Diggin for Dinos
Sarah W.

They have a good selection (not as many options as some other places but still a good number) of Giffords ice creams. They also have several vegan options made with oat milk, at least one of which is also gluten free. So they seem to have a large enough menu to offer something for most anyone, without actually having a ton of flavors (probably due to freezer space since it is a small building). Extravagant toppings and combinations seem to be their signature here. I ordered the Diggin for Dinos and it took a little while to come out (I was the only customer at the time). But once I ate it, I realized all the toppings and ice cream were layered so that makes sense that it took a couple minutes to make. The prices are definitely higher than other area ice cream places, but they do seem to have differentiated themselves a bit.

The ice cream is not home-made, but it sure tastes that way when it is served from Local Scoop. The most important thing to note is the specialty cones on their menu. These are simply out of this world concoctions in a waffle cone big enough to let you skip a meal. Not only are these delicious, but they are artistic masterpieces. They also have normal cones of your choice with lots of interesting flavors along with the normal standbys. One thing I have not seen before is that Local Scoop has a list of 3-5 vegan flavors available. For those who need a pick-me-up, try the Coffee Float, which is coffee ice cream floating in iced coffee with a drizzle of chocolate and plenty of whipped cream.

just found this place and I absolutely love this it! Their ice cream creations are a work of art and so creative. Definitely instagram worthy! What they don't seem to advertise is just how good their house waffle cones are. Insider tip ask for that All the workers are extremely sweet and friendly. It's a always a fun experience when we go.

This picture only tells half the story because the adults liked as much as the kids. We were looking for dairy free options and this place had almost a dozen (plus lots of dairy options). It was amazing and all of them were very good but the sherbet was even better. Two flavors were already sold out so we got the orange. It had orange zest in it and a fresh, clean flavor, maybe the best I've ever had. The people were very laid back and friendly and the order came amazingly fast. I don't know if Maine is an ice cream mecca or we just got lucky but I'm a bit sad that I live 3000 miles away.

Good outdoor seating with a view only a driveway's width from the river.
