Great ice cream in downtown Bar Harbor! CASH ONLY!! It was a little pricey and the cash thing was a pain. But they had tons of flavors to choose from, including blueberry soft serve! Delicious dairy free options as well!!! It was a little disappointing that they wouldn't give out samples so you could choose the best flavor, but the ones we picked were delicious!
The vegan soft serve was awesome!
There were a ton of scoopable ice creams made from soy and almond milk. Had the chocolate with peanut butter. They also offered soft serve vanilla and chocolate.

CJ's Big Dipper is a must-visit spot in Bar Harbor, known for their blueberry soft serve ice cream with blueberry chunks. They offer an impressive variety of vegan options, including 9 different vegan ice creams and sorbets. The delicious flavors make the slightly pricier menu worthwhile. It is cash only, but an ATM is available inside. The ice cream flavors are rich, creamy, and full of taste. The staff is phenomenal, polite, eager to help, and patient, even when the place is packed. With a prime location across from the park, CJ's Big Dipper has a favorite selection and quality of ice cream. Customers enjoy the orange vanilla refresher and the brownie with ice cream. However, there are not samples.
