A true New England GEM !!! This little curbside hut packs em' in ! Staff is always polite and energetic. Great old-time feel. The ice cream is rich, and delicious ! Classic way to spend an evening downtown I suggest you take a short walk down to the docks and enjoy the lake scene while having a cone :) read more

Love this place! Always crowded, though...so get ready for some long lines. They do usually go pretty fast.

Can I get 2 different flavors in a medium? You can get 2 flavors in a small or even a kiddie size. What?! That is crazy awesome. Pumpkin and German Chocolate Cake small cone please! Granted it was only .25 cents difference between a medium and a small - the small was very generous and at $3.00 that's much better than some of the prices I see in Boston/Cambridge. Great flavors, both hard and soft ice cream, frozen yogurt (I believe), a friendly staff and reasonable prices make this ice cream place 5 stars. Located in a cute town amidst numerous other ice cream shops I chose this little stand for its 5 star reviews and boy was I pointed in the right direction! read more

This place has been a mainstay of downtown for many years. I can remember coming here as a teenager and the place has not changed! Always busy, but the lines move fast. Their product is all homemade, and there is no other place around I would rather get a small, swirl soft serve, with rainbow jimmies, in a cup! Grab your ice cream and follow the tourists around. read more

Bailey's Bubble is a favorite of mine! If you are in Wolfeboro you can't miss this ice cream experience. It doesn't look like much from the street but who cares when the ice cream is that good! There are so many wonderful flavors to pick from that I often find myself salivating in excitement as I read through the flavor list. My personal favorite is the Moose Tracks ice cream, but you can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order! This is a real gem and on my list of favorite ice cream shops in the country. read more

The ice cream is made by Richardson's of Middleton, MA, one of my favorites, so was delighted to find it here at Bailey's. Generous scoops meant the small was enough for me! Excellent value for the price, efficient and friendly service, awesome ice cream -- well worth the visit! read more

Very clean, gloves, masks, clean window to order at. Delicious ice cream!! Felt very safe in regards to COVID control.

Went on a very busy Saturday and the workers were a bit all over the place and helping more than one family at once. They still managed to get everything right, and the ice cream was great. I mean it is just Richardson's which is awesome, and the coffee soft serve was great. Wish the menu board was easier to see from far away as there's too many people standing in front of it to see flavors or types of sundaes etc. read more

Good tasting ice cream but if you have a nut allergy: DONT COME HERE! They do not clean the scooping spoons, so the ice cream flavors get cross contaminated. Very disappointing when someone you are with ends up not being able to get anything. read more

As always the place to go when you need an ice cream fix. A little pricey but worth it .

The only negative thing I can say about this ice cream shop is they have too many fantastic options...I want to eat them all.

Don't miss this!! Delicious ice cream in many flavours - and great value portions. Only a short queue for us - but worth the wait if there's a longer one. We had German chocolate cake (the best of what we had, if in doubt - have this!), Moose tracks and a Kahlua coffee option. All totally delicious - and nice to have overlooking the lake in the sunshine (or even in winter I would eat this ice-cream!). read more

If I had a favorite ice cream place, this would be it. For taste AND value, I don't know of any other ice cream place that can beat it. We visited while in the Lake Winnipesaukee area one weekend, and came back again when we were in the area the following week. All the flavors we tried were delicious; I totally love 'totally turtle' and 'Maine black bear.' And the cherry on top? The portions are HUGE for the prices you pay. read more

Yum! The Richardsons hard ice cream is delicious. Mixed scoops of black raspberry with chocolate. The weather was very warm so my cone ended up in a cup where the flavors melted together. Couldn't be better. read more

Bailey's Bubble is a small classic New England ice cream window that does a big business. Ice cream and related dairy delights is all they serve, so find your meal elsewhere but save space for dessert! Located on Railroad Avenue, just fifty feet or so from Main Street in downtown Wolfeboro, New Hampshire (one of my favorite towns any time of year), Bailey's is window service only (two windows) and efficiently staffed by friendly high school / college age folks. Late afternoons and evenings you'll always see lines at the windows, but they move very quickly so don't be dismayed. Bailey's Bubble has been around since the 1970's, but long before that they owned a wonderful family restaurant further south on Route 28 near Huggins Hospital (now called Morrissey's) and Bailey's Dockside restaurant right on the Wolfeboro waterfront where the Mount Washington docks (now under different ownership as well). I can't recommend eating at those places now, but do give them a look if you're close by as the interiors haven't changed much since the 1950's, and in this case that's a good thing. All that's left of the wonderful Bailey's franchise is this ice cream window, but thanks to the Skelley family we still have that. Although they no longer serve the original Bailey's ice cream formulas, Bailey's Bubble does carry a nice line of "home made" ice cream manufactured by Richardson's Dairy Bar (of Middleton, Mass.). Having grown up with Bailey's ice cream I do miss the original stuff, especially their chocolate chip (which I hope to rediscover when I get to Heaven). However, if you're under forty you won't know what you're missing, nor will it matter. The ice cream they serve today is delightfully rich and creamy, with strong fresh flavors. And it's a bargain. A small dish or cone at $3.00 is one very large scoop. Almost too much for me. And a large.... well, it's huge and can be split with your best friend, spouse, or the girl or guy behind you. Frappes in these parts are mostly ice cream, so dive in and fill up on one. (Ask for a "black and white" - they'll make it the right way.) Also, not sure what the hot fudge is on their sundaes, but it ain't Hershey's and that's a good thing. Oddly enough Bailey's doesn't necessarily have the best ice cream in Wolfeboro! No more than twenty paces down the street is Crepes Ooh La La, which, besides serving astounding crepes, also serves delicious ice cream from the Sandwich Creamery in Center Sandwich, NH (not far from Wolfeboro). And also, over near the public docks on the lakeside is another ice cream window serving Annabelle's ice cream. You will be spoiled for choice in this town, which is guaranteed to become a favorite summer stopover and memory for you and yours. read more

