the sweetness of the fruit comes through as distinct notes of sweetness/tartness with textures from the fruit still palpable on the tongue with the rich velvety ice cream providing a lingering contrast. Like some of the other sophisticated flavors offered daily (bourbon vanilla, gingery ginger, key lime pie, to name a few), the flavor combinations tend to veer towards not being cloyingly sweet so young kids may not be their biggest fans. One of the fun things I derive out of writing these reviews is doing a little background research when I come across something which I'm not familiar, and I often pick up a random fun fact or two which stays with me. On this occasion, I noticed that in addition to root beer floats, they offered a second option called the Moxie float. Since inquiring minds want to know, I asked the lady behind the counter what that was all about, and it's a local popular drink called Moxie soda topped with one's choice of ice cream or gelato. (nerd alert) Digging further, I learned that Moxie is a popular local soda created in 1876 by a doctor in Massachusetts which contained gentian root extract, and was patented for its reported medicinal benefits for curing insomnia and other neurological conditions. The gentian root has a distinct bitter note, which unsurprisingly is why it is one of the key ingredients for Angiostura bitters which are commonly used in a variety of classic cocktails. It is not only the official soft drink of Maine but curiously is now part of the Kirin Holdings Company of Tokyo, Japan. How often does one have the opportunity to partake in a sophisticated ice cream float which boasts that kind of pedigree in the humblest of spaces? The final fun fact that I found most interesting was that the advertising slogans for Moxie soda came to create the neologism for the word moxie, which we use in everyday language to describe someone with force of courage, determination, or nerve. All this to say that this little dessert shack packs a lot of moxie dishing out some creative sophisticated frozen sweets amidst the straight-forward New England charm in Rockland, Maine. Pro-tip: bring cash since there may be a minimum for credit card transactions despite the fact that the yelp site states they accept cards. read more

What a cute little ice cream shack off Main Street! They serve gelato, sorbetto, and ice cream. They also have vegan flavors! We tried the caramel sea salt, vanilla, pistachio, and ginger cardamom. All the flavors were delicious and so hard to choose from. I settled on the caramel sea salt gelato and loved it. It was a little airy and caramel flavor wasn't overwhelming. It had just the right amount of flavor and you could taste the sea salt. My daughter was thoroughly satisfied with her chocolate and vanilla mix (yes, they happily give you two flavors, even with a small) topped with mini Oreos and sprinkles. My husband enjoyed his vanilla smothered in hot fudge and my son loved his vanilla ice cream. So glad we found this little ice cream shack! read more

Tasty. Friendly. Fast. The perfect complement after a meal at Miranda next door. Picnic table only but shaded and enhanced by light music and natural shade. Ditto to Yelperian cheers regarding uber-creative flavors - the mashup of maple and vanilla was like throwing a bowl of Rocky Road against a maple tree, then promiscuously licking the bark. There enough flavors here to present all forms of PDICA, aka: public displays of ice cream affection. Easy to miss, but well worth the 1/2 block walk off the main strip. read more

Coming across the illuminated Lulu's at night was a bit of magic. The signage, the gelato & topping options - totally delightful. They were closed for evening so we went back and then back again. The option for a small serving with 2 flavors was marvelous. We didn't adore every flavor (hence the 4 stars) but it was such a special experience i didn't care, and thats saying a lot! If you've read Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus you must come by after dark. read more

Lovely location, friendly staff, intriguing flavors. But even for gelato, that was a small portion. And the ice cream portions were small, too, and far from the best we've ever had. Pretty disappointing. And I cannot support the use of plastic for the cups. The time for unnecessary plastic is over. read more

Great little ice cream shack with lovely seating area. Interesting flavors and toppings including vegan options. Dense creamy product -- they have their own product plus some from other sources. All options are made very clear. We were lucky to show up before the line! If one person orders something other than a cup or a cone (say a banana split or a shake) things can slow down rapidly. But on a beautiful summer night, it's all good. read more

Some of the most mind-blowing gelato I have ever had served out of a colorful little shack just off the main strip in Rockland. The owner was friendly and generous with flavor samples and info about the town. If I lived here I would be a regular. read more

I expect gelato to be a small portion and more expensive, however, the flavor and quality didn't justify the expense. Had I read the reviews beforehand I would have passed this place up: one reviewer mentioned the gelato tasting like it had melted and then refrozen and that's pretty accurate. read more

Small ice cream and gelato shack in town. Creative flavors - a big plus. Bourbon vanilla, key lime pie, gingery ginger, and more. My only small complaint is that they have one girl working there - they need two, otherwise the place is too slow. Outdoor seats and a big shade tree adds to the charm. read more

At least during the COVID world order (perhaps?), this is not the place to go for a scoop of regular hard ice cream. I ordered mint chocolate chip--gelato, because that seemed to be the only option--and threw it away before I even left the boundary of the eating area. I love gelato, but this wasn't a bit creamy; rather, it was grainy, ice-covered (freezer burnt?) and the mint tasted sour. My husband's was equally grainy and ice-frosted. Just not enjoyable at all. read more

Great icecream. I had the blueberry earlier in the evening and then came back After dinner for a blueberry milkshake. Very cute ice cream stand. Had a record player with a lot of classic music. read more

Good gelato but stingy small portions for the money they charge $5.25 My two scoops didn't even compare to a normal 1 scoop. Very disappointed!! Would not go back. Sorry Lulu!! read more

Very good ice cream and fudge sauce. Awesome service. It made us happy after a lame meal at another establishment. Thank you.

Yum !! This place is unique and delicious - would go here again for sure - the gelato was our favorite but the sorbet and ice cream were also amazing read more

We were craving ice cream after eating at Claws and wandering around Rockland. I chose chocolate caramel gelato thinking it would be rich. Also, the gelato is made here, whereas the ice cream is made by someone else. I wanted something fresh. I asked for a small, which is advertised " a scoop and a half". These are not typical ice cream scoops - more like soup spoons so right away I was a bit disappointed but thought, well the richness of gelato will make up for this. The disappointment deepened, as the gelato was not creamy, and in fact seemed as if at some point it had melted and been refrozen. You know that texture ice cream gets when it's been refrozen? And it had the freezer taste as well - when ice cream absorbs the taste of the carton it's in. So I'm thinking this stuff has been sitting in there a while. All this for $4.25. read more

Quite frankly, the single size ice cream scoop was disappointingly small especially considering the price. Maybe it was the person that was serving that evening. Limited number of ice cream flavors as well but I think the draw is the gelato and sorbetto. Our expert kid reviewers (9, 10, and 12 years old) were unimpressed when they compared to other ice cream joints, primarily based on value and not solely on taste. Otherwise, the ice cream was tasty and the chocolate gelato impressively rich. read more

Great little place and atmosphere but very expensive and very small portions. 2 of my kids wanted sundaes and that would have been $17 so I couldn't let them get what they wanted. I love that they use local supplies but other places do as well and the prices are not this high. We all left disappointed and actually walked to the candy shop In hopes of satisfying our sweet tooth after exploring the beautiful area. read more
