Best Ice Cream on the Lake

[camp guy]

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.

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

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.

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

They make all their own ice cream period!

We’ve had many inquiries over the recent weeks as to when we are opening our funspot location for the season. We have decided to sell our portion of that location to the good people at Funspot. Despite the business growing, it was becoming very difficult to keep up with production demands. Staffing was also beginning to be a real challenge that we didn’t foresee getting better with time. The people at Funspot were absolutely tremendous to work with and we’re sure they will do a great job going forward. They intend to keep it an ice cream shop under a different name and with a different product. We are sure they will do a great job with it! We are thrilled to have put personal happiness over professional revenue��. See you at our Belmont location this summer and every summer for another 25 years!

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,
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.

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.

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...

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.
