Since I live in Maine now and don't get out to the Keene area often, I buy their ice cream by the pint at my local grocery store. I just bought their mocha chip and 'real maple cream' flavors, and they're excellent, especially the maple....It's hard to find maple ice cream made with real maple, never mind without the walnuts. I do miss going to their ice cream stand, though -- maybe on our next foliage trip!More

On Friday I drove more than an hour to get some of the always excellent ice cream. When I got there there were a half dozen people in line, ALL wearing masks and staying apart. More came as I got in line, all masked. Good...so far! Then I discovered the young woman serving was NOT wearing a mask and she was handling both food and money...no sign of hand sanitation either. Walpole may not be requiring masks, but they remain highly recommended by health experts and governments as the Covid pandemic continues to spread. Since I'm elderly, some health issues, I do not take foolish chances, so I did not place my order, got back in my car, and drove the hour plus back home. Two and half hours and 3 gallons of gas, wasted. I contacted their e-mail and was disappointed they didn't bother to reply, so I decided to post a review after all.More

This is perhaps the best ice cream in NH and some of the best anywhere. It's made right there and is both rich and creamy. While they only have a couple of dozen flavors, unlike some places with 70, 80, 90, their ice cream is...almost perfect. With fresh cream (farm is only three miles away and made into ice cream the same day it's delivered), and local and natural ingredients, this is about as good as it gets. We've been there several times over the years, and today's visit was the best yet. I decided to try their hot fudge sundae, instead of the usual cone. I did the "one scoop" (I can't even imaging the three) and, while a bit more costly than other places around the area, it was huge and the best hot fudge sundae I've ever had. Today I tried their coffee and cookies flavor, and I strongly recommend it for anyone who likes coffee flavor. It wasn't too strong, but definitely could taste the premium coffee flavor.More
