Beals Ice Cream - Portland

The coffee chip cup I had hit the spot, and the rest of the family found flavors to pick out too. The setting and location clearly hit the mark. The service was ready and cheerful. The flavors are more “solidly compact” and emphasize taste than those that try for texture, novelty, or innovation. It’s old school in that sense and must be approached that way.

Not the best, but certainly not the worst. The menu is very uniquely designed with a ton of flavors and toppings. The ice cream is pretty creamy! I would recommend. My parents have loved this ice cream for over 30 years, so maybe I’m just picky, but certainly atleast give them a try

It 's close to home and they offer what they call 'Mongrel Monday ' ... a free doggy sundae (vanilla softserve with a bone). I find the portions are sometimes smaller than other places, and flavors are limited at times, but we still go because it 's delicious ice cream!

Always great ice cream and friendly staff. They have been out of Oreo the past two times I've been there, but moose tracks is a decent substitute! I do wish they were on some kind of delivery service :

Beal's is fantastic! I've been a customer of the Old Port location for many many years, and the variety of flavors plus the quality of the ice cream is unmatched. It's a Portland institution for a reason, and a must-visit for anyone in town during the spring and summer months!
