Rococo Ice Cream

Rococo is Maine’s only take out ice cream and dessert bar!
Rococo Ice Cream is more than delicious ice cream; it’s about opening your mind and expanding your palate to new flavors, different cultures, and dynamic experiences with each taste. Rococo Ice Cream was founded in Kennebunkport, Maine in 2012 by Lauren Guptill. A 10th-generation Mainer, Lauren has always been deeply in love with her state, but at a young age she was also taken with a desire to see the world outside her home. This brought her to live in Argentina for several years in her 20s. It was here, among the heladerias and the vibrant energy of Buenos Aires that the inspiration for Rococo Ice Cream was born. The name, Rococo, stems from the late Baroque period, an era of art established in 18th century France and Italy. Famous artists and architects like Francois Boucher and Bartolomeo Rastrelli became well-known for their ornate and unconstrained creations which broke from the strict social confines of the Neoclassical period. Drawing her own inspiration from this art movement, Lauren designs ice cream flavors that serve not only as delicious desserts but as an example of beauty. A beauty that encapsulates the whimsical and creative essence of the artist in her kitchen. Check the website for hours.
