50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Braintree

“So many options and the ice cream is smooth and creamy, but not overly sweet. Some ice creams are made for licking off of a cone. Others seem to be better for eating with a spoon. The consistency of Daddy’s falls nicely in between. The staff are friendly and patient a d the value is terrific. There is a certain chain in Boston that shall remain nameless, but does not all match up against Daddy’s for quality and overall value. And I love the Braintree-themed varieties of sprinkle colors.“

“Very friendly staff and great ice cream.“

“I loved my milkshake I got the caramel nana for the first time.“

“I’m a huge bubble tea drinker and I love to try all different kinds of places. Let me tell you, Sweet Sip did not disappoint. While there I tried three drinks: the Assam black tea with honey boba, the rose milk tea (no topping), and the Vietnamese iced coffee. All three were delicious. The Assam was a great milk tea for anyone who likes it simple and nostalgic. Nice and sweet, but not too sweet. The rose milk tea was fragrant and delicious as well. In terms of the boba, they use honey boba, which is a nice choice; this gives them a good taste, which adds nicely to the teas. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also a nice surprise. If you’ve ever had the real deal form a Vietnamese restaurant, then you would know that the coffee flavor can be strong and extra bitter. For someone who loves coffee, but is a wimp with the bitterness, this iced coffee was just the right balance. It gets even better as your ice melts. Lastly. I tried some of their Hong Kong cakes, specifically the pandan flavored cake, and the mochi filling. It was heavenly… Crisp, sweet, and flavorful. I look forward to trying the other flavors. I don’t go to Boston too often, but I would definitely come back to try more drinks at Sweet Sip the next time I’m visiting.“

“Ron’s is truly a hidden jewel, the ice cream is amazing and you’re going to love the bowling alley.“

“Absolutely love this place and it’s staff! The ice cream is delicious and there is a huge selection of flavors. The ice cream sandwiches are to die for. They are made with homemade cookies, so delicious. Maggie is crushing it! The owner Matthew is so kind and friendly and openly invites suggestions! **Allergy friends, they keep all nuts separate from everything else in the back. We were very pleased. We’ve already made two trips this week!!“

“Delicious homemade ice cream.“

“First time there and we just got in love with this place“

“best ice cream around. hands down. this is the only place that I will go eat ice cream at in the entire area“

“Got there frozen yogurt chocolate peanut butter with whipped cream & cherry so good definitely recommend them!!“

“Awesome ice cream - all the time“

“The cookie sandwiches are out of control good. It was hard to choose but I’m glad I can’t get here easily or often because I would want to eat one every day. There was a small food tour in the day I went by, and I asked if it was a vegan food tour. It wasn’t; the ice cream is just so good that self-declared Omni “foodies” want it too!“

“I went to Michele's to buy too ice creams totaling 16 dollars and something cents plus a 3 dollar tip ..I have my little shitzoo with me my sandy was thirsty because it's hot and muggy out side so I asked the girl if I could have a small cup of ice water for my dog and she tells the price of the water was 2.50 I said for tap water and she saids yes we're low on ice so I said just give me a small cup of tap water without ice for my dog and I will pay for the cup ..the manager turns around and saids no we can't do that... so I ask him why your not dog friendly or you don't like dogs he then tells me he has no tap water ..what a joke...then he said his brother is the manager and he needs to follow the rules so I said to him your going to lose a customer and get a bad review on yelp over a small cup of tap water and he said yes so here we are ....he just lost a customer over tap water I am a dog lover my dog goes everywhere with me and I never had a problem going to any other place for tap water for my dog so this brings me to one conclusion that they don't care for animals and any place that don't like animals I don't want anything to do with so all you animal lovers don't go to Michele's ice cream because there are so many icecream places around the surrounding areas that are pet friendly...shame on you guys ..“

“Absolutely the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I am not generally a big ice cream eater, but I have found myself having a bowl of the chocolate cherry brownie ice cream while its snowing outside!“

“Huge variety of bubble teas, rolled ice creams and frozen drinks. I had a Mangonada with a tamarind stick and it DELICIOUS!!“

“I love the blizzards, but I’m ready to stop going here. There’s an issue every time. I always order a Reese’s blizzard with choc ice cream, PB sauce and Oreos. most times they give me vanilla ice cream., which I hate, but I eat it because I don’t like to complain. Tonight I received a blizzard cup full of chocolate ice cream with some PB CUP crumbs on top. Absolutely nothing was in the blizzard. I’m tired of paying $7 for something that isn’t what I want. All I wanted was a treat after an awful day.“

“Super leckeres Joghurteis in einer riesigen Auswahl, dazu ein riesiges Angebot an Toppings. Super lecker :)“

“It's delicious, the quality of the product is like No other.“

“I have been going to JP Licks for years. I was telling the young lady who was serving us. That I use to come to JP Lick when I was in high school. And JP Licks was the only place that made me smile when I was happy, sad , mad or even upset. And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“Very nice customer service A+ THE young lady that got my coffee ice cream asked if I wanted any toppings usually elsewhere you would have to ask .good job dd it was 94 out she had a lot of customers at the x was very impressed I'll b back for sure 😁“

