Order the small, haha. We made the mistake of ordering a medium, which is basically an extra large everywhere else. Sooo much ice-cream, but it's soooo good. We go here once a week with my kid, and it's always a great treat. Great prices, and holy do you get a ton of ice cream for the price.

This is a walk up ice cream shop. You can get both soft serve and hand dip ice cream. I had the butter, pecan and caramel sea salt truffle. Both were excellent. We also tried the. Black raspberry, and blueberry ice cream. which were also really good. The hand dipped ice cream has a nice creamy texture and is not grainy. The teenagers working in the area were cutting up and ended up throwing a pen out the window at me by mistake and we were very apologetic but otherwise service was pretty quick even with quite a crowd building up.

We wanted the Maine Blueberry ice cream and boy did they deliver ! My friend got two scoops on a sugar cone and it was as big as her head, I got one scoop and it was more like three. It explained the price but it was worth every penny as that was THE best ice cream I’ve ever had … creamy and blueberry delish!! Also cute area out back to hang out and eat it !!

Great ice cream on your way to Bar Harbor. Easy pull off location half way to Bar Harbor. Cash only. Large portions :) Good stuff! We had the blueberry and a coffee.

Stopped there a few times while visiting Bar Harbor. Ice cream always delicious. This place really gives you a generous amount of ice cream! My vwife and I tried several different flavors and styles and all were delicious! It's nice to have a place that really gives you your money's worth! Will definitely stop again when passing through.

Open later than other ice cream shops with an outdoor windows or indoor seating. They have both soft serve and hard-scoop ice cream. I had a medium soft serve cone and the ice cream was nine inches off the top of the cone... can't imagine what a large would look like. Besides the good portion, friendly service.

Overall, was pretty disappointed with the experience at Blueberry Hill Dairy Bar. The servers were friendly but overall service was slow. I ordered a small dish of cookies dough ice cream and only got 3 pieces of cookie dough in the entire dish. Very disappointing. Portions were good size and ice cream was ok. I've had much better ice cream from larger chains.

Love it! Been visiting for years. Gifford ice cream so you know it's great. Opens early for the season, stays open beyond the season. Only Mainers get how much we love ice cream!

Realizing that we haven't had any ice cream on our trip yet, we dropped by Blueberry hill after dinner and ordered a small cup of blueberry ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised who big the portion size was for the cost ($5). The ice cream was creamy and I enjoyed the flavor.

If you're looking for some delicious blueberry ice cream or soft serve, this is a must try if you are in the area. It's creamy, frosty, and filled with blueberry flavor. They have other flavors if blueberry is not your jam but blueberry is definitely their standout flavor.

After spending most of the day hiking Cadillac Miuntain, this icecream was spectacular. It's probably very good anyway, as crowds coming for icecream lead me to believe. Service was prompt & friendly. Cute little icecream shop, will visit again!

#1 Soft-serve Blackberry and Coffee Swirl. The combination of coffee and blackberry was delicious, both flavors complemented the other. Best bite/lick is when both flavors are in it. #2 Maine Black Bear. Sweet black raspberry swirls with vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered raspberry minis are just goodness in every bite. Extra points for being not too sweet.

WHAT AN AMAZING ROADSIDE ICE CREAM STAND! Top of the New England food list for me was something with blueberries and this knocked it out of the park. Ample serving for a reasonable price. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the weather while savoring one's treat. The ice cream was rich, not icy, and the blueberry flavor tasted very real versus manufactured. Service was friendly.

We were happy to see this ice cream shop open later than 8:30 on a Sunday. They were pretty busy and had a good size line going on. Hubby ordered a blueberry medium ice cream cone. My little one ordered a blueberry in a cup. They enjoyed it. Great ice cream and reasonably priced.

We stopped by Blueberry Hill Dairy Bar for a post-hike treat on a Sunday evening. It was cash only, with no seating options - just a little window to order at. Unfortunately, they had run out of Blueberry Pie Ice Cream, so we settled for a Cherry Milkshake and Maple Walnut Ice Cream. Service was lukewarm but very quick. The Maple Walnut Ice Cream ended up being just okay, but we absolutely loved the Cherry Milkshake - so flavorful and tasty! Overall, a good experience.

