I stop here anytime I'm driving from Portland to Boothbay Harbor, and it's always a treat. They rotate through so many classic and creative flavors that there's almost always something new to try. This time, my friend and I shared their ice cream flight, served in thin waffle cones. We sampled matcha green tea, cookie dough, and chai, all delicious, but the chai was spiced so perfectly it earned an 11/10. Next time, I might ask for the flight in paper dishes, since the waffle cones tend to fall apart and get a bit messy. read more

This spot is just took my number one spot for best ice cream I've ever had. Ice cream is made on site here. Workers were extremely patient. I got blueberry crumble and coconut almond chip, which were both perfect. One of the best waffle cones I've ever had as well. Plenty of seating inside. A must stop in Edgecomb! read more

Rating: 4.3 Tried this place on the way back from coastal maine botanical garden. It's a small ice cream shop on the side of road. They offer ice cream mainly but also sorbet, coffee, tea and baked goods. They have some interesting flavors but I tried the maine blueberry ice cream. The ice cream was interesting but good. I don't usually go for fruity ice cream but decided try because we were in Maine. It has subtle blueberry flavor with creaminess and sweetness of ice cream. Overall the place was good. Solid place definitely a popular spot from locals as the place was busy. Good stop for ice cream if you are nearby. read more

One of the best spots we tried in Maine! Love the cabin rustic vibe. Plenty of seating and parking. The staffs were all super nice and friendly. People in line were just all talking to each other and giving each other recommendations. They have a bunch of homemade ice cream flavors and desserts. They also have many seasonal flavors as well. We got the ice cream flight to share between two people on mini waffle cone bowls. Ice cream was super creamy. The flight comes in 3 choices of ice cream. We got the mud slide (chocolate, fudge, and brownie blend), maine blueberry (obviously), and lavender. All 3 flavors were great and the star of the flavors really shined through! Definitely coming back to try other flavors and other desserts. read more

Blanchard's Creamery Homemade Ice Cream and Coffee Shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edgecomb, Maine

This is by far the best and most reasonably priced ice cream in the mid coast of Maine. With about 25 flavors there is always one of your favorites. The ice cream is all made within the store and there are two floors to eat-in, or eat outside at tables or take home. It has good parking for about 15 cars. read more

Yes! I definitely recommend this location!! They serve amazingly delicious creamy ice cream. They have all of the classic flavors you will love and also some other flavor combinations you must try, like German Chocolate cake! I'm such a fan of their Coffee Oreo with Fudge. YUM!!! If you can't decide, get a flight of ice cream (see picture). plenty of seating and plenty of parking. the inside can get a little crowded when it is full force tourist season. Worth the trip if you are in the area. Support Local Business that make delicious ice cream. read more

Place had plenty of parking and the sign called to us on our drive to the garden. With so many flavors, I took a chance and ate samples of different interesting flavors. The staff was patient to my question and after so many samples, I got the lemon sobert which was refreshing in this warm day~ my partner had the blueberry ice cream which was also a great flavor. Place was clean but definitely busy~ I wish they had more seating or outside tables because it's so nice outside the building too with lots of nature. read more

Blanchard's Creamery Homemade Ice Cream and Coffee Shop - Lemon sorbet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edgecomb, Maine

BEST ice cream in Maine! They typically have a coconut milk based, dairy free ice cream on rotate (their chocolate and almond joy are both so good) plus 3 sorbet flavors that are dairy free too. Mango is a family favorite! As far as regular Ice cream goes, all of their flavors are perfectly creamy and packed with flavor! They don't skip on the ice cream filling. We love their Cookie Monster and coffee Oreo, both have tons of cookies ensuring you get a punch of flavor in each bite. My son loves their vanilla (and so do I!). Even their more "boring" flavors are anything but! My husband skips right to their chocolate chip cookies, baked fresh daily. We've also come in the morning for their loafs, scones, and bagels. We're never disappointed! Add on a latte for the best start to your morning. All this to say, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose! Then come back, two, three... ten times to try something new! read more

Four of us descended on this place after an energetic hike through the Coastal Maine Garden. We were glad this place was open on Labor Day. We were pleased by the cool wooden barn interior, generous portions, and nice servers. As for the eight different flavors we tried: Maine Blueberry and grape nuts were both yummy, mocha chip ok. The flavor of the butter pecan was odd and left an aftertaste. Coconut was creamy but bland, lacking any discernible flavor. Maple walnut was adequate. Cherry chip lacked cherries and though pink tasted like vanilla, no cherry flavor - the chips were chocolate. Malted vanilla was very light vanilla but undetectable malt. Because we love ice cream, we overlooked these shortcomings and consumed it all. read more

