The Maine Scoop Company — Restaurant in Scarborough

Loved the ice cream here! If you're looking for non-dairy ice cream that doesn't taste like coconut, this is your place! They had a few oatmilk-based ice creams that taste like real ice cream.

There were tons of gluten free options—including a GF waffle cone which you do not see everywhere.
