Located in Fairhaven. Tried their $9.99 flight sample. Since their ice cream has no air in it, making it very stretchy and fluffy. The texture is unique, kind of like melting yet slight watery, not something I expected. Their service is friendly. They also offer good espresso and other sweet treats.
Great little stop for a quick bite in downtown Fairhaven! It had a great central location and a good selection of ice cream as well as baked goods. Service was friendly and helpful, my savory biscuit was like an elevated version of a Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit, AKA it was amazing! You should also bring your dog, to be added to the great dog wall inside!
First time I've tried this place after living in Bellingham my whole life. It was delicious! I would definitely go back to try different flavors! I'm assuming it's due to COVID but their selection was very minimal. They had about 8 flavors of ice cream on a Sunday afternoon. And a couple items in the baked goods section. They also offer coffee which is always a plus! Hoping next time they have more flavors.
Note that ACME Ice Cream Cafe IS OPEN during COVID for TAKEOUT. My family and I stopped by Fairhaven and decided to get ice cream on a warm summer day. We came to this same ice cream store five years ago and so it was nice to see that this ice cream store was still in business. We ordered a double scoop of Amaretto and Zabaglione (Italian Custard) to share. The ice cream scooper described the zabaglione as similar to eggnog and so we gave it a try because it's not something you normally find. The ice cream was rich, dense, and creamy. It was also very stretchy (other reviewers have compared it to a "cheese pull"). You have to twist your spoon as if you were eating spaghetti to eat it. The amaretto tasted more like almond than amaretto; it had slivered almonds and a mild almond flavor but lacked any alcoholic taste. The zabaglione was much better and tasted like custard pudding. The server was wearing a mask and social distancing measures were in place. Overall: 4/5 for ice cream, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for health and safety standards
Iced carmel mocha was good and the pop tart was amazing. We will definitely come back to try the Ice cream tonight, looked so good. Service was friendly.
After a long day of walking, we decided to try this place as we have seen pints sold in store before. One thing that suck was that they ran out of cones and ran out a lot of their flavors. Also, there scoops are tiny! A double scoop was probably a size of a single scoop in other places. We got the banana walnuts, the fudge brownie, the raspberry chip and the amaretto. Every flavor was bold and distinct which is nice. The only one I didn't like much was the armaretto but that is just my preference. Certain ice cream had different texture. We were able to do a 'cheese pull' on one of them haha while the one was standard.
I was walking back to my car from buying some books at the bookstore when I read the sign that said "caramel apple float" and then walked right in. I've been to fairhaven many times but never have I been here. I also saw that they have house made pastries and treats so I ended up buying a savory roll as well. The only reason my review isn't a 5 star is there was some brush fibers in my roll (from the pastry brush, probably from the egg wash??? I'm not sure). Otherwise it was a pleasant experience over all and very delicious.
Phenomenal Fairhaven ice cream! In this little adorable historic hamlet of Bellingham. Looking to yelp while visiting Fabulous Fairhaven I came across this donut & ice cream parlor. I was offered tastes and was blow away with the flavors, texture and quality of Acme Ice cream. I tried the Banana Walnut which was delicious and vanilla, the best vanilla ice cream I have ever had. My husband enjoyed the hot fudge sundae. Reasonably priced and well worth it. I wish they were in my hood.
Seriously good ice cream in Fairhaven. Parking is available on the side streets as well as a lot about a block away. Inside has a 1950s theme. There's a shiny rocket above the front counter, hence the name. Staff were friendly. The donuts looked good but I didn't try. They give samples for the ice cream. The ice cream here is seriously creamy. Almost buttery. Special mention. They also allow for 2 half-scoops for the price of a single scoop, which is nice for trying 1 more flavour. Looks like Portland may have some competition.
After hearing some buzz about Crooked Spoon, and its entry into the premium ice cream category, I hadn't heard of before. Their brick-and-mortar place in WA seems to be quite popular. 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 read more

I love ice cream; I feel like I'm a good judge as I will try any ice cream anywhere, any time. This review is courtesy of a family who pulled me and my boyfriend's arm to go into the shop (they didn't need to pull that hard though, lol). 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! read more

