A True American Ripoff…read more I took my kids here today hoping to achieve some level of nostalgia after frequenting this place as a kid myself and buying from the penny candy area only to find this place charging 75 cents for a thing of smarties. If I hadn't sold out to my kids , I would have taken off to another shop. The only reason they get by is because it's a complete monopoly in this part of ocean park. They achieved a "Never Again" customer today!

I think the new owners have done a great job of keeping the spirit alive while still making some upgrades. I love that they have Gifford's and Bliss ice cream as those are two of my favorites and such a special treat.

I decided to stop in and order take out. There were a lot of call-in tickets ahead of me and a few tables already waiting for their orders. She let me know it would be about 30 minutes. No problem. I was able to look over everything while waiting before settling into a very comfy leather chair right next to the door. Great vantage point to see all of the amazing treats they sell. They have donuts, scones, muffins, turnovers and dozens of fudge flavors!! I ordered a couple of donuts to go along with a blueberry turnover. SO GOOD!!! The donuts were perfectly fluffy and sweet and the turnover, flakey fruity and perfect! Great - fresh made to order breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit. They are satisfying - so tasty and filling! They are hearty. The couple that owns and runs this business are down to earth and authentic. I loved listening to them work together, it made me laugh when they had a disagreement, she apologized when I went to pick up and pay for my order. I told her, no need, it was like I was at a family home with real people having real conversations. I highly recommend this business and I look forward to using up the rest of my gift card and once that is done, I will be back for more yummy food.

They also have a refrigerator sections with slices of pies, macaroons, and other treats all packed and ready to go. The service is very friendly, and it feels like you're stepping into a neighborhood shop where everyone knows each other...very welcoming vibe. The day me and my family stopped in, we were hungry for breakfast. We tried the pumpkin spice crumble muffin, the bacon/egg/cheddar on a croissant sandwich, and a cinnamon maple something pastry. All of it was DELICIOUS! All very fresh and made with love. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had...the bacon and cheese was high quality, and the flavors blended so beautifully. There are a few things tables, and a couple of comfy chairs for eating in. We will definitely go back.

At some point, we stopped in Saco to check out a free roadside library when I noticed The Saco Scoop right next door and figured, why not get a little bit of ice cream for the drive? This small shop is located inside a little market style building and the store itself is full of random candy and souvenirs as well as the ice cream I came seeking. Like every single other time I see blue ice cream that has a name like "cookie monster" or "oreo cookie something blah blah" I ordered it and The Saco Scoop did it better then most. The woman who worked here was charming and quick to give us our scoops and get us on our way, and man, this might be the best ice cream I've ever had in the state of Maine (I haven't actually had much, but this stuff was incredible). It was so creamy, it was so flavourful, and it was so freaking good I wish I was able to stop by right now and get a few more scoops. Overall, The Saco Scoop is a truly wonderful little ice cream shop that I'm so glad I stumbled across. I very much look forward to checking Saco out on my next trip and this little ice cream shop might just be the reason we even spend the night.

The clerk taking orders was very particular with each item in the order to ensure we were able to get exactly what we ordered. He even confirmed for me that the lettuce was Romaine and not iceberg lettuce, as I am not a fan. The smoothie had such great mango flavors and the green apple tastes of gelato were like a green apple flavored Jolly Rancher. The store was busy but efficient, with an ordering side and a food preparation side. Tables and chairs filled the remaining space among the displays of drinks and various salads, like the macaroni salad, which was also fresh and delicious. Well done!

I've been a connoisseur of ice cream for the last 70 years. And sampled my way across the U.S. many…read moretimes. There are only a few things I look for in a good ice cream. One is flavor that shines through the cold and creamy dessert. Second is how sweet it is. Not too much so to where that's all that comes through. The last being, creamy consistency. So all in all, it's fairly simple. With this being said. Fielder's choice has been #1 for me, followed by Dairy corner in the # 2 slot. The only reason why, is that in my opinion, it's a bid too sweet for me. Otherwise it's pretty damn good over all. Today I happened to be driving by The Maine Scoop and decided to give it a shot. It's always nice to ad options when you are out and about. My wife went to the window to order for us. I wanted a coffee Oreo milkshake. She was going for the vanilla custard soft serve. A single cones worth. As soon as I had my treat in my hands. I gave a big long pull on the fat straw sticking out of the top. The first thing I noticed was a watery slurry followed by chunks of soggy Oreo. Then an extremely overpowering sickening sweet gush that took over all my senses that made my eyes snap shut in horror. My brain whirled in a panic trying to understand what just invaded my mouth. My God! I thought I was experiencing some sort of sugar coma onset. I quickly placed the cup in my holder and sat there bewildered for a few minutes. Until the wife looked at me asking, are you OK? I didn't want to sway her opinion so I just smiled and handed her the cup of disaster and said, give this a try. She enthusiastically took the cup and managed to get about a half of swig before she choked and shoved the cup away from her. Holding it at arms length she proclaimed, what in the world did they make you! We laughed for a moment until I realized I just paid $9 for this sugar slurry mess. I asked the wife to try her cone, I wanted or should say hoped that somehow my shake was some sort of mistake. It wasn't, sad to say. Her ice cream was also extremely sweet, but manageable. So, be warned, if you are anywhere near a possible diabetic. Avoid this place like a modern plague.

Does it get more local than a scoop shop in a neighborhood untouched by tourism? I just don't think…read moreit does; if you've ever used Ocean Ave to get from Forest to Washington, chances are you've seen the small white building with colorful, albeit limited signage offering up ice cream. Lived in Portland for years and never had a reason to come here when there's so many other (glamorous) options, but now living so close I just think this spot is super, duper charming. Yes, the prices are higher than at other places and I'm not entirely sure why, but this doesn't really bother me because the portions have always been enormous here, it's super convenient to where I live, there's never a wait, the staff is accommodating about wacky requests, they take credit cards, and the customer service is sometimes above and beyond what's becoming the norm downtown (I showed up once a few minutes after they had closed for the night, but they still let us order giant sundaes anyway!). They serve stuff from The Ice Cream Machine (out of Rhode Island, and distributed by Sysco) so it's not homemade or local even - I don't think it's the most delicious ice cream in the world, but it gets the job done and sometimes that's all you need (side note: their sundaes are awesome here; they know how to pour. on. the. hot. fudge!). Do I think this is a destination spot? Absolutely not. Is it ever going to make it on some national "Best of..." list that will drive hoards of people to it? Nope. Will I seek it out when I move away from the neighborhood? Can't say that I will. But is it a perfect spot for those Back Cove/The Pocket folks within walking distance? Yep. It's nice that in the state's biggest, busiest, trendiest city there are still places you can safely, quietly walk to get some ice cream with your family and enjoy it in a pristine park across the street only locals really know about.

The prices of these cookies, as we all know, are pretty steep. The cookie choice was an M&M cookie with icing (not sure the official title). This cookie was okay, but extremely bland.

The cookies were cute and well decorated but....Honestly, the cookies are just ok and after a bite or two, they are cloyingly sweet. I cannot image eating an entire cookie in one sitting. If you can, good for you! Again, far too sweet for my taste. The cookies are soft and more of a cake consistency vs a tradition cookie. Service was kind of slow but it was busy. The employees did not look very happy, no one was smiling or interacting with the clients. Just calling names/numbers and taking order. One would think with all pretty treats, great smells and happy customers the mood would be a little more upbeat.
