Beals Old Fashioned Ice Cream

Cute spot for ice cream on the go. Despite the long line and long wait, the ice cream shop had a variety of selection and friendly staff members. Even with a wide variety, stuck to the chocolate soft serve and was not disappointed. It was smooth and had an enriched chocolate taste. My husband had the Whoopie pie flavored ice cream and was not disappointed either. Tasted just like a cold Whoopie pie. Really enjoyed the cute artsy vibe and but wish there were more than three seating indoors or even outdoors as the ice cream was melting in the heat. I had to literally pause in the middle of the shop to quickly eat my soft serve as it was oozing out. Shout out to the employee for looking out with a cup just in case it fell out.

Heard they had Teaberry flavor, one of my all time favorites. Went and was told would be delivered tomorrow. Went back and the young ladies here were kind enough to get it from the back for me. It was fantastic. Went back the next day for seconds. Very cordial young ladies working there. Keep them all around!!!

A landmark in the Old Port, the doors of Beal’s Ice Cream remain open even in the dead of Maine’s winters. The rotating menu includes both basic and inventive ice cream flavors, including seasonal specialties such as Pumpkin and Indian Pudding. Although this downtown locale lacks the pastoral charm of other local creameries, it makes for a perfect stop when strolling the cobblestone Old Port streets.
