★★★★☆ 4.0 hillary “snazzy” maria · Jul 2025

Cute place with tasty ice cream! We had blueberry and vanilla ice cream. The marshmallow sauce is delicious and pairs well with the ice cream. The blueberry ice cream tasted a bit too artificial for my liking but it was still enjoyable. The workers are so nice and the service is quick. They also have outdoor seating

Lemme just say WOW. Ice cream was fantastic. Portions were amazing for the price you pay. Huge flavor list for everyone. Service was quick for the line there was. I got two scoops of ice cream with whip cream. The Banana Cream Pie flavor and Campfire S’mores were top notch. My boyfriend got the Maine Black Bear and Vanilla Caramel Pretzel. Highly recommend.

This year’s fall lineup is so good I’m thinkin’ about pitching a tent in the parking lot until they kick me out or plow me in. My new cold-weather survival kit? Pumpkin, Caramel Apple, Pumpkin Pie, Butter Pecan, and Maple Walnut. One bite and I swear I heard a loon call, smelled a wood stove, and felt my Nana hand me a sweater. And if that ain’t your jam, go for the Berries Basket: Cherry Blossom, Strawberry, Wild Maine Blueberry, Black Raspberry, and Vanilla Bean. It’s like summer in a cup—with whipped cream on top—without the mosquitoes, the blackflies, or Uncle Ray yellin’ at the grill because the propane tank’s empty. Ten outta ten, worth the drive no matter where you live—unless you live in New Hampshire, the

Yum yum and yum! I think that's really all that needs to be said! Great service as well. Plenty of parking. The strawberry shortcake sundae was amazing! And it's made with biscuits! Yes, please! They also offer sugar-free ice cream. For those of you who are sensitive to sugar.

I have been going to Gifford’s for a very long time and the workers are usually really nice. I just went today and the girl who served me had no smile clacking her nails on the counter as if I wasn’t quick with my order no “how are you” “have a nice day” or any eye contact. I understand people have there off days and I will continue to go but this really sucks to see
