first off, we absolutely LOVE Dover Delite...but last night was a high disappointment! We went there and decided to change it up and ordered a brownie sundae. Big mistake! the brownie was so hard that we couldn't even cut it with a knife! We brought it to the attention of the server and he gladly replaced it and staTed..."this should be better". Well unfortunately it was NOT! we still couldn't bite into it or cut it with a knife. we ended up throwing it out. I have never ordered a brownie sundae there before and I will NOT be ordering another! I think you can do better Dover Delite! We will still patronize your business but we will be sticking to your ice cream cones only! read more

Ice cream is delicious, portion is great, but sometimes it takes a long time to get your order

Amazing!!!!!! The serving size is so big, I could barely finish it. Definitely worth your money. It also tasted so good, there are so many things to choose from on their menu you can't go wrong. The staff were very friendly and attentive and helped me decide what to get. It did not disappoint! A summer must have for sure! read more

Rude!!! We we standing at the window, the open flag was out, a little kid was in line behind us. They had just closed but, even though they looked at us, couldn't be bothered to say sorry, we're closed. They just looked away. We won't be back. read more

I ordered a medium thinking I was just going to get two big scoops. What I got was a massive massive cup of ice cream. It seemed to be more ice cream than a pint! Order a kiddie or small. The ice cream itself is delicious and you cannot go wrong with any of the flavors. read more

Ice cream is fantastic! The lobster roll combo is a great deal $15 for 2 rolls, chips & a soda. Lobster was fresh. Will go back! read more

Dover Delite - a woman eating an ice cream cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

Great local ice cream shop in downtown Dover. Multiple selections to choose from, and you have your choice of hard served or soft served with an array of toppings to choose from. The girls that helped me that day were super sweet and friendly. Both worked there hardest even though they were extremely busy. Furthermore, I recommend the kiddie size for your ice cream, the portions here are pretty huge. read more

See all

Great little ice cream stand in downtown. Very generous servings dished out by friendly staff. Several flavors I've never seen elsewhere too. read more

I recommend the blue goo drink. The workers said others tasted either cotton candy or blue raspberry but I think it's blue sugar cookie dough! read more

Cute little ice cream stand with delicious ice cream! Designated eating area seemed a bit run-down and they seemed a little understaffed. Overall good experience! read more

Dover Delite - Small Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

I really enjoy that they bring the ice cream out to your car and you can text them the order and pay with Venmo. Made getting ice cream during a pandemic so much easier. I wish the portions were a little bigger my 2 scoop looked like 1-1.5 scoops. read more

This is a very cute local ice cream shop with incredibly reasonable prices. They have so many different flavors so you'll have to go back and try them all. My personal favorite is the Queen twist which is a vanilla and black raspberry twist. A must try in Dover! read more

It's good ice cream but seriously I know people and the news now think there was never coronavirus even though people are still dying. Is it too much to have them wear gloves. I watch them hand comes ice cream to people that hand to their children. Gross. Ever heard of germs. Clear, blue or whatever color gloves wear it. Stop socializing with your friends or relatives if you work there. There's a line of 20 people waiting to get ice cream. Geez. That's why I ain't tipping next time. Take out or anything of this sort does not deserve tip. It's your job to scope the ice cream. Medium ice cream is already $5. Let me guess it went up because of gas price which has nothing to do with it. Plus we do not get all gas from Russia. Hello read more

Sweetheart and I being new to the area are enjoying all the many local ice cream stands and thought 'Hey let's try here' it will be another choice to work with. We got there and there and there was a bit of a line, I mean a family was getting ice cream no problem. We waited for the girl to take their order, we go up to order and she disappeared from the window. No I'll be right with you. We literally stood there ignored for 5 min. What we observed was 2 teenage girls super overwhelmed with the volume of business and no extra help. Which was very poor management and scheduling skills. This is the beginning of summer it's warm out, of course your stand is going to be busy. So keeping your stand properly staffed is important. After 5 min of waiting and watching these girls try to catch up we gave up and went elsewhere. It's very unlikely we'll go back read more

I went here for ice cream on a hot day and I got treated very poorly by my own brother.

Best ice cream in Dover!!!! Always new and fun choices. Wish it were open year round.

