Whenever I visit friends in Charlestown we come here. Excellent ice cream and service. Tons of flavors. Tonight I had burgundy cherry and orange pineapple. Both were great.

The BEST handmade ice cream we have ever had. We've tried several different flavors and always had a great experience!I used to be all about the chocolate, or coffee ice cream, but now my favorites are the molasses ginger snap, and the peanut butter & jelly. Can not wait to try the licorice ice cream. Oh...and the handmade baklava is out of this word delicious!

I look forward every summer to when The Ice Cream machine opens. The ice cream is fantastic and they have so many different flavors. The waffle cones are made on sight and are delicious. I highly recommend this place. Dave the owner is one of the nicest guys around.

We went to get ice cream in NH to check off NH from our list of states (as we drove through Vermont). What a great decision! The ice cream was terrific. We had 4 different flavors and they were all fabulous. Service was great and the price was super fair. Highly recommend!

I've heard great things about this place. Not sure what happened. Got the coconut almond chip. The almonds were stale and the chocolate was pretty much non-existent. Very disappointing. I'll stick with Sanctuary Dairy Farm.

Wow. Just wow YUM. Okay, first of all if you Google directions to here they may have you turn onto Perry Lane. No just keep going and there is a lot for the ice cream place after the sign. The sign is in super small lettering but they have picnic tables and a huge colorful tent outside so it's easy to see once you are in the area. Cash only. Nice menu selection. Very reasonable prices. Great customer service. Inside area to eat or an outside area - one under the tent and one across the parking lot in a grassy area. Under the tent area there are napkins on the tables and there is two small picnic tables making it easy for little ones to eat. They have an ice cold water station available outside under the tent as well. Now for the ice cream. Oh my it was super creamy and delicious and probably one of my favorite ice cream places like ever! Definitely will stop here again.

Most definitely the best ice cream around! Homemade in house and so so many flavors to choose from, as well as home made waffle cones and waffle bowls. Staff is fantastic and the owner is friendly, funny and entertaining! Love this place!

Absolutely worth the drive for homemade ice cream yummy. Many different flavors to choose from but my favorite is a triple shot of espresso coffee shake. The service is always awesome and the owner is always happy to socialize for a bit.

The staff is friendly and kind. Been here twice. Personally I wouldn't go back. My first time trying I absolutely did not like the ice cream. I actually threw away more than half of it. But against my better judgment I tried it a second time to see if it was just the flavor I got the first time. My second visit I again didn't like the ice cream and threw it away. The waffle cone tasted like it was no good and had sat too long. I also personally think it is way too expensive. Again this is my personal opinion.

The Ice Cream Machine is amazing! There are not enough words to express how great the flavors truly are. Everyone that we have encountered there is super friendly and knowledgeable. I personally recommend The Ice Cream Machine! Plus the owner is a wonderful person, so incredibly generous and kind.

Bordeaux cherry with hot fudge is my favorite... So is pumpkin with butterscotch... So is molasses ginger snap... So is sweet cream with anything on it... In fact all of the ice cream is VERY good! Can't go wrong! I obviously haven't! Plus David is a great guy! 👍

Wonderful icecream & wonderful service! The baklava Sunday is made to perfection! Best baklava I've found around this area yet (compared to actual Greek baklava it's very very close!) We were so very glad to see they had sorbet as one of my kids is allergic to dairy so even he had some amazing options!

Best ice cream around! This is one of the only places who make their own ice cream in the area and the superior quality is obvious. The servers are very courteous and the owner cracks me up. You can eat inside or outside and the other customers are always happy and friendly... because ice cream.

The ice cream is superior and the staff is very friendly, honest and kind. I left my wallet on the outdoor table last summer. They made every effort to contact me. Unable to find me they held it in the cash register until the next morning. They are very dos friendly and the owner is the kind of person you just like immediately.

The best homemade icecream! My kids and I go there religiously, once a week....or more.

Simply the best and most interesting ice cream. Friendly owners and staff make the experience fun. I would suggest a flavor, but there's always an interesting one-time-experiment to try. Molasses gingersnap is my go-to though.

If you are a fan of ice cream then you need to visit this gem. My wife loves the molasses gingersnap and I adore the key lime flavor. It's such a great treat to enjoy!

Very good hand made ice cream. Definitely the best around. Quite a large Sunday for the price. Will go back again and again. Picnic tables to b socially distant as well. Under shaded trees. Very friendly ice cream girl.

Outrageous credit card fee and Styrofoam. I can totally see passing along the fees a small business is charged but 10% is crazy. Ice cream was fine but nothing great. And Styrofoam is unnecessary and shows a business just doesn't care.

Best ice cream ever. Made it for last day of season. Counting the days till it is open again. Delicious! If you are in the area during season well worth the stop!

Summer doesn't start around here until The Ice Cream Machine opens up. All home made, including the waffle cones and bowls, lots of flavors, pure YUM!If you are in the neighborhood of Charlestown NH, be sure to stop in for some creamy goodness and friendly folks.

This place truly is a gem. Friendly owners, helpful staff, and delicious homemade ice cream in a laid back (and colorful) setting. The waffle cones are made on site and are a real treat. Bring your cash and your appetite.

Easily one of the best ice cream places I’ve ever been too. That’s really saying something considering the amount of ice cream places my bf and I have tried. The waffle cone was great and the portions were huge
