Gifford's Famous Ice Ceam - Bangor

Wonderful place. Outdoor seating. Large portions. We ask for cups to put kids cones in to give us back up. AND we take baby wipes. Can't recommend that enough, for after your kids dive into that ice cream with enthusiasm. You may need a couple too.

New flavor offerings every year/month. Some of the best ice cream in Maine. A little hard to get out of due to location. May have to wait a few minutes to exit parking lot. They do have picnic tables in the rear for nice weather if you want to sit outside and eat.

Everytime I go here I get a parfait, devour it in 5 or 10 minutes and spend the rest of the day wondering if I will every feel hungry again. If you have one of these at noon it probably won't be until around 9-10pm that you crave food once more. This isn't a complaint. It's kind of a feature. If you like feeling agonizingly full. But they have a large menu so if youre not into that just get a scoop or two of their other offerings. But if you want decadent, have a parfait. It offers all the trappings of chain ice cream parlors except richer, more flavorful and more filling. So yeah, I like Giffords.

Very much the old fashioned local ice cream. Open for many years and still holding true to the values that made it popular in the first place.

Great service for a walk-upbstand. Super pleasant young lady. The rainbow sorbet was devine!
