Great little ice cream shop serving up some flavors not seen elsewhere. Very good - but not exceptional - shop made ice cream. Ive had creamier. Nice little picnic bench area to relax and enjoy
Best ice cream in the whole Portland area. Been coming all summer and it never disappoints! The staff is always very nice and friendly too.
Good ice cream, but server didnt use gloves when handling the waffle cones.
So creamy. So delicious. Great little find.
We were directed there while on our bicycle tour, by another Tour Guide. BEST ice cream we had all week!
Excellent ice cream. Super creamy and delicious. Get a sundae and add the candied nuts on top. OH MY GOD.Great Scoopers too!
Tasty ice cream, creative flavors, and just a short stroll from the beach! Tastes like Summer!
Delicious ice cream served at the window. Great variety of flavors. 6 minute walk from Willard Beach ⛱ 😎
Really great ice cream and they have some dairy free options! A favorite of ours!
They didnt have any of things I asked for. Asking for 2 vanilla scoop, Ive never heard a reply as Ohh, we have only one vanilla scoop left. They didnt even have paper to print you the receipt! And no apology in sight...Bad timing I guess. Ice cream was just ok.
Great ice cream! And a short walk to the beach. Thats what lifes all about!
I love this place. Delicious ice cream but shockingly slow service.
Great quality place, an icon for a long time
My son and I drove over from Westbrook yesterday to try this place out. It was okay, but not as awesome as other reviews lead me to believe. My son ordered their chocolate ice cream which was actually pretty good, very chocolatey, like a frozen hot cocoa or a frosty. I ordered their strawberry ice cream - we have a thing for strawberry ice cream and one of us always orders it anytime we stop for ice cream somewhere - and, while it was good, it definitely wasnt as rich and creamy as Beals or Giffords ice cream and no where near the awesomeness that was Catbird Creamery (were still looking for a replacement; we miss you so much, Catbird!) Both had an average milkfat content, nothing all that special.If youre a fan of soft serve, youll be disappointed here as they dont have it.
Its a very small shop in a quiet neighborhoodThe ice cream is very good . down side you have to pay with a credit or debit card only an then you can only tip in cash which is very confusing
Some if the best ice cream in the area
Nothings unique but good flavor and price
Most tourists divert to Reds and their mediocre offerings. Scoops is where its at.
From a loyal customer: PLEASE hire more employees. Your product is fantastic, but having only one employee on staff with a giant line waiting outside is not fair for the employee, or good service to customers. People end up leaving without making a purchase because the wait is too long.
After a day exploring the local forts or kayaking in the area. This is the perfect stop for some wonderful ice cream. Great flavors its an adventure on its own. Street parking
Not gross. Not gross at all.
Excellent service and the ice cream 🍦 🍨 were so yummy. I got the coconut 🥥 ship one and wild berry.
THE BEST HOMEMADE ICE CREAM. More fatty than it is dairy. DELICIOUS! The coffee Oreo and cookies and cream may be the absolute best but they also have fun flavors like “Sunburn” which is strawberry ice cream with a habanero kick. Monkey Business is a good one (cruchy, banana flavor). Wild Berry is super yummy. You really can’t go wrong here. PLUS it’s a quick walk to Willard Beach. Who doesn’t enjoy ice cream and a sunset?Bonus: they have hot fudge cups to go.Also.. there are some reviews about the line and not enough employees- this is during COVID-19 so there is only one walk up window available and the line is outside. The service is wonderful. Don’t let those haters keep you from trying this ice cream.
Yummy! The Best Ice Cream Ever! Real pieces of candied Ginger in the Ginger Ice Cream. The Peppermint Ice has actual peppermint stick in it. Flavors Explode in you mouth. My only regret is I can only eat 2 scoops on a Waffle cone at a sitting.
$4.95 for a scoop of ice cream is highway robbery. The chocolate ice cream was no better than Breyers ice cream and the peppermint stick ice cream chewed like stale peppermint. I don’t care if it is organic or not. I’ve been there twice with the same thought. Don’t waste your money, the neighborhood drives up the price!
Willard Scoops is the absolute best spot in the greater Portland area for ice cream. The salted caramel nut is sublime, especially as a hot fudge sundae with nuts and whipped cream. The interior of the store is on the smaller side, making things feel a bit too cozy during a busy summer day.
The best! Just so you know, you can always ask for 2 flavors on a one scoop cone or cup, and on a waffle cone or 2 scoop cone, I guess you can go to more! Which is great, because deciding which flavors to order is not easy! They are out of this world delicious!
Mint ice cream made with real mint is a must try. As is the Sea-Salt Caramel. Curbside pick-up too!
Try the hot fudge sundae. You wont regret it. Enjoyed it over salt caramel but cant imagine a flavor it wouldnt be good on. Bring your appetite - the portions are very generous.
