So the ice cream was really good. Apparently it's all homemade. They had banana pudding which is amazing. I did come with a friend who had a peanut allergy and other ice cream places we've been to have been very accommodating for that and they've provided other spoons for scooping as well as opened up a new containers of ice cream in order to make sure there was no cross-contamination happening. Even though it still could happen they were doing a double measure to be sure.
At this location the hostess? I don't know what you call somebody an ice cream place. But she was willing to do a fresh spoon. However she was not willing to go above and beyond that and open up a new container or even suggest it. And my friend had to go without ice cream because he did just have a several reaction at another restaurant somewhere else not ice cream. But you just did not want to chance it and we were basically just told good luck.
They were extremely polite but I do feel like there could be more accommodations in Maine such as putting all peanut butter flavors in one bin so that more people are able to enjoy the ice cream here.

The mastermind behind my Sundae (i did not catch his name), young fellow, maybe high school aged was also very courteous, patient, and jumpstarted my experience by sharing the different ways he could make the Sundae. This is the type of place I would bring my husband for our date night or a mid shopping treat while we're out and about. I just wish the seating was more accomodating. However! That red park bench is definitely a...

Perhaps that was true of the original Creamery, which went out of business in 1999, but the current Creamery (established 2009 under different ownership) makes no such claims. If their Sliced Lemon flavour is any indication (I saw them change the container on the afternoon of 28 July 2016), their source is a company called Greenwood. So folks, please quit spreading this "homemade ice cream" rumour: sooner or later, it's bound to result in someone criticising them for a claim they don't even make.
Their ice cream is good; it's just...
