Our Story

A Mechanic Falls tradition, one scoop at a time.

Betheny's Ice Cream has been a fixture on Elm Street for generations — a place where neighbors become friends over a shared cone and where the smell of fresh-baked goods drifts out to the sidewalk.

We make every batch by hand, right here in the shop. No shortcuts, no industrial shortcuts — just cream, sugar, eggs, and the kind of patience that turns simple ingredients into something worth stopping for.

Whether you're grabbing a quick treat after running errands or planning a custom cake for a celebration, we treat every order the same: with the care we'd want for our own family.
