    We actually ended up here completely by accident. We were driving around the area when my wife, who…read morewas born in Bavaria and is very unapologetically German, spotted the name and the building and immediately decided that we needed to stop. Apparently, whatever I had planned for the afternoon was no longer relevant. I can't really argue with the decision because this turned out to be such a fun and unique place. The first thing you notice is that this isn't just an ice cream shop. There are multiple rooms filled with candy, chocolates, treats and all sorts of things that make you want to slow down and look at everything. There is a slightly retro feel to the whole place, and I mean that in the best possible way. You can very easily lose track of time wandering from room to room, looking at the candy, checking out the chocolates and trying to decide what you absolutely need to take home. Then there is the ice cream. The sundaes are fantastic because you get to build your own and load them up with whatever toppings you want. And they aren't stingy with the toppings, either. The ice cream itself was delicious, with a great selection of flavors, and the whole experience of putting together your own sundae makes it especially fun if you're with kids. Although, judging by my wife's reaction, you don't actually have to be a kid to enjoy it. They also make their own ice cream and have a wide variety of candies and chocolates made in-house. You absolutely need to try some of the "in haus" chocolates while you're there. There is something particularly satisfying about buying something that was actually made right there rather than grabbing another generic packaged candy bar. The staff were incredibly friendly and added to the experience. Everyone seemed genuinely welcoming, which is important in a place like this because you want to be able to wander around, ask questions and take your time looking at everything. Nobody made us feel rushed, and there is so much to see that rushing would almost defeat the purpose. This is a great place for the entire family. Kids are going to love the candy and ice cream, adults will appreciate the nostalgic atmosphere and the homemade treats, and honestly, everyone is going to walk out with something they didn't intend to buy. We certainly did. My wife may have had something slightly different in mind when she decided we needed to stop here, but she walked out looking like a little kid who had just been turned loose in a candy store, carrying a sundae, candies and chocolates. I wasn't exactly empty-handed myself. A really fun and unexpected find in the Lakes Region. If you're anywhere around Lake Winnipesaukee, this is absolutely worth a stop. It's charming, a little nostalgic, completely indulgent and just plain fun. I can see why people consider it one of the area's best-kept candy secrets. We'll definitely be back.

The flavor options and pricing are at the cash register and you can't really see either from afar, which makes it feel rushed when you get to that point. The pricing I think is getting pretty high for what it is. They no longer scoop the ice cream in front of you - the ice cream is around the corner. When we got to the smorgasbord, the whipped cream wasn't working/was empty. The workers didn't seem to want to fix it, and once you leave the line you can't re-enter. Pretty disappointing to not be able to get their homemade whipped cream they rave about. For almost $9 for a one scoop make-your-own before tax, it was honestly not a great experience today. We miss the nostalgia of this place - it's becoming more industrialized and less sentimental.

    Liliuokalani's Ice Cream & Coffee Bar is exactly the kind of place I want to find on a warm New…read moreHampshire summer day. It has that unmistakable seasonal, lakeside feel, and the fact that you can literally pull up in your boat and get ice cream pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the setting. The first thing that stood out was the selection. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, along with plenty of sundae options, and they have both classic hard-serve ice cream and soft serve. We went with Cotton Candy and Oreo, and both were excellent. The ice cream had that classic, rich hard-serve texture that I always hope for when I'm getting a cone or cup, and the portions were generous. That's important. Nobody wants to pay for an ice cream cone and walk away wondering where the rest of it went. Service was another plus. Even though places like this can get extremely busy during the summer, the staff were friendly, efficient and clearly accustomed to keeping things moving. You could tell that many of the kids working there were actually enjoying their summer jobs, which gave the place a nice, relaxed energy. It felt genuinely local rather than like some corporate operation pretending to have a small-town personality. There is a decent amount of parking, although I can imagine it getting pretty crowded during peak hours. There can also be a line when things get busy, but honestly, that's hardly surprising for a good ice cream stand in the middle of summer. If the line is the price of admission for good ice cream, I'm willing to wait a little. I also really like that this is locally owned. There is something about stopping at a small, independent ice cream place during a summer day in the Lakes Region that just feels right. Grab some ice cream, sit around for a while, watch people coming and going, and enjoy the fact that you aren't in a strip mall somewhere. Liliuokalani's checks all the boxes for me. Great selection, generous portions, friendly service, reasonable parking and a fun lakeside location where you can apparently arrive by car, foot or boat depending on how you're spending your day. Our Cotton Candy and Oreo were both excellent, and I would have no hesitation about coming back. I'll definitely be back next season. This is the kind of summer ice cream stop that becomes part of the trip rather than just another place to grab dessert.
