“Gelato Fiasco was one of our favorite dessert stops in Portland. The whole experience is incredibly easy and fun—they’ll let you sample whatever flavors you want, and when you’re ready, you can build your cup with as many different flavors as you’d like.

Everything we tried was delicious. The gelato is very light and smooth, so even after trying several flavors it never felt overly heavy or too sweet. There’s also enough variety that it’s easy to find something for everyone.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while we sampled our way through the options, which made the experience even better.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend Gelato Fiasco. If you’re looking for ice cream or gelato in Portland, this is easily one of the top spots in the city.“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

Dear Dairy Ice Cream Ice Cream Shop • $
160 Presumpscot St, Portland

“As an avid ice cream lover, I can confidently say Dear Dairy's ice cream is undoubtedly the absolute best I have ever had... I've never been to their storefront, but I found their ice cream at my local dairy barn in a small town in Maine. I do not foresee myself stumbling upon anything better anytime soon. The flavors are the most rich I have ever tasted. My personal favorites are Sourdough Cookie and Vanilla de Veracruz. This is the best vanilla ice cream I think I will ever have in my entire life, and that's not an exaggeration. Please do not ever retire this one; I simply don't know what I would do!“

“My son has been asking for sonic ice cream since summer began. Deering ice cream was the only person/place/truck who had sonic. (And we've been to a lot). He was helpful to keep me informed of his location, as I drove to find him.(he is a movie ice cream truck after all). I drove 30mins to another town to hunt down the ice cream man for my son and IT WAS WORTH IT. Super kind gentle man! Great variety of ice cream choices“

The gondola in the bar is always a fun little spot to sit. Such a great space on Wharf St, especially when the snow is falling. Food is warm and lovely, and the staff is always happy to see you. 100/10.“

“The ice cream was great. If you are nearby definitely stop in and get some!! What I didn't like is there is virtually no seating. (3 stools at the window) and nothing even outside really. Not sure how they can be fixed. Seemed like the counter didnt need to be as far into the room as it was which took up a lot of space. So plan to grab your icecream and take it with you or find a lovely bench nearby instead. I also didn't love that you can't sample. The ice cream flavors are unique which is delicious and a bonus; but you have to just take a leap if faith. I understand the fear during covid but many places give samples again and I hope they reconsider. THE ICE CREAM IS DELICIOUS THOUGH. Very creamy wonderful unique flavors and some classics too. If you are an adventurous eater; this is a place for you. Also watch your step on the way in or out.“
