Butterfield’s Ice Cream

My wife, my mom and I were driving around when my wife expressed a desire for ice cream. I found Butterfield’s on Unilocal as we came to Dover-​Foxcroft but initially couldn’t find it. It turned out to be a bit further down the road than Apple Maps indicated.
I had a banana split which was delicious. My mom had an iced cappucino which she liked so much she got another. My wife had a dish of ice cream. All the ice cream is made there and is very good.
Butterfield’s serves more than ice cream — burgers, hot dogs, sausages and even clams (though those were not available when we visited.)

Double scoop of moose tracks on a sugar cone! Doesnt get better than that.

Our favorite ice cream we’ve had all summer! Texture was very thick, held up on a hot day to eat via sugarcone without melting. My blueberry was delicious, husband’s Almond Joy was very tasty, too. Lots of flavor to chose from. Only passing through… Wish we were here longer to try the Angel Food Cake flavor!

Donna and Bob have created and ice cream paradise in a place you’d never expect. It’s the first place our family stops on our way into Sebec Lake and the last place we stop on out way home. The Black Raspberry is the best I’ve ever had and my son and wife get mint chip every time. If you want to experience the best than try the Mt. Katahdin Breeze that has chopped up Andes candies in vanilla ice cream with fudge.

I love Butterfield’s Ice Cream. I live in Massachusetts but have a house in Bowerbank. Whenever I am up in Maine I always make an effort to stop in here for a treat. The ice cream is delicious. It would be more convenient if they could take debit or credit cards and I wish the staff could be a little more friendly.

The flavor of the blueberry was fantastic, but the texture was not good — very icy. ⁸⁄₀₈

Amble up to the window, place your order, and get ready to sink your teeth into real Maine home-​made ice cream.
In a sea of look-​alike dairy bars selling Gifford’s Ice Cream, Butterfield’s proudly makes and serves their own creamy, rich frozen treats. With flavors like Mint Kadahdin Breeze (white mint ice cream, fudge swirl, chocolate mint candies), the ubiquitous but necessary Moose Tracks (it is moose country up here, after all), and the usual complement of cookie, candy, and fruit flavors, Butterfield’s has flavors that will please everyone in your family. The ice cream texture is perfect — it could not be smoother. Chocolate flavors, such as Peanut Butter Chocolate, lack deep chocolate flavor. Mint flavors are a better call.
Sundaes are a bit of a disappointment. Fudge is thin and lacks body and flavor. My guess: it is from a can or bottle — no one makes home made fudge like this.
In addition to the stand, there’s an indoor seating section if you’d prefer to eat your treat there, mosquito-​free, and save your car’s upholstery.
