Papa's!!!
Lori S.

Oh my! I ordered a medium twist and it was huge!! This place was a fun stop. Great parking, friendly service, and large portions for the price - oh, and allot to choose from. They have picnic tables and Adirondack chairs to sit in. Service was fast and it was rather steady business the evening we went. Also, we love the name, since we had our Papa with us that night! I would recommend to stop in and check it out!! One last thing, since its Autumn, they had Pumpkin Ice Cream!! I didn't try it, but others there did and they all loved it!

Good ice cream cones, sundaes, shakes & malts. Not cheap, but quality rarely is. Go! Summer is short.

Always packed when we go. I can see why, the ice cram is great and the staff is very friendly. They do a great job.

They have some tables and seating around a small pond, and a nice porch area where you can stand and wait in line for your treat. They have a variety of items like shakes, frappes, sundaes, splits, flurries, Red Bull drinks, lobster rolls, specialties, and grab and gos. They have an amazing variety of both hard and soft serve ice cream. There are like 35 flavors of hard serve, give or take a few depending on their rotations. Then they also have like 25 plus soft serve flavors as well! Their ice cream comes shains of Maine, and it's never a disappointment. We also have a member in our party who is dairy free, they have serval items to choose from for that as well and most places do not! They have an amazing sample as well, that has 6, yes 6, different flavors you could add to it ! Then they also have my favorite treat.... Dessert Nachos... many different combinations can be made for this venture. If you've never been here, I highly recommended you swing on through, when you next want to treat yourself to something truly delicious. Prices are fantastic as well!

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.

Lovely service, great selection, ice cream was amazing. I got a sundae with Kaluha chocolate…read morebrownie ice cream and additional hot fudge. It was soooooo good. The flavors were fantastic, all present and just creamy goodness. I will be back. The picnic area was super cute too, but it was too cold so we sat in the car. We will be back.

I wish they gave samples because it's too expensive of a risk to order a scoop of a flavor and not end up liking it. Overall good ice cream though, I liked this better than the other nearby gelato shops in old port.

If you love to be adventurous and love to try unique flavors, then MDIIC is for you. The ice cream…read moreflavors they come up with are kind of mind blowing. Unfortunately they don't allow sampling anymore, sooo you're kind of taking a chance on the flavor and hoping it tastes good, otherwise tough luck I guess. If the owner is reading these reviews, I'd recommend using silver spoons for people that want to sample, that way they're reusable and you can simply clean them. Salt & Straw does this. Just a suggestion. Because we weren't allowed to sample, we ended up choosing flavors we felt were safe and were positive we would like. Those included the Blueberry, which we've been wanting to try for this trip, and matcha, a flavor we were very familiar with. We loved the blueberry flavor. The matcha was great if you love the bitter and grass taste of matcha. It's about a level 3-4 out of 7 in terms of bitterness. Two scoops costed close to $8 including tax.
