Our Heritage

A tradition
built on
patience.

Uncle Joel's didn't begin with a grand plan — it began with a conviction that the best ice cream couldn't be rushed. Each batch is mixed by hand, aged properly, and churned slowly until it reaches the exact consistency that makes people stop and savor.

Standing on the Old Orchard Beach boardwalk for decades, we've watched families return generation after generation. The faces change, but the ritual remains: choose your flavor, watch the scoop fall, and step into a moment that feels entirely yours.

The Selection

Crafted with
intention

From classic vanilla bean to seasonal specials, every flavor is developed with the same care — no shortcuts, no compromises.

Classic vanilla ice cream

Classics

Vanilla Bean

Real Madagascar vanilla beans, slow-churned to a velvety finish that honors the original.

Rich chocolate ice cream

Classics

Belgian Chocolate

Double-couverted for depth. Dense, dark, and impossibly smooth on the palate.

Fresh strawberry ice cream

Seasonal

Strawberry Reserve

Made with locally sourced berries at peak ripeness. A summer that tastes like July.

Creamy frozen yogurt

Yogurt

Greek Yogurt

Thick, tangy, and remarkably creamy. Our yogurt is cultured for 24 hours for depth of flavor.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream

Signature

Mint Chip

Fresh mint infused into the base, folded with hand-chopped dark chocolate shards.

Fruit sorbet selection

Dairy-Free

Sorbet Series

Pure fruit, pure ice. Vibrant, refreshing, and entirely free of dairy — yet never lacking.

Ask about our rotating seasonal selections — they change with the coast.
