    First time here. Even though I've driven by 100 times I finally stopped. Probably the best overview and scenic area to have ice cream ever! Absolutely beautiful looking at the lighthouse in the ocean while relaxing on a beautiful day. Service was fairly quick though disorganized stuff. But they got the job done!

    Love this ice cream place! The location itself is really nice, in its own little area, with a lighthouse nearby. It's one of those shack type places, which always seem to be the best. They had tons of flavors and the employees were really sweet about explaining each one. Some of the flavors were especially inventive, which is the best. I'm not sure I'd be in this area again anytime soon, but if I was, I'd certainly go back!

    This is exactly the old fashioned ice cream place we were looking for on vacation. Ordering with a teenager at the window, paying cash (no credit cards!) and off you go! Lots and lots of flavors and toppings to choose from. There was NO cell-service for us up here, its very close to the Nubble Lighthouse and I'm sure that the tourism brings them more customers- like us. I don't remember the flavors of the ice cream we got, but everything was good. Cant go wrong!

    A great spot for ice cream! This is a fantastic place to stop for ice cream! They have a ton of flavors to choose from, but it can get pretty busy, and they tend to run out of some flavors later in the day. So, if you have a specific flavor in mind, it's best to come earlier. We ordered the coffee and pistachio flavors, and both were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by how generous the portions were! The prices are great too. Just keep in mind that this is a cash-only shop, but there's an ATM on the side if you need it.

    My 2 year old son said he wanted banana ice cream 5 minutes before we arrived at Dunne's. They had it! We feel like he willed it into existence!! So kudos on an array of flavors (like planet earth.) Plenty of parking. Multiple lines taking and serving. It looked crowded but we were in and out (thank you- it was raining!) So much cookie dough (yay!) The chocolate peanut butter was creamy, very chocolatey but also had those chunks of peanut butter I was looking for. This place was a win!

    Wow, we have driven past this place for years and finally stopped. The seasonal pumpkin ice cream was scrumptious! The best I have had. Wonderful flavor (cinnamon? Nutmeg?) and texture. Will go back before they close for the winter. Love the signage, too! Nice that Lady Gaga visited.

    a cup of ice cream

    Amazing ice cream. Creamy without being too rich or heavy, not overly sweet, and very even consistency. Best blueberry ice cream I've had in Maine. Usually, blueberry ice cream uses frozen blueberries and taste chalky. These tasted much more fresh and were well incorporated. My mom also tried it and was raving about it. She even considered packing a pint to bring back with us! Would highly recommend for anyone near Nubble. The table space was plentiful and the facilities were clean. Service was nice and quick!

    A small!!! Almond joy ice cream cone.

    Delicious ice cream spot, it's understandable why we saw so many people walking from their houses to grab some. The sizes are HUGE! They offer kiddie, small and large for cups and cones. I ordered the small as did my daughter, and it was gigantic. See the pics. The flavors offered are significant, and the service is top-notch. I got a chocolate chip cup, which was delicious. My family got almond joy in a cone, mint oreo in a cup, black raspberry in a cup, and a mint oreo frappe. All received rave reviews. A couple of things to remember - it is windy! It's up on a hill, you can see Nubble Light and the ocean, beautiful but also windy! Bring cash. They only accept cash and do offer an ATM. We will come back..next time we will ask for more napkins and to get the smalls in the bigger cups..we had issues with the huge portions melting all over the smaller cups.

    Chocolate extreme (small)

    This is a nice ice cream place. Very busy. They only have outdoor seating. The ice cream was pretty good. I had chocolate extreme others in my group had almond crunch and Maine wild blueberry. The small was HUGE !! The staff were friendly. Each of the cashiers has a tip jar telling you what they are saving up for. I thought that was pretty cool. If you are in the area stop by.

    Maine survivor flavor in a small cup (which is really quite large!)
    Elizabeth Y.

    Yummy ice cream with generous portions! The person who helped us was really nice and knowledgeable about the flavors, even though we overheard that it was his first day working there! I had a small cup (which sadly only includes one flavor despite consisting of two huge scoops) of the Maine survivor flavor, which was vanilla ice cream with basically everything in it--fudge, Reese's cups, cookie pieces, peanuts.... It was quite tasty and chock-full of mix-ins, but I actually found that there were too many peanuts, which started making my jaw tired, haha. I also tried the root beer float, which tasted great as usual. They gave the leftover root beer in the bottle, which was nice. There are SO many great flavors to choose from, which is pretty fun. I wish that you could get two different flavors in the small cup, though--I definitely would've enjoyed trying another flavor, but I already struggled and needed help finishing the "small" :)

    Shark bite- absolutely delicious flavor!
    Libby C.

    Great staff, clean restrooms, nice seating area and amazing selection of ice cream! We will definitely be back.

    Wicked awesome bucket and pick three with toppings.

    Sweet Josie's Candy Shoppe is a seasonal confectionery shop and ice cream parlor that opened in…read moreYork, Maine in 1980. It was founded by Margaret "Peggy" Shaheen Fennelly, who named it for her mother Josephine "Josie" Skeip Shaheen. The shop specializes in over 60 flavors of homemade fudge, old-fashioned hard candies, gummies, saltwater taffy, and other classic candies. The shop also serves Gifford's brand ice cream and Richie's brand Italian ice. After Peggy passed away in 2021, the shop was taken over by her daughter Kathleen Fennelly Perez and her husband Jose. As of 2025, Sweet Josie's is now under new ownership. The shop operates from late April through mid October. My family and I recently visited Sweet Josie's this summer while we were spending the week in York. We were really impressed with the interior of the shop; it was so colorful. All of the candy looked so delicious, especially the fudge! However, we were actually on the hunt for some delicious ice cream. After looking over all of the flavors, I got a cup of "Dinosaur Crunch" (blue vanilla ice cream, fudge swirl, chocolate-covered Rice Krispies), my wife had a cup of "Sea Salt Caramel Truffle", and our sons both had cups of "Cookie Monster". That ice cream really hit the spot; it was exactly what we were looking for. The next time we make a trip to York, we'll have to stop at Sweet Josie's again and try out their homemade fudge!

    Sweet Josie's is a cute mom & pop candy shop located in York, Maine. It is in the downtown area…read morevery close to ample parking. My partner and I were in search of some fudge for a Mother's Day gift. We walked in as the usual one she goes to across the street wasn't open for the season yet. Walking in we were greeted by a very welcoming atmosphere- adorned with many colorful decorations befitting of a candy shop. Further, we were immediately greeted by a staff member of the shop. This woman was extremely kind (I wish we knew her name!) and since we were not familiar with the shop, she helped familiarize us with the flavors Sweet Josie's has. They have a wonderful selection with many kinds of peanut butter, vanilla, chocolate, caramel and more for flavors. They even have a 'Cookie Monster' flavor that takes its color and decor scheme from the character! We were able to quickly make some choices while hearing some good conversation about local lore and stories about the shop. We went about our way much better for it, too, and it made my partner and I's day going in there. So next time the usual store is closed, try the one nearby you never have. You might be pleasantly surprised!
