So underwhelming. Last night I wanted a treat so my boyfriend suggested Beal's since it's right down the street from us - the menu board, while expansive, indicated they were out of about 7 flavors and a handful of toppings. I had chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles (my go-to) and it tasted like water. Total let down.

I love visiting this Beal's location - it has an old-timey feeling, the staff are nice, and the flavors are amazing and wide-ranging. My favorite flavor is the Teaberry. This Beal's has a parking lot and is in a convenient location on Veranda Street in the Back Bay area of Portland. There is only one thing this location could improve upon: I'm allergic to dairy now, so I can only enjoy the sorbet, which isn't amazing because it's very, very sugary - I've had amazing plant-based ice creams, and would love it if Beal's could add some to their menu!

We had heard a lot about this place so decided to try it and we ended up going back twice in one week. I'm giving them three stars for a few reasons though. Their tax is 8% which brings up the price a lot. They are quite expensive for an ice cream place and even though we went twice in one week we will be saving this place for a special treat. They also only take cash which we didn't realize on getting there. Tasty ice cream but taken back at the prices.

I understand it's a tradition to have high school kids work at an ice cream shop like beals as another viewer has said but every time I have been here the kids are rude and half the time don't give you a money's worth for the cost of this stuff. Tried it a few times now and definitely don't think it's worth the cash we pay.

Love stopping here for icecream after a day at the beach! So many flavors to choose from so everyone is sure to find something that pleases them :) Only thing is remember your cash- they don't take cards!

I was at Beal's yesterday and spent almost 20 dollars on ice cream, I was there with 2 others. The ice cream was superb per normal, however the girl that took our order, Kayleigh (Kaley?) seemed like she was the most unhappiest girl in the world and kept looking at the 3 of us up and down as if we each had 4 heads. The girl is working for a famous ice cream company, a local treasure and it needs a much more friendlier front man. The other girls working that day were fine.

CASH ONLY! And a little pricy with long lines... But their hard serve coconut froyo is great! The servers are young; mostly high school and college students.

Beals, to me, is one of those places that used to be something very, very special in it's prime. The Malia family purchased the ice cream shop from Roy Beal in 1998. Since then they crank out homemade ice cream using what sounds like an exclusive and proprietary base mix on small batch machines, but... where has the quality gone over the years? Now with stores in Gorham, Scarborough, South Portland, and multiple in Portland anybody in the epiceinter of the Cumberland County area can indulge on a scoop of ice cream, or yogurt, sorbet, or sugar-free with impressive flavors like Apple Crisp, Indian Pudding, and Whoopie Pie. But - to me - it's a hard sell when there are so many other local frozen dairy stores producing a better quality product. Ice cream that not only has expectational flavors that you can actually taste the individual components of, but also offering competitive pricing, and sometimes a nicer staff to boot. Don't get me wrong, I think it's tradition that ice cream parlors in Maine hire high school students for the summer - that's been happening for decades upon decades. I just wonder if the girls running the shops in 1954 were a little nicer than the girls running the shops in 2014. Every time I've been to a Beal's in the past year, no employee has ever smiled. No employee has said "please" or "thank you." They just sort of make your ice cream to their own standards, throw it to you out the window, and wait expectantly for you to toss them back cash. The last time I was here was for my sister - whenever she visits, she always gets three scoops of Teaberry ice cream (who know that so few places in the world made this flavor; and if they do, they don't add the chocolate chips like Beal's does). It's a "MUST DO" on her trip every time she's here, because she loves it so very much. I will never not take her here when she's visiting me in Portland. But... but... while she's blissfully floating away to Ice Cream La La Land, I'm pondering when and where I can throw away my cone: the most recent being Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. Years and years ago that used to be one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES (I even mentioned it in a book once), you could taste the deep, decadent chocolate ice cream along with the sweet, innocent, refreshing raspberry in it, too. But every time I've tried in the past two years it's tastes like generic, freezer-burnt chocolate along with whatever the scoop was previously used on - this time peppermint and banana. The ice cream itself leaves me feeling super "flemmy" (pass the water, please!) and irritated at how much money I just spent on it. So, I'm glad it's a business filled with tradition; I'll always take my sister here for Teaberry and to play our "Tourist/No Tourist" game... I just wished they'd focus more on the quality (and some manners) like they once did.

Sadly disappointed by my first stop at Beal's this year. I ordered the moose trails and thought that I would be getting an ice cream similar to the Gifford's moose tracks with the chocolate fudge and mini peanut butter cups. What I got instead was a slightly freezer burnt vanilla ice cream with a chocolate syrup swirl rather than a fudge and only 3 small peanut butter cups in my entire dish. At $3.50 for a small, I'll be getting the half gallon of Gifford's next time at the grocery store or choosing a different ice cream shop.

For what I get, Beal's is wonderful. I've grown addicted to their peppermint stick ice cream, and I've discovered that the best pairing for it is orange-pineapple (I earned the approval of a hardened high-school student server the last time I ordered this combo). I like ice cream but a little goes a long way with me, so it's nice that Beal's is willing to split a small between two flavors. The other flavors I've tried have been less good: cake batter was just OK, with none of the fizzy tartness I'd expect; salted caramel had little or no flavor, save for the distracting candy-bombs of chocolate-covered caramel sprinkled throughout; and Kahlúa fudge was so bland, so far from the rich murkiness promised by its name, that I seriously contemplated quitting halfway through my kiddie cone. The root beer float, a favorite of mine, is really solid here. One good thing is that they seem to use real sugar, not like other places I've known that try and pass off the thin, sour flavor of corn syrup as dessert. The sugar cones are good. This location has compostable wooden spoons, which I love. It's not the tastebud orgy you'll get at Catbird Creamery, but I can't run to Westbrook for every ice cream craving. For every day, Beal's hits the sweet spot of price, flavor, and location.

Excellent sundaes- try the Elvis. Perfect excuse to take a break from a bike ride- it's just off the Back Cove.

This place has great ice cream but it is unacceptably expensive. A banana split was $6.08, but after adding nuts and tax it came to about $7.35. As outrageous as that is, there wasn't even a whole banana in it! I'd say it had about a third of a banana. Pretty ridiculous for that price, if you ask me. I won't be going back to Beal's as long as there are more affordable options around.
