The lines barely moved and there were longgggg lines and such confusion :( FYI- *cash only ** The flavors we all picked didn't seem as special and enjoyable. I don't think we would wait again those extremely disorganized lines that were all over in zig zags with no structure. While I/ we enjoyed talking to others in line- everyone was constantly making jokes about what was going on and where the lines formed and all. Way too much confusion for us and we all agreed on plenty of other places to go next time. Also, a bunch of flavors were not available and the signs did not reflect that so some of us couldn't get what flavors we wanted. After waiting 30 + minutes we all left frustrated, unhappy, and dissatisfied with our ice cream. :(

An annual must-visit to enjoy a banana split sundae with 3 flavours! Sitting down in their amazing old-school(but clean) swivel seating, everything about it is so perfect. Pro-tip, if you want more room to eat the sundae prior to melting and spilling over in the glass, ask for it in a to-go container, it will give you more time to eat it all, as it melts. It's a gem!! Always love the staff, as well! They are so extremely friendly and kind!! 10 star service!!! I remember coming here as a kid, with their penny candy shelves, it's of course been a while since that was a thing. I notice small updates every year, and it makes me thrilled to see it!! So cool always, to see the old taffy machine going! The window shopping joy is so historic, you don't really get that anywhere else!

My husband had a chocolate hot fudge sundae and I had a raspberry Oreo hot fudge sundae. The ice cream is homemade and the portions are large. I love that the sundaes are made in metal sundae dishes. It reminds me of my childhood, very nostalgic. The Goldenrod is a York landmark. I believe it has been around since 1896. It is an old fashioned restaurant, ice cream parlor and confectionery. Their saltwater taffy is the very best. We always take home 4-5 one pound boxes:2 for us and 2-3 for family and friends. My husband's favorites are the chocolate, the creamsicle and lime. Friends and family love the peanut butter, banana and vanilla. I always choose blueberry, molasses and their peanut butter. The staff is top notch:welcoming, accommodating and friendly. The Goldenrod is one of my favorite places to visit in Maine!

They have updated their sign to just say shaved ice, so hopefully, Google will update soon. It's shaved ice in the front and a skate shop in the back. There is a list of flavors to choose from and I ended up getting strawberry and pineapple in a flower cup. The ice is very soft, fluffy, and melts quickly. The syrup flavorings are drizzled on and will make it's way down to the bottom of your cup. It's not overly sweet, so you don't feel gross after it. It comes with straws for you to sip up your refreshing ice as you walk down the shops of downtown york. If you're looking for something cool and sweet for the afternoon and you don't want ice cream, shave ice is the way to go!

They have plenty of parking and a good sized menu of ice cream options. Sometimes an ice cream shop tries to be more than just an ice cream shop which can make a menu a confusing and overwhelming. Mrs & me focuses on what they do best, which is ice cream so I appreciate the straightforward menu and the tasty ice cream. The girls who work here are also super friendly and very helpful. I do recommend if you're in the area and looking for a simple scoop of home made ice cream.

This store has never asked a kid to leave ever, I have never seen such a grumpy old obnoxious individual since the 80s, and I've been coming here for the last 30 years with my children and now my grandchildren. They always go out of their way to make sure everybody is accommodated and they even set up face painting and tattoos for the kids outside. This is a very welcoming store to all and a family candy store in downtown York Beach, Maine. Considering you came in so hot with that hat on and you were definitely trying to make a political statement in a candy store that caters to families.

One of the party had a chocolate coffee nugget (chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered espresso beans) and the other person had orange vanilla pineapple. They were both very good: large portions, very creamy and no ice crystals. I am becoming suspicious though that several of the ice cream places in Ogunquit and Wells are all using the same supplier. Next summer I am going to try to figure that out-- although I'll probably come away from that endeavor weighing ten pounds heavier than when I arrive! Enjoy your time in Maine!
