2 Best Restaurants in Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire

Have a seat in this cheerful bakery's sunny seating nooks or out on the back patio, while you savor an egg-cheddar croissant, house-made granola, a Brie-fig-apple baguette, or one of the delectable pastries or cakes. Favorite treats include maple-pumpkin pie, seasonal fruit tarts, raspberry scones, and praline sticky buns.

Enjoy a scoop or two of rich homemade ice cream at this 10th-generation dairy farm a couple of miles from Lake Sunapee. Interesting flavors like hazelnut, lemon cookie, and maple pecan keep regulars coming back for more, but the barnyard with adorable goats, bunnies, and other critters is almost as big a draw. Although the scoop shop is open only seasonally, you can drop by the solar-powered farmstand year-round.
