This Mouthwatering Ice Cream Trail In Maine Is The Sweetest Adventure In The State

I scream, you scream, we all scream for…eating as much ice cream as possible in one weekend in Maine! If you can’t get enough of this cold and creamy sweet treat, we recommend you jump in the car with your favorite people and check out the best ice cream in Maine.

From cones covered in sprinkles to cups overflowing with chocolate sauce, there’s not a bad option in the bunch. And, hey – if you’d rather have some solid alone time with your ice cream, leave everyone behind and make this a solo, self-discovery journey. No shame in that game. Or in eating an ice cream cone alone at the side of the road.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

What is the most famous ice cream shop in Maine?

If you’re looking for an ice cream shop in Maine that dishes up some of the biggest helpings of ice cream, look no further than the famous Fielder’s Choice. The family-owned ice cream shop offers some of the best homemade ice cream around. Choose from such delicious flavors as orange pineapple. You can also top your ice cream with an assortment of popular toppings – from peanuts to M&Ms.

For some of the best hard scoop ice cream in Maine, head to Beal’s Ice Cream. You’ll find multiple locations of the charming ice cream shop that sells all of the classics, like chocolate and vanilla, and some pretty unique flavors too. Try the whoopie pie or the peanut butter montage, for example.

Where can I find the best desserts in Maine?

Find some of the best desserts in Maine at Good Pie Bakery & Gourmet Kitchen in Belgrade. The charming bakery serves such delicious desserts as blueberry, meringue, and pumpkin. If you’re hungry for a meal, however, start by ordering a chicken pot pie, a spinach tart, or a homemade quiche.

If you love homemade pie, you can’t go wrong at Helen’s Restaurant in Machias. In fact, you’ll have eight taste-tantalizing flavors from which to choose – from wild blueberry pie to raspberry pie. Take your dessert to the next level with a hearty helping of vanilla ice cream on top. (Don’t forget to check out the meals menu too while you’re at Helen’s.)

Can I visit any drive-thru ice cream parlors in Maine?

Fielder’s Choice in Maine is the perfect spot to get ice cream from the drive-thru. However, if you prefer a walk-up window, you’ll definitely want to check out Red’s Dairy Freeze in South Portland. The seasonal ice cream shop has been a local favorite for decades, serving such favorites as freshly-made strawberry soft serve ice cream. Walk up to order your ice cream then chat with neighbors as you dig in.