5 stars for the ice cream. It was seriously good. I had the butter pecan and espresso ice cream (2 scoops). It was just a dollar more for 2 scoops. But I should have just requested for 2 flavors in the single scoop portion as I was quite full from lunch and the ice cream pretty much stuffed me. The ice cream was rich and creamy and not too sweet. It was thick and did not melt or slide off the spoon easily. The espresso and butter pecan paired well together. I still want to get the chocolate next time. I also shared the donut with my friend. Maybe I was too full, but I did not find the donut (mocha bismarck) that nice. It was ok, but nothing to dream about. read more

Buster Crabbe would be proud. Not sure if they had this type of donuts back in his day, but he'd be proud. Walking into this shop with two TVs playing Flash Gordon, the black and white version, complete with the atrocious acting, I was quite surprised with the decor. Retro sci-fi. It was quite the sight. I ended up sampling a coconut cream, classic cruller, and one with sprinkles. I liked the coconut cream and the cruller the most. The sprinkled donut, I could do without. All had a cakey texture, which I quite liked. Hmmmm.... I think I'll be back. I am due for a donut run in Bellingham, but not to Krispy Kreme. And I'll be coming for some ice cream too. read more

According to my 7 year old, this was the best ice cream ever. Has an Affogato which was really nice. Also a great spot on the corner to take in the sun and people. read more

I enjoy this place too much! If you like smooth creamy ice cream this is the place for you. They also do milkshakes too. The doughnuts are perfect, not to heavy but also not all air. They also usually have some creative flavors for the doughnuts and ice cream. Staff is always friendly even on a hot day when it is busy. read more

Ice cream? Check! Donuts? Check! Coffee/Coffee Drinks? Check! Not to me missed the amazing and humongous monster donuts that are a large are some small children;) Banana walnut and Butter Pecan are highly recommended by daughter number one. Black raspberry and mint chocolate chip highly recommended by daughter number two. Also purchased strawberry milkshake with real whipped cream and coffee and drip (a dark roast). Our little table is completely blissed out. Sugar high to follow I am certain. read more
We walked by Rocket Donuts earlier in the day as we were strolling through the shops in historic Fairhaven and I made a mental note to come back for dessert this evening! We strolled up from the Stone Throw Brewery where we had some amazing BBQ from Back East food truck! We ordered a 1/2 doz to go and went to sit in the beautiful town square...where they had some live music and an outdoor movie. We had plans to go to see The Incredibles so we didn't say for the movie! Because we came just before closing the donuts were 1/2 off!! The Blueberry Fritter was by far our favourite! Fairhaven is a lovely little historic town so close to Bellingham Bay! There are many great cafes, locally sourced shops and restaurants! Would highly recommend it for a beautiful afternoon/evening out! read more
Yeah for Rocket Donuts. I have been to the downtown location and then realized that they have a location at Fairhaven. Since the downtown location has pretty good donuts, so I have to try the Fairhaven location. Came here and the staff was super friendly. We told her we came down from Vancouver to try the place out. She was surprised. So got the maple bacon donut. Not bad. Its a long john donut. Not too sweet. Nice and fresh. There are seats at this donut place. Most people just buy and go. Other than donuts they also have ice cream. I think next time I come, I should try Acme Ice Cream. Makes a good treat on a hot day. Decor here is interesting. I like it! Will come back for more. read more

Hi Mary! Thanks for checking out our cafe and we’re sorry to hear…
Okay this is a must-try if you're in the Bellingham area. What better place to grab dessert than a spot that has both ICE CREAM AND DONUTS?! They're one of the few spots with Acme Ice Cream which is local and sooooooo creamy; I love the chocolate and I usually don't like chocolate ice cream:) They have donuts ranging from the classic glazed to coconut cream! Plus if you come in past 5 or 6, you'll get discounted donuts (but the good ones go FAST). You also can get vegan donuts here and they'll either be completely gone at the end of the day or they'll be the only ones left! Folks are super friendly and they give a lot back to their community. Top that with amazing ice cream and a great selection of donuts (maple bacon anyone???) and 10/10 recommend! read more
