25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Exeter

“Brilliant! I remember visiting your shop many years ago and was desperate to come back as I was vacationing in the area.

The ice cream was absolutely delicious, I tried your cake batter ice cream because that is not something I would be able to get in the UK.

The shop was very busy but the staff all coped really well with everyone’s orders and we were all served very promptly.

I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area and would recommend you to anyone wanting a delicious ice cream!“

“I ate my treats too fast to even take a photo! Clyde was at Pumpkin Fest in Laconia and I stopped by each day and got something. It doesn't matter if its a cookie, brownie (corner or middle piece!!!) or a cupcake. There are so many options to choose from! I highly recommend anything from there - it will be delicious! I already want another whoopie pie brownie! Thank you for baking the amazing sweets Clyde!“

“I love the creamy taste of your ice cream.“

“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.“

“Dairy free dilly bar was pretty good.“

“My husband and I were driving through the cute little town and saw the sign and decided to stop in. Definitely a great choice!! The ice cream was delicious, the 3 young ladies working were very friendly and the part that made me feel I needed to write a review... the active duty service member ordering with his children and not having to pay. Thank you to the owners for this policy, it definitely makes me want to support your company and spread the word!!“

“Great ice cream, generous portions and reasonably priced. Also the cheapest freeze-dried candy around. It’s made in-house.“

“LOVE the people and the location! The ice cream variety is awesome, and everything taste great. Can’t go wrong here.“

“Such a fun and whimsical little shop! We enjoyed our ice cream, and there were many topping and candy types to choose from! Sugar free items and gluten free are available, too. A little something for everyone!! Our server was very friendly and attentive and gave us nice background about the place!“

“First time ordering from Susie’s Sweets and can’t wait to go back. Very easy to order and even customized a cake for us for the 4th of July holiday. Large cake was perfect size for 10 people. Highly recommend them , better pricing and quality than other well known ice cream places in MA and NH“

“BUC'S LAGOON does not only offer a great mini golf course to work up an appetite but comes through with delicious types of soft and frozen ice cream. Prices work, and the attendees are very prompt and friendly. I would always make sure it was my first stop.

Kid-friendliness: What kid wouldn't want to ask to visit Buc's Lagoon....ICE CREAM!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Long lines at this very popular ice cream stand but staff is fast and efficient talking down that line in a hurry! Always look happy to see you despite how hard they are working. Manager hires a great group of really enthusiastic teens to staff the windows . New flavors daily !“

“Had a good time there. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have as many things to do on the week days as they do on the weekends. They have a fall festive during October, every weekend. With a BBQ, blue grass band and some other things. But we still had a good time. The " farm animals" were just goats. But they were cute. There was a nice selection of pumpkins and the prices for the pumpkins weren't bad. We wanted to do the corn maze but it was an additional 9$ per adult and children under 5 were free. But we decided that it wasn't worth the money for 3 adults and a toddler. ( personal choice ) the corn maze looked okay. Just a plain corn maze. The main store was Amazing. So many choices of fresh food and yummy treats. I was so excited to get some zucchini bread. Which was delicious. They also have a grill where you can order food.
The orchard part was probably my least favorite part.. I wish there was a smaller option for pick your own apples. The bushel was 35$ for the smallest bag. There was 15$ bag but apparently it was an add on only. The nice thing is you could use foodstamps to pay for the apples and at the store. The trees in the orchard were decent, it was a little hard to see the flags to mark them but we had a good time. Our toddler absolutely had a blast, with everything. She just loved being able to run and do everything on her own. It wasn't super crowded so you could walk at your own pace and have fun.
I would recommend going if you live in the area. We drove from Massachusetts but my father only lives 15 minutes from there. It was on a nice back road area with almost no vehicle traffic which was nice too. Good family place to get some good food, fruit and have a good time.“

“the servings are huge and the price is good“

“Just a quick note from someone who never writes reviews. Sitting at The Beach Plum with my three kiddos and so impressed and grateful for the wonderful service we’ve received here. We had a tiny issue with one meal which was immediately acknowledged and fixed tenfold. Two members of the team checked on us several times after to make sure we were doing okay and then sent us home with an extra meal for later on the house. My kids learned a great lesson on wonderful and kind customer service and The Beach Plum will continue to be a favorite spot for us! Thank you!!“

“Yummy“

“Love their strawberry boba lemonade!!“

“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 :(“

“Very good. A good place to meet for ice cream with friends. The staff cares about the presentation.“

“my son brought me home 6 big pieces of fudge, it melts in your mouth with flavorful mouth watering chocolate. I've never had such good tasting fudge. it's rich and creamy 😋 you will not be disappointed.“

“Great treats, service and location!“

“I traveled over 100 miles 3 times this summer just to go to this wonderful coffee shop for the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!! They are my absolute favorite cookies of all time! Every time I have gone, I always asked for the whole batch of Oatmeal Raisins Cookies on display. Highly recommend this place for coffee, muffins, and especially the cookies!“
