The place had a lot of different options for ice cream given that it was a food truck, which was super Duper cool. I ended up getting the maple creamy with the apple crisp on the bottom. All of it was so good and so fresh it was honestly one of the best maple cream I've had or any ice cream appeared north for that fact. I got to meet the owner of the food. Truck was superduper cute and I really loved her concept of her business and she provided a great service.

Amazing ice cream found in the Old Port!

A little bit of mixed feelings here, the flavors are creative and interesting. They don't allow…read moresamples as others have mentioned, which really hampers my willingness to try their very creative flavors. It's a cop out to talk about sampling spoons as waste when I've seen other ice cream shops find solutions to that, it's really just greed. They know they'll sell ice cream regardless so they'll cut that corner. Maybe lines are a little longer, but as a local, it makes me not want to come back all year long. Also, the base recipe they seem to use is VERY thick and rich, to the point where it's arguably too much and takes away from the flavors. I've had some good bites here too so it's not a dud altogether. I'll say I'm partial to higher end ice cream (which I feel MDI falls into), and will pay a premium happily for a great product, but I haven't been back in a while because it's hit or miss if I'll enjoy my ice cream since they don't offer samples. I've also not craved any of the 5 or so flavors I've tried in order to return for them. There's great potential there, and I am opening to trying it again if they decide to prioritize local customers over the summer tourists.

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.

Love the staff and the ice cream. The service was always so…read morepolite and patient as I never can decide what I want but I kind of always end up with the same choice. Coffee or oreo or a mint ice cream. I love the dish with 3 scoops and still ask for a sugar cone. They done seemed bothered by it. I only wish there was more sitting room for me and friends to meet up and chill while enjoying the delicious creamy ice cream. I recommend this stand especially after eating delicious Asian food from nearby

No complaints at all from my visit to Lib's!…read more You order at the window and there are a few picnic tables outside to sit at. There are different flavors to choose from for the hard and soft serves. I loved the variety of soft serve flavors! I'm used to just vanilla and chocolate. 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.

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.
