John's Ice Cream Factory — Restaurant in Liberty

After perusing the board outside and walking to the windows, we decided to go inside since it didn't look like the windows were open. My husband and I entered with our small service dog in his arms. Immediately we were told the dog has to go outside. I asked if we could order at the window and he told us no. So we walked out. After a moment of thought, we went in to discuss the laws surrounding service dogs and how he didn't even ask if she was a service dog, to which she is. He asked us if we had papers, which is against the law. He stated she wasn't wearing a vest so he just assumed, which is against the law. Nothing states she has to be identified with a vest or papers. I assume this was John himself because I don't think an employee would argue with a customer. We took our business over to the gas station and bought some ice cream with our...

We've enjoyed ice cream from John's a few times since we've moved to this area in Maine. At least my wife has. I have to watch my sugar consumption carefully and regular ice cream is off my list.

It's Maine and it's summertime and you want an off- the- market flavor? How about lemon custard? Apple crisp? Maybe ginger? And there are plenty more.

Oh and the whip cream, peanuts and hot fudge toppings were perfection together.

100% recommend this place.

Oh and the brownie sundae is a lovely almost $8. But, you get the Mainer's serving size. (Still pricey for a broke college student)

There are picnic tables outside, and there are seating options...
