🍦🚗 A Maine Ice Cream Hut Worth Stopping For—Even on a Road Trip

When we were driving through Maine, we spotted this little wooden hut by the side of the road and decided to pull over on a whim—and it turned out to be such a great call! Blanchard’s Creamery doesn’t look like much from the outside, but step inside, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!! 🏡 The shop has the cutest barn-style cabin decor—warm wood accents, cozy lighting, and even a loft space on the second floor where you can sit and savor your ice cream slowly. It feels so vacation-ready, like a little retreat from the road! 🧑‍🎓 All the staff are local high schoolers—they’re friendly, chatty, and make the whole vibe feel super hometown and welcoming. It’s like stepping into a storybook scene from a small Maine town! ⸻🍨 What we ordered this time:• Mini cup of Blueberry Cobbler: The blueberry flavor is so intense—plus, there are little cookie crumbs mixed in! It’s sweet, a little tart, and totally addictive—basically blueberry pie in ice cream form! 🫐• Quart of Pistachio: No green food dye here! It’s a clean, natural creamy white color, and the pistachio taste is rich but not heavy. I absolutely loved it—could’ve eaten the whole quart by myself! 🥜 ✅ They also have an ice cream flight, which lets you pick several small scoops of different flavors to try. Total lifesaver for people like me who can never decide on just one! ⸻🌟 Its Google rating is actually 4.9/5 (that’s insanely high, right?!), but after tasting the ice cream, I totally get why it’s so popular—every bite lives up to the hype! 🍰 Besides ice cream, they also serve coffee and pastries. Next time, I’m definitely saving room to try those too! ⸻📍 It’s just a 15-minute drive from Boothbay Harbor. If you’re road-tripping through Maine, don’t miss these little side-of-the-road surprises—they’re often the best parts of the trip! #BostonDayTrips #Maine #MaineTravel #MaineFood #EasternUSATravel
