If you live in or are visiting South Portland, particularly the Willard Beach area, you have to try Willard Scoops! All of their ice cream is made in house…I have never had blueberry ice cream as good as theirs. The mint leaf chip is out of this world.I’m not really an ice cream eater, but Willard Scoops is making me a convert!

This place is a little local gem! Best ice cream I’ve had in awhile (especially salt caramel and maple walnut!) and they make everything from scratch in small batches. Highly recommend! ☺️

Very nice ice-cream place. The staff is super nice. The young lady was very patient allowing us to try. Thumbs up to her. Took two scoops - coffee Oreo and the cheesecake tart. Both are really good.

Scoops is filled with delicious ice cream flavors. While you may have a wait, it’s well worth it. You’ll be greeted by a hard working team members. They are very professional and courteous. Join me in trying all flavors this summer and sign up for their “stars” program and eat your way to a free ice cream. Also don’t forget to get a pup cup for your best friend. Come join the Scoops family experience.

Some of the best ice cream in New England! We got one scoop of carrot cake and wild me blueberry and loved both of them. We were pleasantly surprised by just how much flavor there was. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to the Portland area!

No pictures because the ice cream was eaten so quickly. Especially creamy product. made from high quality ingredients. Sunburn flavor=strawberry +habanero, or traditional chocolate or coffee-all good. Chocolate sauce is terrific! Worth a detour!

A great scoop at a reasonable price in a great little neighborhood in South Portland. My wife and daughter and I stopped in last week and enjoyed our ice cream at their outdoor seating. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.

If you are a local or visiting you NEED this ice cream. I am often a purist (boring) with ice cream but the creative flavors are amazing. My favorites are the coffee Oreo, Pb Fluff and the “Sunburn” is fantastic-strawberry ice cream with jalapeño I think?-just the right balance without anything too overpowering.I have to back up the shop here in defending the price raises-quality homemade ice cream is expensive (even without crazy inflation) as is paying for good labor-the staff/service is great. The portions are also generous and the prices are reasonable. I will always support local businesses and this one is a gem.

Indeed good quality ice cream. We found this place from Google map while visiting the town, tried four different flavors and they are all pretty good. I personally enjoyed the Chocolate with Sea Salt and Dark Roast Coffee. And their Blueberry Cheese Cake was pretty good according to my wife.

Fantastic, house-made ice cream! This is my favorite stop when I'm in the area! Staff is super friendly.

Gotta say.....GREAT ice cream. The mint has mint leaves right in it....very authentic. The salted caramel comes a couple of ways (chip, nuts) and is really excellent. Just great ice cream. The only BUT is the price....$6.00 for a one-scoop cone. I'm from Vermont and a pint of B&J is still $4.75. But we're here in So. Portland on vacation, so because of the price we went twice in a week rather than every day.

I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur and it pains me to reveal this because I don't want to wait in a long line but Willard Scoops is AMAZING. I swear an acutal WIZARD is making their ice cream. The taste and texture is absolutely unsurpassed. Think of the best ice cream you've ever had and then square that and multiply it by 15. That is Willard Scoops. Ok, don't say I never did you any favors.

I've been enjoying ice cream from Willard Scoops for many years! As someone who adores ice cream, it's always been easy to recommend this sweet spot to others.All of this said, over the years I've become increasingly disappointed by the prices. Due to the exceptional quality of products, the pandemic, and the fact that it's a local business, I've been able to rationalize the price in the past but I don't think I can do so any longer. For the 2022 season, a Pint of ice cream is now $10.75 and 1 Scoop of ice cream is $6.

Friendly staff and amazing ice cream flavors. Nice seating area next to the building. Thanks for everything. Try the hot fudge.

Shop was clean and cute, the guy working the counter was friendly and helpful. Salted caramel was the BEST! nice and rich with chunks of caramel chocolate, I think, but not sure. Tables outside were comfortable, umbrellas to keep out the misting rain (or sun but not needed yesterday). I bring my dad here every Father's day.

I love that they make the ice cream right in the shop and use good ingredients like fresh mint leaves and Maine Blueberries!

Super cosy ice cream shop with delicious and generous ice creams. We got free melted chocolate fudge on top of ours as it was national ice cream day, sooo good 😋

This is my favorite ice cream place in the country. I think about it all the time and judge all other ice cream against it (which is sad because I’m always disappointed at other places). I’m glad I don’t live here because I’d be coming all the time.

My son and I drove over from Westbrook yesterday to try this place out. It was okay, but not as awesome as other reviews lead me to believe. My son ordered their chocolate ice cream which was actually pretty good, very chocolatey, like a frozen hot cocoa or a frosty. I ordered their strawberry ice cream - we have a thing for strawberry ice cream and one of us always orders it anytime we stop for ice cream somewhere - and, while it was good, it definitely wasn't as rich and creamy as Beals or Gifford's ice cream and no where near the awesomeness that was Catbird Creamery (we're still looking for a replacement; we miss you so much, Catbird!) Both had an average milkfat content, nothing all that special.If you're a fan of soft serve, you'll be disappointed here as they don't have it.

Cute little ice cream shop tucked away in a neighborhood in South Portland. Limited street parking is available directly in front of their location. They have several picnic tables and chairs to sit at while you enjoy your ice cream. Really glad we found this little place on our recent trip to Portland!

Great creative homemade ice cream at a reasonable price. In regards to comments about the ice cream being pricey, go to the store and buy fresh whole cream, sugar, milk, and other ingredients. Making great, real ice cream is expensive! Great job with the ice cream, my family loved it while we were in the area visiting. We just intended to try it once but ended up going back again because it was so good and there were so many flavors we all wanted to try!

While visiting family we stumbled upon this gem! I walked in feeling a little overwhelmed by all the amazing flavor options. The staff was helpful, kind, and patient with me and we walked out with delicious ice cream! Their blueberry flavor was the best tasting ice cream I've ever eaten and their coffee cookie ice cream was creamy goodness. I wish we had more time, I would have stopped again!!

Great little ice cream shop serving up some flavors not seen elsewhere. Very good - but not exceptional - shop made ice cream. I've had creamier. Nice little picnic bench area to relax and enjoy
