Here’s a quote from your post....

“Jordan’s and Deweys are the same ice cream. They both use Richardson’s out of MA.“

This is completely untrue....

What is it you don’t get???

Dan

Dan,
I can't find that quote anywhere above?
What WinniFam posted (albeit oddly worded) was that the first year the ice cream place at Funspot was open it was run by Jordan's with their homemade ice cream.
After that year, as the above Facebook post from Jordan's clarifies, the ice cream place at Funspot was run by a different shop and used Richardson's ice cream.
At least, that's the way I took it.

Post # 31
 

Post # 31, clear as day!

Dan

Better check your facts. I know they make their own ice cream. The only one I know of that claims to make their own ice cream and do not is Sawyers. I happen to be out back one day when I saw a delivery of Gifford ice cream. The side of the carton clearly spells Gifford.

Oops, yup—I hadn't scrolled high enough!

In any case, as best I can tell, Jordan's only uses Jordan's self-made ice cream whereas other places, including the new shop at Funspot, use Richardson's.

That Was Easy
 

Correct and that is what I was trying to clear up. Jordan's does and alway's has made their own. I don't know why Winnifam would say anything different...

We still need a "that was easy" button...

Dan

Interesting—I just checked their site, and they clearly claim to be self-made. Is it possible that they were just supplementing at the time?

I don't/won't go there anyway given both its location and reviews here (as a tourist trap), but it would be good to know in case the universe conspires to bring me there!

Ice cream by boat
 

So what's the best - or even a list of places - ice cream that is easily accessible by boat? A little walk is fine. I tend to rule out anything in Meredith (at least on the weekend) as docking is an issue. Kellerhaus is a must multiple times a year (by car, or course!) both because of the make your own sundae and the long standing tradition. Dewey's and and Red Hill Dari tend to be my go to places by boat - but am always interested in other spots.

My belief as to the connection with several of the local ice cream shops is that they do use Richardson`s Ice Cream mix/base when making their own ice cream. Dewey`s, Skelly`s, Bailly`s Bubble to name a few.

Pier 19 for close to Moultonborough, Bailey's Bubble in Wolfeboro, Stillwell's in Alton Bay (I HAD been there, but was confused in the above comment), Liliuokalani's in Paugus Bay, Town Docks in Meredith, Dewey's in Center Harbor.

Those are my pics for the best at each port.

Happy Cow's Graham Central Station the Best!
 

In my opinion, you haven't lived until you've had Graham Central Station ice cream at Happy Cow in Laconia. If you like graham crackers and chocolate pieces, you will love it!

I agree with that. Back in the day, Weeks Dairy supplied base to many places that "made their own". I recall hearing that in the early days they even supplied Ben & Jerry's.

Without knowing details, I'd guess that Sawyer's used to "make their own" and said so on the website, but perhaps the web site was not updated fully when the business sold? It is also possible that Gifford's contracts to make ice cream to Sawyer's specifications, so it may "really" be Sawyers.

I've never seen anybody unhappy when eating ice cream, so I draw the conclusion that ice cream is medicinal: it cures depression.

Where in Paugus Bay is Liliuokalani's, by boat?

About 1/4 of a mile SW of the NAZ, same side of the bay...

Dan

No Guilt
 

We enjoy lots of ice cream since there are no calories in it. [More fake news]. :D

Ok, since we're getting into specifics: my current favorite is Graham Central Station with peanut butter and marshmallow sauces, and whip cream (no nuts or cherry—those are empty calories).

Went to Lilioukalani’s (sp?) yesterday by boat. Met Frank the owner and had a nice chat. They use Blake’s ice cream And it was great! The girls serving were also very nice and cheerful!

Great place to stop at!

Dan

Did you mention the forum?

The owner is great. I've seen his posts on the iBoat Facebook page and think I might have had his daughter as a student many years ago—I keep forgetting to ask him.

Glad you enjoyed it!

true story, I worked at Weeks then. Ben & Jerrys were buying something like 1500 gallons of mix per week originally.

it's not really practical for a small shop to make ice cream from scratch, so the ones that do "make it" buy mix, flavor it and freeze on site. It can be better or worse, like all things depending on the equipment and the operator skill.

before Weeks I worked for Barney's and we had a few customers that demanded we deliver in an unmarked truck. The old Bailey's in wolfboro, tamarack and a few others I forget now.

I did not mention the forum...

We have been there a few times in the past but always by car. It’s always been good with good service and never a complaint! This was the first time I went by boat as channel traffic and docking wasn’t bad On a Friday. We will go back by boat but only during the week.

Dan

I've never been by boat—would take us a month of Sundays from Hanson Cove!

Damn, son, it’s not Siberia. We were at Arcadia for a year and never let that stop us from going everywhere on the lake. Second day living there, we went to Alton Bay.

Let's Go
 

Would travel anywhere for a month of sundaes. 😋

Naw, girl...we go everywhere.

But because we're limited to a 20' vessel and because that end of the lake is literally the opposite side and often a washing machine, we don't get there much.

Went to Jordans last night.
The place was PACKED....
Ice Cream was delicious.

First time this year..
You stay in your car and they bring the ice cream to you.
Just like the classic carhop service.

If you go, tip the kids well.

Yeah, I get that. Sometimes interesting in the 22’. We call Sanders Bay the toilet bowl on weekends.

Anyone try Ice Out Scoops yet?! We were jonesin' for ice cream last night and almost went out to Kellerhaus, but my disinclination to drive interfered. I'm confident we would've tried IOS if we'd thought of it!

I like soft serve. Like a custard or a Cremmee. Where to go for that besides Dairy Queen?

Wolfeboro town docks has soft serve and its very good! Because of Covid19, they are putting the ice cream in a cone and then turn it over in a cup. When I asked why they said less human touch doing it this way...??? :rolleye2::rolleye2: Really? Anyway, the ice cream was good...

Dan

As You Like It 🍦
 

Jordan's has a variety of ice cream including soft serve. 🐻

Shibley's Drive In. Alton Bay has soft serve. Not my thing at all so I never tried it.

Dairy Queen is not Ice Cream.
https://www.eatthis.com/dairy-queen-ice-cream/

"Technically, our soft serve does not qualify to be called ice cream," the Dairy Queen site fesses up.

Case & Keg
 

In Meredith stocks Jordan's gallons. Choice varies between deliveries, but pricing seems good.

We tried it last week. It was good, they serve Gifford's ice cream.

Finally got to Ice Out Scoops tonight. Ice cream is ok, and they don't have peanut butter OR marshmallow sauces (the HORROR!), but it's a peaceful little setting (overlooking the traffic, which wasn't terrible tonight) with a great tree to climb for the kids. The price was very reasonable, and the workers were kind and playful with my kids.

If they can get those sauces in, and a couple other ice cream flavors, it'll be a nice little local option.

Happy ice creams, all!

Hold up, hold up...maybe Bailey's Bubble is the best. Just got a Fluffernutter and it was DIVINE. Excellent ice cream, just the right amount of sauces—distributed correctly—and $5! Cha-CHING!!!
