Great little place for Great ice cream, sundaes, hard serve, soft serve, yogurt ice cream, frappes, specialty drinks, hot dogs and even Lobster rolls(but not now as Lobster prices are so High)! Also can get a Pint or Quart of your favorite flavor! Great friendly staff! My go to spot when I get my crave on! The Peanut Butter Paradise is unbelievable!!!! Nothing Better than the Dover D!
First time visitor last night. I had Peanut Butter Paradise. Had to try it with my name being in the flavor. Glad I did! That was the best peanut butter based ice cream Ive ever had! Also the amount given was quite generous and the service was quick.
I have always enjoyed My experiences at Dover delite. The staff are always very friendly and their Ice cream is top notch!! Very pleased to give them my business every year!! Keep up the great work folks!! Thanks, Bobby Strout ll
Generous portions and polite service. A customer who dropped his icecream by accident was given a new one even without asking for it.
Very good hard serve and soft serve icecream. Hand scooped. Big scoops. Very reasonable prices.
Great ice cream! Fun attendants!
Really good ice cream and friendly service.
Amazing group of girls keep up the great work
I was thirsty so all I know is that their water costs $2. Its a 20 oz bottle from Walmart.
Servings are huge, ice cream is yummy.
Generous portions. Great quality.
Great ice cream!! Great toppings! Great portions!!
Great selection of ice creams, friendly staff and prompt service.
They dont give u to go containers and theres only 2 spots to sit they also dont know what Jimmies are i probably wont be going there again but thats just my opinion apparently they r very popular
I got a smoothie and my friend got the vanilla ice cream. She told me it tasted gross and proceeded to throw it out. But the workers were super nice.
Most of the time I would say Dover Delight get 5 stars but not today. Today might be one of those days when the staff wasnt at their best. Today the staff wasnt very personable and they were very short with my toppings.I will go back because most of my experiences have been good, but Ill be paying attention going forward.
Being a kid at heart, I am EXTREMELY picky about my cotton candy & bubblegum ice - cream. But I am always satisfied when coming here & the staff is kind and helpful. I do wish there was a bigger standing area when ordering in line, but hey. Win some ya lose some! Thanks DD 🤙
Good ice cream at good prices
Great service, great ice cream!!
Awesome icecream
When in New Hampshire, at Spring, Summer or Fall, stop by this little ice cream mine, whether for a cone, a cup, a pint or a gallon, their ice cream is made with natural ingredients with plenty of flavors for every palate. My favorite flavor is chocolate, but their pumpkin with walnuts is to die for. The kid who tend to customers are super attentive, joyful and wonderful.
Very fast ice cream and frappes
Great ice cream excellent service
Very large portions a Kiddy size is what you would normally consider a medium!!
Good ice-cream and service. The red raspberry flavor I recommend. Serving portion was good. Credit/debit cards accepted. You may have to pay for parking. Bring change.
Basically grocery store selection equal quality, better than most others in the area however due to convenience and price, overall good if you want something quick but dont expect too much
Great place with great ice cream many choices all very reasonably priced. I love the peanut butter explosion in my milkshake. The portions were huge as it was the last day of the year season. But I heard they always huge portions for the prices they charge. Not a bad thing
Good ice cream . Alot and great price
Always a long line but it moves quickly. Very generous portions. They have hard and soft serve from Shanes of Maine. Reminds me of historic Loan Oak in Rochester but without the trees.
Absolutely delicious. Tons of flavors, great selection, and enormous proportions. Not a ton of seating, but plenty of parking and room to roam around. Id suggest getting cups for any kids cones, theres so much ice cream, even in the kids size, that it melts and will fall off without a cup as backup.
For the price, considering the portion sizes, this place is a good deal. However, they got the order wrong and from what I heard from other patrons during my brief time in line thats pretty common. So we ended up with tornado instead of confusion, and frankly tornado wasnt very good. It was a bunch of candy and cookie dough pieces loosely held together by ice cream, which sounds great, but unfortunately the sum is less than its parts. Mostly, the cookie dough was bland and flavorless and the other flavors were just too much.
Did go there
I love this ice cream shop. The ice cream/milkshakes/desserts etc are ALWAYS delicious. I highly recommend over all other ice cream joints in Dover, including the Big Dipper
Love the cappuccino flavor burst soft serve.
It was our first time here. We were impressed by the service and the ice cream is delicious. It is obviously a popular place, judging by the long line which the three person staff managed amazingly.
Some of the best homemade ice cream you will have on the seacoast
Great attitude and Awesome icecream! Huge portions!
Very friendly and great ice cream!
Ice cream was excellent. Portion sizes were huge!! And price was very reasonable
Block out plenty of time, you are going to have to wait. It takes awhile, even once you order you are going to be there a bit. I will say that you get a good amount for the prices so they have that going for them.My chief complaint, other than the wait, is something that I never thought I would actually complain about. But they put TOO MUCH stuff in their ice cream. I got the confusion, which is a little bit of everything. And while true to it’s name, it isn’t really ice cream. Once you have passed the 1 to 1 ratio of stuff to ice cream, it’s really just candy that happens to have some ice cream. As a child I would have DIED for this place. What child doesn’t really want a cup full of candy? But as an adult I would actually like to have more than just candy. I actually want some ice cream. And I am guessing it is the norm because I have had the confusion twice and both times it had whole pieces of chocolate, giant cookie pieces and golf ball sized hunks of cookie dough. That is not an exaggeration, they were HUGE.It was too much. Three bites in I had to stop. I started trying to carve the ice cream off of the cookie dough meteors to eat. I then started pulling the cookie dough out. After half way through I gave up and put it in the freezer. I’m going to buy a pint of vanilla and try and mix it together myself.