I wanted to like this place but the amazing waffle account people posted about we're overcooked and my boyfriend's cone was actually cracked and instead of just replacing it the person just gave him free gummy bears on his ice cream, which was weird and also a lower-priced item. The ice cream is creamy, but it does lack flavor. The creaminess is like the main character and the flavor is lost. read more

This creamery is a hidden gem. Variety of choices of different and original flavors ...all amazingly delicious. One of the best ice creams, I've had...not commercial at all. Likewise, staff is overly happy to provide samples. And, the creamery has a rustic feel and with originality....truly not to miss. It's too bad, it's 6 hours from my house. However, will not miss, next time I'm visiting. read more

The best homemade ice cream in Maine - hands down! Friendly servers and fabulous flavors, too. Thank you!

The best ice cream we've had in a long time. Very creamy and delicious. Recommend the Moose tracks. By far my favorite waffle cone!

Great service. You walk into the smell of fresh baked waffle cones and the ice cream is absolutely delicious. Love it and can't wait to come back. read more

Not that this ice cream shop needs another 5 star review but I felt the need to do it anyway. This place is seriously good and the whoopie pie ice cream might be my new soulmate. Just don't tell my wife read more

Great pricing... their pistachio ice cream is the best I've ever had, with real nuts inside. Great selection of flavors. Other favorites of mine included Chai. Staff is friendly. read more

Blanchard's Creamery Homemade Ice Cream and Coffee Shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edgecomb, Maine

Fantastic place! Open all day from 8am-8pm. Homemade icecream (the Chai is to die for!) also tried the chai latte with oat milk, very very good. Super frothy! Also tried the breakfast sandwiches, kind of small but very delicious! Overall, great food, treats, and super friendly staff! Would highly recommend, this is the best ice cream on the peninsula. (This is coming from someone who used to work at the ice cream shop downtown!) NOT TO MENTION HOMEMADE WAFFLE CONES!!!! Plus the balcony seating and the hand painted ice cream flavor signs! Do yourself a favor and come here! read more

Wow! This place is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of ice cream. Each of the 3 scoops of ice cream were served on a ice cream cone shaped like a little cup. This was a lot of fun. The ice cream was top of the line with double chocolate being my favorite. Fudge brownie and mocha chip tied for second best. All 3 flavors were creamy and rich in flavor. This place also has nice looking cookies that I will try on my next visit. I will definitely return. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. The smoothest ice cream I have ever had. The place is a nice barn and it is immaculate. If you can, get the flight. The staff are friendly and helpful. Their pastries are great as well. read more

Blanchard's is wide open, inviting, with limited seating but so many options when it comes to ice cream. The staff were very friendly and helpful, offering up tastings of their cornucopia of ice cream flavors. We went with a sundae and an affogato frappe. Very refreshing and delicious. I'll have to add this to my list of places I frequent when up in Maine visiting family. read more

This might spoil me for other ice cream. I have had a lot of ice cream in my time (always out, never pre-packaged or store bought ( if I am going to get ice cream I want the whole experience) but this one blew me away. No outrageous flavors here, though the flavors and combinations are varied and there seems to be about 30 to 40 different varieties on any given day. This is super-premium ice cream and puts our locals to shame. Creamy at the right temperature it is just right;not too hard, not too soft. There is no milky after taste which shows quality. You can cones or dishes as well as Malteds (nobody makes the lost delicacy of Malteds anymore) Frappes, Sundaes, etc, in varied sizes. There are also coffee drinks available. The interior was cute in a log cabinish way and spotless. The staff was very accommodating and helpful as you can sample before you commit. There are several tables inside (again, go for the entire experience) No frozen fruit here. You can taste the clean ingredients: no chemicals, no stabilizers, just honest ice cream. We passed by several times and the parking lot was always full giving proof that this place is legit. They also serve cookies and bagels till they run out - saw a French Toast Bagel that was calling me but I resisted. What this reminded me of is the old time Dairy Stores of my youth (but now with a modern twist). I just wish I didn't have to be just on vacation to have this wonderful treat. read more

So happy to have Blanchards in Edgecomb. Been there 3 times already and have recommended it to everyone. Very pleasant experience, but here's some well-meaning constructive feedback: 1) the teenagers working there need a bit more training on being a barista. The espresso drinks are a bit weak and usually not hot enough 2) would be great if you offered ceramic mugs for those staying in the store. Paper cups are OK for take out, but not great if you're drinking upstairs 3) speaking of upstairs, could use a bit of work to make it more homier. More pics, better lighting, maybe a few comfy chairs, etc. read more

Impressive all around. Great flavors. So smooth. Fun offerings. I loved the flight we tried! I wish this were at home in NC! Really nice staff too. I wish I were in town Longer to try more flavors. Coffee oreo was outstanding! read more

