One of them went for traditional OG cookie dough, and the other had blueberry. Yes...I went two days in a row. Ice cream beside the lake doesn't have calories. Everybody knows that.

There was at most a tablespoon of hot fudge and when I paid $16 for a hot fudge Sunday and a large ice cream, I would like what I pay for.

We'll see BUT they just added here a variety of different flavored soft serves (salted caramel, espresso, mint and more) so that does intrigue me...

Well, Hodgman's is permanently closed now and Ruby Rose became The Log Yard, but it's just as good as the former business that occupied the same space! They always have interesting custard flavors on rotation and I love to get the mix-in option (similar to a blizzard). If none of the special flavors look interesting (rare), sweet cream with a mix-in is always a great fallback! I always look forward to visiting The Log Yard when I visit my parents in Maine.

My favorite regular flavor is Cheesecake w/ Raspberry & Graham Crust, but I'm also crazy about the vegan Coffee w/ Chocolate Cookie Crumble + Caramel Swirl. I like to boat over and have ice cream at lunch time on the weekdays, so hopefully at least one of those will come on the rotation before I head home! They used to have an option where you could get your ice cream on a brioche--it would be cool to see that return someday. Remember to bring cash as they are cash-only, and bring your patience as there are often hordes of children trying to figure out what they want (and what they can afford) while they order.

Five star ice cream and one star ambiance…read more This is a "if you build it they will come" kind of a place in rural New Gloucester with some of the best home made ice cream Maine has to offer. Creative, delicious flavors, creamy texture, and tons of vegan options. I had a scoop of their signature Honey Bee and a scoop of Cherry Pie (vegan). Both were amazing. I ordered it on a sugar cone and was told no--they only serve two scoops on a cake cone so I got a dish, which used to come with a little pizzelle, but doesn't anymore. These were just the start of the "NOs" at Bresca and The Honey Bee. This place is *loaded* with signs telling you "NO"! A lot of it is what you would expect: NO smoking, NO vaping, NO open flames, NO going to the beach without paying, and also NO using the paddle boats without paying. Some of it is appears to be in response to specific, and infrequent bad behavior: NO throwing rocks, NO feeding the ducks, NO pushing on the dock, NO jumping off the slide, various rules about diapers on babies, NO unaccompanied children under 16? (this is an ice cream shack and swimming hole?), etc. Either way, the visual bombardment of the posted "NO -----" signs makes this place seem like they've missed the mark in creating a welcoming place people go to have fun and enjoy delicious ice cream. The signs with dozens and dozens of "NO" messages makes the place seem hostile. Despite feeling like we might somehow slip up and they might kick us out or call the cops, we did enjoy our ice cream and then upon throwing the cup out, were confronted with a "small trash only--NO pizza boxes" sign on the trash. What the heck?!
