Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Boston (and suburbs)
Start New ThreadI had dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Portsmouth a few weekends ago. For dessert we had ginger ice cream & green tea ice cream. Both were absolutely incredible. We were told it was from Shane's of Maine. I have been searching in vain to try and find where I can buy some, or order on line to no avail. Anybody know?

I went to Co op expressly to buy shane's 2 weeks ago to make an icecream cake and couldn't find it there. I don't know if they're carrying it anymore.

It was sold at Cold Rush in Melrose, which may be closed- I'm not clear if it's closed for good or just seasonally.

The website says "Now Available in Mass", so I'd send them an email or call them and ask: http://www.shainsofmaine.com/forms/contact.htm
Or - wait until March 30th and take a road trip - http://www.icecreamdugout.com/

Give the Huron ave Formaggio a call. I know they carry the Shepard's Gate goat's milk gelato and I believe that last fall they had Shane's, but haven't been in recently. There was one other place I saw it a while back and thought about the board, but can't quite remember.

As you can see from the posts below, it's "Shain's of Maine", so it might be easier to find now.
It doesn't appear you can order online, but the distributor can probably help you track it down. Let us know if you find it!

I think I remember seeing it as J. Pace in Saugus. It was about 3-4 months ago, but I think that's where I saw it.

I buy it at Pace's in Saugus too. The Maine Blueberry is really good.

J Pace also has a smaller store in Boston near MA General Hospital in that large condo complex that's between the hospital and the Banknorth Boston Garden(the one that has the signs "If you lived here you'd be home now). I don't go to that one so don't know if they have it there too.

You can find a wide selection of Shane's of Maine at the Chilly Cow in Arlington Center, Arlington, MA (the 77 bus from Harvard Sq. will get you there).

Most small (non-national chain) markets in southern NH, ME. Here is the company address, write them and ask where their customers are located.

I recently fell in love with this ice cream. Had the ginger and I was hooked. I see this post is 2 years old, but...any recent sightings in Boston proper?

They have a website with a phone number and email address.

Chilly Cow's ice cream in Arlington is made by Shain's of Maine.

I had never heard of Shain's on Maine before, but got it this weekend at the Harvest Co-op in JP. Delicious as billed.

interestingly enough, Harvest Co-op lists both Chilly Cow and Shain's of Main on their product list.

I've been buying Chilly Cow's amazing frozen custard in pints at Pace's in Saugus. I didn't know it was made by Shain's but they are both really good.
