In the back of my mind I knew about MDI Ice Cream. It’s the world famous ice cream shop that started in Bar Harbor and now has shops in Portland, DC, and Japan. They make all their flavors in small batches of only five gallons at a time.

But none of that was on my mind tonight. We were just looking for some good ice cream in Bar Harbor. We walked in, ordered, and sat down with our treats. We all agreed our flavors were fabulous (Maine Sweet Cream, Butterbeer, Coffee Oreo, and Cookies & Sweet Cream). Then I realized where we were. It was like we had a blind taste test without all the hype, and it definitely lived up to it.
