Our Story

A Little Shop with a Big Heart

Big Cones Ice Cream was born from a simple belief: the best ice cream comes from real ingredients, patient craft, and a genuine love for the people you serve. Nestled on Main Street in the quiet charm of Wells River, we've been turning milk, cream, and seasonal fruit into something worth slowing down for.

Every batch is churned in-house, every topping is prepared with care, and every guest is treated like a neighbor — because that's exactly who you are.
