Eldridge Family Sugar House & Ice Cream Shoppe — Restaurant in Tamworth

The hype and ratings are all worth it. Feels like the Maple OG. I can’t recommend Eldridge Family Sugar House & Ice Cream Shoppe enough! This place is a hidden gem, and I’m so glad we stumbled upon it.

"Breakfast for Dessert" Ice Cream: The “Maple Creme” here is THE best ice cream I’ve ever had in my entire life. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious it is. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the maple flavor was perfectly balanced—rich without being overwhelming. Honestly, it was so addictive that I couldn’t get enough of it. If you’re anywhere near this place, you absolutely have to try it.

Service: The service was fantastic, with friendly and welcoming staff. I had the pleasure of chatting with the couple running the shop, and they were incredibly warm and kind. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers.

Ambience: The ambience was a bit meh—there aren’t many seating spots, so it’s not the most comfortable place to sit and relax for a long time. But given how amazing the ice cream is, I won’t complain too much. The focus is definitely on the quality of the product, and that’s where this place shines.

Very nice offerings. Creamy and delicious, craveable flavor. Gifford’s hard ice cream also on offer. We only came for the maple soft serve. The shop inside was closed as it was already evening. Long line and cars parked on road let us know this place was popular for a reason. Staff was quick and professional, tired, but not overwhelmed. They are busy busy. So be patient and nice. The puffle cone sells out daily, and this time the customers in front of us got the last one! Now we have...
