Captain Sam's family run, homemade ice cream parlor in Portland, Maine. Their shop is situated on 136, commercial street on the Portland pier and is definitely a tourist hot spot. Right outside, there's a crocodile named Rufus who welcomes you with an ice cream cone> https://www.instagram.com/p/BSgqn4OBSUO/?taken-by=ahvanya744
I picked the salted caramel flavour in a cake cone and it was absolutely divine devouring it under the Portland sun. |
