Vegan Friday’s are great! - Edit
I enjoyed the dark chocolate and hazelnut gelato. We went on a Friday so the selection was vast.

Best gelato ever - Edit
I had the vegan almond and the vegan chocolate gelato. It tasted just as good as the ones I had in Rome. So good!

Nice fruit sorbets - Edit
Loved the cranberry sorbet. Had lots of pieces of cranberries in it. The owners make their own gelato.

Delicious - Edit
Gorgeous gelato has their vegan flavors very clearly marked, which was about 5 different flavors . I tried the cinnamon gelato which was absolutely delicious. They also had a very other fruit based flavors but the cinnamon was so unique I had to get that one! They also had sugar cones that are vegan.

GREAT FOR ALLERGIES - Edit
I travelled to Maine with the help of my mother (so allergic to milk and soy that she could be taken down with a singular slap to the face with a weird edamame extra cheese pizza slice), father (Omnivore that was probably trying to eat that pizza, and myself (a vegan with a peanut allergy that is morally opposed to the pizza in general.)
Read moreAfter dinner I experienced the usual craving for chocolate and the blood of my enemies, so went with the former and got gelato. Now this gelato will not blow your mind in terms of flavour selection, BUT it will be safe for those with allergies. I was very worried that I was going to accidentally murder my mother as the vegan flavours were alongside the regular dairy flavours in the same display case. HOWEVER, she was completely fine, so props for lack of cross contamination.
I thought the rum chocolate was very chocolatey, but not very rumey, though I can't say I've ever had rum folks. My mom thought that the flavour was 10/10 creamy, delicious, and doesn't know 'why we even need cows. . . except for pets.'
My dad ordered the espresso and loved it! 9.5/10, for my father who doesn't like sweet stuff thats high!!! Apparently very good coffee flavour.
All in all very unexpected food allergy win, huzzah.

Not impressed - Edit
They had two or three underwhelming vegan options - the guy at the counter told another customer that he’d suggest anything but the vegan options… (right as we were ordering our vegan flavors). Go to Sticky Sweet instead.

Delicious - Edit
Vegan options are clearly labeled, the staff are knowledgeable about vegan options, and they clearly make an effort to have multiple flavors and be accessible. Plus it's super tasty. I tried the mint chocolate and it was good and the cinnamon which tasted like Christmas.

So good I embarrassed myself - Edit
I visited on a whim, I just happened to be parked in front of it. There were 4 vegan options when I visited, and some of them were just sorbet. The vegan flavors were fairly basic - almond, lemon, pomegranate, and one other I can't remember. I wasn't thrilled with the options but I ordered the almond and oh my god it was AMAZING. I took a quick bite when I stepped out of the store and I swore out loud because it was so good. The vegan gelato was so good I said "GODDAMN!" out loud.
Read morePros: FLAVOR, Quality , Price is reasonable.
Cons: Vegan options are kind of basic, Sorbet is kind of boring

Rich chocolate gelato - Edit
They offered four vegan flavors when we visited: dark rich chocolate (called Whiskey Chocolate I think), blackberry, blood orange, and lime. They were all delicious.

Only sorbet - Edit
They only had sorbet when I went. Which personally I feel is not the same as vegan ice cream.

This place was great! - Edit
This little gelato place was very quaint, but also very popular and busy. There were many flavors and a good amount of vegan options. I settled for the lemoncello sorbet and did not regret it! I do recommend this place. The other people who I was with got gelato, and I only heard good things coming from them! This seemed like a very popular place in Portland Maine, and it’s great if you want an instagram picture as well.

Portland's own Little Italy - Edit
Gorgeous Gelato is just that: absolutely gorgeous!
Read moreI used to date an Italian and have eaten an abundance of incredible gelato. Don't go to any other Portland ice cream store that purports to serve "gelato" . . . they might make tasty ice cream but THIS is the real thing!
Being vegetarian I do generally get the dairy-based gelato, but my partner avoids dairy and he loves the vegan options just as much.
I am happy to hear about the expanding vegan flavors! My sense is that the owners really care about their product and providing great service and experience to their customers. I didn't know about the special Friday selections. Will have to try to align a Portland visit accordingly😄
Soooo delicious!!
Pros: Thoughtful owners who care & make amazing products, Incredible taste, quality and variety!

I tried their Mango Sorbet, it was nice. When I was there they had only sorbets no actual vegan ice-cream.

Wow - Edit
So delicious. They offer “vegan Friday’s” which gives a higher variety of vegan options. I counted 8 out of the 20 they served which was awesome. They always offer a few vegan options but Friday’s are the time to go. I recommend Hazelnut.

Yummy, organic, vegan gelato - Edit
Go on Friday nights: they have 5+ vegan options. My favorite is the chocolate hazelnut. Many like the chocolate mint chip: strong peppermint flavor. The dark chocolate is also a winner. And it's organic!!!
Read moreI belong to a vegan meetup group in Maine. Gorgeous Gelato is a friday nite summer in Maine favorite.
Pros: delicous, organic, did I say delicious?
Cons: would like more vegan options on other nites, this friday nite summer habit expands my hips!

Vegan options - Edit
When I was here there were 3 vegan options available: lemon, peach, and raspberry. I tasted all three flavors and decided on the peach, although all three were extremely sweet. I got the small and I couldn’t even finish that. It’s great that they have vegan friendly options.
