    Easily found on Main Street in Saco. Cool spot for ice cream, and nice air conditioning inside. I had a cookies and cream caramel sundae. Delicious!! Service was prompt and friendly! Will definitely be back.

    We were driving back to our Air BnB after dropping my daughter off at UNE, and happened upon this later in the evening. Live music drew us in! Such a sweet little place! I had pumpkin cheesecake ice cream in a sugar cone. Delish! The owner was so sweet, and told us they offer discounts for UNE students!

    My husband, son, two dogs, and myself went here tonight for ice cream. It's a cute little place located on Main Street right next to the post office. The best part is they actually have a doggy walk up window! (This was the main reason we went lol) That alone gets 5 stars in my book! For a $1 you can order a doggy treat which is a huge portion of vanilla ice cream and a dog bone on top. My two pups split one and they both were in doggy heaven! They have some regular flavors and then some very creative flavors. I believe they make their own ice cream. The girl at the window was so friendly, patient, and even offered an extra cup for my pups since they were sharing. The serving size are decent and the quality of ice cream is good. There is plenty of out door seating too (even a water dish for your four legged friend) We never made it inside but will be back to see the inside too.

    Wonderful shop with a nice selection of locally-made things - in addition to delicious ice cream! The Saco Scoop is part of a nonprofit and staffed by a great group of young people.

    (Note: my review focuses on the hard pack ice cream)…read more Dairy Joy is a piece of Maine History; perhaps a piece of Americana. If Norman Rockwell were coming through New England and happened to pull over in Biddeford, he would find a sweet treat at Dairy Joy. The charm really is there, complete with high schoolers dishing out sweet dairy based treats and if you squint, you can almost hear the big bopper and see the poodle skirt clad coeds. What's tragic is that the ice cream itself falls short of the New England dominance of American ice cream styles. Trying four flavors, I found the base creams to be light and airy (overrun?) as opposed to the heavy chew for hard pack ice cream that is reflective of the region. Also the ice cream itself was being served too warm only making the unfortunately light base more exasperated and it turning melty, quickly on a rather mild summer evening. Lastly -- none of the flavors that had mix-ins (ex: Oreo chunks from mint Oreo, or brownie chunks from espresso brownie) had a good amount of mix-ins. If it was just my flavor, I'd chalk it up to a fluke but we all had the same experience. We all find ourselves looking for the second half of the flavors we expected. What was good was the flavor of the base creams. For example the coffee base was pretty stand out good. While the smiles from the cheerful teenagers at the window were nice, they can't make up for the product itself. If you're willing to do a compare and contrast, check out the Dairy Corner in Scarborough.

    Our family has been going to this seasonal ice cream shop for many, many years. Today we were…read moreinspired to stop when we saw that they had banana soft serve ice cream as their flavor of the week wanted to get some creativity in with what to do with this fun flavor. One Sundae was topped with caramel and crunch coat topping. The other Sundae had both the strawberry and the pineapple toppings. WOW! TWO VERY DIFFERENT FLAVOR PROFILES BUT THEY WERE BOTH AMAZING!! My very favorite soft serve flavor is their pistachio but banana is definitely going to be giving some serious competition!! Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you pick - from a simple dish of their ice cream to one of their sundaes. Their waffle cones are really good too. Beware!! Their portions are very generous - a medium is most definitely a large! Dairy Joy accepts cash only but they do have an ATM machine right there. The staff is always very friendly and willing to offer up wonderfully creative suggestions.

On our visit, there was a single solitary fellow manning the store with its wall of 10 frozen yogurt flavors, wall of dry toppings, counter length of additional dry toppings, a small cluster of fruit options directly across from the wall o' froyo, and, last but not least, four squeeze bottles! Can you tell I liked the squeeze options? Too bad the caramel solidified on contact with the chilly yogurt. Also too bad they don't have my favorite all-time topping - mochi. Sampling is not encouraged due to some folks taking advantage last season, but if you ask, they'll probably let you. Tart? No. Sweet? Yes. I liked all the flavors I tasted, but the fudge brownie was too liquidy - forgot to tell him so he could fix it, oops! If I remember correctly, the per ounce price here is 49 cents, but my nice little cupful cost me $3.78 due to the addition of tax. I also remember seeing some sign mentioning low-fat, but I don't know if it was for all their flavors or just certain ones. No tables or chairs inside, but they do have a few benches just across from its doors where we relaxed for a bit with our cool treats.

    I've been spoiled by that other frozen yogurt place that starts with a P, so I tend to find most…read morefrozen yogurt to be too sweet. The self service format caught me off guard but I did like the interesting, albeit limited options. That aside, the service here was excellent. I got to the register and the cashier informed me that it was cash only. I only had my credit cards on me but she let me have the yogurt anyway. I will be putting a check in the mail this week for the amount but I found the gesture to be a pleasant surprise.

Between the dessert cafe menu being available and the shops being side by side and the website not being so discerning this is honestly the second time I've tried to go to the dessert shop and it being closed. To my dismay not only that but the lady scooping wasn't the friendliest person either since we drove out of the way we got some ice cream. We sampled a few. I got the goatcheese blackberry chamboard and it was tasty. As was the Cuban coffee, but YIKES. 2 small scoops was $17! I have no issue paying for ice cream, but for a small being $8 and change, that is nutty even for me. And it was truly a small scoop- not like other New England scoop shops when a "small" is the size of a tennis ball. This was a true small. Imma pass

Our server was very friendly and was happy to answer any questions we had as well as let us sample flavors. I got a small cup with a scoop of Maine Whoopie Pie and a scoop of Speculoos & Chocolate. The pretzel one had a caramel taste which I liked, and the whoopie pie was a vanilla base with chocolate cake--both were super tasty and creamy. I do wish it was a little bigger for the price but it was so good nonetheless. They have seating outdoors and it was a cool day out so we enjoyed our treats outside right by the boats. They also have a dessert bar next door serving desserts with alcohol, she said it'll be opening in a few weeks. Cool idea!
