If you are like me, you travel to Western Maine via Route 302
from the Maine Turnpike just north of Portland.
One place I can never resist and always recommend to my guests headed through
Stoneham is Raymond’s Frozen Custard Gourmet Ice Cream. The ice cream is made fresh daily and is
rich, creamy and unbelievably delicious. Like most New England ice cream
locations portions are generous. They
only make and offer a few flavors each day so make sure to look at the White
Board next to the ordering window, those are the flavors of the day. I have personally tried the vanilla,
chocolate, coffee, black raspberry and blueberry. This ice cream is two hours
from my home yet I would not find that too far to take a nice drive right now
since my mouth is watering. Custard ice
cream is different because it’s made from eggs as well as cream. Some of the other flavors that I have seen
from time to time include Grasshopper (mint chocolate chip) Almond Joy, lemon,
as well as seasonal favorites like maple walnut and pumpkin in the fall. They also have a farm stand right next door
if you would like to pick up some fresh vegetables. Raymond’s is open spring, summer and fall and
if you are lucky enough to be up there on the weekends before Christmas they
sell Christmas trees and sometimes have the ice cream open.
I hope you start a new tradition on
your way to Western Maine and stop at Raymond’s Frozen Custard Gourmet Ice
cream. Just be warned, you may find
other ice cream lacking after you have had gourmet custard.
