LOVE Sandwich Creamery! This is a new location for them this year (2023). I was confused when our navigation system brought us here, but it had the same old wooden sign that used to hang at the previous location, the lights were on, and there was a neon open sign. It used to be on a long, bumpy, dirt road in the middle of nowhere, but they moved to a very nice corner store front on a paved road much closer to Sandwich. It's about 3.6 miles up the road from the Corner House Inn. The ice cream is delicious, and they have a great variety of flavors. My favorite is the lemon squeeze. My son loves the grasshopper pie. We also like the black raspberry and coffee kisses. It was very well stocked tonight with half pints, pints, and quarts of lemon squeeze, chocolate chip, cinnamon chocolate & espresso, black bear, oreo, black raspberry chocolate chip, cookie dough, peppermint stick, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, peach, ginger, coffee kisses, cow tracks, dirt road, s'mores, chocolate, and grasshopper pie. This is a self-serve and pay on the honor system place. Another big improvement from last year is: now they take Venmo! It used to be only cash or checks. read more

So the guys from Sandwich creamery removed their ice cream to the old North Sandwich store. And in the store now is a little restaurant called 11s where you can get lunch. From 11-2. Prepared food like groceries and ice cream is open all day. Willow the gal who makes the food is a delight read more

I miss the shack but this is an ok alternative. Lots of flavors and sizes! And open long hours

I stopped in prior to a hike. It is the honor system so you need cash. I got the peanut butter cookie with chocolate ice cream sandwich. It was pretty good. read more

Had previously gone to the "shack" at the farm for ice cream. This time around, GPS brought us to a cute store since they closed the shack on the farm. It's still going by the honor system and they offer more payments options like Venmo. Although my fiancé absolutely loves this ice cream, it was just OK for me. read more

This place is a hidden gem... I almost didn't want to leave a review and let people know about. But, that wouldn't be nice to keep all the yumminess to myself! To get to their shop, you really feel like you're going the wrong way... you have to drive down quite a bit of a bumpy, private dirty road. Don't be deterred; you are going the right way; you will get there; you won't regret it. Once you do arrive, you see a small shed like building. You go in and it is nicely decorated with two coolers and pre-packed ice cream in three different sizes. It is cash only and all on the honor system. You write down in a book what you took and put your cash in a slot. There were a variety of flavors to choose from. My friends and I got moose tracks, coffee, MJB and chocorua [i may have spelled that wrong] orange. The MJB (mocha ice cream with chocolate covered espresso beans) was my favorite, but everything got rave reviews! If you don't plan on eating it there... or on your way back home (they have eco-friendly wooden spoons), make sure to bring yourself a cooler and ice. You'll likely want more than one flavor :) read more

Haven't been to new building, but had been going to old one for years. Driving there was an experience in itself. Will miss that. But the ice cream and flavors are so yummy! read more

Sandwich Creamery is an adorable hidden gem! When you arrive you will be greeted by a self-serve ice cream freezer and a unique honor system for payment where you can pay with cash or Venmo. The rich and creamy ice cream is beyond compare, giving you a delightful treat with every scoop. In addition to the unique system and wonderful ice cream, my 18-month-old had a blast playing in their little kids' section, making it a perfect family-friendly outing. Five stars without a doubt - a must-visit for anyone seeking a wholesome and unforgettable rustic New Hampshire ice cream adventure! read more

We drove on to the outskirts of Sandwich to find the Sandwich Creamery. This is certainly one ice cream shop that is off the beaten path. We drove down a rutted road for quite some time until we found the creamery. However, it certainly was worth the drive. How neat that the creamery is operated on an honesty system. The prices are so reasonable, small $3.00, medium $4.00 and large $6.00. There is a slot where you place your money to pay. How refreshing to see that people can be trusted to do this in this day and age. Evidently, they had done a brisk business this beautiful fall day as they were out of so many flavors. My husband was thrilled with his peppermint ice cream and our friend savored her Mexican Jumping Bean ice cream. All of the ice cream looks the same - white -but when you dip into it you get the flavor. Oh, did I mention, they also sell cheese. read more

