Pop's Ice Cream
Went to Pop's Clam Shell this weekend for their great ice cream and found out they dropped Shane's of Maine ice cream and have replaced it with Breyers. Also their portions are quite a bit smaller. We were very disappointed. Shane's is great and Breyers doesn't come close. Should have picked up Richardson's if they had to switch. Unfortunately Pop's lost me as ice cream customer. Will still get their clams though.

We still sell some Shanes of Maine flavors. I feel that some of their flavors do not have the same fat content that they had in the past. If you have a particular flavor you like mention it to me and I will order it. We are thinking about going with Annabells or Sandwich Creamery next year. I have tried Richarsons and didn't care for it.

Any plans to ever accept credit cards? We came down for dinner tonight but the ATM inside was dead, so off to Shibleys we went. Too bad, we drove 45 minutes by boat specifically for Pop's seafood.
Being a business owner I hate giving up a percentage to cards, but how much business are you giving up because you don't take them? |

another ATM at Amilynne's at the corner.
Just so you know.
We are on the mainland, so if we know we are going to Pop's we just swing by the bank if we are short. Kind of hard to do when heading down from the island life. Sorrry you missed Pops.

Ya bring your bank book.
They might be the best but also the most expensive around. We stopped at Johnsons and found them to be very good. Thought they were a bit pricy until we saw the size of the scoop you get.

Yes, I am aware of it but after dragging 3 hungry kids from the docks down to pops, then having to go all the way back to the corner store and back again wasn't happening...

A little late thank you
I know Pop's is now closed but I wanted to pass on my kids thanks to you. They had their favorite Cookie Dough ice cream (Shane's of Maine) and said it was great. The portions were their usually extra large size. They just wanted me to pass on their appreciation. See you in the Spring!

Mmmmm you are killing me here. I just got a new car and I may have to take a drive up there just to have some Pop's. Once a year when we are up there for vacation is hardly enough.

Finally!
Yes, Pop's is openning next weekend and Sandy Point the following weekend, saw signs of life stirring at the Dockside(no announcement yet) and Shibley's is ready.
Alton Bay is starting to wake up after a long winters nap. And I am ready to get out the lawn chairs and plunk them down on the grass and listen to some great music from the Bandstand and eating Kettle Corn.

Pops
We decided to take Sunday off from yardwork and spent 3+ hours on the Lake. Started the boating season off right by going to Pop's and enjoyed every bite. We were unaware of the free ice cream, but we did notice that everyone was commenting on how good it was. Still not as good as the clams.....

Pops: Across the street from the Alton Bay Comm. Center
It is across the street from the Alton Bay Community Center, the old railroad station in the bay. Just down the road from Shibley's at the Pier and on the other side of the street.

OK, That is where I thought it was located. I have been there many years ago, and that place always had great fried clams. Back in the late 50's, whole belly fried clams were only $.65 per half-pint.
