50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Boxford

“Best ice cream, and hot fudge! but high prices limit our trips to Native Red Rasberry. Have been a fan since childhood (decades ago), but as my sister said “I can’t justify spending that much on a cone”“

“Have always loved Holy Cow since I was a little girl.....the best icecream“

“Delicious! Our favorite spot.“

“Stumbled upon this place by accident. Traveling through the area on vacation and happened to stop for sandwiches a few shops down. Had a hankering for something sweet and was pleased that this place was only a few stops down. The amount of flavors truly makes me want to stay and just try them all. Can confirm the almond joy in a sugar cone and the banana in a waffle cone are both delicious. Banana tastes like actual banana and the almond joy did not skimp on the mix ins.“

“The assortment of flavors that Richardson's Ice Cream is quite extensive and exceptionally delicious, coupled with the fact that it's always freshly made and priced fairly. The staff is warmly and graciously welcoming, with ample parking space available.“

“We ordered a cake for Wednesday the 8th. The Portuguese flag 🇵🇹 it looked amazing, thank you so much 😊 we only get all our cakes from Mad Maggie’s delicious 😋“

“I heard about this place a few years back and always find an excuse to travel back no matter how far from me. Everything is delicious here. I got the PB wizard today and a grilled cheese. I could live off either one. Jeff is really nice guy who wants to see the customer enjoy what they’re getting. The proof is in the interactions and well, the scoops!!! Thank you as always!!!“

“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 🥰❤️“

“Incredibly-delicious family-owned for more than a century homemade ice cream made on a machine that is over 100 years old! They also have an antique popcorn machine. Would drive for hours to come here. It’s the last one at the end of the strip so don’t get confused. 11 am to 8:30 pm but they’re often open later so try anyway if you’re late. So worth it!“

“Love this shop. It's a fun mix of desserts and unique artwork. Lots of items from local makers or artists, and then also an easy place right downtown Salem to grab an ice tea or cookie. Also run by awesome humans.“

“Was looking for a new pizza place to try, Nella’s is great! Generous with the toppings. They don’t skimp. Solid undercarriage and perfect proportions of sauce and cheese. Delicious. Must try!“

“So I was born and raised in Salem until I was 14. My wife and I live in Stoughton/Canton line south of Boston. We order Hobbs Popcorn and have it shipped to us when I can’t get to the Willows. Obviously we are fanatics about what they make and will probably go to the grave craving their popcorn. Just a heads up Hobbs. The last shipment we received on August 20 of this year was a disappointment. The only one in decades. It was good and also bad throughout being slightly burnt. Just a heads up so you are aware.“

“I go to DQ a few times a week. There is this one young lady, Haven who is so nice and respectful. I am disabled and every time I go there, she either brings the cake to my car, or always opens the door for me. Haven is the kind of person you want representing your business“

“Ari's is the place!!!! Never a bad meal & the prices are awesome!!! Ari is one of the nicest guys in the world!!!“

We loved looking at all the pumpkins, doing the corn maze (tricky, but not frustrating), eating warm cider donuts, and ice cream, visiting with the cutest baby cows, all topped off with the very best hayride we've ever been on!! All the staff were super kind and it was all well worth it! Highly recommend and we'll be getting our pumpkins there next year for sure.“

“Taro milk tea with black boba!!! Awesome flavor and even better costumer service! My new go to place for boba tea!!“

“Amazing Açaí bowl as well“

“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“

“Fast and Efficient Service. Tastey Fresh Menu. Will definitely be back again and again.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“The guy at the cashier who took my order was very nice and the girl who served us was also very nice. My daughter’s ice cream was served well because it was simple just vanilla but mine was a sundae with brownie bites the ratio was very off I got like a couple of spoons of ice cream the rest was fudge and a lot of brownie bits it was too sweet to finish and barely any ice cream and the price was ok but could be more affordable.“

“Great service amazing staff“

“Fantastic first experience! The quality of the food and the care that went into the flavor and presentation translated from the open wood fired kitchen to the plate to the palate. I was feeling a bit run down when I arrived but I left fully charged and completely satisfied 💯“
