There’s something about a summer evening visit to a good old-fashioned ice cream parlor — the kind where the flavors are on a chalkboard on the wall, and you stand in line in the parking lot for your fresh scoops, then sit in the twilight to enjoy them. It’s nostalgic, it’s comforting — and it’s the season in a nutshell. There’s perhaps no better place in New Hampshire to have this experience than Hayward’s in Nashua — a Granite State classic that has stood the test of time.

Hayward's Ice Cream has now been in the same family for 3 generations — it's the kind of business that makes New Hampshire so special. It's also located in a beautiful spot perfect for enjoying a cone outside on a summer evening.

All 60 plus flavors of hard serve, soft serve, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and sorbet are on site, and you'll find all sorts of fun options you won't see elsewhere — like peanut butter Oreo. The hard part of visiting, of course, is choosing what to order!

Whether your heart desires chocolate, fruit, or something loaded with cookie dough or chocolate chips, there's a flavor calling your name.

The ice cream is plenty tasty to stand on its own, but it would be a shame to not take advantage of the wide array of toppings available. After all, what goes better together than brownies and ice cream? Not much, and here you can enjoy them together!
