Jordan Pond House Shop | Acadia National Park

Jordan Pond gift shop interior at Acadia National Park featuring a glass display case with chocolates and pastries

This is a Heritage Atelier in Acadia focused on homemade ice cream and fudge with local flavors, plus branded merch. The blueberry ice cream uses real Maine blueberries, and fudge flavors include chocolate coconut and vanilla praline. The staff are famously kind and generous with samples, and prices are fair for the quality.
