    This ice cream spot was in walking distance from our hotel. It had a wide variety of sweet items and it was reasonably priced and delish. I pretty much got the same thing each time we got, a peanut butter sundae with soft serve and it hit the spot every time. The service was quick and friendly, even with the long lines. There were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream and the parking was plentiful if you needed to drive vs walk. The only issue - which isn't their fault - were the bugs. Just sitting at the table eating my ice cream, mosquitos ate up my ankles. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious sweet treat!

    Imagine how "thrilled" we were to find out that their frequent buyer cards are no longer accepted. They stopped accepting them in June, so non-locals who summer up here can basically go screw themselves. We brought seven (7!) people with us tonight, which is when we learned that the cards have been phased out. WTH! Like getting one small cone after the 10th purchase is going to bankrupt them?! (This post is for management. No need to complain to the young girls busting their humps waiting on all of us.)

    Wow! Amazing ice cream experience! We've been to a number of places in the Raymond, Casco, Windham region. We used to love Mosquitos- but I think they have either new management or suppliers or both- not so great any more. The Dugout really came through for us! There were tons of people there - we started at maybe 15th in line and we were at the front in like four minutes - so fast service! Also great selection! I got vanilla soft serve with peanut butter topping and it was absolutely amazing.

    This play has a great selection of ice cream, soft serves, and sherbet. The staff was friendly and the line goes by quick. Check it out if you're in the area. *cookie dough has massive amounts of dough!

    What's not to like about Ice Cream Dugout? It's your classic summer outdoor ice cream shack complete with an absurd number of ice cream flavors, a multitude of picnic tables and a big lawn to run around on. I had the Extreme Chocolate which was great. But let's be honest it's really about the location and experience. The ice cream here is made by Shain's of Maine which on the plus side is a relatively small local business. On the downside the ice cream is far from a high-end product. You can see the ingredient list in the ginger ice cream (the only ingredient list I could find a quick picture of online) is long and includes a number of stabilizers, preservatives and artificial sweeteners.

    HUGE servings!!! I never thought I would say it but there was a bit too much cookie dough in the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. The strawberry cheesecake with fresh waffle cone was delicious though! Great value for the amount you get! The single was huge and I definitely should have gotten all of us a bundt.

    A Pokey Reese. Reese peaces, peanut butter sauce and a warm peanut butter cookie. Mmmmmmmmm

    Larger portion for the price you pay. Close to $6. for a small dish, and barely a scoop and a half of ice cream.

    Delicious, premium ice cream can be found in this local joint. I don't know how they manage the…read morequality and variety they do in this tiny walk-up stand but it's sensational. Every single time. Take it from a bona fide ice cream connoisseur. My favorite offerings are Needham, Coffee Oreo, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Pistachio and Indian Pudding (molasses) to name a few. The servings are huge and the prices are great. The help is friendly and enthusiastic and was as equally excited about their Easter opening date this year as I was (not as easy feat!). In addition to hard serve ice cream, there is a staggering multitude of soft serve flavors. You can get floats, milkshakes, Sundays, Italian ice and more. The last day of the year depends upon weather I suppose. Columbus Day or before as I recall. And though sad day, the fact that you can get half-price pints and quarts does make me a bit happier. And wish that I had a deep freezer to stock up carry me through the winter.

There was two people in our group, the dairy ice cream came out within minutes while I stood and waited as the rest of the line (10+ people) all received their various ice creams. No one else's order wrong. One lady who ordered after us even mentioned I had not received mine as she was getting hers, I had to go up to the window a second time after 5+ mins had passed (on top of the 10 I had spent waiting AFTER the other person in my party got their ice cream, 15 mins total by that point) and no one had updated me or brought my order. They finally told me they were "working on it sorry" and it came out multiple mins later, wrong size and not in a cone like I ordered. It's nice to see inclusivity with non dairy but maybe should be more upfront about how long you'll be waiting for it ...

