Delicious ice cream and huge portions! these are both small soft serves. we also ordered a small hard serve (coffee) and it had like 2 giant scoops of ice cream. the blueberry soft serve is a MUST! it was so good, i went back twice!

First stop at Ellsworth before heading to Bar Harbor the next day. Reviews are true, small is large here, especially to New Yorkers. We ordered the vanilla soft serve and the Maine blueberry flavor. The soft serve is very smooth and creamy, and the blueberry one is very fresh and fruity! Much jam inside! Def worth a stop for a delightful night snack!

HUGE scoop of ice cream. The server said We do things big around here! Awesome! Huge selection of flavors

A traditional, simple, and good side-of-the-road ice cream stop. They have about 4 soft-serve flavors and about a dozen hard-scoop flavors. The waffle cones are fresh and tasty, banana splits, brownie bowls, and shakes if that is your thing. There is a small grassy area if you want to enjoy it there, but seating is limited (most likely due to COVID)

Great ice cream both soft serve & hard ice cream. The prices were pretty high even though the servings were semi generous. It was very busy & a little unorganized. But if your craving a good refreshing treat...stop by.

The floofy brown haired cashier with glasses did a wonderful job scooping my large blueberry cone. He did so pleasantly, despite the hurricane-like conditions outside. If I could, I’d give Blueberry Hill a 6/5 star review because the customer service and ice cream quality is just that good!

We were looking for ice cream on our way out of Acadia. We stopped here and got hard serve. The portions were a bit small and pricey, but still good. I think the portions are better for soft serve.

Best ice cream ever. My fave is normally peppermint but out of it tonight. Got Sea Salt Caramel instead.. Very good.

We had the blueberry soft serve and the cone servings were huge and delicious. Note that they only accept cash, and while the gas station directly across the street has an ATM, it was out of service when we were there. There is a bank just down the street and the turn for the Walmart, but the charge $4 to get your cash. Of you bank doesnt reimburse those fees (ours does) that its a bit pricey.

PB JOE ICE CREAM IS EXCELLENT AND THEY HAVE COFFEE SOFT SERVE

I NEVER give anyone 5 stars, but this was delicious soft serve ice cream. Everyone in our party had something different and everybody was happy. Very friendly staff!!

We are in Maine for vacation and we came when they said their new business hours were. It was completely empty. Very disappointed that they werent responsible enough to be there.

This place is a local institution, and I can see why. Stop by for some of the best ice cream youll ever taste, served in generous portions.

Large regular cone! Delicious! Cash Only. Did not notice places to sit or restrooms.

One of the best local places to get ice cream. Its cash only but if youre in the area well worth the stop

I come here every year! They are so generous in portions and fairly priced. The flavors are exceptional

Medium is large. Large needs a cup.All homemade and no air, just frozen cream like the olden days. Not custard-based.

This place has good ice cream, but the service was horrible. The girl that was making the ice cream was too busy talking to guys and made our order incorrectly. When we asked her if she could correct it, she rolled her eyes and kept telling us it was right and basically was trying to get rid of us. We spoke to the manager who refunded our money without apologizing or anything for the rude service.We have been here one time before and will say that this place has really good ice cream, but this time the service was not worth it.

We were staying in the area on vacation and had passed by this spot on the way into Bar Harbor each day. One of our last days in the area, after getting gas across the street, we decided to check this little shop out and we were definitely glad we did!My wife and I shared an order of blueberry ice cream, which was really great! Theres a good amount of blueberry flavor in it, and its very smooth and soft.

The icream was great, but not the easiest place to get in and out of.

Best soft serve Ive had. Period. ❤️🤩 The blueberry swirled with the mango pineapple was AMAYZING

Very good hand dipped with many excellent flavors.

Thats a medium cone.

Generous portions of ice cream and toppings. Blueberry is delicious! They are open on Sunday.

Excellent ice cream; very generous serving!

The best soft and hard serve ice cream

Great flavors. Wonderful service

Their ice cream was awesome! Nice serving sizes too!

Excellent hand dipped ice cream from Giffords in Portland.

Too many amazing flavors to choose from! The ice cream is delicious and service is super fast.

There small is huge! Very good loved it

Always awesome. Especially the wild blueberry ice cream

Good ice cream. Shake was just ok. Would not recommend the soft serve, go the actual ice cream.

Generous portions and delicious! 😋

Always have to stop at least once a visit home.

The small is large. Stop here, get happy!

Good selection of excellent ice cream. It is cash only so make sure you have cash with you.

Delicious! Ordered a small cone and it was huge! I love Giffords Ice cream!

Delicious, sumptuous, simply excellent ice cream (mine was the black raspberry chocolate chip) and superb customer service.I messed up and grabbed the wrong order, but they just said no problem and gave me the right thing and made another one for the poor customer I ripped off by accident.However, you have to eat the ice cream inside (your car or the seating area) otherwise youll be eaten alive by the most vicious mosquitoes on this side of the country (the only worse experience was in Alaska in July).

So many choices, this is a medium cone. Yummy

One of the best ice creams ice ever had.

The blueberry ice cream was awesome!

We had ice cream for dinner tonight! The best!!

There coffee blackberry twist is the best and unmatched.

Huge portions and yummy ice cream

Mmmm o boy good ice cream!!!

Amazing place. Huge portions!

Awesome ice cream generous portions

Delicious blueberry ice cream!!

Best icecream in the world

Ice cream was good about $5 for 2 scoops.

Generous and tasty portions!

Best ice-cream in Maine! We tried almost all the ice cream places in Bar Harbor and this was the best. Their blueberry soft serve twisted with raspberry was amazing!! Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Great place to get a frozen treat!!!