Its ok
Great creative homemade ice cream at a reasonable price. In regards to comments about the ice cream being pricey, go to the store and buy fresh whole cream, sugar, milk, and other ingredients. Making great, real ice cream is expensive! Great job with the ice cream, my family loved it while we were in the area visiting. We just intended to try it once but ended up going back again because it was so good and there were so many flavors we all wanted to try!
My first visit. Long line but worth the wait. Mint chocolate chip with fresh mint leaves, not artificial flavor or color. Awesome!!!
While visiting family we stumbled upon this gem! I walked in feeling a little overwhelmed by all the amazing flavor options. The staff was helpful, kind, and patient with me and we walked out with delicious ice cream! Their blueberry flavor was the best tasting ice cream Ive ever eaten and their coffee cookie ice cream was creamy goodness. I wish we had more time, I would have stopped again!!
The ice cream is very good, but not a good value for the price compared to other places with equally good ice cream, in the Greater Portland area. The server was not friendly either. And while they had models of the cone sizes, ours did not measure up to the example, leaving us with the impression that the server could not be bothered to maintain some kind of standard. Not worth it IMHO.
They have deliciously unique flavors. I tried mint leaf chip and blackberry cheesecake. I was NOT disappointed!
Amazing rich and creamy ice cream. The best plain Chocolate ice cream in Maine, I do believe!
Found this place on Google and decided to try it based on the stellar reviews. It could not have been better. One of the best cones of my life (strawberry, honey I love you, and salt caramel). This has immediately become a must have for every time Im in Portland in the future.
Very delicious 😋 ice creams 🍦
Delicious ice cream and homemade chocolate sauce. New unique flavors every day.
Amazingly unique choice of flavors - all homemade on premises. Adorable old storefront in quaint neighborhood. Server was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
Lots of great choices! Went with my daughter, my sister and her family. Kind of a tight spot but the ice cream was terrific!
Rented a place to stay from them and took opportunity to have ice cream. Very nice people, easy going, and awesome ice cream. Definitely return!!
Maybe the best ice cream ever!
Best ice cream in the area (and maybe anywhere) plus friendly, cheerful service. The salted caramel chip is ah-mazing!
The BEST ice cream in Maine. The scooper was very patient and kind.
They let you do 1/2 scoops, so I got to have two falovrs for the price of one. Kaluha and The Maple Kind were delicious! The late hours made this an excellent Sunday night treat.
Classic scoop shop in a very cute area. Some of the best ice cream Ive had in all of New England.
Fantastic variety of home made flavors. Your tastebuds will thank you for stopping in. (Honey & salted caramel are my fave flavors)
We found this place accidentally, it was by far the best icecream i have ever had. blackraspberry cheese cake is a must try!!
My family loves this place. Perfect
Delicious ice cream, small shop, try to get there at an off hour for quick service. Most likely a wait due to the size of the place, but worth it!
Delicious fresh fruit ice creams, plus a wide variety. A little pricey ($4.25 for a single scoop which adds up in a family), but a worthwhile treat.
So very busy but the girl serving the ice cream was amazing...always a big smile, friendly, and so very efficient..never got rattled with the seemingly never ending line. Great ice cream too.
Sea Salt Caramel is a little piece of heaven. All of their flavors are spot on and the owners are often in the shop. Willard Square is a small community-oriented neighborhood. Favorite part, Willard Beach is a short walk away!
Delicious ice cream overall, and they even have a spicy ice cream! Sunburn is a strawberry habanero flavor that is delicious!
As always...dark chocolate sea salt. INCREDIBLE flavors, Paul !
Homemade ice cream and wonderful service.
Lots of great flavors and a great atmosphere. Great place in the summer!
I love this place and its never easy to choose with so many incredible flavors. Two personal favs are coconut and sunburst (real strawberries and harbanero pepper), blackberry. So good!
Good ice cream but a little pricey. Could use a larger selection also.
Great ice cream and creative favors. Best hot fudge sundae.
Always interesting hard serve flavors. Very creamy.
Very good ice cream. Friendly staff.
Doesnt get any better. Anything sea salt is to die for. Total summer tradition.
Lovely staff. Tasty traditional ice cream.
Went 4 times its so good dont go anywhere else if you want ice cream!
Excellent place to stop for ice cream. Black raspberry is my favorite.
Simply must try this icecream! Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Nice staff.
Sweet place, delicious homeade ice cream, very nice staff!
Great ice cream, friendly people.
Ethan makes the best peppermint stick ice cream. Thank you.
The best mint leaf chocolate chip I have tasted anywhere in the world!
Theres no doubt about it. This is the best ice cream in South Portland.
Needed a dairy free option last time we visited.
Best ice cream in South Portland. Always get the salt caramel.
SEA SALT EVERYTHING AND IT IS GLORIOUS!
Mmmmm good homemade ice cream !!!
Absolutely wonderful. How can a place be anything but when they have brandied brownie ice cream.
Great ice cream, friendly staff,cone sizes are very good for the servings!
Really enjoyed the ice cream here. Friendly staff and local community.
Great flavors. Not cheap though.
