Dairy Joy

I can only speak for my kids, who say that Dairy Joy is tops in the area for non-​gelato offerings. Their sample size is pretty big, too. Stretching from the beach soft serve of Revere up through the various Gifford’s stands up North. They like both soft-​serve and hard-​serve, but what really floats their boat is the huge amounts of hot fudge they put on their sundaes. I am not sure that is the best criterion to rate an ice cream stand, but they insist that their 5 star-​rating also reflects the quality of their ice. They definitely rank Dairy Joy over Big Daddy’s in Wells, and Garside’s and Martel’s in Saco. I can’t say, since I am a total ice cream snob. If it ain’t Rococo or the dueling joints up on Fore Street, I won’t touch it! Come to think of it, those places don’t even serve ice cream anyway! I can say that the people here are super friendly, and yes it is true that a lot of things like frinkles and sparkles cost extra, but the base is so low, quit your complaining. I think I paid $ 2.19 for a soft-​serve sundae there yesterday, where do you find cheaper ice cream than that? Mexico maybe?

Wayyyyy overpriced. Hot fudge sundae, small 3.70 and if you want anything on it like whip cream etc, that’s extra. Ridiculous. They nickel and dime you for everything. If you want great ice cream go to Martel’s on route 1 north towards Portland in Saco.

Lousy ice cream! Only thing going for it is that it’s next to Hannaford’s and people out of town don’t realize that Dairy Queen down the road is a much better place with superior products.

Dairy Joy is a cute little spot, but I didn’t find the soft serve ice cream to be much better than Dairy Queen. The flavors are better, but I wasn’t overwhelmed by the quality. I think I’m going to have to try the hard ice cream next time.

who knew this place would have one of the best blizzards around!
Awkward location. close to interesting area of biddo. but your safe cause its Maine… I mean really!
Loved their cookie dough blizzard… they don’t skimp on the cookie dough!
Hands down better than dairy queens!!!

We go up to Maine every weekend or so on average, and we stop at this place almost every time we go! They always have a new soft serve flavor that you never see at any other ice cream shop. The location isn’t the best, but the quality and taste of the ice cream makes up for it.

Great ice cream my favorite, better than DQ for sure. I love this place has great ice cream. The area is a little scary so bring you mace. The soft serve ice cream can not be beat, prices are right and worth the stop everytime.

Stopped at this nice little ice cream stand with outside takeout windows in Biddeford. Located in front of the Hannaford, Dairy Joy offers Maine hard ice cream and soft serve ice cream cones/​dishes and other cold treats such as sundaes, Nor’ Easters, banana splits, parfaits, shakes, slushes, Pepsi products, and more. and the prices here are very reasonable with a small ice cream cone for under $ 2. I got a Brownie Treat for $ 2.99 plus tax, which was a HUGE sundae, which had a generous amount of vanilla soft serve, hot fudge sauce, chewy brownie bites, and topped with whipped cream. Sooo good on this very hot day!
