Baileys bubble is amazing! My parents loved their ice cream so much that they gave me the middle name Bailey! I highly recommend their peppermint stick flavor.

My favorite ice cream in all of Wolfeboro. The prices and serving sizes are perfect here. Definitely stop here if you go to Wolfeboro in summer

Inaccurate prices on website. Flavorless and non-creamy soft serve, which oddly enough still hasn't melted in my sink after dumping it 40 minutes ago (see picture). Strangest tasting whipped cream I've ever had, tasted like whipped unsalted butter---and I even had to pay extra to add it to my "sundae". I absolutely do not understand the hype and we won't be back. Gave two stars because staff was friendly.

Delicious ice cream! I have been a customer for over 30 years.

One of our favorite places to get ice cream here in Wolfeboro, NH and is conveniently located downtown. It is a short walk across the street to Cate Park or the town docks where you can enjoy your ice cream with a nice view of Lake Winnipesaukee or listening to a concert. Many choices of flavors with always a generous serving When the Bubble opens, you know that the summer season is just a short time away. We enjoy the Maine Black Bear flavor. Cups, a variety of cones and many choices of sprinkles. We always see someone we know here, great gathering place.

Excellent soft serve and great value! Was busy but line moved fast for a small place! I’m gonna be thinking about the ice cream til I return!

My absolute favorite!!! Coffee soft serve all season long!! The best!! Staff is friendly and hard working!

Stand in line it's worth the wait! Tons of flavors, shakes and sundaes. They have generous portions and fair prices. Cash or check only. The staff are all super nice. We heard someone talking about the green monster but it was never on the menu while we were there. Mint ice cream and cookies, sounded delicious!

Katherine W.

Yelp
Incredible ice cream to complement your summer day by the lake! I ordered the small cotton candy flavor burst which was delicious. The small is more like a large, so be prepared to have a giant ice cream (absolutely worth it, though!). Bailey's is cash-only, or you can write a check, but there's an ATM machine right outside. There's a $2 fee and the machine accepts all major credit cards.

Cash only. Everything else about this place is fabulous. Creamy ice cream, interesting flavors and very reasonably priced.

The bubble is literally my go-to for ice cream--the flurries hit hard My family goes here all the time! And even when we're super indecisive about our order the staff is always so patient and kind. There's usually a line, but it's so worth it and the line goes super fast.

Amazing ice cream , friendly service. They stay open later than other places in town.

They had a great choice of hard and soft ice cream including frozen yogurt and sf flavors. The prices were reasonable ($14 for 2 small soft serves and 2 hard). Just in time before the rain started up again

Christianne D.

Absolutely the best tasting ice cream & sorbet ever!!! Soo many flavors. great toppings. Great portions Great prices! and hands down the warmest friendliest young men & women around! Quick service! Even with a line of customers...,. every one is so happy knowing what they're going to get!! LOL. We go literally everyday!! THANK YOU BAILEY BUBBLE for a great experience for all ages!

We had a kiddie scoop that came with 2 scoops. Chose a scoop of pumpkin oreo and Maine blackberry with chocolate. Both were amazing, so rich and creamy. Great quality and price.

Allie G.

Holy wow the ice cream is huge! The line goes fast so don't be deterred when it goes around the block.

Luke M.

Yelp
The ice cream is absolutely top notch. Waffle cones are a nice little bonus there too!!! Service is quick and professional. (don't forget to tip!) To top it all off you can walk a minute down the street to be on the lake and watch the boats go by.

While vacationing we like to end the nights with ice cream! I like sugar free ice cream and this is the only place that offers this. They had black raspberry. Very good. A small cup is a very generous portion. Kenny had a med hot fudge sundae with kailua chip ice cream. He said it was good. They have many flavors to choose Our first night there was a good size crowd waiting in line. Not so much. The second night. The staff is very efficient and has a good system going to serve the ice cream. Plenty of parking on Railroad St.

They have a wide selection of flavors and the portions are generous - I couldn't finish the small! Super quick service and good prices, I definitely recommend Bailey's.

We came up from Boston for the weekend and decided it was time for ice cream. We loved it! Especially the German Chocolate, which has fudgey brownie pieces in a decadent chocolate with a bit of chewy coconut and gooey caramel. Vanilla and cookie dough were also great. Sizes are other than you'd expect (at least relative to Boston). Soft serve also great, but I prefer the hard ice cream because it was so good. Super fast service, even with a little crowd. Cash only! Prices super reasonable. Can't wait to go back for that German chocolate...

Laura S.

Yelp
Love the ice cream and the service. The college kids that work there are fabulous. Hard working and always have a smile on their face!

