The Story
The sweet scent of waffle cones and pure joy hangs in the air around Lago's, a vibrant, cash-only haven that's been a summertime tradition for generations. Kids with sticky fingers and grown-ups with nostalgic smiles line up patiently for generous scoops of homemade ice cream, classic sundaes, and fizzy floats. Under the warm New Hampshire sun, this retro parlor stop buzzes with the simple, delightful magic of a perfect ice cream afternoon.

One of my favorite ice cream shops in the state, by far. The prices are fair for the portion sizes, the staff are always super friendly but also quick, and the homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt is so creamy, delicious, and chock full of mix-ins. I usually order froyo and I'm always satisfied with it - my go-to is the coffee Heath bar. They also offer several vegan flavors, though they use a coconut base of which I'm not a big fan, so I'll stick to froyo. They have soft serve as well. Lots of picnic tables, plenty of parking, and an ATM if you forget to bring cash!

Worth its reputation! All flavors are made In-house ice with awesome flavors and perfect balance—not overly sweet, just done right. It’s always busy, but they run it super well—eight windows open when we went, and the lines moved quickly. Great service, fantastic product. Absolutely worth a visit!

First time visiting Lago's & it won't be my last. We stopped in when the ice cream craving struck & I left with a new favorite flavor - the Lemon Oreo! Their portion sizes are huge, and they really stuff the cones full so you get your moneys worth.

Delicious ice cream and lots of interesting flavors. Also, the portion sizes are very generous. A small cup is as big as a medium or large cup at other places. Will definitely go back.