We have a summer home nearby and had always meant to come visit ... we finally got around to it this summer. The atmosphere, with animals, picnic area, and the scenic drive are nice. The ice cream, however, was very disappointing. There is NO WAY this is homemade. As another reviewer pointed out, the ingredients list would suggest factory made. It was no better than cheap store brand ice cream, in my opinion, but much more expensive. Very dishonest and deceptive. If you have small kids who might like the animals, then visit ... but if you want good ice cream, you're better off going to Skelley's in Moultonborough, who carry homemade ice cream from Richardson's Farm, or Ben & Jerry's in Meredith. Or, actually, ANYWHERE that sells ice cream... I honestly feel duped, falling for the suggestion of homemade ice cream when it was factory crap. Don't believe any of the reviews claiming it's "the best ice cream in the US" - these people are judging the quaint packaging and farmy atmosphere much more than taste! I'd give it one star, but the cheese was okay and the drive scenic. read more

Came here after hiking whiteface and passaconaway. So charming! It is a self serve place so has remained open! Sold on honor system (Don't be a shmuck. Pay them.). I had an ice cream sandwich and my dog had a vanilla ice cream. So good after the hike and they have a nice large outdoor yard set up to enjoy your ice cream! read more

Best ice cream in the world, and a gorgeous spot to visit. Hoping we can still visit one cranky jerk tried to close them down last year Not sure if you can visit the location off Hannah road anymore. But I'll be going back to check read more

They had a booth at the Exeter Farmer's Market. The cheddar cheese is AMAZING! The secret is out. Even at $10 lb, this is the real deal. read more

It was so good. Very rich and tasty. I had vanilla, chocolate, rasberry chocolate chip, maple. It is via dirt road but that makes this place more precious and hidden secret place. recommened! read more

This place was amazing. It's in the middle of nowhere, but we'll worth the trip. It's on the honor system so bring small bills. The ice cream and coffee milk were off the charts!! read more

Giving 5 stars for the experience. It is a small vintage cottage, that I found to be the opposite of "disappointing" and very cool and different! Also I thought it was fun to see the farm animals, not sure how you could expect more than that from a small ice cream place. Prices were cheap but be sure to bring change. Ice cream was good, not sure if it's homemade or not but still good. Long drive down but very scenic, we even saw a small black bear along the way! Quaint sitting area outside. If you're coming for aesthetic, make the trip. If you're coming for really good ice cream alone, maybe find a different place. Overall a very different and fun experience. read more

I usually only give great reviews however the way my family was treated I will never make it there! The customer service was absolutely rude an obnoxious! My family will make the drive from North Conway as a family outing ! Plenty of better places to spend our money where it's appreciated! read more

The Sandwich Creamery is a very cute little location, way deep in the middle of nowhere. Honestly, I was expecting a little more than just a simple farm-stand. Also, when we pulled up, there was only one small block of cheese available. read more

Sandwich Creamery - At the creamery. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sandwich, New Hampshire

We have been coming to Sandwich creamery for years. Always a delight, the ice cream is amazing!

This place is amazing. Don't come expecting a tour or a boutique to sit and eat ice cream. This is a working dairy, they have small batch cheese that they sell in a small room at the end of their office and production facility. They don't staff the sales counter, the entire process is on the honor system. A word of caution and thanks: I called to see if the creamery was open today due to a winter storm we had in the area yesterday. Tom answered and warned me to be careful of the icy roads. We made it successfully to the creamery, and my girls had a blast building a snowman just outside the shop. When we left the creamery I slid off the road just up the hill. With little to no options, and no snow experience, I called the creamery and asked Tom if he was able to assist. To make a long story short, Tom and Lisa were amazing, they helped dig out our car, push it out of the ditch and got me back up the hill. Please accept a sincere thank-you and gratitude, from this Florida-boy. read more

Quaint little place with phenomenal ice cream! The honor system is a throwback for sure, so nice to see people can still be trusted to do the right thing. We purchased ice cream, a frozen rhubarb pastry, smoked cheddar and boursin cheese. My husband accidentally logged in Brie cheese instead of the boursin we took home. Our apologies for the mix up, however we did leave 20% extra, which will make up for any cost discrepancy. Thank you for sharing your unique little place with the area folks, it made our day to visit. I do wish you the best of luck with the zoning debacle, and hope your neighbors give the harassment a rest. read more

