Italian-style gelato with deeply rich, authentic flavors right in Old Port. It is the best gelato this side of Italy and a perfect way to cool off after wondering the waterfront and grabbing dinner.
Mount Desert Island Ice Cream $
Handmade ice cream and sorbet with interesting seasonal flavors like “The Dude” which is a white Russian flavored treat.
Down Front Ice Cream $
Casual ice cream shop on Peaks Island. It is not homemade, but from Giffords which is a company based in Maine. Nice break when you are exploring the island

Portland’s famous Maine potato donuts with rotating daily flavors. Locals line up for these early in the day as they usually sell out. Go before noon if you want a chance, but earlier is better.
Gross Confection Bar $$-$$$
