Best place for ice cream?

Slickcraft · 04-03-2015, 08:01 PM

Jordan's was open today 4/3/2015, two windows with lines and a full parking lot. Two scoops of black raspberry in a cup. OK the areas where the picnic tables normally are were snowbanks. But the ice cream was delicious, a taste of summer in a cup with the warm south breeze blowing.

So many good places in the Lakes Region...

I always wind up at:

1. Red Hill Dairy (seasonal)

2. Skelley's Market http://www.skelleysmarket.com/index.htm

Dewey's in Center Harbor. Red Hill Dari for soft serve.

In our experience, Jordan's in Belmont is very hard to beat.

They make their ice cream on site, unlike some others who have been mentioned on this forum who purchase their ice cream from others.

Jordan's no sugar added moose tracks is something I am addicted to- a quart lasts for about 2 man-sized servings.

They also have excellent frappes, sundaes, etc.

Second choice would be Johnson's in New Durham. Their portions are huge and the ice cream is excellent.

We go by jetski, a nice long ride. they have sugar free as well! While other by the boat places are good, this is the best on the lake.

Best of the Best in NH Magazine, Hippo Magazine and WMUR TV.

Worth the trip to Belmont. Instead of heading home on I-93, the family prefer 106 to stop at Jordan's for a treat.

Bailey's Bubble in Wolfeboro!

PENIVISA · 04-07-2015, 09:24 PM

Wherever I am on or around the lake I decide to stop for one

Wednesday's at Kellerhaus above Weirs Beach on Route 3 is dollar day for ice cream, so's for 1.09 you get a choice of about 12-home made flavors in a waffle, flat bottom, or a cup ..... plus sprinkles. And very surprisingly, Kellerhaus does not scrimp on the ice cream even on dollar day.

The coffee flavor ice cream is like the best coffee ice cream ever made in the world history of ice cream!

Whoever hires the young women that dish out the ice cream definately knows how to make a business happen!

I know it's semi lakes region but Lagos Lone Oak in Milton on old rt 16 has the best ever. Many many flavors and huge cones. Very creamy almost custard like. Well worth the drive !
Only a few of the above mentioned locales serve home made ice cream like Lone Oak does.

Actually Skelleys (convenience store) in Moultonborough has good ice cream.

MGWillia · 04-09-2015, 12:42 PM

Well, I'm sure they are not the best... I'm sure they are not the tastiest.. But it's tradition for me and mine... "A large twist please..." Shibleys Ice Cream shop at Alton Bay. Been eating it since I was a kid... As have my kids and my grands...

The 'best ice cream' is the one that is nearest to you when the mood strikes to have an ice cream. I have to be totally honest about my own ice cream habits and say that, to me, after the first couple of bites they all taste the same, quality-wise. Oh sure, if you buy a half-gallon for 79 cents it will certainly taste like 79 cents a half-gallon, but all the major brands, and all the ice cream served at the local ice cream joints, it all tastes basically the same.

I think what makes the difference is the quality service by the window personnel. Some places seem like mass-production ice cream serving machines, and others actually seem glad to see you, treat you well, and make you feel like you want to return.

Just my 79 cents worth!!

Tuesday, April 14, noon to 8-pm; free ice cream cones at the Meredith Ben & Jerry's in the Mill Yard Marketplace which is very close to the big intersection .... which has the longest stop light in the entire state..... light change cycle soooooo loooooong ..... should be easy-peasy .... to exit car for freebie ice cream....all in the same stop light cycle.....and return to car without interrupting traffic..... all good for 90-seconds .....ready-set-Ben & Jerry's!
