Best place for ice cream?

Loony Singer · 05-26-2010, 03:36 PM

Last year, a new ice cream shop opened in Center Harbor, just up from Heath's. He had some difficulty getting all of his work done and permits lined up, so he didn't open til fairly late in the season. Seemed like a very nice young guy. Hope he'll be around again this year. Anyone have an update??

Has anyone tried Smith's Candy and Ice Cream in downtown Alton? Passed it on the way to Johnson's last night...which was excellent as always.

Once. It was freezer burnt and awful. I don't remember the brand and it may have been a good one but the condition of the product was bad....

Shanes of Maine is also served at the Rt 16 Dairy Bar in Ossipee. There have been several mentions of Sandwich Creamery. I know that you can purchase it in some of the local markets but is there a location where you can "belly up to the bar" and eat some?

I can't tell if you're asking if Shain's or Sandwich has their own site where you can go... But I know that Shane's does - it's on Route 109 in South Sanford, Maine, after the Route 4/Route 109 intersection. They have a great restaurant there - perfect place for lunch - and it's on the way to the beach. Can't be beat!

Of course you can get Shain's all over New England and I've always felt at home when I see it up this way...

The best place to buy it is at the creamery itself.....very late at night. They run an honor system there. You go into this little porch where there is a cooler filled with pints/quarts of various flavors. There is a slot where you can leave your money and sign their guest book. Really cool drive late at night or early morning down some really dark dirt roads in the middle of nowhere.

That is great info- I ride by there on my bike once a week or so (for those looking for a nice ride try 113A out, it is real nice (not the asphalt though)) and have often wondered if there was even a retail store there let alone a 24X7 self-serve bonanza!!

They're now open all week for the summer season. Hours are Monday-Friday 3-8pm and Saturday & Sunday 11:30am-8pm.

Not in the Lakes Region, but the absolute best ice cream in the world is at the Creamery at Penn State - where, Ben & Jerry, Hagen Das and many other ice cream hall of famers learned their craft. The world's leading (80%) butter cream content!

It's called Dewey's and I believe they're already open.
