Mount Desert Island Ice Cream

We don't hesitate to say that this is the best ice cream in Maine (and we tried a lot). Creative flavors and interesting combinations, all of which are delicious, make Mount Desert Island unique.

Salt and Straw

This ice cream shop originated in Portland. It has since expanded to some other cities (like San Francisco), but the ice cream is wonderful. They have a rotating board of monthly flavors always using innovative and local ingredients, as well as regular list.

Rocambolesc

This funky ice cream shop off of La Rambla is reminiscent of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory in its decoration and serves up wonderful gelato concoctions.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

The best ice cream we've found in Washington. Jeni's is a chain originating in Ohio that prides itself on creative flavors and high quality. You can get a cup or cone, and they also offer flights, permitting you to sample more flavors in smaller portions.