This tiny place has some of the best ice cream in the USA. It's a small piece of paradise where one can sit and enjoy an incredible ice cream. read more

I really want to give the creamery 5 stars...for their cheeses alone, along with the quaint location it's a 5+. However, I encountered a serious issue with their ice cream. While they don't claim to be "homemade" or "made from scratch" one would think that a small creamery in the middle of the woods would have all-natural, farm fresh ice cream. Yet, at the sandwich creamery I found high fructose corn syrup, guar gum, and other ingredients that I have never found at any "made on the farm" creamery, and I was disappointed! I'm not even certain they have the required levels of milk fat to be considered ice cream and not "frozen dairy dessert." I even heard a rumor that someone saw generic ice cream mix being dropped off at the creamery not too long ago. Sandwich Creamery, I love you and your ice cream...I just wish it was the absolute REAL deal! read more

My friends and family and I have always enjoyed our trips to the Sandwich Creamery, very adorable, and reasonably priced. However today when we took our trip we found we were greeted with some not so great customer service. We'd picked out our ice creams and paid only to find we were rudely confronted and reminded of the "working cameras" in the building. So disappointed and definitely won't be making another trip. Unfortunately they've lost a PAYING customer. read more

Amazing ice cream, lovely atmosphere with the animals and picnic area, and an amazing drive out! Ice cream is honestly some of the best ice cream I have ever had and anyone who things otherwise has an absurdly bad taste. read more

Definitely worth the drive. Be sure to bring cash with you as they go based on the honor system. To the people complaining about not having any available ________ when they went, oh well! What else could you expect from a place that doesn't actively have waitresses asking you what you want?! This place is such a gem, I make it a point to go every time I'm near Winnipesaukee. Rain or shine I traverse those dirt roads to get some delicious ice cream. Be sure to say hi to the farm animals! [Just don't get too close to the rooster :) ] read more

Bring cash and small bills. Honor system to pay. Need change for a $20? No problem as long as you don't mind filling your pockets with coins. read more

This is by far the furthest I've ever been for ice cream. Very cute little shop with good cheese and ice cream. I'd go more for the experience of discovering an ice cream shop in the middle of nowhere. read more

I was a little hesitant to post a review of the Sandwich Creamery on Yelp, in fear that too many people would find out about it. But seeing as there are only 3 reviews, I would have to agree with Devin E. that this is still a very well kept secret of NH. My boyfriend and I were camping with some friends right near Chocorua, and after hicking the mountain and going kayaking in the river, finishing off with a swim in Ossipee Lake, we headed over to visit one of his old friends who had moved to that area. As a "local", he told us some great spots to check out while we were still in town. When I heard "ice cream", my ears percked up and I had a taste for it, and fast! We headed to Sandwich, driving down one dirt road after another in search of this little cottage on Hannah Road. This ice cream and cheese shop is a small, adorable cottage that sits on a farm with chickens, cows and sheep. There is a freezer filled with fresh made pints of ice cream in 20 different flavors and a refigerator of fresh wheels and tubs of cheese. In the morning they restock all of the fresh goodies and then take off. Payment is all based on the honor system, they have a slot for paper money and a sink filled with change. If only we could have something like this in Boston, but alas, the whole idea of it would be ruined by city punks taking free ice cream. Since we were camping, and did not have proper refrigeration, we did not buy any cheese (although they all looked absolutely divine). We each got a medium of our perfered ice cream; him, mint chocolate chip, me, "cow tracks" (vanilla with fudge and peanut butter cups), and we split a small of cookie dough. All three of them were the perfect creaminess with just the right amount of mint, and peanut butter cups, respectively. As we ate our ice cream we walked along the dirt road as the sun set, looking at the cows munching away on their grass. It was beautiful. read more

