A delicious hometown treat! The hard serve was rich and creamy with the perfect amount of flavor. Perfect for a hot summer stroll through downtown Ellsworth. Be sure to get the homemade waffle cone! Can't wait to go back and try a milkshake. read more

Mortons Moo Homemade Ice Cream - "Small" Fudgin Curmudgeon on the homemade waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

My wife and I made it our mission to try as many ice cream shops as possible while in Maine and this was our first stop. The outside is super cute! They have a tiny patio near the front door where you can grab a blanket if you need and hang out while you eat your ice cream. They have additional high top seating around the front of the building as well. There are an incredible amount of options inside so if you have decision paralysis, get readyyyyyy. The staff was very patient while we thought and thought and thought. After careful deliberation, I ordered the Coffee Heath Bar hard serve in a waffle cone (that they make there!!!) and my wife ordered Nana's Ginger in a cup. Both were amazing! The coffee heath was so well made; creamy and dreamy. The ginger was so light and refreshing! I almost switched but the coffee was too good to give up. If you're in Ellsworth and are craving something sweet, head into Morton's Moo! You will not be disappointed. read more

we came by here before heading into acadia national park. really good ice cream! we got three flavors - fudgin curmudgeon (which is a super intense chocolate), choco pb, and blueberry. blueberry was by far my favorite but all the flavors were good. the ice cream here is very thick texture-wise and you can tell they use good ingredients. only downside is the wait - the line wasn't even very long but it took forever to get our ice cream - i think better line management would improve the experience a lot. read more

Mortons Moo Homemade Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

It's hard to think of how an ice cream place could be bad. This local ice cream store has cute ambiance and good ice cream. Serving sizes are spelled out by scoop (which is helpful) and the flavors are unique and varied. We all enjoyed ice cream in cups or cones. There is a pay it forward bulletin board to take a $ or leave a $, and I found that to be a nice touch. read more

Mortons Moo Homemade Ice Cream - Pay it forward bulletin board - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

What a super fun place to go for some ice cream! It's like they read my mind, I'm visiting from out of town and wanted some affogato.. and that's exactly what I got! I chose coconut ice cream with it and it was delicious! The young man was super nice talking to us about the area and how they make their ice cream. My son got a cup of coffee ice cream and hubby got a double dip of ice cream but not sure what kind. They have a good selection of candies, gifts, bakery items, and souvenirs. They also have a super fun outside area with tables and chairs to enjoy for nice cream. I'm definitely coming back next year! read more

I had a combination of butterscotch and chocolate chip ice cream with extra chocolate chips. Delicious!

Amazing!!! Cute little ice cream shop with some outdoor seating. Also close to the park! The soffogato was AMAZING!!! Such good, quality ice cream, espresso and hot fudge on top. The best!! My husband got a gluten free brownie sundae. So good! And my little boy had a kiddie cup of vanilla. The staff was helpful and polite. We had a great experience and would like to go back as soon as possible. read more

We stopped by to get an ice cream cone on my birthday. Real homemade strawberry ice cream! Yum!!

Lots of great hard ice cream flavors. They also had 2 soft service flavors: vanilla and maple I got a banana vanilla ice cream shake. My husband got the ginger ice cream, he said it was delicious. They also had coffee offerings. read more

Delicious ice cream and loved the ambiance. You can sit outside or at the "bar" to enjoy your ice cream. read more

Mortons Moo Homemade Ice Cream - Even the pots were charming. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

If only I could get better at taking photos before eating! This was some of the best ice cream we had in the area (Bar Harbor). Ellsworth is just a few miles away from Bar Harbor with an LL Bean outlet store, which is why we went this way and decided we wanted some ice cream, Morton's Moo did not disappoint! We both had the maple nut ice cream in a waffle cone and it was fantastic. We will definitely come back here during our next trip! The service was friendly and there's a porch with seating to enjoy your treat. read more

If you're looking for ice cream anywhere near Ellsworth, it is worth the drive into town for their sweet treats. Many times, after spending a few hours on the trails at Acadia, I drive straight here. I always get the Fudgin' Curmudgeon in a shake w/ hot fudge. As far as I know, there is no better chocolate shake in the world anywhere. My summer does not begin until I've had this shake at Morton's Moo. My partner always samples a couple of things before deciding, and is always happy with the result. There is plenty of parking across the street. When it is crowded, you may have to wait outside on the porch or on the stairs up to the porch. Once you get inside, the air conditioning is great, and there are plenty of fun decorations including an overhead model train. The servers are always patient and professional. Once you have your ice cream, you can sit inside, or on their porch, or stroll the main street in downtown Ellsworth. Morton's Moo is the perfect post-hike respite. read more

