We are a take out with outdoor seating, operating daily from April through October. The Polar Treat is a Down East icon, also known as the Dairy Joy or the A-Frame. A stopping place for locals and tourists, the establishment has been here 75 years! 2024 marks the 75th Anniversary of Polar Treat, Perry, Maine! John & Mary MacDonald began the business and kept it running for 50 years, sold it to Jack and Bernadette Maloney in 2001, and only the third owners - Michelle and Judson Curtis - have owned and operated the establishment since 2019. The Polar Treat offers soft serve chocolate, vanilla, twist, and a special flavor of the week, a variety of hard serve flavors, shakes, flurries, sundaes, floats, dips, and so much more! The Polar Treat also sells food, expanding its menu each year. In 2024, we added a huge selection of the freshest seafood you can get Down East, cooked to perfection! Other food items include burgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings, chicken, and many appetizer options. Check our page for our weekly specials in addition to our regular menu. Call in orders are always welcome! We have added a screened in, indoor eating area and have several picnic tables are available for outdoor seating, shaded with umbrellas. Feel free to bring a blanket to enjoy your treats on, too! Hours adjust each year and the business operates from April to October or November, depending on weather, closed annually during the Maine winter. For questions, comments, or anything else, we'd love for you to stop by and see us, message us, or give us a call. Thanks for the support of our business - we appreciate each and every one of the Polar Treat customers!
