Whenever I come up to Maine, the two things on my must eat list are lobsters and blueberries. I…read moreprefer my lobsters steamed with fresh drawn butter and my Maine blueberries churned into ice cream. At Lulu's, this little ice cream shack tucked away in an ally behind Fog Bar and Cafe does one of the finer renditions of fresh wild Maine blueberry ice cream. They allow flavors to be split so I decided to double up my local fruit bounty with a combination of Maine blueberry and Maine raspberry ice cream. Likely using milk churned from local cows as well, the sweetness of the fruit comes through as distinct notes of sweetness/tartness with textures from the fruit still palpable on the tongue with the rich velvety ice cream providing a lingering contrast. Like some of the other sophisticated flavors offered daily (bourbon vanilla, gingery ginger, key lime pie, to name a few), the flavor combinations tend to veer towards not being cloyingly sweet so young kids may not be their biggest fans. One of the fun things I derive out of writing these reviews is doing a little background research when I come across something which I'm not familiar, and I often pick up a random fun fact or two which stays with me. On this occasion, I noticed that in addition to root beer floats, they offered a second option called the Moxie float. Since inquiring minds want to know, I asked the lady behind the counter what that was all about, and it's a local popular drink called Moxie soda topped with one's choice of ice cream or gelato. (nerd alert) Digging further, I learned that Moxie is a popular local soda created in 1876 by a doctor in Massachusetts which contained gentian root extract, and was patented for its reported medicinal benefits for curing insomnia and other neurological conditions. The gentian root has a distinct bitter note, which unsurprisingly is why it is one of the key ingredients for Angiostura bitters which are commonly used in a variety of classic cocktails. It is not only the official soft drink of Maine but curiously is now part of the Kirin Holdings Company of Tokyo, Japan. How often does one have the opportunity to partake in a sophisticated ice cream float which boasts that kind of pedigree in the humblest of spaces? The final fun fact that I found most interesting was that the advertising slogans for Moxie soda came to create the neologism for the word moxie, which we use in everyday language to describe someone with force of courage, determination, or nerve. All this to say that this little dessert shack packs a lot of moxie dishing out some creative sophisticated frozen sweets amidst the straight-forward New England charm in Rockland, Maine. Pro-tip: bring cash since there may be a minimum for credit card transactions despite the fact that the yelp site states they accept cards.

I ordered the amarena gelato which is vanilla and cherries. What I got was definitely not gelato,…read morenot even close. It was gritty, dry and mealy in texture unlike a gelato which should be silky in texture. Furthermore, there was not a speck of cherry to be found. Waste of money. I took one bite and threw it out. Please don't advertise that you're serving gelato when it's not.