What is a trip to Maine without blueberry ice cream?! This blueberry ice cream was everything I hoped for-with swirls of jam throughout each bite, and a creamy texture without being too sweet. My brother got their version of a McFlurry with Reese's Pieces and he loved it. They didn't have the blueberry soft serve when I went, which was sad, but it just gives me an excuse to come again!

This is hands down the BEST ice cream we've had so far in Maine and definitely the best Blueberry ice cream. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. They also service soft serve and offered 4 different flavors which you can mix and match. We all said we were too full after lunch but we all walked away with a cone and ate it to the last drop. Delicious. Wish we found this place earlier.

I ordered a cherry cordial "Nor Eastah" (said to be like a DQ Blizzard by an employee). It was a cup of ice cream soup for $9. No bueno. My wife's chocolate soft-serve was good and not soup.

We were craving for ice cream and can't be happier to locate this small shop. Portion was very generous for seven bucks We tried to return the next day during evening business hours but it was closed for no reason, I would suggest you call before you plan your trip

Came here during July. Got wild blueberry ice cream. Absolutely wonderful! Friendly staff. This place is cash only, but there's an atm in the gas station across the road if you're in a pinch. Well done!

Back again! The annual trip to Maine. Never complete unless we stop here for ice cream. Their "small" cone can feed 2 people. Seriously!! Yum.

This is the spot to check out if you want heaping portions of Maine inspired ice cream! When we went we got wild blueberry, sea salt truffle caramel and vanilla blueberry oatmeal frozen yogurt, in waffle cone. The cones were delicious, as was the ice cream but the portions were almost too big! I think we all got one scoop and it was so big I couldn't finish mine. The blueberry was also quite sweet and could use something to cut through the sweetness. I liked the frozen yogurt which was not quite as sweet and was served like a regular ice cream but just didn't feel as heavy. I'm sure I'll be back but may have to share one portion between two people next time!

The wild blueberry ice cream was unlike any ice cream I've ever had before. The blueberries are well incorporated and fresh tasting, and the ice cream itself has a creamy consistency and the perfect amount of sweetness. The blueberry soft serve was also pretty good, with a more mild blueberry flavor and a softer consistency (duh) than the ice cream. Definitely would come back for a larger scoop of the wild blueberry ice cream -- it's just too good!

Blueberry Hill had some of the best ice cream I've ever had in Maine, as well as in general. I didn't realize blueberries were a big thing in Maine until visiting and seeing how there's blueberry ice cream and pie everywhere. I got the blueberry ice cream in a waffle cone, and it did not disappoint! It was also really cheap for such a large amount of ice cream in a waffle cone. I wanted to try to the blueberry soft serve, but they didn't have that flavor. They have a lot of soft serve flavor options, too, which is pretty unique!

We were wanting a bit of a sweet treat and this place hit the spot. Somewhat nondescript, but very delicious. The blueberry and sweet cream was especially good. The price didn't break the bank either. A wonderful find not too far from Acadia. If you need a sweet treat after a hard day of hiking, I would highly recommend.

Came here early September 2020 and im so glad we snuck in a visit before travelling back down to Portland. Their "smalls" consisted of a rather large stuffed scoop that would be considered a "large" back where I'm from (NYC). My bf and I got two smalls, with mine in a waffle cone and his in a sugar cone, and it came out to $7 and change! So cheap! Even though there were a few people ahead of me who ordered, they moved efficiently and I didn't wait long. Do yourself a favor and come here for a nice summer treat. You won't regret it! They have a lot of flavors to choose from and their size "small" will surely fill you up. Tip: bring cash, singles are appreciated.

