19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dover

“so I traveled over an hour to get here and omg this place is my new favorite. the decor is medieval themed, with awesome dragons, cool kings chairs, and cool games. the candy selection is out of this world. my family is from Ireland, and I love Irish chocolate. they have chocolate that was even hard to find in ireland last time I went. they have the best chocolate covered gummy bears, all the unique candy at the candy counter is amazing as well. the shakes are also great, packed with candy and flavor. I absolutely recommend this place.“

“This place just had an upgrade of paint, decor and staff uniforms. Not sure if it is under new ownership? Looks much better. Signs are easier to read. The portions are huge. Need a tiny tiny size for toddlers is my only complaint. Prices are pretty high, as much as a pint of ice cream at the grocery store. Overall, easy to park, easy to get to the window, and decent ice cream. Great activity for families. You can sit in your car, or outside on nice seating area.“

“Haven’t been here in ages!!! Love that a great place like this is still around after all these years of being away! Amazing ice cream and great service!!!“

“Aggie’s has been one of the highlights of summers in South Berwick for generations. It’s a cash only operation, so come prepared. Many, many hand scooped flavors and they also have soft serve. The soft serve Pinkie cone is a real bargain at $1 for babies and four legged friends. Covered seating area with picnic tables adjacent to parking lot. Enjoy.“

“I've changed my original rating of a 3 from two years ago now to a 5. The portions were always generous and the kids working there are always super friendly, but the ice cream was just ok to me back then. I don't know if they changed the ice cream they use, but it is amazing to me now! ? The portions are still very generous and unlike other places, when you ask for extra hot fudge you actually get EXTRA hot fudge! Love you guys. Thank you! ❤️“

“We got milk shakes and they were so good! The interior is really cute - take a look at the art because it's super fun. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into designing the space. We will definitely be back. The milkshakes are a pretty good size, we would probably share one next time. We are very excited to have an ice cream shop in downtown Newmarket.“

“Stopped in to Kilwins to grab a soda for my diabetic boyfriend who had low blood sugar, they don’t sell loose sodas but were very kind and just gave him one so we really appreciate that! Excellent treats, caramel apple was delicious and they offered to cut it so it was easier to share which I really like, and the fudge is delicious 💖💖 thank you guys next time we are in Portsmouth we will stop in again :)“

“Great place with amazing variety and nice staff! I got an ice cream with EXTRA sprinkles and Jaylen did an AMAZING job with this. She was a fast worker and completed my other large order very quickly. 10/10 recommend.“

“Awesome food and delicious ice cream very good at what they do and the wait is not bad at all considering the customer base would definitely try them I go every time I'm in the area, my car just doesn't let me just drive by lol one word to describe them is delicious and great fair prices“

“This is a Portsmouth must!! Great ice cream and super friendly customer service, we had the peppermint stick ice cream and I recommend ordering it before it's gone!! We ordered it and took home a pint!“

“Hands down some of the best frozen custard I've ever had! Much creamier than plain old ice cream. My maple scoops tasted even better than a maple creemee which is saying a lot.

Although the facilities were sparse (a porta potty) I commend them in their menu and Sundae choices.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the food truck event turns out.“

“The best ice cream for more than 30 years of traveling throughout the world and living in various states…I come back to Portsmouth for the salted caramel chip❤️“

“Great place for ice cream, floats, and frappes. Brownie and cookie based sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, soft-serve, hard, chiffon, even some dairy free choices. Get as creative as you want, they are happy to accommodate the pickiest of us. Line moves quickly even when it's out the door. Easy to get to from UNH or downtown. Very clean. Super friendly staff. If you are wondering if it's worth the drive, you'll be glad you did as soon as you take the first bite. Bring your family and friends. Even the prices are good.“

“Stopped by spontaneously on a Monday afternoon and I was so delighted with my experience at Izzy’s. I salted caramel chocolate pretzel and I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such a delicious ice cream flavor in the US. Seriously check it out, I was very pleased“

“Great food time and time again!“

“I got my Christmas tree at Emery Farm this year, and it was a great experience! All the trees were really nice and in really good shape, they sell cider donuts you can munch on, they had a cozy campfire going near the tree lot where you can keep warm while you're waiting, everyone is very friendly, and they are giving away a cute wooden ornament with a tree purchase! I wrestled it in my door and onto a stand, with minimal needle loss despite the manhandling. It may not be the cheapest option, but the quality is there and they make the experience worth it. If you are able to support local places instead of big box stores and corporations, it's really a good thing to do and it really does make a difference. It keeps our money in our community instead of the wallet of some big faceless far-off corporation. 🌲💚“

“We really liked Crumbl Cookies in Portsmouth, NH. The cookies were fresh out of the oven, small, cute, and absolutely delicious. On the other hand, the service is almost non-existent: everything is done via a machine, which is an accepted choice. This may surprise you or lack human warmth, but for the rest, the experience was great. An address to try for lovers of fresh and tasty cookies!“

“I got the chocolate boba milk tea. The boba itself was great and I liked the flavor, it was like chocolate milk with tapioca boba, only issue was that the straw was literally the same height as the large cup, so I had to press my face on the lid to drink the boba. PLEASE GET BIGGER STRAWS :(“

“Best butternut squash I've ever had! And the blackened grilled chicken was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“
