We love coming to The Ice Cream Shoppe!…read more Located off Route 1 in Yarmouth, it is very easy to find! We are always greeted with smiles from the friendly staff and the service is quick. You get that cute ice cream shop feel when you walk in. We love having both soft serve and hard ice cream options and the rest of the menu is endless -- so many choices outside just ice cream, from shakes to sundaes plus more! There are always new flavors to try whenever we come in! There is seating both inside and outside with plenty of parking along the sides of the building and in back. We love coming here to get our ice cream fix!

I want to particularly praise the vegan ice cream options. I tried the caramelized pear and berry…read moremade with oatmilk. Both were delicious and creamy. My non vegan fácil praised the flavor too! Service was fine, the site is a tiny store that can be easily missed but not far from popular Highroller lobster rolls.

Really good ice cream. The shop has no seating - it's really just about getting premium ice cream…read moreand then walking around Old Port afterward. I've tried the sweet cream, strawberry, callebut chocolate, and Maine blueberry. Sweet cream was solid. The strawberry is unique - seems to have very high strawberry content, so it ends up almost tasting like an ice cream-sorbet hybrid in comparison to say Haagez Dazs which is more cream-forward. The chocolate was also great. I was hoping that the Maine blueberry would essentially taste like a black raspberry ice cream but it just tasted like blueberry, which I suppose should come as no surprise. It was a little too sweet and not my favorite but maybe true blueberry-lovers would like it. I read a bit online about how they don't do samples in order to keep costs down and also keep people moving in and out of the shop quickly. It's an interesting model but ultimately it feels like they are prioritizing saving marginal costs at the expense of the experience of the customer. Maybe they save tens of thousands of disposable spoons by doing this, but when it comes to a person's individual experience in the store wanting to optimize getting a flavor they like, that gets sacrificed. Sort of opposite of customer-first. Some of their flavors are also pretty unique like lemon poppy seed with a jam mixed in and it's hard to anticipate what that'll be like. I also think a homemade waffle cone as opposed to the bought ones they have available would be a major upgrade here. Overall, great ice cream with a few things that could be better.

The place had a lot of different options for ice cream given that it was a food truck, which was super Duper cool. I ended up getting the maple creamy with the apple crisp on the bottom.

Truck was superduper cute and I really loved her concept of her business and she provided a great service.

This is my favorite ice cream in Portland. Made in-house, the ice cream is rich, creamy and…read moreflavorful. They have a few seasonal flavors throughout the summer, but for the most part, their roster stays stacked with the greatest hits. My husband almost always gets the Halloween and I will revolt if they ever get rid of Salted Caramel or Key Lime Pie! Service is so quick, you can sample flavors (just don't be too greedy and hold up the line - there's no reason for anyone to sample chocolate in this economy). There's no seating inside, however a couple of benches. The pro tip is to take your dessert down to Willard Beach and enjoy, but chances are, you'll finish it before you even make it to the sand.

As a southern boy I have to give them extra kudos for using REAL old school fudge (not the chocolate syrup that a lot of places use which is sooo mehhh) for their sundaes. Their ice cream was velvety smooth, rich, creamy, flavorful and pretty much exactly what you would look for in a good ice cream.

It was absolutely delicious, though a little messy -- I love extra ice cream, just not the challenge of balancing it while battling drippage. The location is perfect, right in Boothbay with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your treat. They have a huge variety of flavors, so there's something for everyone.

Once we entered, we were greeted warmly. It wasn't super crowded. I opted for a classic conehead type Sunday and the rest in my party opted for scoops of various flavors of ice cream.
