    We always like to hit the ice cream hot spots when we are on vacation and we really left this stop until the last minute. We hit up The Dairy Corner on our way to the airport at around 1pm on Saturday. There was no line to speak of so after spending some time considering our astoundingly long list of flavor options we went to the window to place our order. We had the chocolate/vanilla froyo soft serve and a scoop of the Maine wild blueberry ice cream. The serving sizes were enormous! We took out ice cream around back to enjoy in their outdoor seating area. The yogurt was good but yogurt is pretty much the same wherever you get it. The blueberry ice cream was creamy and fresh and truly outstanding. Bummed we waited to try this place until we were on our way out of town, but there is always next year!

    everyone working here was so sweet and it was such a fun end of summer trip for ice cream. it felt like they had endless flavors and combinations - my friends and i were big fans. big portions, very busy, has its own parking lot. a Maine classic!

    SMALL salted caramel truffle ice cream cone

    This is my friends' favorite spot however I did not want ice cream so I was just along for the ride. One friend got salted caramel truffle ice cream and the others got black raspberry with white and dark chocolate chunks. I took a tiny bite of both for review purposes and both were phenomenal.

    There were a lot of people waiting for deliciousness.

    Fantastic ice cream! A small has a couple of scoops, so it's also great value for the money. I tried Beach Blanket S'mores, graham cracker flavored ice cream with dark chocolate chunks. Amazing! Hubs got Coastline Coffee, which contained more chocolate chunks and was also super. I'm glad we were able to visit before the end of the season.

    There are soo many choices to chose from! I ordered the Coastline coffee and it was super good! It was coffee ice cream with cookie dough and chocolate chip pieces and it was great! It is only for a limited time so definitely try it if they have it! My boyfriend got the mint chocolate chip sundae and he finished it all! There is not really seating but the beach is on the same street and it is easy to get there by car.

    The Galaxy Ice Cream with rainbow sprinkles

    Can't get any better than delicious homemade ice cream!!! I went with "a the Galaxy" it was vanilla based with Oreos, M&M's, Malted Milk Balls and Caramel and of course I topped it with rainbow sprinkles too! It was SO delicious!!!

    Simply one of the best ice cream hot spots in Maine. Order at the outside counter from a wide selection of treats! They also offer a few lunch items like hot dog served with chips. Attire is up to you as long as you have the important parts covered - no shirt, no shoes ~ your still gonna be served (No inside access to building.)

    Just one more lick, cmon SHARE!!!!

    The Dairy Corner is always Top Notch, best around imo, I drive 40min to enjoy this ice cream as many times as I can a season. Variety, flavor(they use HOOD products so it's already off to a great start!), cost, quantity are all A++++!! We would take our little pups to enjoy ice cream here multiple times a summer before they crossed the rainbow bridge, they knew exactly where we were every time we parked. The constant line during the summer says it all, but don't be afraid to stop because it goes super fast with two windows, they're very fast! Sitting outside in the warm summer licking ice cream surrounded by people enjoying the same simple pleasures of summer is picturesque and what Maine summers are all about. PS...The owner is a sweetheart!

    What a great place! We stopped here to see what it was all about. We had ice cream, we saw cows,…read moreand we paid to go into the area where there was lots of animals. We even fed goats and deer. We pet babies, we loved seeing the different birds. There were peacocks! It was fun, relaxing, cool in the shade. The food part is big enough to eat and relax. Ice cream was delicious. I would go back! People that worked there were really nice too.

    You scream. I…read morescream. We all scream... for site made ice cream on a working Maine dairy farm ! This is a special place... a farm on a hill with their own farm shop featuring glass-bottled milk, sandwiches, and most importantly... Ice Cream ! Starting mid-April or so, they open up "The Barnyard" which is a nice little petting zoo for the kids... and occasionally a "Goat Yoga" spot for adults... which is just so uniquely crazy it almost makes me wish I did yoga. Not into yoga...? I get you. Lucky for us, they also have a hardware store / lumber yard, so you could feasibly come for Mocha Chip and stay for the 4x4 milled posts, and that's not an experience you'll soon get at a national big-box lumber store. Or a Baskin Robbins, for that matter. This place is an experience. The farm is gorgeous, the staff are friendly, the animals are fun, the lumber yard is definitely there, and the product... well that's where it's at... it's excellent. There are a few working dairy farms like this one dotted around the state, and I encourage you to check out each and every one. Smiling Hill Farm is that extra special sort of place, where it's only a few miles drive outside of Portland, but it feels worlds away and it's so, so worth the effort to get to. They also have ready-to-go quarts in the freezer, their various dairy offerings, and rotating, seasonal farm shop fare. Support your local farmers! Also... I've found the local barn cats to be super friendly and just a treat to hang with. YMMV

    A little bit of mixed feelings here, the flavors are creative and interesting. They don't allow…read moresamples as others have mentioned, which really hampers my willingness to try their very creative flavors. It's a cop out to talk about sampling spoons as waste when I've seen other ice cream shops find solutions to that, it's really just greed. They know they'll sell ice cream regardless so they'll cut that corner. Maybe lines are a little longer, but as a local, it makes me not want to come back all year long. Also, the base recipe they seem to use is VERY thick and rich, to the point where it's arguably too much and takes away from the flavors. I've had some good bites here too so it's not a dud altogether. I'll say I'm partial to higher end ice cream (which I feel MDI falls into), and will pay a premium happily for a great product, but I haven't been back in a while because it's hit or miss if I'll enjoy my ice cream since they don't offer samples. I've also not craved any of the 5 or so flavors I've tried in order to return for them. There's great potential there, and I am opening to trying it again if they decide to prioritize local customers over the summer tourists.

    Great stop for ice cream, it was expensive but even the smalls are enormous. Next time I'd probably…read morejust split a small with someone, as they seem on board with adding 2 flavors to one cup but the sign does say 1 flavor only (maybe your scooper will be more agreeable). Make sure to bring cash. There is some seating outside and seemingly always a long line to order when it's hot out. Luckily the line moved quickly. There is a huge list of flavors, so inspect them before it's your time to order. I got the bourbon maple pecan which tastes a bit like a butter pecan but with a more intense flavor and a bit of a kick and the Maine blueberry. Both were great, but the blueberry was both unique and out of this world! A great flavor to try while in Maine. There is also a Maine blueberry pie which I was also curious about. I was delighted by the flavor options and the taste. Great place for a summer treat!

    "Oh, daddy You soothe me with your smile…read moreYou're letting me know You're the best thing in my life" (Fleetwood Mac) We were in Wells on the past weekend, and to our surprise not all of the ice cream shops had opened for the season. Some were, some weren't. But fortunately, Big Daddy's were! And to prove it, there was one helluva healthy line of customers waiting to get their frozen fix in a cup or a cone. They have around 50 ice cream flavors, plus some sorbets, sherberts, and yogurts. We were so intrigued by one of their flavors that we both ordered it. I mean, c'mon, when have you ever seen Banana Chocolate Chip on a menu? It was excellent. Smooth and creamy with a definite banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. A Kiddie portion was a pricey $6.95, but in all fairness, that Kiddie portion was equal in size to some of the "small" scoops we've had over the years at various ice cream joints. Big Daddy has four locations in the Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport area, so if you're up this way during the summer, you won't be too far from experiencing an experience with Big Daddy!
