They had a lot of ice cream flavors. It was really good.
This ice cream is amazing!! I find ice cream places everywhere we go and this is by far one of the best!! The flavors are so exact and flavorful!! The staff is so fun and enthusiastic!! ❤️
This may have been the best ice cream I have ever had! I had the blueberry and it had such excellent, fresh blueberry flavor. And creamy!! There were four of us, I tasted everyone else’s, and they were all every bit as good! And did I mention how friendly and helpful the staff was?? Do not miss stopping here anytime you’re in Boothbay!

Downeast Ice Cream Factory in Boothbay Harbor is a must-visit for ice cream lovers. Nestled right on the pier, this charming shop has been scooping up smiles since 1979. It offers an array of over 70 unique homemade flavors, including favorites like Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Chocolate Fudge Oreo, Maine Blueberry, and Peanut Butter Fantasy. Each flavor has a creamy texture and rich, authentic taste, made in small batches. The staff is passionate about their craft, serving joy alongside every scoop, even during busy evenings. One reviewer noted that despite a busy night with a line of eight people, the staff member handled it with aplomb and a great sense of humor. Portion sizes are generous, with a one scoop cup filled to nearly 2 1/2 scoops of ice cream. There are plenty of topping options, along with items like sundaes. While the prices are a little high, this sweet spot is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Some visitors mentioned that the eating areas could use more frequent cleaning, making it harder to find a place to sit inside. However, Downeast Ice Cream Factory remains highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in quality ice cream in a setting with a retro vibe, embodying the sweetness of summer all year round.
