"Oh, daddy You soothe me with your smile…read moreYou're letting me know You're the best thing in my life" (Fleetwood Mac) We were in Wells on the past weekend, and to our surprise not all of the ice cream shops had opened for the season. Some were, some weren't. But fortunately, Big Daddy's were! And to prove it, there was one helluva healthy line of customers waiting to get their frozen fix in a cup or a cone. They have around 50 ice cream flavors, plus some sorbets, sherberts, and yogurts. We were so intrigued by one of their flavors that we both ordered it. I mean, c'mon, when have you ever seen Banana Chocolate Chip on a menu? It was excellent. Smooth and creamy with a definite banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. A Kiddie portion was a pricey $6.95, but in all fairness, that Kiddie portion was equal in size to some of the "small" scoops we've had over the years at various ice cream joints. Big Daddy has four locations in the Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport area, so if you're up this way during the summer, you won't be too far from experiencing an experience with Big Daddy!

Great ice cream, unfortunately, because the service was inexcusable. After having the three people…read morewho ordered after me get their order, I politely pointed out to the teen behind the counter that we were still waiting (I've worked in service more years than she's been alive, I GET it, she forgot our order, it's all good), and her response was to snap that my order is coming AFTER theirs, and slam the little window. Everyone in line looked shocked. They served another order that wasn't mine, shoved mine out, and slammed the window again without a word. Yikes. Do better. I will not be back.

So glad we found this spot on yelp. Great ice cream, service and reasonable prices! Highly…read morerecommend!

We landed on this gelato shoppe and it was absolutely amazing and creamy and delicious and all of the above.

The one woman that was working was outstanding and super friendly. We will be back!!!

Stopped by to grab dessert at "Red's Dairy Freeze" recently…read more This place has plenty of parking spaces however, it doesn't have a lot of outdoor seating, just a few benches. This dessert shop is decorate simply, nothing extravagant. Ambiance rate: 6.5/10. My family and I ordered... 1. Medium Soft Serve Vanilla Cone: This tasted like your average vanilla flavor. Rate 7/10. 2. Small Peanut Butter Sundae w/ Cookie Dough Pieces: This was good however, it lacked cookie dough considering it was only on the top, rather than all throughout. Rate 7.5/10. One thing I enjoyed about this place was that their sizes were very generous. For example, my small cup felt like a medium. One thing I disliked about this place is the lack of flavors and options they have. They don't offer any hard ice cream flavors, only a few soft serve options. This goes the same with the toppings; they don't have a list of toppings to choose from which was upsetting. The staff were nice and the service was quick. Staff/service rate: 7/10. Overall, this mom and pop shop is a nice place to stop by if you're looking for a simple sweet treat. However, if you're looking for something more special, I wouldn't recommend coming here.

We got lucky with prime parking but there was a line into the grass for both windows and we queued up with about 10-15 people in front of us. Lines move quickly since the menu isn't overly complicated. I chose a standard vanilla soft serve hot fudge sundae with nuts and whipped cream and my husband got a plain fudge brownie soft serve and loved the flavor. Delicious! Loved the old school look and vibes of this place. Reminds me of the old ice cream shop in my college town.

The dark chocolate is AMAZING, was not too bitter at all and was quite literally addicting, I got it every day I was here. They have a bunch of interesting flavors that you WILL NOT see anywhere else, such as maple fig jalapeño or banana with hot Cheetos. Granted I did not try any of these "interesting flavors," but I am very glad it is not all they have. For the little space there is inside, the lines flow easily and you get your ice cream very quickly. The servers know what is in every flavor, and do not mind giving out samples! My one gripe is that they don't tell you they have more flavors in the back freezer, there is no sign or anything advertising it, but luckily I found great, "normal" flavors in the front case."

They have some tables and seating around a small pond, and a nice porch area where you can stand and wait in line for your treat. They have a variety of items like shakes, frappes, sundaes, splits, flurries, Red Bull drinks, lobster rolls, specialties, and grab and gos. They have an amazing variety of both hard and soft serve ice cream. There are like 35 flavors of hard serve, give or take a few depending on their rotations. Then they also have like 25 plus soft serve flavors as well! Their ice cream comes shains of Maine, and it's never a disappointment. We also have a member in our party who is dairy free, they have serval items to choose from for that as well and most places do not! They have an amazing sample as well, that has 6, yes 6, different flavors you could add to it ! Then they also have my favorite treat.... Dessert Nachos... many different combinations can be made for this venture. If you've never been here, I highly recommended you swing on through, when you next want to treat yourself to something truly delicious. Prices are fantastic as well!

My boyfriend is a coffee ice cream connoisseur so he got a small dirty water (Columbian coffee with swirls) in a waffle cone which was gigantic and absolutely delicious. I got the famous pink carton flight. The list of flavors is very overwhelming and I am a creature of habit with peanut butter or chocolate themed ice creams, however I decided to branch out and try a huge variety. I got Peanut butter pie, Lemon meringue, Salty caramel truffle, Seriously s'mores, Blueberry crumble, Boston blackout. My favorite was still the peanut butter pie of course but I was so surprised to find out how much I enjoyed the lemon meringue and blueberry crumble. Everything was ridiculously delicious and it was great quality, creamy, real ice cream. We will 110% be back here to try more flavors!!
