    What a fun ice cream shop! In Bellingham's Fairhaven neighborhood, this shop comes with bright colors, murals, and lots and lots of rubber ducks inside. Their ice cream flavors change daily. Ask the staff to sample a few before landing on one. Since they were out of vanilla black sesame, I ordered a scoop of cereal milk with hot fudge and rainbow sprinkles. With tip, my bill was over $8, but it was worth it. There's plenty of seating and two unisex restrooms in the back.

    Mallard Ice Cream rotates their flavors everyday and they have some very interesting ones. I love that they just have a bunch of rubber duckies around the place. I decided to get a single cup of hojicha ice cream and that was creamy deliciousness. It was nice to have on such a hot day!

    After dinner in Bellingham we wanted to ice cream and found Mallard ice cream on Yelp. It's a cute store with board games and rubber ducks. The service is great. I got Chocolate ice cream and loved it. Highly recommend Mallard if you are in Bellingham.

    Banana Split
    Estreya L.

    At Mallard Ice Cream the banana splits are seriously underrated. They load them up with generous scoops, tons of toppings, and everything tastes super fresh and high quality. For the amount you get, the price is actually really decent, especially compared to other dessert spots. It's one of those you can share, but honestly you might not want to. Eating inside is a great experience too. The decor is beautiful, the ambiance is chill, and there are plenty of places to sit even though it does fill up. Customer service is always fantastic

    Eff Baskin Robbins. This is the place for ice cream. Lots of fun flavor combinations and more samples to try. We settled on two flavors. 1) Super chocolate. This was really good. It was a nice intense dark chocolate flavor, but not too sweet. This was a perfect finish to our evening. 2) Cereal milk. This was awesome. Think a nice bowl of fruity pebbles. You let it soak and eat the cereal and then turn the milk into ice cream. I could eat a bowl of this daily. Thank you Mallard for making this happen!

    Ube cheese

    Such a fun place to get some ice cream. They have cute rubber ducks all over the place. The ice cream flavors are both typical and unique. They had a ube cheese flavor that I had to try, and they do give samples! I was going to get my normal coffee flavor, but I tried a sample of the ube cheese and cardamom. Both fantastic! They allow split scoops, so I was able to get both flavors. So, so tasty! The scoops are big, to me, so I couldn't finish but every bite was delicious! Def stop in if you're in the area.

    Such a cute shop! Line was long but so worth the wait. So many fun & interesting flavor combinations you want to try them all. I ordered the vanilla black pepper & it was oddly delicious.

    Wow, I came across some flavors I've never seen before like Thai lime ice tea and acerola berry. I opted for the honey almond butter and it didn't disappoint. Had some almond chunks and honey. So good! Service was quick and friendly.

    Super cool ice cream shop! I love ice cream shops that experiment with unique flavors. Mallard's even have the local school district involved and kids can submit their concoctions! I tried the "honey chamomile" - it was heaven!! The shop is huge, plenty of seating, and a ton of rubber ducks and even, canned sardines! Service was slower than I'm use to, but I'd imagine because everybody is sampling the unique flavors!

    Always fun to experience flavor extravaganza of unique and delicious proportions. Today didn't disappoint with crazy food flavors like pomegranate, ghost pepper and honey, or lavender brownie- which had the best brownie chunks ever. Ambiance is chill. Though it can get busy in a minute. Worth the detour no matter where your destination.

    Great dessert after having dinner at Bantam(they give you a 20% off coupon for here after having dinner). Walking in it's a fun atmosphere with plenty of seats. They have a rotation of ice cream. I like that you can come back and the menu can be completely different. The guy behind the register was nice and helped us make our decisions. I was between Super Chocolate and Honey Almond Butter, he recommended I go different and go with the honey Almond. My wife went out of her comfort zone and selected Key Lime(he also helped her decide). Mine was delicious like sounded weird but was perfect. My wife did not like hers much. I didn't either. It was tart, but also had crunchy stuff in it that did not taste like crust or cookie. We did not eat that one. Instead shared mine which was in a waffle cone. Great place to go after a good dinner. I'm not an ice cream guy, but enjoyed it very much

    Line was out the door but service was pretty quick. Fun, unique flavors and a super fun vibe.

    I may have been a little slow to relate the rubber ducky theme with the name Mallard. The lines are often long here which gives you some time to enjoy the little ducks and find some favorites. You also have a chance to look over the list of current flavors and decide what to sample and what to eat! I like their "indecision" options for 2 or 3 half scoops. Can't decide on which two? Don't worry they have that covered too. The lines do move fairly quick. You can sample a flavor first if you like (with metal spoons!) and then make your order. I did the rum raisin and the sour cream gingerbread. Not a lot of flavor with the rum raisin, but enjoyed the gingerbread.

While out exploring Bellingham, my friend wanted Ice cream, and this came up as nearby - so off we went. Right within Waypoint Park Cryo rolls is part of a complex. The two young ladies eagerly greeted us and our pups as we came in and explained to us how it all worked. We picked from the available flavors and asked if we liked toppings added. They were very nice about accommodating and customizing for my friend who is vegan. I went with the "Trix" which was exactly how it sounded...and tasted! If you've ever had a bowl of trix and the milk starts to taste like the cereal as you're eating it, that's exactly how this tasted. It was great. Took me back to childhood. They were also kind enough to hook us up with some "pup cups" for our little guys which they definitely enjoyed. What I really like is how well the ice cream holds. It was pretty warm out and I was able to give my pup his pup cup and was able to eat my ice cream without it melting out. If I'm up here again, I'll be sure to stop in hopefully the Trix will remain a main offering.

    Great service and amazingly creamy and decadent ice cream…read more It was so fun watching the staff create our ice cream rolls. My sister asked if she could have her Reese's ice cream modified to include the mint flavoring from the mint cookies and cream, and they were able to do that for her. There were plenty of vegan and gluten free options as well. Nice kids play park just outside and a riverside area to take a stroll while eating ice cream. Plenty of seating options inside as well. I got the strawberry cheesecake ice cream rolls. They were terrific. Perfectly creamy, and the freshly ground in graham crackers added a nice texture. It was very rich but not overly sweet, and made for the perfect after-dinner treat.

I found that some local Sprouts stores were carrying it. I really like it. Like anything, when checking out something for the first time, stay as basic as possible. I tried the Vanilla Bean. All of their flavors display "Full Strength" in front of the flavor name. This is to drive home the point of their concept... no air in the ice cream. Hence, this is very dense ice cream! Of course, they also use excellent ingredients to make this great stuff. I am a fan. It is very concentrated in flavor. It also has a nice mouth feel, very smooth. Loved the Vanilla Bean. Just picked up some Full Strength Raspberry Chip. It's ok, but I prefer the Vanilla Bean. The raspberry is a little on the sweet side.... but still the same silky mouth feel. I am on the lookout for the Vanilla Chocolate Chip, which should be great. Looking forward to more Vanilla Bean and trying some other flavors. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We were walking to dinner and they said we should try the shop out. Carpe diem and obviously it was a sign that we needed go ans get dessert before dinner. Plus, we were gonna share the ice cream so not as bad right? I tried a sample of the mixed berry and coffee flavors and fell in love. The ice cream was so creamy. It was perfect that they do half scoops so I got both flavors. I mean, we didn't wanna ruin dinner. It was perfect! I wish we had this shop in the Bay! It's sooooo good! Gotta come back and visit!