What a disappointment and a complete waste of time (and car fuel!). And confusing! Wasn't even sure if we'd found the right place. The extent of the "creamery" is a shack consisting of a 10'x10' room with a freezer case of pre-packed ice cream and a standup refrigerator with a few packages of their cheeses. It's all honor system so you leave your money in a slot in the wall. We just happened to see 2 cows in the "field", which is more accurately a pen, across the street - is this the extent of the dairy source? There is not a soul to be found so don't expect to learn a blessed thing about this place, or see how they work, or taste their products without committing to a purchase. There is literally nothing more to be gained from visiting over just buying their products from any of the local retailers through whom they sell. read more

The cheese is pretty good, but the ice cream is so-so. Drove up there and found out that their ice cream is full of stabilizers courtesy of Hood! We sadly saw the Hood truck delivering tons of cases of ICE CREAM MIX. Takes a bit of the quaint out of the setting. Still looking for authentic. read more

Two dirt roads to get to the small store, both are short and well maintained. My sports car was able to make the traverse in one piece. The store uses the honor system, you leave your money in a slot in the wall. I sampled three of their cheeses; a welsh caerphilly which was the best of the three and very good. An aged cheddar which was also very good and a french coulommier which was white and flaky with a typical farmers cheese taste. They sell Sunnyfield bread from a bakery in Wonalaneet, New Hampshire. The cheese and the bread make the fixings of a fantastic picnic lunch along with a local bottle of wine. The ice cream is another matter. I was surprised to hear another reviewer say they saw a delivery of ice cream mix from Hood. If this was the case I would have expected a much better product. The ice cream we sampled had a hard icy texture and lacked creaminess. The worst part however was the flavor, very artificial and strong. We sampled both the coffee and mint and did not finish either of them. read more

Very beautiful ride to the Creamery. A ride for daylight. I would never suggest a night visit. Or on a rainy day.Too far. Too dark. The final hill before coming to the creamery was a bit off putting. The physical setup was disappointing. Small room. One medium size freezer. No where to sit inside. Very few sitting options outside. AND nothing else to do but see a few sheep and a cow. Disappointed in the ice cream. Nothing special. Honestly. I did like how you paid. Honor system. Wonder if it really works? Probably won't be back. Would if the ice cream was "head and shoulders" above the rest. read more

Wow! What a gem this place is! WAY out on a dirt road, beautiful ride and well worth it! Little building with lots of BIG flavors of creamy yummy ice cream, frozen yogart and and cheese. Prices are very reasonable, it is on the "honor system"; cash and checks, no credit or debit cards. Loved it! read more

Best cheddar I have ever had. The Caerphilly is delicious too. We survived the white-knuckle ride today because they sanded the solid ice that is coating all the roads right now. Sadly, the ice cream freezer seems to be warming rather than freezing the contents. I was drooling for the apple crisp ice cream. Beautiful spot, too. read more

For me I could have gone with 2 or 3 stars for this, but I went with two because it seems everyone else is raving about this spot. I have to admit that after the hike up to this creamery and arriving It wasn't what I was expecting. I wanted to see lots of cows and people at work. I think there was a baby cow there but not the milking kind. I found the sales stand, but where the heck are the cows??? Also, I looked on the website and on the ice cream cartons and was not 100% convinced that they actually make this ice cream here. Where is the story of this place...not on the cartons or online ( I wanted that experience). I like the idea of the loyalty system way to pay, but don't be fooled you are on camera here. If you go at night bring a flashlight because they can't be bothered to put a proper light in for their customers. This place has nothing on Ben and Jerry's!!! They skimp on toppings in the pints etc. I did enjoy the maple walnut ice cream, but I found that the rest weren't very creamy....its homemade right??? shouldn't it be really, really creamy? -This place could be great if they changed a few things and made a little better ice cream. I tell you what though.....its not the worst ice cream experience that I've had in New Hampshire! I'll stick with good old Friendly's Ice cream read more

I travel wing road near daily and I often see hood trucks going to Sandwich Creamery to drop off the ice cream mix they use to make their ice cream... "homemade ice cream" huhh... real hommade ice cream is made from homemade base... not hood mix... nice false advertising. You cant make hundred of pints and quarts of ice cream with milk from two cows. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. read more