Perfect ice cream

I used to love going to Blueberry Hill every summer, but when I saw that the women working there weren’t wearing masks I was disappointed. I won’t be going again. Everyone should be wearing masks, especially those who work in food service. There’s no excuse.

Some of the best ice cream ever

Poor customer service. Substituted items without warning and give an attitude, complete with an eye-roll when I asked them to fix it. This is the second time they have substituted strawberry flavoring for strawberry ice cream without telling me. 24$ for three milkshakes that were still incorrect after they were fixed because she couldnt make them thick. Hit or miss with employees here. Some of them do it perfectly without an attitude!

Delicious ice cream, kind of expensive. $7 for a small cone. Oh well, vacation.

Standard soft serve and hard ice cream for cones. A few extra soft serve flavors, such as blueberry. Both types are excellent. Be aware their small is bigger than most folks large. If youre in the area a must visit. No inside seating, order from the window, and restrooms.

Friendly service . Generous portions.

I wish I could rate it higher is all I’m going to say

Best. Ice cream. Ever. No kidding. I have never been to an ice cream parlor that has more soft serve options, including blueberry soft serve! The blueberry hard serve is also wonderful! If you want a small portion forget it, the smalls are the size of your head, and for a very inexpensive price! Ice cream lovers dream right here! I have absolutely never been disappointed with this ice cream. It is usually always packed, for a very good reason. I 10 out of 10 recommend Blue Berry Hill Dairy Bar. Pictured below are small hard serve and small soft serve!

Wild Maine blueberry is divine

Great qual6 and quantity.

WOW! TRY THE MAPPLE WALNUT!

Just like I remembered! Took my family here for the first time since I moved and they loved it!! My daughter had the cotton candy on a cone, my husband had the peanut butter Explosion flurry and I had black raspberry choc chip on a waffle cone. All excellent! They both couldnt stop saying how good theirs were! I have a feeling we will be back before heading back down South!

Giffords Ice Cream at premium price. The service was astonishingly poor, with many flavors sold out and staff who didn’t seem to care. The backyard seating area is fun for kids.

5 star ice cream and portions. 1 star on safety conscience! NO employees wore masks! All customers wore masks! Please, please! For all of your customers sake, employees, start wearing masks!!

Cant review them since the hours listed are wrong. Went last night (Wednesday) at 830pm. Hours listed until 9pm. Everything shut down and all lights off. What time do they close???

Awesome icecream

Such good homemade ice cream! I picked up a quart of pumpkin pecan praline!

Good ice cream

Good stuff. Only one open we found in oct.

Fresh local flavors, delicious French Vanilla ice cream, really special blueberry crumble froyo. Thanks to Sam, an Ellsworth high school senior working at Gateway, for sending us to annoy her brother at his job!

Great Maine wild blueberry

Awesome place for ice cream. Super huge servings at good prices. They always have many varieties and combos of soft serve ice cream. Fast friendly service.

The black raspberry and coffee twist is a must try!

The ice cream is great, the service was fast and friendly. I love that they carry Giffords Ice Cream especially my favorite the toasted coconut mmmmmm

Best Ice Cream In Ellsworth, Maine

Great ice cream! Even the small sundae had at least 2 scoops!

If you want to refresh on a hot day. Grab an ice cream at Blueberry hill dairy bar. I ❤️ their 🍦

5 stars all day long! Fantastic ice cream with a great price point! Great service as well!

Ice cream was good, with nice size portions. Took forever to get our ice cream. Ordered at one window and then waited with about 25 other people for our orders. I cant blame the 2 young girls they had working, those girls were moving and cranking it out. There should have been more workers.

Blueberry Hill in Ellsworth is our favorite ice cream stand. Period. Giffords Ice Cream -in my opinion the best ice cream in Maine - is generously served up with served up by local youngsters at a very modest price! Cones come in three sizes and before you decide on the large youd better be seriously in need of a massive ice cream infusion! Order outside at one window and pick up at the other window. Cash only. They have a small inside sit-down area, but most opt to go around to the side or rear and enjoy the outside Maine weather while the kids play on the modest playground area. Plenty of areas nearby to walk the dog if needed. Hint: get the Wild Maine Blueberry hard-serve....

Enjoy some delicious Maine own Giffords Ice Cream

Great place to go for cheap ice cream. Friendly servers, decent selection of flavors and products and fast service. Plenty of parking.

Generous helpings, good price, open late. We will definelty be coming back!

Incredible service, great prices, huge servings.

Love their soft serve ice cream!

Great ice cream!

Delicious! Very excited to have blueberry soft serve! such generous portions! And a special doggie bowl for our furry friend.

Blueberry ice cream is delicious. However, there are a bunch of young teenagers working in there that have all their friends come inside take up the seats and then give you dirty looks when you try to go in and sit in there. If they they dont feel like fixing something you want to order they tell you they are out of it or their equipment is down.

The lady taking the orders was very friendly! Wonderful ice cream. Great flavors. Well worth any wait you might have!

Great value for fantastic ice cream!

I had Giffords. Moose Tracks, small serving. In a cup, and it was more than this adult was comfortable eating. But its the smallest serving, so go hungry or willing to share.

The ice cream was very good. The wait was way too long. It took over 30 minutes to get our ice cream and it was very busy. They did not have enough people working. But overall the ice cream was great.

Great service, and the soft serve was delicious!

Not too excited about the Red Skinned Hotdogs. Intention was there, large serving but no taste, best change the hot dogs! Dairy Bar serves a mean Root Beer Float! Reminds yoy of the good ole days! Friendly staff, clean place; aim to please!

Reasonably priced, generous portions, tasty. The best place in Ellsworth for ice cream by far. If youre not as choosy about your dairy confections, I recommend ordering the discounted grab bag with a mystery item.
