Friendly & attentive customer service! Family owned & opearting business-seating indoor and outdoor! Great experience-we'll definitely be back! Encourage all to check Dover Scoops and Brews out!“

““A Must-Visit Classic Creamery!”

We absolutely adore this classic creamery! From the moment we first passed by, we knew it was a spot we had to try, and when we finally did, it completely lived up to the hype. Every bite was pure joy, and we left wishing we had discovered it sooner!

The Rum Raisin, Black Forest Cake, Brownie Butter, and graham central station flavors are highly recommended—each one is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. And don’t forget to add hot fudge and wet walnuts on top for that extra indulgence 🔥.

I only wish I lived closer so I could bring home quarts of this incredible ice cream. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t regret it!

“Love the community spirit“

“My husband and I just stopped here after having some lunch in Sparta and were so pleased with not only the ice cream quality here but the service! We had the nicest kid wait on us that was genuinely happy to be working with the public and went above and beyond what is called for. If you are looking for good ice cream and service with a smile, ask for Bode. He won’t disappoint 😊“

“This place has old-style class and it’s reminiscent of “The Freeze” that I grew up with. The flavors are delicious and the service was good. There was no line when I got there. Parking was easy.

My only problem is with the texture of the chocolate malt milkshake I got. It happens over and over when a place makes a malt with soft-serve ice cream. The whole thing takes on a homogenized version of itself like it’s melted. Why not dip a few scoops of the good stuff and make a real malt (the reason is the cost of the ice cream). But I would pay more if it didn’t sit in my gut and bloat.

But, four stars. Thanks for a snack.“

“We recently visited this ice cream shop near Lake Mohawk. The shop offers a variety of flavors, and we tried the banana milkshake, orange slushy, and chocolate ice cream. The flavors were decent, with the banana milkshake being a highlight. The orange slushy was refreshing, although a bit too sweet for our taste. However, the real star of the show was the location. In just a minute of walking distance, you can sit by the lake and enjoy your ice cream while taking the beautiful views of Lake.“

“Loved ordering via the mobile app. My walk in and out time was less than 1 minute. Customer service was great & quick. Will definitely recommend for anyone who’s on the run looking to grab and go. I ordered: Dirty Cake, peanut butter ft. Reese’s Pieces & THE BLUE MONSTER Ft. Chips Ahoy ???“

“My favorite place to stop at on the lake for an ice-cream. We usually paddle up to the docks on our SUPs (stand up paddleboard). Grab a cone of real (Jefferson Dairy I believe) ice-cream and then back on the lack for some awesome paddling.
Highly recommended for a quick bite, all kinds of tchotchkes, signs, toys, games and a bunch of other stuff that I believe are locally made. It's a must visit, especially for those that want to revisit simpler times.“