I've been to a couple of ice cream shops around and this is the best I've had in the area. There's a popular ice cream shop across the street from where I live and there is always a line, but Dover Delite is way better and the line isn't as long as the other place. The chocolate soft serve tasted better and the sherbet freeze was spot on. I had a taste for an icee before coming here but my daughter wanted to try this place out. I'm glad I decided to get a sherbet freeze because this was better than an icee. read more

Okay so Dover Delite doesn't make their own ice cream, and their flavor selection isn't as extensive as their nearest competitor, but I have to explain my four-stars. First, I am biased because I have an ice cream addiction and there aren't many ice cream stands I wouldn't go to. Second, the girl who works at the counter with the long black hair is cute. If you're on yelp: will you marry me? (I swear not for the ice cream...maybe). Third, you can eat ice cream and watch the train come through (trains are cool). Fourth, their blueberry ice cream is freakin' delicious. Also the other flavors are very good. I should warn you, the portions are on the generous side. If you don't have an appetite, stick with a kiddie. You can always go back for seconds. read more

Ice cream shacks like this are popular in New England, but not so much in other parts of the country. This is one of those standard ice cream shacks, and they dont make the ice cream themselves, but it is awesome! I think they serve Shain's of Maine brand ice cream. Mint Oreo Cookie, Maine Survivor, and Pistachio are some of my favs. They DO serve food as well... but I'm not brave enough to try the 2 lobster rolls for $14 deal! read more

I accidentally ordered a frappe when I wanted a small scoop of ice cream and they gave me both for no extra charge! Thank you

Block out plenty of time, you are going to have to wait. It takes awhile, even once you order you are going to be there a bit. I will say that you get a good amount for the prices so they have that going for them. My chief complaint, other than the wait, is something that I never thought I would actually complain about. But they put TOO MUCH stuff in their ice cream. I got the confusion, which is a little bit of everything. And while true to it's name, it isn't really ice cream. Once you have passed the 1 to 1 ratio of stuff to ice cream it's really just candy that happens to have some ice cream filling in the voids. As a child I would have DIED for this place. What child doesn't really want a cup full of candy? But as an adult I would actually like to have more than just candy. I actually want some ice cream. And I am guessing it is the norm because I have had the confusion twice and both times it had whole pieces of chocolate, giant cookie pieces and golf ball sized hunks of cookie dough. That is not an exaggeration, they were HUGE. It was too much. Three bites in I had to stop. I started trying to carve the ice cream off of the cookie dough meteors to eat. I then started pulling the cookie dough out. After half way through I gave up and put it in the freezer. I'm going to buy a pint of vanilla and try and mix it together myself. read more

Dover Delite - Look. Do you see any ice cream or do you just see candy? That giant chunk on the left is a golf ball sized piece of cookie dough. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

Large servings! Order the kiddie size, trust me. Rasberry explosion something rocks. Oreo coffee, so good. Line moves fast, people are friendly. Extra dish to contain the melting treat, no problemo. My favorite ice cream spot ever. read more

I don't care that they don't make their own ice cream....they carry Shain's of Maine and that's good enough for me! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Maine Tracks. Seriously...I have an addiction. The staff is friendly and is always willing to split an ice cream into two dishes to make my kids (2 &5) happy. Which is a huge plus for any parent with little kids who will NEVER eat a regular size ice cream on their own but can absolutely not share a bowl with their sibling. Oh and the portions at Dover Delite are insanely large! Seriously....go for the small unless you're wearing stretchy pants. I have never tried the food there....it's an ice cream joint and I figure that's what they do best...so I'll leave it at that. But overall....great selection of flavors and great price. Love this place! read more

The lobster roll I purchased did not look anything like the photo they have on their fb page! Too much mayo and probably a spoonful was in the stale tasting hot dog roll. Also, the hot dogs that were a part of my order were cold and undercooked.. The ice-cream was good though. read more

Great ice cream! Servings are huge, so my kids and I usually just share one. Only downfall is they closed SO early this season! We were super excited to walk down to celebrate the first day back to school with a scoop, but were totally bummed that they'd already closed read more

Ice cream is delicious, serving sizes are very generous, great flavor variety, and friendly staff. The only thing I would change is that they were open later and didn't close so early in the season! read more

I love soft serve ice cream. let me restate that - I LOVE SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM! especially with jimmies (chocolate) not those crappy rainbow sprinkles.They have several flavors. If you go get a small. I didn't - mistake! It looked like the Olympic torch made from ice cream! my friggin arm was sore holding the damn thing up! read more

Yummy ice cream. Hours are sketchy but worth the wait for spring/summer. Sort of expensive but portions are reasonable. Depending on the staff working, might be friendly service. I would go back again. read more

Location, location, location! Friendly and quick staff, incredible portions, and being very reasonably priced are certainly good qualities. However, having an ice cream stand right downtown is just a great thing-- you can walk from the Children's Museum to La Festa to here without much effort. As others have noted, they don't make their own but it is still good-- and anyone working downtown can walk to it too! read more

Stopped here with some friends for ice cream. The ice cream was great, the servings were huge! We would definately recommend to stop here for dessert. read more

Dover Delite is the best ice cream in Dover. They serve Shane's of Maine ice cream which is packed full of creamy goodness. Definately worth the stop if you are in town! read more

I love they ice cream and frozen yogurt. They have best milk shakes too.
