Best Ice Cream on the Lake
 

My family loves ice cream and think Liliuokalani's is the best on the lake without question. Their ice cream is delicious, they never skimp on toppings (a pet peeve of mine), the price is right, and the view is awesome. Kellerhaus (make-your-own sundae) and Red Hill Dari (peanut butter parfait) are tied for second. Dewey's comes in (a distant) third.

Your thoughts?

Jordan's Creamery 🍦 🍨
 

As discussed on earlier threads, we visit Jordan's located on Route 106 in Belmont. We buy buckets of ice cream to take out to our guests on East Bear Island. Sadly, this year, our pups may be our only guests. 🐻

Yes Jordan’s on 106 is our favorite. They have had a small stand at Fun Spot in the past, never tried that.

Sandwich Creamery
 

I think they have the best ice cream in the area, but Jordan's have far better varieties. Jordan's Maple Walnut uses local Maple products!

My son and I got ice cream there last year after climbing on Monkey Trunks. It was just ok, not memorable at all.

Jordan’s
 

Jordan’s on 106 for me...Wolfeboro town docks gets a close second.

Town Docks over Bailey's Bubble?

For me, yup!

Agreed.
Jordans's is the best. I was very disappointed when they closed the one next to Funspot.

Meredith Town docs, distant second.

While Jordan's is great, I believe it is not on the lake.

Lilli's (I can't spell, or say, their full name) is my favorite.

I could be wrong about this, but I believe last year the ice cream at Funspot was already turned over to another vendor, not Jordan's. Richardson's maybe?

I think it was actually the summer before, but it was definitely Jordan's with the crazy font.

Hawaii in Laconia?
 

It's Lili'uokalani

Just how a shop in Laconia, NH, got named for a Hawaiian Queen* is a great puzzlement to me. :confused:

(*Hawaii's last monarch).

Happy Cow...they have more interesting flavors than Jordan's, quick service, and staff are always happy. They have sugar cones, waffle cones, and wafer cones. However, they are all out of pine cones.

Maine black bear at Deweys

I didn't know about this place—might have to try it out some day!

Anybody have info on Ice Out Scoops?

Deweys sells Richardson's ice cream, which is by far the best. So a distant third?? [emoji23]

1. Ice cream is always too hard—they must keep it stored at too low a temp.
2. Toppings always skimpy.
3. Price vs. quantity ratio among the low end.

They've got a pretty good location, though, which is worth putting up with above.

That being said, upon further reflection, I'd put Bailey's Bubble in the top three and move Dewey's to four.

Another vote for Jordan's :liplick:

You’re definitely correct, last year at fun spot it was Richardson’s. Jordan’s was only open for one season there. That being said in my opinion their ice cream is the best in the region. Eye opener is a must try ( when they have it)

True, but it's only 4 miles from my house :) Also available at Beans n' Greens, Agway in Belmont and I'm sure other locations.

Last Year
 

Last year, Funspot took it over and served Richardson's ice cream instead of Jordan's. Richardson's is okay but isn't even close to Jordan's. I really miss Jordan's at Funspot but we still make the trip to Belmont every now and then.

Stillwells Alton Bay
 

Great ice cream, huge portions, good price. Remember to get the kiddie size or you'll need a forklift...

Never been to Stillwell's, either—good tip!

did not like Jordans when Tried it

best Maple Walnut - Town Docks In Meredith, I like Lili's for their random selection

Wow...never had an ice cream I didn’t like! You people are PICKY!;)

Quit it. There's a ton of threads on best takeout, open restaurants, "looking forward to's," etc.

Ice cream shops are just opening (not Dewey's as of now?) and it's a good time to motivate people to explore. I know there are at least two places I'll be trying in the next week because of the above recommendations

Ice cream stands are no different than any other small business hoping people will get out, so stop with the "have and have-not" preaching.

Now, getting back to it: anyone have info on Ice Out Scoops? The owner of the Bob House posted they were hoping to open soon, but I've not seen anything new.

Bailey's Bubble/Skelleys
 

The best hot fudge sauce!

Standard unemployment + $600 per week = not many are loosing everything.

Jordan’s and Deweys are the same ice cream. They both use Richardson’s out of MA. A lot of ice cream shops on the lake use Richardson’s ice cream and you’d never know.

So your saying that Jordan's does not make their own ice cream as they advertise??

Hard to believe...

Edited to add: Didn't think your post was true.... https://www.laconiadailysun.com/news...4fc80c7ae.html

"Jordan begins making ice cream around nine o'clock each morning and finishes about seven o'clock every evening seven days a week. "Those two machines are running constantly," he said. He estimated that over the course of the season, between April and Columbus Day, he produces some 45,000 gallons in more than 200 different flavors. Jordan's also makes ice cream cakes and pies, low-fat and non-fat yogurts as well as sugar-free ice cream, sorbet and soft-serve in a variety of flavors."

Best ice cream on the Lake
 

I have to be honest, to me there is really no such thing as "bad" ice cream, some is marginally netter than others, but ALL ice cream is "the best", with anything else a distant second place. I think people get used to the ice cream where they usually go, and this may include convenience, price, the ice cream scoopers, or what ever, so trying to rank ice cream places is very difficult. But, all that having been said, I try to go to Bly Farm (Rt 28 in Wolfeboro) when ever I am passing by.

Fake News
 

Jordan's does make it's own ice cream. You can see the ice cream making equipment on the back wall in their store. 🍦

ANOTHER place to try!

I agree on the "bad," but there are certainly shops that are less enjoyable, interesting, etc.

Liliuokalani's has 1. Awesome ice cream, 2. Great service, 3. Plenty of toppings/value, AND great scenery. It's a win-win-win whereas other places may have great ice cream but criminal prices, etc.

Does anyone have a "ridiculous" option? Like Hodgies in Amesbury, which serves HUGE portions, or Kellerhaus's 5-scoop sundae?

My wife's "Mudslide" at Liliuokalani's was absurdly big (AND delicious) and, at $6 or so, a bargain!

Facts. The main determining factor in good ice cream is proper handling. If it's allowed to get too soft or dried out or ice falls in it the best can be ruined.

I wish more places would take the money and make change before handing over the cone, so much easier.

Having said all that, can not disagree with Liliuokalani's but being a center harbor guy Dewey gets most of my business.

Will admit to going to sawyers 2-3 times a year but strictly for the odd ball flavors. I'm probably the only person under 70 who likes frozen pudding or grapenut.

The first year Jordans, (I’m talking about the location by fun spot) was open they had Jordan’s ice cream, they could not produce enough ice cream for the fun spot location so now it is strictly Richardson’s ice cream, which they outsource from Massachusetts. Call and ask them, it’s a fact. A lot of establishments up here use them and do not disclose unless asked.

Jordan's now has only ONE location.

Call and ask them, it’s a fact.
Or just click the link above, it’s a fact.

Fake News!
 

Stop posting false information!...Jordan’s isn’t even at Funspot anymore.

They make all their own ice cream period!

Did you read the above post?