It's ice cream......and they do an amazing job. The line out front tells the tale. I've been being my children here for years and haven't heard any complaints

Highly recommend their Oreo Joe's! Their small size is plenty for one person. It's in the center of the town too so super convenient!

A lake tradition worth traveling for. There are plenty of options for yummy ice cream, but this one is the best and the lines that take over the block most summer evenings are well worth it. Everything is homemade, everything is delicious. The team there works fast and is friendly, and it's tough to think about a summer that doesn't include Bailey's for dessert. A triumph year after year.

Ian W.

Yelp
Bailey's Bubble has the best homemade ice cream in the area! Each time I pass through Wolfeboro during the summertime, I have to stop at Bailey's for my ice cream fix. There are usually long lines here, but it's worth the wait. They have soft serve, hard ice cream, frozen yogurts, and sorbets including fat free soft yogurt. They offer cones, cups, sundaes, flurries, ice cream drinks, slushes, and flavorburst options. Their homemade sauces (fudge, butterscotch, penuche, peanut butter) are really good. They also have homemade chocolate chip cookies for sundaes or as a chocolate chip cookie sandwich. I'm a fan of their hard ice cream and my favorite flavors are the German Chocolate Cake, Snickers, and Coffee Kahlua Brownie. The ice cream has a creamy texture with great flavors. The prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. The small dish has a lot of ice cream, plenty of ice cream to satisfy my fix.

Aaron S.

Yelp
I was in the area on business and tried Bailey's out after seeing it on Yelp. There are too many choices to pick from so I took someone's recommendation and just went with the German Chocolate Cake flavor. It was ridiculously good. I'm sure lots of other flavors are good as well, but that one would be difficult to beat.

Joseph B.

Yelp
A wide variety of ice cream to choose from and some of the best in the area! One of the best spots to grab dessert after visiting a local restaurant.

Lauren M.

Yelp
been coming here for years and it never fails. they're always friendly and fast, and the ice cream is always amazing. if you get a cone, I suggest getting it in a bowl, as in a cone in a bowl, to save yourself the mess. the servings are pretty big, but worth every calorie.

Travis C.

Yelp
Great pricing and quick service. Good ice cream too! You won't be disappointed. Trust me

Alexandra S.

Yelp
We come here pretty much every year and it's always great. Although the lines can get long on a popular day, it's always worth it! No matter which style, flavour, size, or toppings you have for your ice cream order, you're guaranteed to love it! This time, I got a small soft serve vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles in a cup (see photo). Definitely coming back again and again!

Samantha M.

Yelp
Absolutely amazing icecream! This is the place to go in the middle of the summer! The staff is always friendly happy and grateful to be serving you! The owners are doing a great job and really love to make their staff and community for welcome and happy! You'll not only get some delicious icecream but you'll always get a wonderful smiling face that will brighten even the darkest day! Be sure to stop in and try it for yourself when visiting wolfeboro!

There are no less than 6 places you can get ice cream in Wolfeboro and only one that has lines that go on forever worth the wait. Yep. The Bailey's Bubble--not to mention they also have Fraps. Floats and Soft ice cream as well. Always worth the wait.

Sal C.

Yelp
Awesome ice cream and plenty of it. The medium size was more ice cream than I usually eat, but no complaints about getting too much. Service was great and we came in the mid afternoon, so no waiting in line.

Swung by during Bike Week for a nice treat and we got it for sure! The peanut butter Oreo ice cream in a waffle cone was DELICIOUS!!! You won't be disappointed at this place for sure!

A summer tradition. Always great service, smiling people and well organized during the pandemic. Take your treats across the street and hang out on the town docks.

Bailey's Bubble is the best ice cream in the world! It is by far my favorite ice cream. It is a simple place but has true New Hampshire charm. You can sit outside on plastic picnic tables people watching and enjoying the ice cream. On the corner of the street there is a man who sells hot dogs to add to the charm. Bailey's ice cream is extremely reasonable for the amount of you get. The small is the size of a normal places medium. If you are in the state of New Hampshire and are in need of ice cream this is the place to go!!!

Yelp
Ice cream in Wolfeboro is everywhere you turn. No one- and I mean, no one does it as well as Bailey's Bubble. They have the best soft serve anywhere and their hot fudge recipe is unbelievable! Also, you wont get more ice cream for your dollar any other place. It'll be the only place in town with a line and it's worth the wait! Don't forget they're open later than anything else in town, so head there to satisfy your late night ice cream needs. If the lines are into the street, don't worry; somehow they can fit about two dozen teenage girls in that booth to take orders. Just kidding, but there are usually several employees inside, moving like clockwork, so the wait times are often minimal.

