Shain's of Maine Ice Cream

Shain's, in the otherwise nondescript town of Sanford, south of Portland, strives for the appropriate throwback atmosphere: red-and-white old-time soda shop banquettes; vintage newspaper ads underneath glass tabletops. Take a break with a bowl of Maine Survivor—vanilla with hard fudge swirl, Reese's peanut-butter cups, Spanish peanuts, and chocolate-chip cookies.

Flavor to Try: Maine Survivor—vanilla with hard fudge swirl, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Spanish peanuts, and chocolate-chip cookies—is a sugar rush beyond compare.
