I just returned home from having ice cream at Veranda St…read more After years of patronage at all Beals locations, I can now say with certainty.. I will never go back. I just paid $9.13 for the smallest, medium ice cream I have ever been served AND by the most SMUG young ladies. I understand you can't give the house away, but the cost of the ice cream, the outrageous up-charge for sprinkles, the $.20 for the extra dish came to $9.13. It was my choice to leave the extra change as tip.... In total..... $10.00. I've seen child size ice creams larger than what I was served. Going forward, I will be taking my business to other local shops, like Sammy's Scoops or Twisted Swirls. Local businesses that truly appreciate my patronage. Thank you for being part of our community, but I'm done with Beals.

I got the coffee and vanilla swirl soft serve in the kiddie size, which was the perfect amount for a little snack. Service was super speedy and my ice cream was delicious! Definitely will be back to try more flavors.

Highly recommend! I get why this spot is an institution.

Ambiance rate 5/10. The staff is nice, and the service is quick. Service/staff rate: 6.5/10. This place offers a wide variety of gelato flavors! I ordered a small dish consisting of a scoop of "Big Ole Peanut Butter" and a scoop of "Cookie Therapy." Both flavors were very bold which I enjoyed because I was able to really taste it. In addition, the cup size is a generous portion. Food rate: 8/10 Overall, this gelato place is a nice place to stop by for a quick dessert!

I stopped in at Beal's for a cold treat after finishing dinner nearby. I've passed this place many…read moretimes while walking around Old Port, but never had any real desire to check them out. However, I was in the mood for ice cream and this was calling me - so I decided to head in. Beal's is in a prime location in Old Port - right between Fore and Commercial Streets on a corner of a cobblestone alley. I went close to closing, so it wasn't crowded - though I can imagine being an ice cream shop in a seaside city they see a good amount of foot traffic during prime time. The interior is spacious with a decent amount of seating, plus some more outside. The decor is relatively simple with fun murals on the walls that add a pop of color. I decided to get a cup which came with my choice of two flavors - they had a good selection and I went with chocolate peanut butter cookie and another flavor that escapes my mind. The ice cream was fine - nothing too outstanding if I'm being honest but also not bad. Service was good, and overall I thought Beal's was fine. Nothing outstanding IMO but also nothing bad. If circumstances found me here again I wouldn't be mad.

This is the closest Dairy Queen aka DQ to me and have been here numerous times over the years…read more Every time has been through the drive-thru for blizzards. Previously at other DQ locations I have had their meals and they are better than you'd expect from a mainly ice cream focused fast food spot. This spot does not take much of a drive-thru line for it to go into the street, so be warned. Typically even with a busy line it does seem to go quickly. The staff we have interacted with have always been friendly and the blizzards have been good with minimal complaints. Occasionally they've been poorly mixed or had minimal add-ins. Obviously you can get far superior ice cream options but sometimes I have that craving for a blizzard and come here. Most should honestly know what to expect with a DQ and this location nails that expectation decently well!

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.
