Mount Desert Island Ice Cream

The best ice cream we have ever had. All other ice cream is ruined now. The Fresh Mint tasted like an actual mint leaf. Not mint flavored, or mint extract, but an actual real life mint leaf. It was amazing.

Oooo it is gooood! They had a bunch of funky flavors, but there was only one way to go for this Harry Potter fan: butterbeer ice cream. It was soooo creamy and smooth and delicious. I can't really describe the flavor but I'm a fan. The staff was super friendly, I will definitely come back for more.

The ice cream was absolutely delicious. The bottom layer was reminiscent of a Girl Scout thin mint cookie, while the top layer featured Maine blueberries with a crumble inside. This was definitely the best ice cream I've ever tasted, and it was reasonably priced as well. I will definitely be returning for more! View menu

While waiting for my luggage at PWM airport, I stumbled upon this amazing restaurant! It was so good that I made sure to visit again on my way back home a week later. The coffee ice cream was incredibly flavorful and delicious. My top choices were the blueberry sweet cream and lemon poppy jam. I highly recommend opening up a location in Texas, specifically Sugar Land.

Love going to ice cream shops with unique/interesting flavors and this one definitely met my expectations! I ended up indulging in Bay of Figs Lemon Poppy Seed Berry Swirl a killer combo that satisfied beyond what I anticipated! I was torn on getting Kelp Caramel and/or Butterscotch Miso was a bit bummed that we weren’t able to taste test before ordering. Nonetheless, my sister ended up getting the other two I was between so I still got to enjoy them! As odd as they may sound, they were both super tasty too!

Omg! I love the flavors here! My single (actually two scoops) was so good, I came back for round 2 for a repeat the next day. I got Lamington (coconut base,etc) and Salted Caramel. I wish I could have it shipped! I checked this location out while visiting Portland from the DC area and was bummed I hadn't heard of one in the DC area....until I searched on IG/Google and discovered there's a DC location too! Will definitely visit that location (DC) too even though they may not have all the same flavors as this Portland location. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in Portland too. View menu

this is my favorite place for sorbet in the inner city of portland. mdi ice cream has in the regular a few different flavors of sorbet, and they change the offers regularly. everything is unique. some of the options they could find are blueberry basilikum, nectarin champagne, pearseriesling, and mango jicama habanero?! if they are a vegetarian and ice cream fan, their milk is produced locally, and they have musheleis. yum. the people who work here are always beautiful, and they are great to share rehearsals. so if they are not sold on the sawed woman sorbet, they can always try it first.

This is my favorite place for sorbet in downtown Portland. MDI Ice Cream usually has a few different flavors of sorbet, and they change the offerings on a regular basis. Everything is unique. Some of the options you might find include blueberry basil, nectarine champagne, pear riesling, and mango jicama habanero ?!? If you are a vegetarian and ice cream fan, their dairy is locally sourced, and they have nutella ice cream. Yum. The folks who work here are always nice, and they are great about sharing samples. So, if you aren't sold on the scorned woman sorbet, you can always try it out first.

Mount Desert Island Ice Cream has five shops mainly located in Portland, with additional locations in the District of Columbia and Japan. We visited their Portland location for the first time and were impressed by the delicious ice cream. The ice cream is made in small batches with a high ratio of butterfat and low air whipped inside, showcasing their dedication to quality. The flavors were all tasty and the atmosphere was cozy and simple. They don't list all flavors on the wall, so you'll have to visit to see the full selection. The line can get long quickly, so arriving early is recommended. The counter service was friendly and efficient. If you're in Portland, Maine and looking for unique... View menu
