Great downtown location with ample seating. They are cow-to-cone, which I had to google to know what it meant. I also appreciated that the fruit and other ingredients were local. One of us had a malt. They gift you the malt in your cup but then the metal canister they make it in with extra. It's like you get 1 1/2 malts. I love that they don't dump it down the sink like most other shops! Another one of us had a sundae, then cones. The scoops sizes were good. Between us we tried coffee, vegan mint brownie, strawberry malt, cheesecake and cookies and cream. All of the flavors were so tasty! The staff were also very friendly, which is a nice bonus . read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Fun shop with tons of duckies inside. Got lavender and the Brazilian lemonade. Flavors were ok.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Enjoyable place and game selection. Have spent many hours playing Poetry for Neanderthals there. The best ice cream flavors are the pumpkin or bugs in mud. Lines can get long but expected and I enjoyed the duck ambiance. Quality service, decadent ice cream, free water, a fantastic view of the road outside. The guess who game was missing pieces. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

I've always loved Mallards. Its got the best ice cream around. Even though the quality is still great their scoops are about 1/2 what they used to be. Given their price it makes me much less likely to go as often. read more

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. read more

We came here in the afternoon and found downtown Bellingham very pleseant. That said, it is only pay parking at meters near here and we were able to secure two spots right out front. They had their garage type doors all the way up so it was like being outside when you were inside where there was tons of seating and a low height sink for kids to wash their hands with. There was only one party ahead of us in line and when it was out turn, they were good about letting us sample. Their flavor selection was great and I tried the Mint Oreo and Tony's Cold Brew. I went with the Mint Oreo, which was not green and had large chunks of Oreo, so perfect! The price includes a cone and the bathroom was fairly clean. read more

It really is hard not to love this place! While the political affiliation is certainly apparent, their ice cream appeals, to everyone! They have an amazing number of flavors the range from familiar to " how did they come up with that?", but the common theme is that all of them are delicious. We get up there every year or so and the rotation is quite amazing. The Incorporation of new flavors, stuff that is popular at the time. (i.e ghost pepper) and different takes on classic flavors is pretty epic! The service is always quick. The line is generally back near the door, there's a nice seating area inside as well as some outside. It's also the perfect spot to grab and go as the downtown area is ever interesting! If you haven't been here before, it's a must check out if you are up in the area! read more

If you come here it's probably more for the vibes. Was craving something at 9pm and wanted to continue my girl talk but surrounded by people so came here. Lord of people were here and it made it a fun light place. Ice cream was scramallamalumpcious but didn't taste $6 good. But to pay $6 and be in a fun room was worth it for the 1 read more

Unfortunately tonight at Mallards the staff were very rude. It was near closing. The doors were still open and customers were in line ordering ice cream. A few of us who had just received our ice cream were seated when one of the staff members came around, telling everybody that "they were closing, Sorry" and asked us all to leave. Had we been told that we were not welcome to sit down for a moment and have our ice cream because they were about to close that might have been reasonable. However as it was, they were still dishing out ice cream and serving people who had come in while asking those of us who just sat down to get up and leave. A customer asked if they could use the restroom which they had just locked, and they refused then they appeared reluctant but gave the key it to them. Poor customer service, wow. read more

I had to try this place while in town because I'm a big fan of unique ice cream flavours, which this place seems to specialize in! I got a half scoop of two of their rotating flavours, Angostura Bitters and Hot Marges (tequila, lime, ghost pepper). Loved both, but the Hot Marges really stood out - the ghost pepper featured prominently which made it a really exciting tasting experience. I also sampled the Whiskey Raisin and Cardamom flavours which were excellent too. The ice cream doesn't just come in fun flavours, it's also really well-made ice cream, smooth and creamy. The shop is also really inviting. Everything is colourful and the duck theme is very cute. There's plenty of comfortable seating if you'd like to hang around while you enjoy your ice cream. read more

Don't get it. First of all, the overwhelming number of drug users and drug dealing cluttering the area outside the shop is disturbing. The line was long outside and it's disturbing that your city and this business allows for this kind of behavior outside where you have families waiting for ice cream. The like was also so slow. I love the idea of the unique flavors, but the texture of the ice cream is no different than what you get at the store. Lacked creaminess and flavor on my scoop was bland. Much better spot in Fairhaven without the drug addicts to deal with. read more

So many creative, local flavors and choices you will go insane, but despite the long line, you will get your turn and they will let you taste and walk away very happy!! read more

Really cool spot. Great Ice cream, Check. Rotating Flavors, Check. Board games, Check. Definitely a fun spot to hit during the summer; they roll up the store front so it feels super open. Perfect for a sunny day. Their flavors are super fun too; anything from classics like strawberry or chocolate up to more unusual flavors like Korean Hotteok. They also have a really fun competition amongst students to submit their own flavors and designs. read more

Great creamy ice cream. Loved the cardamom flavor. We got samples of the spicy flavors which were interesting and delicious, but a bit intense to my palate for a full cone. Long line on a Friday night, but worth it! read more

Ice cream is good. They have many extravagant flavors: ranch, corn, etc. they change on a daily basis. The only downfall of this place is wooden spoons. Otherwise they have games in the seating area for a fun game night with a family. The service is quick and everyone was friendly. read more

Went here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a bit of a line. A few big groups with a lot of kids in front of us, so it took the staff a while to get through them. This place had a lot of interesting looking flavors if you are looking for something different than your standard ice cream flavors. We ended up getting the black currant and the cardamom. Both were good. The black currant having a bit of a tart fruity taste and a little bit of a cream cheese feel to me. The cardamom was interesting with the cardamom flavor inspiring memories of the rice at various Indian restaurants. read more

Lots of really fun, inventive, good flavors here to play with. Service is nice, spot has lots of seating open to the bustling street outside. I think the base ice cream could use a little work but there's definitely some banger flavors in here. I can see why it's a favorite in Bellingham. For a small city this place has no shortage of heart and fun spots. read more
