MAINE MAKER MONDAY | Melissa Lombardi | Twirl

January 22, 2024

What’s your business name and what do you do?

  • Twirl. My team and I craft cute & custom ice creams at the Public Market in Monument Square.

How did you learn your craft?

  • Trial and error + practice + many years working FOH in PWM. My biz started as a food truck in 2019 and the learning curve was steep!

What do you enjoy most about what you do?

  • Chatting--everyone has something to say about ice cream-- a fond memory, a dream cream flavor suggestion, a confession they don't like cold food...:D

What do you enjoy least?

  • It's messy and labor-intensive

What’s one thing you wish people knew about your work?

  • Every ice cream is made to order but we start with already made vanilla or chocolate--I compare it to ice cream-tending...

What’s one artist you look up to?

  • I look up to my creative crafty maker friends, supporting themselves and doing their art--it's hard to pick just one!

What do you do when you’re not at Twirl?

  • I am really into Aqua Fitness and I hope to start teaching soon, so I currently spend time away from Twirl in the pool (shout out @healthcoaches Stevens Square) and studying inertia, etc. for the certification.

Night owl or early bird?

  • Whooooo, me? Night owl!

What's your favorite place in Maine?

  • Any pal's backyard, wherever they live in Maine. I also love Thunderhole :D
