I love ice cream and I want to visit Bellingham!

From the Bellingham Herald 7-23-06:

From the boss: “Mallard makes gourmet small-batch ice cream out of real food ingredients, with an emphasis on local and organic ingredients. We’re serving extremely fresh gourmet ice cream in a really colorful, fun, welcoming environment.”

Ben Scholtz, owner
Reader rave: “I just love it because they use the flavors of the season, like strawberry. After the (Bellingham) Farmers Market we always stop at Mallard for ice cream. There’s a really nice feeling in there.”

Wendy Urquhart, Laurel
Highlights: It may have moved recently to futuristically furnished new digs on Railroad Avenue (nab a seat near the fabulous fireplace), but this local favorite still dishes out the same homemade, sinfully rich and exotically flavored ice cream.
A glance around Mallard shows a mix of families, college kids, high school students and young couples in hog heaven. They’re all slurping up cones and sundaes made from inspired concoctions such as mint chocolate chip, exotica rose petal and black pepper flavors.
For the calorie conscious there are fat-free (but no less scrumptious) fruit sorbets.