Cute ambiance and yummy flavors!! Their homemade waffle cones were also super yummy! The service was also very kind

The unique flavors had us coming back for more! Visited 3 times. The scoops are so generous. We love that the flavors are intense but not too sweet. Every time we were there, we saw a steady stream of customers with many being locals. Definitely a favorite spot. read more

Super Expensive and Not THAT Good. We have lived here for many years and went one time... that was all it took. This is DEFINITELY a tourist trap. Service needed an upgrade then, not sure about it now bc we have never went back. read more

Great creamy ice cream! The menu had about 10-15 flavors listed so I wish they had a couple more options, but I really liked the 2 that I tried! The options were also very unique which I thought was fun. I like trying new creations! The place itself was also adorable and the workers were super friendly! read more

My favorite place to get ice cream milkshakes in Ellsworth and MDI. They have a variety of ice cream flavors and desserts for every discerning palate. Service is always friendly and attentive. During the summer, there may be a line out the door but it is always worth the wait. read more

Gorgeous and decadent ice cream! We'll be back! Lovely porch to sit and indulge and friendly "scoopers"! read more

My boyfriend & I generally avoid visiting a restaurant/establishment twice during vacation so we get the most out of our trips, but Morton Moo's ice cream was so good we stopped by on back to back days!Definitely one of the best spots in Ellsworth! read more

Ice cream was good! Plenty of flavors, coffee, and pastries. Plenty of parking across the street and prices were fair. Staff was nice and patient as I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted. Luckily for me, my girlfriend (whose bday we were celebrating!) decided we were gonna get 5 scoops and try them all!!! Double dark chocolate -YUUMMMM coffee- always a good choice Pistachio- super good, loved the actual pistachio bits Maine blueberry- kind of a no-brainer, YOU GOTTA GET THIS! Dulce de leche- this is the only mediocre flavor, too sweet. Also got a double espresso and made an affogato out of that too sweet dulce scoop! Made it work, I'm no quitter (esp when it comes to ice cream!) read more

I must say that this was one of the best ice cream places I've ever tried--and let me assure you, I have tried 100s. It's a good sized ice cream shop with several varieties of ice creams and sorbets. They also have baked goods, but we did not try any of those. My husband ordered the peanut butter and chocolate shake and I had the dark chocolate ice cream in a homemade waffle cone. The waffle cone was extra, but it was absolutely incredible. It had a hint of cinnamon and was freshly baked. The consistency of the ice cream was almost like a custard, it was so smooth. Loved this place with their courteous, over worked staff. read more

Not embarrassed to say we went here 3 times during our week long stay in Ellsworth! Hands down BEST whoopie pies in town... and milkshakes... and ice cream. Extremely friendly staff as well. read more

Ice cream was the perfect thing for the heat wave. Service with a smile by a local youth.

It was an ok experience. The waffle cones are flimsy and mine didn't hold together. I had to ask three times to get a bowl so that it didn't fall apart and land on the floor. read more

Hice una visita rápida en julio 2021. Hay estacionamiento libre de costo al cruzar la calle. Las porciones, sabores y costos de los helados son buenas. El helado de chocolate y strawberry estaban exquisitos. La única razón por la que no le doy 5 estrellas es porque el servicio puede mejorar. La empleada nos trató con indiferencia. read more

We were looking for good ice cream places around the hotel we are staying at and this came up so we gave it a try. Maine is known for their blueberries so we tried their blueberry ice cream and it was SO delicious (and not too sweet). Even my mom who doesn't really like ice cream ate so much of it. I'm not sure how the other flavors are but definitely try the blueberry flavor! The workers were really polite as well. There is seating outside so you can enjoy the nice weather and a free parking lot across the street. read more

My family would spend a week each summer in Ellsworth, and this was our go-to dessert place! Morton's Moo is much more than your average small ice cream parlor. They have a fantastic selection of flavors and friendly staff. Not to mention the really cool model trains that they display! Unfortunately, this past summer was the last for my crew, so I am sure going to miss this place. read more

Best ice cream we have had in a while! We came in on a Friday in October, which is off season, and got their 5 for 5 deal! Holy cow! Maine blueberry stole the show, with their pistachio coming in second, double dark chocolate third, and then coffee and dulce de leche were not winners. I think their strawberry and mint chip would have been my choices instead. The place is super cute. Great parking. My gf also ordered an espresso then made an afogato with a scoop and a half and was in heaven! Great stop! read more

CUTE place and the fudgin' curmudgeon (quadruple chocolate) ice cream is really great. Highly recommend.

