Our Story

Ivy's Ice Cream opened its doors in the summer of 2024 at the picturesque Weirs Beach, nestled between the retro arcade by the serene waterside of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Ivy’s is named after the owners’ teenage daughter Ivy who inspires her family in more ways than one. From her championship volleyball skills, to her love of her family and particularly her little brother, Ivy’s sweetness is definitely the kind that you want filling your cup, or cone!

The ice cream shop is owned and operated by Jen Slater, culinary dessert professional, and Ryan Slater, a Navy Veteran whose aviation tech skills keep the Weirs Beach arcade running as well. Ryan can be seen day to day between the arcade and ice cream shop, but you’ll most likely have your ice cream freshly scooped by Ryan’s dessert-enhancing mom (Mimi, as we call her) or Ivy herself, possibly assisted by the rest of the volleyball team.

We look forward to serving you throughout the summer and hope you come by soon for something sweet!
