Really good ice cream. The shop has no seating - it's really just about getting premium ice cream…read moreand then walking around Old Port afterward. I've tried the sweet cream, strawberry, callebut chocolate, and Maine blueberry. Sweet cream was solid. The strawberry is unique - seems to have very high strawberry content, so it ends up almost tasting like an ice cream-sorbet hybrid in comparison to say Haagez Dazs which is more cream-forward. The chocolate was also great. I was hoping that the Maine blueberry would essentially taste like a black raspberry ice cream but it just tasted like blueberry, which I suppose should come as no surprise. It was a little too sweet and not my favorite but maybe true blueberry-lovers would like it. I read a bit online about how they don't do samples in order to keep costs down and also keep people moving in and out of the shop quickly. It's an interesting model but ultimately it feels like they are prioritizing saving marginal costs at the expense of the experience of the customer. Maybe they save tens of thousands of disposable spoons by doing this, but when it comes to a person's individual experience in the store wanting to optimize getting a flavor they like, that gets sacrificed. Sort of opposite of customer-first. Some of their flavors are also pretty unique like lemon poppy seed with a jam mixed in and it's hard to anticipate what that'll be like. I also think a homemade waffle cone as opposed to the bought ones they have available would be a major upgrade here. Overall, great ice cream with a few things that could be better.

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 recommend this stand especially after eating delicious Asian food from nearby

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.

On Saturday night, I was craving something sweet after dinner and found The Gelato Fiasco. There…read morewas a queue out the door, but it moved quickly. When I got in, I saw the flavors listed on the board and tried a few samples served on a metal spoon. Since I was in Maine, I had to try the two blueberry flavors. I immediately fell in love with the Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato and asked for a small cup with that flavor. The Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato is comprised of wild blueberries intersected with a sweet and crunchy oat streusel covering and kissed by a scoop of vanilla. It was so yummy! My husband had the Netflix & Chill Gelato which is caramel gelato with brownie bits, peanut butter cups, and kisses. The small dish was $6.35 each and it includes a Maine restaurant tax. The next day, during the Portland: Old Port Culinary Walking Tour on Sunday, June 14, 2026, our last stop was The Gelato Fiasco. Funny enough, I was just here the night before. At The Gelato Fiasco, our group of 13 were able to each choose two flavors. Since I already had the Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato last night, I wanted to try some other flavors. This time I got the Ripe Mango and Thai Iced Tea. WOW! The Ripe Mango and Thai Iced Tea really tasted like how you would expect it to taste, all the flavors were there, but imagine it in a denser, silkier texture and a more intense flavor. I highly recommend checking out The Gelato Fiasco, you will not regret the smooth and creamy texture of the gelato. There are plenty of seating inside and outside.

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!

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!