The ice cream was delicious and the staff were so friendly. This place is very family friendly between the wide selection of desserts that aren't ice cream to the super friendly staff. The atmosphere was so happy inside that I left with a smile on my face. read more

This ice cream was delicious! I didn't like it quite as much as Mount Desert Island Ice Cream in Bar Harbor, but still a delight. I got coconut and cookie dough; if I went back, I'd probably get mint or something in place of the cookie dough, which I wasn't super impressed with. The coconut was DIVINE. read more

My husband and I were hankering for our annual "end of summer" ice cream, and were trying to think of a place in Ellsworth, as we were driving through it on our way home. I had a vague remembrance of a place that offered it in downtown Ellsworth, and we happened to stumble on this gem!! Just a warning if this is a concern for you - it's something I always notice since my husband's mobility is not what we would want it to be. There are stairs involved in getting into this place! I didn't see a ramp of any sort - at least not on the front of the place, and if I missed it, please let me know. My only other complaint about Morton's Moo has nothing to do with the product, and everything to do with what annoys me about SO MANY other restaurants, etc: they do not have a menu available online. There is a picture of one on their FB page, but it was inaccurate. I understand that menus change frequently, but the flavors - or meals, in the case of a restaurant - should ALWAYS be up to date online!! However, it's just what you want an ice cream parlor to be! I can't say enough good things about it! It's located in what seems to be an older - but well cared for house. There's a big veranda, where you can sit and enjoy your treat, and the inside is colorful and inviting; the staff warm and friendly. As with all ice cream places - and I'm most familiar with those that sell Gifford's because Maine - there are unusual names for flavors, about which I quizzed the lovely woman who waited on me, finally settling on butter pecan for my husband, and nutty bovine for me. We each got a small scoop, in a dish, with a sugar cone on top (I can't do without a sugar cone, which I then crushed into the ice cream). It wasn't cheap, and frankly, other places offer a MUCH bigger scoop for the same money. And I generally tend to go for quantity over quality in most things. But NOT THIS!! This was EXCELLENT ice cream - with or without the extras that were a part of it. Nutty bovine is a chocolate/coconut flavored ice cream, with chopped almonds and chocolate chips - essentially, a rich, creamy Almond Joy! I have to say, I'm not that much of an ice cream snob - it's hard to go wrong with ice cream, really. But this stood out as just an exceptional produce at the base of it - the ice cream itself was smooth and creamy and had LOADS of flavor! Needless to say, we will be returning!! Before we were very far into our treat, we were heartily wishing they were open year round!!! Go eat their ice cream!! Life is uncertain - eat dessert first! read more

Morton's Moo is a place where you can find one of the best ice cream experiences because of the high quality products and the personable service from the owners and staff. After making a few turns off the main road, you come up to a two story house with red doors where you enter into a wild color splash interior along with ice cream flavors to invigorate your taste buds. My single scoop ($3) of the homemade Maine blueberry was a true reflection of the natural tart and sweetness. Steve made every customer feel welcomed. There were customers who came in to enjoy desserts while sitting at the counter. My only regret ... not ordering a double scoop! So stop by if you're passing by from Acadia National Park or just because it's that's good. read more

Maine is known for lobsters, but another treasure of the most northeastern state is their ice cream. It's fresh, delicious, and the perfect treat for summer. Best of all its a local product, and it doesn't get any more local than Morton's Moo in Ellsworth. It's so homey that it looks like one is entering someone's home through the front porch. Its a quaint little ice creamery with a lot of personality - colorful walls accompanied by a rainbow of ice cream colors and flavors, many of which are seasonal and listed on the dry erase board on the wall. There isn't a ton of room for seating, but there are some high chairs at the counter. In terms of classic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry, they're all consistently delicious and creamy. Shoot for another interesting combination like the uber popular Maine blueberry, which is smooth and more tart than I expected. In some circles, this might be considered perfection on a cone. I'd be inclined to agree. Morton's is a family owned establishment and the folks running the joint are as nice as one can be. They're generous with providing samples and are always working on something new. The moo of the Maine cows and the magnificent flavors of Morton's have been a wonderful treat for an out of towner like me. read more

It was amazingly cute little place. The staff was polite. I ordered a pineapple smoothie. I don't know what I received, but it was bitter and caramel colored. read more

What a fabulous place with about 40 flavors of homemade ice cream and locally owned, this is the only location. The owners just happen to love ice cream and make people happy. I had never seen Baklava flavor before and it definitely was a home run. It is a block off Main Street across from the free public parking lot. read more