Husband and I camping at Shore Hills Campground and passed this Ice Cream shop, how convenient for us, about a 7 min drive!! Well, let me tell you we stopped and tried their ice cream and it was one of the very best I have ever eaten, bar none!! What a great place for everyone one included, all ages to enjoy the great wares to be tried!! I think they have the best prices around and you get all homemade right on the premises. The owner Mary Blanchard is busy in another room, and you can observe her, busy making something wonderful, Try, fabulous ice cream would you!!! Walk in and the sweet aroma of the homemade waffle cones permeates your nostrils and you feel like a little kid again and that memory comes back to you. Very open place with a few places to sit, but look up and there are tables galore up a flight of stairs to enjoy your treats. Outside picnic tables, popular with families and little ones. Over 35 plus ice cream flavors, also soft serve ice cream and coffees and cookies, and so much more. Hub had Heath nut and double chocolate in a waffle cone and enjoyed both flavors. I tried the Pistachio, it is the best I have eaten!! Creamy vanilla, none of that green food coloring stuff added and a mouth full of whole with pieces of pistachios in every bite, just a cut above the rest I have eaten, yum! The staff working are so nice and helpful. They have their fall hours, open Fri, Sat, and Sun til 7:00 PM, darn! Give this place a try, you will be dazzled!! Debbie and Bob, Mich read more

Best Ice Cream on the Planet...No Joke! My wife and I can't drive past without getting at least a quart.

"Found" this place a few weeks ago while passing through. I've been here three times since then - even by myself. The oatmeal cookie ice cream is my favorite!! The cappuccino is also delicious. read more

Great ice cream, nice people! Tried the raspberry, blueberry cobbler & strawberry shortcake ice cream with chunks of cake in it. All very good... a must-stop! read more

One of the best I've cream's I've ever had. So good! The scones and coffee were also great.

Incredible ice cream at a very affordable price. I'd say it's the best in this area and has best prices too! The picnic tables outside are nice for families with messy children. And inside is very nice and clean. My family was staying in the area for a couple weeks and it was hard to not visit here every day. read more

Great ice cream. Had the pumpkin and it was amazing. Very nice atmosphere too. In a barn-ish building. I will be back quite often.

Awesome ice cream... loved the blueberry cobbler favor. We will be back soon. We all loved it

Their ice cream rocks my socks! These guys are the go to for all our trips to the boothbay region. Their ice cream is amazing and they have outdoor seating with a great feel. Plus seasonal flavors! read more

Don't stop at the touristy ice cream places in Boothbay Harbor...this adorable shop is on 27 close to the junction with Rt. 1 and I just happened to stop in to get a coffee. I asked if the ice cream is homemade and they literally pointed out Mary making it in the next room. I tried the Oatmeal Cookie ice cream and it was incredibly creamy and delicious and the yummiest high-quality ice cream. So so so so good and tons of yummy flavors. read more

If you want fabulous, creamy, ice cream take yourself to Blanchard's Creamery in Edgecomb, ME. If you want a wide range of choices this is the place! Small batch ice cream at it's finest!! The ice cream flights are a innovative way to really try more than one flavor and the waffle cones are yummy!! read more

What fantastic house-made - right there - ice cream - in tons of flavors, including fro yo. And a "proper" espresso machine for good coffee drinks and/or my fave - affogato. According to the delightful owner Mary Blanchard with whom we chatted, she's been open only this year. The place is a beautifully converted old barn, with seating upstairs and picnic tables with umbrellas outside. Room for a dozen or so cars outside - on a Friday afternoon we got in ahead of a few minivan loads. Phew. Go - it's great. Tasty, freshly made, interesting flavors (specials today peach and Nutella swirl), pleasant servers, reasonable servers, nice decor. read more

Awesome creamy ice cream in tons of unique flavors. Great vibe in the barn building. Friendly quick service. Homemade lemonade to chase your cones. Yummmmm! read more

The ice cream here is so yummy. Great flavors! I can never find mocha chip, but Blanchard's had it. Highly recommend. Worth going out of your way for! read more

Literally the best ice cream in the Casco Bay region. There are many ice cream places in and around Boothbay. Always love wanawaf, but Blanchard's homemade ice cream is divine. Their chocolate is to die for. And all the other flavors make it worth coming back often. Their baked offerings are wonderful as welk. read more

Charming shop in an old barn with picnic tables outside. Having trouble choosing among the many creative flavors, we did their flight of three kinds in sugar-cone cups - what a fun idea! Blueberry Cobbler, Maple Walnut and Swiss Raspberry - all fresh and delicious! We highly recommend if you're in the area - just 15 minutes from the beautiful botanical gardens in Boothbay. read more
