Best ice-cream in Bar Harbor. Very friendly staff. Love all their unique flavors. One of my mandatory places to visit when in town.

Mount Desert Island Ice Cream is definitely a place to stop at when visiting MDI. While I think serving prices are a little high, for the quality, it is well worth it. Besides going to the location in Bar Harbor, I’ve also worked at a restaurant that carries their ice cream and after tasting many flavors on a fairly regular basis, I can say it’s some great ice cream. My favorite is probably sea salt caramel, though I’ve never been disappointed with any other selection

The staff was super friendly and the flavors were to die for. I personally got a scoop of nutella ice cream, which you already know would be a winner. I highly reccomend stopping by after a long hike!

Post-dinner… My husband and I shared 1 scoop on a waffle cone: «blueberry cream cheese streusel» and«butterbeer». $ 4.50 Both were really good! Girl on staff was friendly. It’s competing with two other ice cream dives on the square. The president and his family ever visited this ice cream shop and got a cone of «butterbeer», which I found interesting! Although they were open until nine and we walked in at six, I assume they were closing up… Or perhaps they were sold-out of half of the flavors. There wasn’t any seating, but it’s nice to walk back out onto the square and walk around or sit at a bench in the mini park nearby.

While paying for souvenirs, the cashier recommended Mount Desert Island as the place to go for some yummy ice cream. She mentioned that the owner makes her own flavors. Of course we had to go try it out! I tried the buttercream mint, I think it was, and although it sounded a bit odd, was really good! I settled for a scoop of the coffee and the cookies and cream on a waffle cone while the hubby had 2 scoops of something miso. He said the miso one was really good as well. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!

Creative & delicious flavors! They offer ice creams and sorbets. I had the ice cream. A «single» is $ 3.95 and you can mix two flavors. I had the lemon poppyseed with blackberry swirl and the blueberry sour cream. Both were delicious, just enjoy flavor and perfect creamy texture. My husband tasted the blackstrap banana(with has molasses), and the boiled coffee. But in the end got the same thing that I got. Next time we go(tomorrow), he’ll get those. :-)

There are plenty of places to get ice cream in bar harbor but hands down this is my favorite place. They have the best selection of flavors and their ice cream is decadent. Everything is amazing from the simple flavors like cookies and Maine cream to the absurd like coriander blackberry streusel, you will be pleasantly surprised by things you never thought would pair together. And their waffle cones are your best bet to be able to hold all the ice cream! Their menu is deceiving in a good way, a single is actually two scoops! And a double four! Winning!

Obama-approved! Wackier flavors than Ben & Bill’s down the street, with half of the foot traffic. I agonized between the cookies and Maine crème, the blackberry basil sorbet, and the blueberry sour cream before finally giving in to the bay of figs. I downed that sucker in less than five minutes despite repeated mental urges to savor each bite. Prices are on the higher end of the scale, given its location in downtown Bar Harbor. There is a small seating area and a bench facing Village Green. A perfect evening would be taking a cone over to the park and watching the band play.

I came here every day I was here in Bar Harbor. There were so many unique flavors but my favorites are the Blueberry Sour Cream and Khulfi. Everything is housemade and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. There is something for everyone. You get to pick two flavors if you order the single scoop. Cannot go wrong there. A must try when you’re on the island.

My blueberry and cookies and cream ice cream were over the top delicious! So creamy and rich(in a good way!), and not overly sweet. Definitely going back! Also, most of their ice cream is doggie friendly! Except chocolate, obviously… :-)
