14 Best Ice Cream Shops near Portsmouth

“This is a Portsmouth must!! Great ice cream and super friendly customer service, we had the peppermint stick ice cream and I recommend ordering it before it's gone!! We ordered it and took home a pint!“

“Stopped in to Kilwins to grab a soda for my diabetic boyfriend who had low blood sugar, they don’t sell loose sodas but were very kind and just gave him one so we really appreciate that! Excellent treats, caramel apple was delicious and they offered to cut it so it was easier to share which I really like, and the fudge is delicious 💖💖 thank you guys next time we are in Portsmouth we will stop in again :)“

“Just a quick note from someone who never writes reviews. Sitting at The Beach Plum with my three kiddos and so impressed and grateful for the wonderful service we’ve received here. We had a tiny issue with one meal which was immediately acknowledged and fixed tenfold. Two members of the team checked on us several times after to make sure we were doing okay and then sent us home with an extra meal for later on the house. My kids learned a great lesson on wonderful and kind customer service and The Beach Plum will continue to be a favorite spot for us! Thank you!!“

“We were here on vacation and we are so glad we found this ice cream shop. The owners were so nice and attentive. The ice cream was very creamy and tasted great. Also we ordered the hot fudge sundae and the hot fudge is one of the best we've had. Would definitely recommend and when we go back, we will definitely be stopping by.“

“Hands down some of the best frozen custard I've ever had! Much creamier than plain old ice cream. My maple scoops tasted even better than a maple creemee which is saying a lot.

Although the facilities were sparse (a porta potty) I commend them in their menu and Sundae choices.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the food truck event turns out.“

“First time ordering from Susie’s Sweets and can’t wait to go back. Very easy to order and even customized a cake for us for the 4th of July holiday. Large cake was perfect size for 10 people. Highly recommend them , better pricing and quality than other well known ice cream places in MA and NH“

“Took my grandson as a special treat after our visit to the children’s museum. While the cost of the shakes are pretty high, I’m not sure you could add another thing to them because they are SO filled with treats. We would recommend it 😊“

“the servings are huge and the price is good“

“We really liked Crumbl Cookies in Portsmouth, NH. The cookies were fresh out of the oven, small, cute, and absolutely delicious. On the other hand, the service is almost non-existent: everything is done via a machine, which is an accepted choice. This may surprise you or lack human warmth, but for the rest, the experience was great. An address to try for lovers of fresh and tasty cookies!“

“Had a good time there. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have as many things to do on the week days as they do on the weekends. They have a fall festive during October, every weekend. With a BBQ, blue grass band and some other things. But we still had a good time. The " farm animals" were just goats. But they were cute. There was a nice selection of pumpkins and the prices for the pumpkins weren't bad. We wanted to do the corn maze but it was an additional 9$ per adult and children under 5 were free. But we decided that it wasn't worth the money for 3 adults and a toddler. ( personal choice ) the corn maze looked okay. Just a plain corn maze. The main store was Amazing. So many choices of fresh food and yummy treats. I was so excited to get some zucchini bread. Which was delicious. They also have a grill where you can order food.
The orchard part was probably my least favorite part.. I wish there was a smaller option for pick your own apples. The bushel was 35$ for the smallest bag. There was 15$ bag but apparently it was an add on only. The nice thing is you could use foodstamps to pay for the apples and at the store. The trees in the orchard were decent, it was a little hard to see the flags to mark them but we had a good time. Our toddler absolutely had a blast, with everything. She just loved being able to run and do everything on her own. It wasn't super crowded so you could walk at your own pace and have fun.
I would recommend going if you live in the area. We drove from Massachusetts but my father only lives 15 minutes from there. It was on a nice back road area with almost no vehicle traffic which was nice too. Good family place to get some good food, fruit and have a good time.“

“This place is awesome. Me and my son have gone every year. I would highly recommend it.“

“I usually don't step foot in Hampton in peak summer season, but I found myself in the neighborhood after beach yoga. KB's has its own parking lot (a blessing) and is easy to find. Friendly, efficient service and delicious bagels and coffee. Also very reasonable prices. Who could ask for more?“

“I got the chocolate boba milk tea. The boba itself was great and I liked the flavor, it was like chocolate milk with tapioca boba, only issue was that the straw was literally the same height as the large cup, so I had to press my face on the lid to drink the boba. PLEASE GET BIGGER STRAWS :(“

“Amazing place and fair prices! The staff were very welcoming. Great ice cream!
