I was thrilled they had strawberry rhubarb crisp ice cream and my husband got coffee cookie - both were fantastic. The service team was super friendly and fast and the ice cream shop is nice and cool and cute inside with plenty of seating. I highly recommend. We will be going back to try the mint chip with the spruce tips, sounds intreguing!!!

Was so thin it spilled out the straw hole on the ride home. Couldn't taste any chocolate or any peanut butter. Threw it out. $7 waste of calories.

(Note: my review focuses on the hard pack ice cream)…read more Dairy Joy is a piece of Maine History; perhaps a piece of Americana. If Norman Rockwell were coming through New England and happened to pull over in Biddeford, he would find a sweet treat at Dairy Joy. The charm really is there, complete with high schoolers dishing out sweet dairy based treats and if you squint, you can almost hear the big bopper and see the poodle skirt clad coeds. What's tragic is that the ice cream itself falls short of the New England dominance of American ice cream styles. Trying four flavors, I found the base creams to be light and airy (overrun?) as opposed to the heavy chew for hard pack ice cream that is reflective of the region. Also the ice cream itself was being served too warm only making the unfortunately light base more exasperated and it turning melty, quickly on a rather mild summer evening. Lastly -- none of the flavors that had mix-ins (ex: Oreo chunks from mint Oreo, or brownie chunks from espresso brownie) had a good amount of mix-ins. If it was just my flavor, I'd chalk it up to a fluke but we all had the same experience. We all find ourselves looking for the second half of the flavors we expected. What was good was the flavor of the base creams. For example the coffee base was pretty stand out good. While the smiles from the cheerful teenagers at the window were nice, they can't make up for the product itself. If you're willing to do a compare and contrast, check out the Dairy Corner in Scarborough.

Big Daddy's was a lot of fun to try!…read more We originally thought it was closed due to the times not being updated on the website...but we saw the open sign and went! The ice cream was really good! The menu has some unique flavors on there! The service was also great! Everyone was very nice and helpful. The pizza was so fast and so delicious! If you are looking for a quick grab and go food, it's perfect! It was a little bit expensive for the size of it, but I think it's some of the best pizza I have had this summer! No restrooms that I saw available...there may have been an inside area you could eat at, but we were only stopping for a minute so didn't look around! I would recommend this place to others!

Lady Bug was cute, and so were all the others, but boring. Even having strawberries in the ice cream with the chocolate would've made a texture and flavor difference. Also the butter crunch did not have anywhere near enough butter crunches :( Staff was wonderful, and the option of all sorts of different nuts as sundae toppings was important to me as a long time ice cream employee - everybody has their favorite toppings and there's so few places you can specialize!

So I think the opinions of this ice cream establishment is all about preferences. It all really…read moredepends on what kind of ice cream you are looking for. The flavors here are many and they churn their own ice cream which gives it a thicker and denser consistency than your typical creamy and smooth ice cream. I got the vanilla with fudge swirl and it was very good and my wife got the M&M one and she liked it yet thought it was a little too thick. We really didn't get a chance to see what the service was like as they were very busy but they were quick with all the people ordering. Lastly there isn't a lot of room to sit and chill and eat your frozen treat but you can go behind the building to play some putt putt golf. Also it is a little pricier. We got two small one scoop cups and it was $12 but that is to be expected with OOB and Funtown Splashtown right around the corner. Enjoyed it and if we are back in the area, we may come again.

They have plenty of flavors and generous serving sizes. I'm a fan of moose tracks, caramel, and brownie/fudge flavors. I've never had a bad cup of ice cream here.