Came here after finding out that where I wanted to go for ice cream was closed for good. This was an acceptable place, but definitely not too awesome. There were a couple of people waiting for their orders when we got there. There were six in our family, and it seemed that the staff was quite overwhelmed. It appeared there was only one counter girl, and one guy in the back making the orders. It was much too slow and after we gave our orders, it got really bad for the several cars that pulled in after us. The wait was much too long. The counter girl kept taking the orders for everyone in line, and the wait times just got that much longer for everyone. Another downer was that although several flavors of ice cream were marked off as sold out, there were at least three more that I had asked for which were, too, but not crossed off. So now I'm on my fourth choice of ice cream, and same with my other family members. Where Blueberry Hill Dairy Bar came through was that a "single" scoop was actually quite large for those who ordered a cone. My kid's sundae was tasty with all of the toppings, and my own blueberry shake which was not my first choice was not bad. But it did have me getting up in the middle of the night with stomach pains...too late at night on the dairy? Prices were reasonable, ice cream was tasty, service had much to be desired, and I think I need to find another, better place.

The blueberry ice cream is excellent! They have a small area outside that you can sit while you eat your ice cream. Make sure to bring cash, it's cash only!

They ran out of most flavors. In soft serve they only had choc van and done weird pineapple (?) flavor. Out of most ice cereal flavors. No use of restroom because they were getting close to closing. Very slow service. Big wait to pick up. Definitely avoid.

This local ice creamery serves up tasty soft-serve and hand-scooped Maine ice cream. The wild blueberry was delicious. You can get toppings (such as hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles, etc.), though we had ours just plain. Overall a tasty stop!

wowowow if I lived in town, I'd definitely be a regular here! I had to try their signature blueberry soft serve, topped with chocolate sprinkles on a cone. Soft serve is delicious, portions are large, and prices are reasonable -- what's not to like??!

was super tall and fresh. I came back the next day for a sundae with soft serve and it was also super good. Best option for icecream that is not overpriced in the bar harbor/acadia area.

Nice little walk up ice cream shop with seating area. Lot of local flavors in addition to regular flavor. The portion of the waffle cone and ice cream is large and it is just a nice place to have dessert after a lobster dinner from nearby.

The blueberry ice cream was delicious!!!! I would however recommend to wait for the ice cream to be prepped in the car, I m not sure what attracts hundreds of mosquitoes around the place, our group got eaten alive

We passed by this place multiple times on our way into Bar Harbor, so we were curious about it. My wife saw a sign that they offer blueberry-flavored soft-serve, and that was intriguing, so we decided to stop by before heading out of town. We split a small order of the blueberry soft-serve, and the first thing we were happy to observe is that they're generous with their portions for a good price! The small size was great for us both, and it tasted great! Next time we're in the area, I'm sure we would stop by for either more blueberry or to try other flavors!

Disappointed about this location - we stopped by thinking all the ice cream was made in house but it's actually licensed from Gifford's, so good but not so special either. The lovely attendant was busy taking orders, cashing the money and making the ice creams, resulting in long lines and less than optimal hygiene (taking cash and making flurries at the same time, not the best). Please add another attendant! Large portions, cheap prices, it's still refreshing and decadent but a lot could be improved.

The blueberry ice cream is delicious! We didn't get hand-dipped but it all looked yummy! Remember to bring cash!

Came for blueberry soft serve but they only had raspberry - which was still super delicious. The ice cream was good, prices were kind of high but the real issue was the service. Four or five people working - but ice cream was coming out one cone every 3-5 minutes, and every small cone I saw served was a different size. Inside the service area, cups and cones were being thrown by staff at each other, lots of fun and laughter but not so much focused on the line of customers. Counters inside and out were filthy. (Really, truly.) No gloves, handling money and then ice cream without hand washing. They totally forgot to make one of our 4 cones. It took about 25 minutes to order and get 4 ice cream cones. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.

We ordered the PB/mocha, toasted coconut, and wild Maine blueberry ice creams (not soft serve), and they were all so yummy. Portions are bigger than expected but match the price. Would definitely come back during peak blueberry season to try the blueberry soft serve!

What a good old fashioned ice cream shop for the summer days in Maine. Really enjoyed the blueberry ice cream.

Cash only. The soft serves dipped in chocolate was some of the best I've had. Quick service and plenty of space to park and chill while eating your ice cream. Definitely the place to stop by after a day of hiking in Acadia.
