Dining★ 4.8
Bright red ice cream stand in Acadia National Park offering shakes, hot dogs, and treats.

Blueberry soft serve delivers a bright, tart blueberry punch with a silky, creamy body. The Donut Cone teams a warm chimney cake with a cold swirl, outer crust giving a subtle snap as you bite. The blueberry cookie sandwich stacks homemade blueberry cookies around blueberry ice cream for an instant crave-worthy bite. Casual, counter-service vibes keep the energy high after a park visit near Schoodic Point.