Great! I wish they could make it larger to accommodate the demand. Bob

The ice cream is made by Richardson's of Middleton, MA, one of my favorites, so was delighted to find it here at Bailey's. Generous scoops meant the small was enough for me! Excellent value for the price, efficient and friendly service, awesome ice cream -- well worth the visit!

Very clean, gloves, masks, clean window to order at. Delicious ice cream!! Felt very safe in regards to COVID control.

Sam Z.

Yelp
Went on a very busy Saturday and the workers were a bit all over the place and helping more than one family at once. They still managed to get everything right, and the ice cream was great. I mean it is just Richardson's which is awesome, and the coffee soft serve was great. Wish the menu board was easier to see from far away as there's too many people standing in front of it to see flavors or types of sundaes etc.

Kayla M.

Yelp
Good tasting ice cream but if you have a nut allergy: DONT COME HERE! They do not clean the scooping spoons, so the ice cream flavors get cross contaminated. Very disappointing when someone you are with ends up not being able to get anything.

Jeffrey L.

Yelp
As always the place to go when you need an ice cream fix. A little pricey but worth it .

Two years ago a Ben and Jerry's was open about two doors down from Bailey's Bubble. Nearly every night the line at Bailey's stretched out into the street and halfway down the block. Ben and Jerry's? Maybe one or two people who couldn't wait. This year? : No Ben and Jerry's anymore. On the 4th of July, immediately after the fireworks have ended, about 150 people RUN down the street to Bailey's Bubble to get in line. And they wait. And it's worth it. It's that good.

The only negative thing I can say about this ice cream shop is they have too many fantastic options...I want to eat them all.

Tom H.

Yelp
Don't miss this!! Delicious ice cream in many flavours - and great value portions. Only a short queue for us - but worth the wait if there's a longer one. We had German chocolate cake (the best of what we had, if in doubt - have this!), Moose tracks and a Kahlua coffee option. All totally delicious - and nice to have overlooking the lake in the sunshine (or even in winter I would eat this ice-cream!).

NH Snow Man B.

A true New England GEM !!! This little curbside hut packs em' in ! Staff is always polite and energetic. Great old-time feel. The ice cream is rich, and delicious ! Classic way to spend an evening downtown I suggest you take a short walk down to the docks and enjoy the lake scene while having a cone :)

Lauren L.

Yelp
If I had a favorite ice cream place, this would be it. For taste AND value, I don't know of any other ice cream place that can beat it. We visited while in the Lake Winnipesaukee area one weekend, and came back again when we were in the area the following week. All the flavors we tried were delicious; I totally love 'totally turtle' and 'Maine black bear.' And the cherry on top? The portions are HUGE for the prices you pay.

Kelly O.

Yelp
Top notch. Instead of a lame wedding cake, our genius friends decided to do an ice cream bar hosted by Bailey's Bubble at their wedding reception instead, and MAN was it delicious. The ice cream itself is flavorful and creamy, but it's all about their homemade penuche sauce... best thing I ate all night, hands down. Don't miss it!

Heather S.

Yelp
Yum! The Richardsons hard ice cream is delicious. Mixed scoops of black raspberry with chocolate. The weather was very warm so my cone ended up in a cup where the flavors melted together. Couldn't be better.

Marilyn C.

Yelp
Can I get 2 different flavors in a medium? You can get 2 flavors in a small or even a kiddie size. What?! That is crazy awesome. Pumpkin and German Chocolate Cake small cone please! Granted it was only .25 cents difference between a medium and a small - the small was very generous and at $3.00 that's much better than some of the prices I see in Boston/Cambridge. Great flavors, both hard and soft ice cream, frozen yogurt (I believe), a friendly staff and reasonable prices make this ice cream place 5 stars. Located in a cute town amidst numerous other ice cream shops I chose this little stand for its 5 star reviews and boy was I pointed in the right direction!

Andrew G.

Yelp
This place has been a mainstay of downtown for many years. I can remember coming here as a teenager and the place has not changed! Always busy, but the lines move fast. Their product is all homemade, and there is no other place around I would rather get a small, swirl soft serve, with rainbow jimmies, in a cup! Grab your ice cream and follow the tourists around.

Bailey's Bubble is a favorite of mine! If you are in Wolfeboro you can't miss this ice cream experience. It doesn't look like much from the street but who cares when the ice cream is that good! There are so many wonderful flavors to pick from that I often find myself salivating in excitement as I read through the flavor list. My personal favorite is the Moose Tracks ice cream, but you can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order! This is a real gem and on my list of favorite ice cream shops in the country.

Lived up to its reputation. The small was huge the ice cream and hot fudge we loved. Want to go back
