You simply must go to this place! It is Locally owned and one of a kind. The staff is super friendly. The Fairhope float something you must try once! It has coffee, icecream and whipped cream - I got three of them while we were there! My hubby got the Peach milkshake and he said it was super thick and delicious. We went back 3 times while visiting Fairhope and highly recommend. read more

Friendly staff and great location. However, don't be fooled about the ice cream. It's just Blue Bell ice cream that you can get at the supermarket. I wish they had their own genuine ice cream or gelato like Fairhope Bakery. Make the place your own and you will attract more people. Please, do not be an ice cream reseller. Keep the charm and character of Fairhope (be local, not big box). read more

Was hoping for home made ice cream rather than Blue Bell, however it was good on a hot day and the employee was very personable and made you feel like she really cared that you were there. I'd go back because of the great service read more

A pretty standard ice-cream shop, though local, rather than a chain. The ice cream is available in a variety of flavors, but don't expect gourmet ice-cream, that's not this place -- the flavors are pretty standard, and the ice cream more so. The coffee, tea and popcorn make it a bit more interesting, and they make milk shakes to order. The decor is homey and old-timey. The deck has seats and tables and is a great place to socialize with fellow customers. The staff is friendly. Mr Gene's Beans has a lot of character and charm -- but I wasn't wowed by the ice cream -- Because it is located on a main street in town, and it offers a good opportunity to chat with the locals, it is worth stopping by. read more

I visited this small family owned and operated ice cream shop located in downtown Fairhope while I was down here for Thanksgiving! The shop is located off of De La Mare Avenue on the left side of the road right next to CK Collections Men's store. I ordered their signature drink, the Fairhope Float which was recommended by the owner; Chris! The Fairhope Float is their own unique twist on the classic Coke or Root Beer float. It is made with iced mochaccino, vanilla yogurt ice cream, whipped cream and then topped with your choice of chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon or nutmeg powder. Can I get a, "YUUUUUMYYYY!!!" The Float has a nice smooth creamy coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate. I was immediately sold when I saw coffee and ice cream in the drink description! The price tag on this bad boy is $5.34 (includes tax). I can't wait to visit Fairhope again and get my hands on another Fairhope Float.I highly recommend checking out Mr Gene's Beans shop and trying this sweet treat; especially if you are visiting Fairhope from out of town! read more

This is A really cute little ice cream shop that serves bluebell ice cream. They also serve coffee which is smart, for those days it's too cold to order ice cream! They hire some cute chipper teenagers which hearkens back to the soda jerks of the 50s. I think the best part honestly is the ambiance. It's a quaint little place that hearkens back to the good old days when ice cream parlors were actually parlors. They have indoor and outdoor seating and this is on de la mere avenue in fairhope which is perfect for people watching. They also have a public restroom. AND it's within walking distance to fairhoper park which makes it the perfect stop after taking the littles to the playground! 5 stars read more

Omg the lemonade is insane. One cup is more than enough for my sister and I to share. I also got a small coffee ice cream and uugghhhh EXACTLY what I wanted :0) The location, right behind the park is awesome too!! What better way to wrap a trip to the park (and convince the kids to leave without losing their sh*t) than a trip to Mr. Gene's Beans! read more

What a classic ice cream shop. They have plenty of flavors and good quality. There are some unique milk shakes and a fair selection of toppings. The staff behind the counter are courteous and responsive. The prices are spot on, I was pleasantly surprised with the price so it's worth a stop for sure! There are a few tables outside and a few more inside, so plan on taking your ice cream to go. Mr. Gene's Beans is worth a stop just about every time you're in town. read more

I've been here twice on visits to Fairhope and it is a fun, cute little ice cream shop. Avoid their fro yo's as they are disappointing. Just opt for the full fat ice-cream and call it a day. They have outdoor seating but it is usually too hot to sit around. Your ice cream WILL MELT before you begin eating it so just find some shade and enjoy it. COVID update: they have markings for 6 foot distancing & the servers are behind plastic so you are good. read more

Perfect place for coffee, icecream and other treats! Love the Fairhope Float! Great staff too!! read more

Super cute ice cream spot! The staff was so fun and nice! And who doesn't love Blue Bell?! Great spot for kids!

I must be the only person in the South who has never heard this God-sent flavor called Moose Tracks. I don't know how many levels of hell there are in the Inferno but I know that Mr. Gene's Beans has sent me to a new level of ice cream heaven. Is this better than Bi-Rite in San Francisco? I don't know. Is it one of the best ice cream parlors in America? I don't know. But what I do know it's the best ice cream I'm having right now. Time to go searching for more Moose Tracks! read more

Love this local institution. The simplicity of ice cream brings so much joy. My kids and I basically make a weekly trip here, and it never disappoints. Love the new owner as well - she exudes so much joy! read more

Utter confusion from the very beginning. First of all there's so many choices I have no idea what to do. The second thing that happened is our noticing the candies above the ice cream choices. We asked the employee to please mix the M&Ms into our ice cream and her reply was "we don't really do that here". Well... that's not true. To our complete shock and utter disbelief, we get outside and there are mini m&ms mixed evenly perfectly and completely into our ice cream. We didn't know what to think. We didn't know how to act. The ice cream was delicious. I recommend go here, I just must warn you, you may get lied to and then get exactly what you want. read more

I am from Mississippi and came through Fairhope on my way for vacation. This place is has amazing ice cream. I recommend the chocolate chip cookies and the Krazy Cookie dough ice cream.