The concept…read moresounded so unique, and a flight of ice cream is basically my dream way to eat ice cream--I always struggle to choose just one flavor. The shop makes tiny-batch ice cream from scratch up in the White Mountains, and it shows in the quality. I went for the egg-carton flight, which came with six flavors: Slopeside Mint Chip, Trillium Coffee, Single Origin Chocolate, Honeycomb, Mount Cabot Maple, and one more I can't quite remember. Each scoop had its own personality--bright mint, bold coffee, rich chocolate, and the maple and honeycomb were especially standout. The space itself is a fun little spot, perfect for a hot day. Portions aren't huge, which I actually liked because it felt more like a treat or snack rather than an overload. My only gripe is that the flavors aren't labeled on the carton, so it can be a bit of a guessing game figuring out what you're tasting. Overall though, between the creativity, the locally inspired flavors, and the chance to try a bunch at once, it's absolutely worth the stop if you're in the area.

My favorite regular flavor is Cheesecake w/ Raspberry & Graham Crust, but I'm also crazy about the vegan Coffee w/ Chocolate Cookie Crumble + Caramel Swirl. I like to boat over and have ice cream at lunch time on the weekdays, so hopefully at least one of those will come on the rotation before I head home! They used to have an option where you could get your ice cream on a brioche--it would be cool to see that return someday. Remember to bring cash as they are cash-only, and bring your patience as there are often hordes of children trying to figure out what they want (and what they can afford) while they order.

    Five star ice cream and one star ambiance…read more This is a "if you build it they will come" kind of a place in rural New Gloucester with some of the best home made ice cream Maine has to offer. Creative, delicious flavors, creamy texture, and tons of vegan options. I had a scoop of their signature Honey Bee and a scoop of Cherry Pie (vegan). Both were amazing. I ordered it on a sugar cone and was told no--they only serve two scoops on a cake cone so I got a dish, which used to come with a little pizzelle, but doesn't anymore. These were just the start of the "NOs" at Bresca and The Honey Bee. This place is *loaded* with signs telling you "NO"! A lot of it is what you would expect: NO smoking, NO vaping, NO open flames, NO going to the beach without paying, and also NO using the paddle boats without paying. Some of it is appears to be in response to specific, and infrequent bad behavior: NO throwing rocks, NO feeding the ducks, NO pushing on the dock, NO jumping off the slide, various rules about diapers on babies, NO unaccompanied children under 16? (this is an ice cream shack and swimming hole?), etc. Either way, the visual bombardment of the posted "NO -----" signs makes this place seem like they've missed the mark in creating a welcoming place people go to have fun and enjoy delicious ice cream. The signs with dozens and dozens of "NO" messages makes the place seem hostile. Despite feeling like we might somehow slip up and they might kick us out or call the cops, we did enjoy our ice cream and then upon throwing the cup out, were confronted with a "small trash only--NO pizza boxes" sign on the trash. What the heck?!

As I've moved up to Aroostook County, Maine, ive had some of the worst pizza ive ever had up there so on a recent trip back from CT, I searched out "New Haven style pizza in Maine" and "Fire & Ice Maine popped up so I tried it today! The service and people working there could not be nicer and when they knew I was from Connecticut, we really got into the nuances of what makes it great. I actually met the owner on my way out and he could not be nicer, telling me all of the places he's been to and worked at in the New Haven pizza area of Wooster Street. So I got in my car and opened up the box and was pleasantly surprised to finally see a pizza even look like New Haven. After biting into it, it was addicting! No flop, an "8" on the undercarriage and cooked right on top! The sauce was very close and it was crispy too! The only thing off and this is REALLY being picky was the chewiness but again, this is really being picky! Overall, a 4.8 on a 5 star scale and THEE BEST NEW HAVEN APIZZA is. MAINE to date! I would drive 2 hours to get this pie! Great service, great pizza and the price was reasonable too!
