The Mosquito Ice Cream Shop — Restaurant in Raymond

I arrived here around 4PM. At that time, I had been awake since 3AM, two time zones to the west, and had traveled over 1700 miles by aeroplane and 120 miles in a motor coach to reach this establishment. My objective? Acquire a scoop of Graham Central Station for my fair maiden who had not had a lick of this mythical ice cream flavor cross her tongue in months.

Unfortunate circumstances out of anyone’s control that arose mere moments earlier resulted in the establishment closing for an unknown amount of time, just before my arrival. In the moment of intense disappointment, a kind woman approached me in the parking lot. She introduced herself as the owner and proprietor of the establishment. I explained my quandary to her, and without hesitation she offered to personally bring my party two of the largest scoops of Graham Central Station she could gather. Mere seconds later, she not only returned as promised with two sizable goblets of the aforementioned ice cream, but REFUSED to accept my legal US tender and insisted we accept the gracious gift.

The next day; we returned for more, and were more than happy to pay.

Absolutely the best experience I have and will ever have at an ice...

✳️CASH ONLY✳️

One of my ice cream loving husband's favorite places. And he may, or may not, have sampled most of the ice cream in Maine. 😉😆🤫

We love the staff/owners at this friendly place in Raymond, Maine. A long list of ice cream flavors, plus other options, including my husband's favorite brownie sundae.

Very creamy and full flavored ice cream with delicious baked goods (cookies, brownies, etc).

There's a cute dining area in the screened in porch or you can enjoy your treat outdoors, but keep in mind, it's aptly named The Mosquito, with a lovely view of a marshy area and the expected flying insects.

Highly recommend a visit to this seasonal Maine ice cream shop when you're in the lakes...

CASH ONLY, BEWARE!(only reason for the 4 stars)

they make their own insanely delicious ice cream and the options are literally limitless!!. I could come here 100 times and still have something different. I REALLY WISH THEY HAD ANOTHER WAY TO PAY! with COVID times people just don't carry cash anymore, even if they offered to pay Venmo or use the square program. I know I keep forgetting this and they missed out on my business at least 5 times this year already cause of this.

This place is true to it's namesake, WEAR bugspray or be bitten!!

It's 1000% worth coming to this...