Good ice cream spot to take kids to!
Great ice cream place! Highly recommend Maine Tracks flavor. It has swirls of fudge, and chunks of Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. It is usually busy, especially after 5pm, but the wait isnt too long. Note to customer: Ordering a small is a good amount of ice cream for the price. Ordering a large is an overwhelming amount of ice cream, but oh so good!
They have really good soft serve here. Convenient place to get ice cream in Dover.
Great ice cream
Great Shanes of Maine ice cream. Huge serving sizes. The kiddie size on a plain cone is as large as most large sizes at other ice cream shops. Fast friendly service too.
Yum!!!! Great Ice cream and drinks.
Good quality ice cream. Small is a decent size. Many flavors to choose from.
I love ice cream so I take this review seriously. Their ice cream is average to poor and sizes are too big/expensive. A kids size is more like a medium (2+ servings/scoops) and is way too much ice cream. They need a smaller size for $2.50 or something unless they want our kids getting fat 😮. The service is also a bit sloppy and sometimes slow though the employees are nice.When you eat pretty healthy with not much refined sugar but love ice cream, anything more than a decent scoop can leave you feeling slightly sick--as you do when you eat too much ice cream. Please add a smaller size.
I love this little shop!!! Its right beside my daughters dance studio and we enjoy Dover Delite so much weve made ice cream dates our ritual after dance class. The pricing is fantastic for the amount of food you get and its all delicious. Ive loved everything Ive tried. The service is amazing; employees always go out of their way to make it a pleasant experience. My family and I will drive an extra 20 minutes and pass three other ice cream shops to come here. So worth it!
Great place for ice cream, floats, milkshakes, and smoothies. You can sample the ice cream as well. Not a lot of outdoor space.
The amount of soft serve you get on a small cone is crazy. I highly recommend the black raspberry vanilla twist
Great mom and pop type ice cream stand. The portions are pretty damn big. Dont say you where not warned. haha
Black raspberry soft serve????? Um, YES!
Great selection of flavors, friendly staff and convenient location make Dover Delite a must go summer treat!
Delicious ice cream need I say more
Best ice cream in the sea coast! Big servings so be aware! 😉
This is a seasonal ice cream favorite when I am on foot in the downtown area of Dover. I have been going here for no less than 15 years and have never left unhappy. Try it if you find yourself nearby during the summer.
After waiting in line for awhile, we finally ordered. When we got our ice cream after another long wait, the small was huge (which I can appreciate) but the flavor was not what I ordered. I got the confusion flavor but it only had cookie dough and m&Ms despite what the description said. I also didnt like the flavor.
Very good ice cream
Delicious
A ton of yummy flavors, dips, unique cones, etc. Friendly workers too!
Great ice cream and huge portions! They offer good quality ice cream as well as hot dogs and lobster rolls.
Great flavor choices. Fresh taste. Good prices. Outside seating needs more shade.
I got a hot dog and it was cold on an untoasted bun. I know the buns dont *have* to be toasted but yea. Wasnt too impressed with the cold hot dogs though. Also out of ketchup so I just went home and remade the entire thing myself lol.Edit - I went last week 6-5-20. Ordered a BANANA split, no banana. Constantly disappointed here. Do not reccomend.
So good, so busy, so much icecream. They take cards!
Took my love out for ice cream... its his birthday tomorrow ;-)
Friendly place. The ice cream tasted good. Its a small little shop. Mom and pop type of joint.
I could not get over the portion size, ginormous! Best ice cream Ive had in a while
My favorite local ice cream joint
Excellent selection of flavors and great service. I will be making several more visits during the summer.
Good place for icecream with family members
Best icecream on the Seacoast hands down!
Staff were friendly and explained they had limited hours after summer season. Ice cream ser ing was good and we enjoyed it.
Omg good icecream and prices.....
Open late with quick service. Yummm
GIANT, RANCID, NASTY, DISGUSTING, OVERWHELMING trash dumpster sits just to the right of this underwhelming ice cream stand.Do you like the stench of rotten trash while you eat ice cream in the inescapable heat? Well then this is the place for you.Oh, and when you ask for ice cream dipped in chocolate (as seen on the menu), dont expect it to be dipped properly.
Great prices large serving sizes
Amazing Cookie Dough Ice cream
Always a great selection, happy and helpful staff, and an awesome location.
Tasty local, rich Ice cream.
Good ice cream. Sugar cones were stale and gross for our visit. Get a container.
Quick service, great ice cream.
Excellent ice cream, always a long line, but moves quickly.
Great ice cream. Great scoops great price
Our favorite ice cream spot! Ginger and blueberry is the best!
I highly suggest the Pistachio frozen yogurt. Great prices, great ice cream.
Delicious ice cream and friendly staff along with great service
Great selection. Friendly staff
Friendly service, large & delicious summer cold treats!
VERY generous serving! They dont play around like brusters! Here you order a small and its like a large at brusters and the falcons are way better. Id you ordered cookies and cream at brusters it would look like vanilla ice cream with pepper in it but here😩😩 you get nice big chunks of cookie and its sooooo good best ice cream ever !
Best Ive cream stand in town! Not to mention the only one in town!
Great ice cream but NOT open...
This is our favorite ice cream place in Dover!
