I have been coming to Mount Desert Island Ice Cream for many years. The original is here, but it…read morewas explained to me that through some business connections the remarkably remote locations of this brand have sprouted up in Mount Pleasant in DC (where I have been many times) and Japan (which I have not been to yet). The original here is on the town square and is spacious. I was surprised that their non-dairy offerings were not quite as robust as the DC shop, and they didn't have my usual favorite flavor. However, the fresh mint and sweet cream flavors that I was able to try delivered a characteristic richness. I was quite happy to have tried this one, and now I have to find an excuse to go to Japan.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Maine and got dinner in SW Harbor, so naturally we wanted to get…read moreice cream after. I couldn't find the menu of flavors/items online nor on any social media so I called the store to ask if they had any vegan flavors. The worker was very nice and told me they had 4 flavors! I do wish they listed flavors online though! We went about an hour before close and luckily got there before a bunch of other people did. My boyfriend is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and while the employee was very helpful with identifying which ice creams had nuts in them (they had a poster on the wall as well as a sheet) we noticed almost every flavor that didn't contain nuts was right next to a nut-containing flavor, which could increase the risk of cross contamination. The employee did wash his hands and the scooper but I wish this spot just separated the nut-containing and nut-free flavors! Very easy switch. I got the vegan blueberry crumble which was super yum, and my boyfriend got the S'mores which he also enjoyed! I did like that there were some sodas/snacks on the shelves and souvenirs too. Overall a good shop but I think it has space to improve! :)

I owned an ice cream store for 5 years so I learned a lot about ice cream. I stop at stores…read moreeverywhere as I love it. This wasn't only an ice cream store, but they also sold some desserts, snacks, and lots of mugs, etc. I really wanted blueberry ice cream but they didn't have any so I settled on a soft serve swirl. I wanted sugar cone but they said they couldn't do it in a sugar cone. Oh yes you can! You just need to make the swirls more compact so it doesn't get too high. Disappointed they wouldn't do it. The soft serve was decent and the small size was plenty big. Seems like everywhere we have gone in Maine we spend $18 on 2 items.

We had zero wait when we popped in but I can see it getting busy quick. I LOVE soft serve and they had additional flavors than the typical chocolate and vanilla so I had to try.
