26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Beverly

“excellent ice cream, great service!“

“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“

“visited the Salem Willows location for the first time the other night, as a person with allergies I was thrilled to be able to enjoy the Vegan cookies and creme with GF Oreos 😍 delicious! And the staff was amazing, TJ answered all my allergy questions with a smile, really helpful, and Olivia gave us gorgeous cups of ice cream that were perfectly scooped, not always the case when you get ice cream on a hot day, so thank you to you both 🥰❤️“