The people living next door to our rental house recomended this as the best ice cream in the area and we were not disappointed. Long line (sign of a good ice cream place!) that moved fast. Servings were large and ice cream was tasty. Cash only but an ATM right next door. read more

Top notch. Instead of a lame wedding cake, our genius friends decided to do an ice cream bar hosted by Bailey's Bubble at their wedding reception instead, and MAN was it delicious. The ice cream itself is flavorful and creamy, but it's all about their homemade penuche sauce... best thing I ate all night, hands down. Don't miss it! read more

This place is a little stand built into the side of a building, and is ALWAYS busy for good reason - it's FABULOUS! DELICIOUS chocolate, choc chip, raspberry, etc ice creams, hot fudge, root beer floats, you name it! GENEROUS portions and NOT expensive at all, for this resort town - you can get a huge sundae for 2 for a little over 5 bucks. I have been here twice so far this week and plan to go back during the rest of my stay. YUM! read more

There are a billion ice cream places in wolfeboro but this one seems to be the best. Creative flavors (I recommend peanut butter Oreo), big sizes. Brave the lines and do it. read more

Lived up to its reputation. The small was huge the ice cream and hot fudge we loved. Want to go back

Very Good Ice Cream, with a varied and extensive selection. Limited seating in the area which was fairly dirty. Sundae selection is good. Beautiful area, but a little hard to find this place. read more

The homemade peanut butter sauce and fudge sauce were both awesome. The ice cream was super creamy, full of flavor, and delicious.

Having not been in the area for a long time, we drove many miles out of our way just to come here. Now I wish we hadn't bothered. They no longer carry the varieties of ice cream that we preferred and the flavors we ended up choosing were certainly nothing special. A couple of us even tried the sundaes to see if they were worth the hype, but they, too, weren't anything better than what we've had at other ice cream shops. Okay, so it's been 3 years. Varieties change and maybe the source or recipes for their ice cream did, too. Service is still friendly, but that alone can't entice us to make that drive again. Bailey's, you really let us down. :-( read more

Very good ice cream and wonderful service. A handful of other ice cream places around here but not nearly as good as this one. Better be willing to wait in line though! It'll have a line out into the street until closing. read more

Been coming since I was a little kid, never fails to impress. If they have grapenut, order that above all other flavors

Saw the aggregate review (5 stars!!!) and had to give it a try. Tried the Toll House Cookie, and it was genuinely some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Thick and creamy, but not rich at all. Good amount of cookie chunks as well. I'm not even that big into ice cream, but it truly was delicious. read more

Got pumpkin and moose tracks--both were awesome. The "small" size will probably be more than enough for most people.

Minus the long lines at dusk in the summer, this little piece of heaven is absolutely amazing. Ice cream is both cheap and delicious, and there are many different flavors to choose from. It's an obligatory stop whenever I'm in town! read more

It was so fun to simply walk up to the sidewalk window and order an ice cream! I had peppermint stick in a cup, and it was delicious - creamy and minty with just a bit of sugar chew in the peppermint pieces. I got a kiddie size, which was plenty! read more

Recommended by several "townies" as the best place for ice cream in Wolfeboro and we were NOT disappointed. Tho the lines were long (a good sign of their reputation) they got through the crowd quickly and the amount of ice cream you get for the price is amazing (caveat - bad for the waist line)! Lot's of ice cream for 4, which cost us ~$14...and we were stuffed (we all got single scoops). Very tasty...highly recommend them. read more

Blueberry pie ice cream.....are you freaking kidding. The best ice cream on the planet.Tiny little ( literally ) hole in the wall.This one is gonna be hard to beat. read more

Any place that serves Richardson's ice cream is OK by me! My husband and I arrived late, after dinner. They were closing up but still served us. We both had raspberry ice cream. Mine soft serve with jimmies. His the special flavor with chocolate chips and raspberry covered truffles. Both very delicious! read more

I work right next to the Bubble. The good thing, it attracts a lot of people to look at the real estate in our windows, because of its great ice cream. The bad thing, it is right next door calling my name. read more

I LOVE BAILEYS!!! OMG I can not begin to explain in detail because it is all in the ice cream. Just know that they are very generous with their portions and toppings. The prices are so cheap, I feel like I am ripping Baileys off! A MUST TRY IF YOU ARE IN WOLFEBORO! read more

Three words - COFFEE KAHLUA BROWNIE!! Best ice cream period. Order that ice cream as part of a "Fluffernutter" sundae and you will be in heaven! read more

Highly recommended , the long line is part of the thrill ice cream was tasting and serve with a large portion .

Coffee Kahlua Brownie is my favorite!!! Never feel disappointed. Sorbet is also very delicious. The Small size is so big, but I love it.

As a former resident of Wolfeboro, many of my high school friends were employed by the Bubble. As a matter of fact, I'm friends with the owner's daughter. But all that aside, this place seriously has the best ice cream ever. I crave it here in Denver. There just is no creamy soft-serve like the Bubble's. And they really don't understand the word "kiddie cone" because even that one's more than enough for me! read more

Amazing... There is nothing like a saturday night in Wolfeboro sitting at the docks eating bailey's ice cream and watching the boats. Prices are great for whats around there and the ice cream is even better read more

As good as others have claimed. Worth the trip. Who would have thought hot fudge could really be much better, but Bailey's raises the bar. Good selection, good service, great product. read more
