The small city of Nashua, New Hampshire boasts some first-rate ice cream. There are three top-shelf ice cream businesses in town, and each presents a different approach to the favorite frozen treat. Which will you choose?
First, maybe you want a high-quality, time-tested ice cream stand, something traditional. Family-owned Hayward’s Homemade Ice Cream has been handing out ice cream cones in Nashua since 1940. It’s regarded as one of the best ice cream stands in New Hampshire.

You’ll find your favorite flavors, but why not try something unusual? Appalachian Trail is espresso ice cream with pieces of Heath bar and fudge. Kangamangus is vanilla with chocolate-covered pretzels and swirls of caramel. You can’t go wrong with any choice, or the steamed hot dogs!
