Balthazar's Ice Shack

Easily and quickly becoming one of New Hampshire's BEST hidden gems.
Balthazars Ice Shack offers a large variety of ice-cream that is top-notch and amazing cook-to-order food. With plenty of options there's a little something for everyone. Order to go or find a comfy spot to sit in the shade, this outdoor venue is perfect for stopping by to get a bite before or after hitting the lake for a swim.

The owners are as nice as can be. The food is fantastic! It's our 3x a week go to in the summer with the grandchildren. Or a sweet in the middle meeting spot with our adult kids. Hands down the best establishment to hit out area in 15 years.

Absolutely perfect little place with tons of great food and a spot to warm up right off the trail. Highly-recommend. Also have some DAMN GOOD poutine!

Great ice cream! What a gem to find right down the road from camp! Loved the "dirty water" hot fudge sundae! The kids had the Loki special! Go try it!

good food, good prices, beautiful spot to eat right next to the river.

The Shack is a hidden gem. The service and scenery are simply amazing not to mention the fresh homemade food. Always made to order with lots of delicious options from their food to their array of ice cream flavors, you can’t go wrong. Great stop for any time of the year!!

I thought they were only open in the winter so I could ride my snowmobile to their snack shack. Boy I'm glad that I was wrong. I will be a regular in the summer now also. Good portions, good prices.

What a amazing place....
The food was delicious, the workers were very pleasant, and the sitting area's are priceless !!! I could sit in the river to cool off or next to the fire to warm up !!!!
Can't wait to stop by next time I'm in the area.

We love the food and ice cream. My husband loves the poutine fries. Such a cute place and location with friendly staff.

We love going to Balthazar’s ice shack. Best place to get food and ice cream !! Troy Karyn and Bella are the best . Always smiling and in happy moods no matter how busy they are.

This was the best quick bite to eat I've gotten in a long time! We were in Claremont prepping for a wedding and needed a breather and a bite to eat, a quick 20 minute trip brought us to this lovely little outdoor oasis these folks created on their property. It is a small limited menu, but everything we tried was perfectly cooked and delicious! Corn chowder, sliders (I had mine with the jalapeno sauce) and poutine all fantastic!

Great ice cream, friendly staff and absolutely adorable place to hang out and enjoy a sweet treat or bite to eat.

This is a small place with 3 large outdoor tables just outside the food window + more seating by a nearby rivulet. Nice folks and well prepared fast food + ice cream options.
Yes, its open in the winter, leastways it was on a cold March Sunday. This place is in a beautiful forested rural setting.
I gave it a 5* rating because it beats comparable mom & pop shops hands down and it has a pretty good selection of food items to purchase.

Awesome place to bring your family, relaxing atmosphere, great ice cream, great food, definitely recommend if you want a unique ice cream. Also the owners and the customer service is top notch 👌🏽

They offer a lot for a small place. Food is good, ice cream is great. Large portions. I prefer the waffle cone.

Great find in Goshen. Dine here with seating along or in the stream during the warmer days.

Some great food options, delicious chili and ice cream.

The owners are awesome, very personable and enjoy sharing their story.

Check it out you wont be disappointed.

Great place for food and dessert. Affordable for the whole family!
The bubbles are a bonus on the cooler days :)
Very kind staff!!

Great ice cream, great location!!

Great food and ice cream. Very reasonable prices. Well worth it. Staff is really nice.

Wonderful, charming place with great food and friendly folks. Lots of outdoor seating including chairs and benches along the bank of a small river. Rustic, idyllic. Don't miss it if you're in the area. Clearly a labor of love for the owners.
