“Who doesn't love an old school ice cream place with a line of 20 people waiting on a Saturday night?!?

Sign me up. Husband is a Cookie Monster so, after dinner somewhere else, he found this spot and drove us here to satisfy the sweet tooth.

When we saw the line of people and bustling parking lot, we knew we were onto something.

Fortunately, the menu isn't that large or complex so it moves quickly and we waited probably 10 minutes if that.

We tried an old school vanilla hot fudge sundae with nuts and whipped cream (me) and my husband got the chocolate brownie soft serve and absolutely loved it as well.“

Dear Dairy Ice Cream Ice Cream Shop • $

“As an avid ice cream lover, I can confidently say Dear Dairy's ice cream is undoubtedly the absolute best I have ever had... I've never been to their storefront, but I found their ice cream at my local dairy barn in a small town in Maine. I do not foresee myself stumbling upon anything better anytime soon. The flavors are the most rich I have ever tasted. My personal favorites are Sourdough Cookie and Vanilla de Veracruz. This is the best vanilla ice cream I think I will ever have in my entire life, and that's not an exaggeration. Please do not ever retire this one; I simply don't know what I would do!“

“A sweet stop, this place is. 🍨🍬

If you have a sweet tooth, prepare your willpower. Mine disappeared almost immediately.

The candy selection is huge, with everything from nostalgic favorites to classic favorites, plus plenty of fun gifts and novelty snacks to browse while you wait.

The real star, though, was the gelato. I went with the caramel brownie and pistachio, and both were incredibly creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The caramel brownie was loaded with chocolatey goodness, while the pistachio had a smooth, authentic nutty flavor that kept me coming back for another bite. A combination worthy of a return visit, it is.

They also offer milkshakes, bubble waffles, smoothies, churros, and other desserts if you're looking for something beyond ice cream.

Trust your feelings on this one. Your sweet tooth will thank you.“

He was helpful to keep me informed of his location, as I drove to find him.(he is a movie ice cream truck after all). I drove 30mins to another town to hunt down the ice cream man for my son and IT WAS WORTH IT. Super kind gentle man! Great variety of ice cream choices“

“Unique ice cream place worth visiting!! This isn’t your run of the mill “basic ice cream flavor” shop. They spend lots of time crafting unique flavors in ice cream form. That’s part of the fun! It’s like science and ice cream merged - Mt Desert was the creation! Love the cozy shop feel. Super cute. Also love that they offer a couple vegan ice cream flavors. The vegan biscoff was to DIE for. Absolute creamy goodness & biscoff explosion. Go- you won’t be disappointed & your taste buds will rejoice!“