“This place is often the go to for sweets or just celebrating a hot summer day in our house. We adore their Halloween event and have gone to it for years now. They are very community oriented and it shows. The mini golf course is a little dated but perfectly fun-ctional. My daughter enjoys puttering around in it and it's a lovely family activity. Watch out for yellow jackets :(“

“The best icecream � for the hot days in Boston ��“

“Cute little location in the heart of Fenway Park. I knew going in that I wanted to try the Marshmallow Sky flavor that's exclusive to Scoop Shops, so I can't speak to the variety of flavors available. I wanted to grab a pint, but apparently this shop doesn't do pints. Regardless, I enjoyed my ice cream and the employee was very friendly. Ben & Jerry's is a great addition to the neighborhood (but not to my wallet)!“

“My fiancé and I have been ordering here for over a year. It is the best pizza in quincy and the surrounding area. (and we’ve tried quite a few pizza spots) Fresh and authentic tasting and the staff are good people. Plus they’re open until 11! I’d recommend 10/10“

“Still great 40 years after first going there! This is the OG flavored waffle cone and mix-ins place before it was even a thing. Quality ice cream, solidly good flavor, nice staff. Don't be fooled by the fancy gelato and Asian ice cream shops... Have the real deal legit quality ice cream here.“

“The cold brew floats are my new go to dessert. Highly recommended.“

“Really cute decor and great customer service...cheapest fro yo around“

“This is the first time I have been in this store was cozy and amazing. The owner is reliable, honest and operates with integrity. I would like to recommend this store to anyone who is looking for fast food and craving ice cream or needs anything. This store is so convenient and in the nice Boston neighborhood.“

“Literally the best ice cream I’ve ever put in my mouth! And if you don’t have a spoon in your hotel room the end of your toothbrush works almost as well! (Photo n comments!)“

I can't express enough gratitude, Ralph, and I wholeheartedly recommend your legitimate and trustworthy services to others. Don't hesitate to add Ralph Carico to your trading network.“

“Delicious candy 🍭 great service!!!“

“I have never ordered a sundae before, never finished the entire thing with a smile, and never felt like I needed to go to an ice cream shop weekly until I came here. It's a good thing it's juuust far enough away from my house to not entice me daily.

EVERYTHING is vegan! And I was so impressed with the flavors. They didn't make up for any lacks with more sugar either. I felt satisfied and like the flavor I got was well-balanced, with it being birthday cake, a flavor I never get for fear of it being weird or overly sweet. It was perfect. Their lemon flavor I tried was amazing too.

I got the cookie sundae type with the brownie cookies. amazing. So excited to go back. It IS pricey though.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“Passing through Dorchester last year, I discovered a hidden gem. I’ve been to Love Health Café three times, and every visit has been a pleasure so far. The team here is consistently warm and customer service oriented—they always listen and ensure my order is exactly as requested. As someone who pays close attention to food safety and cleanliness (cutting bananas with bare hands is a NO-NO for me and trying to save on the cost of gloves while navigating food and money is a definite NO NO, so please don’t change!).

I’m pleased to see handwashing and clean practices in action; quality and care are evident throughout my experience. I was intentional about waiting to do this review, and I’m always willing to update as needed.

Love Health Café offers “Mmmm 😋😋” dairy-free options, and the food truly stands out—freshly made, flavorful, and so far, satisfying. The price points are very fair compared to other chains, especially considering everything is prepared to order. Meeting the founders was a wonderful bonus (featured in the pictures); they’re an engaging couple committed to health and good service.

I look forward to coming back. Here’s a new tagline for them: “Where Love and Health Blend—especially in every smoothie and açai bowl!” As of now, I highly recommend!“

“In reference to Ben and Gerry’s, located at the Prudential Center,, Boston, MA, a young employee named Maggie went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. I took my children and grandson for ice cream on Thursday, July 17, in the afternoon.
Aside from Maggie’s professionalism and beautiful courtesy in serving us (often a rare combination in the service industry) I watched her deal with an incredibly rude customer with such graciousness and self control. The customer was completely out of line and I was so impressed with how Maggie de-escalated the situation and kept her professional composure, especially for such a young woman. Maggie is a credit to the company and I would highly recommend this establishment based on the character of this young woman. I hope she is recognized for her invaluable contribution to Ben and Gerry’s, Prudential Center, Boston.“

“Soooo many choices! How do you even know what to pick? Help! Lol. Really great. I love the fact that they have so many choices because they have cherry, they have chocolate chip, they have cheesecake, they have cherry chip, they have cherry cheesecake, so do you see where I am going? It's very smart. Have so much more to try.

Only issue and reason for 4 stars is the menu is very large and the print is very small. It is hard for someone with vision issues.“

“Had my 1st time order of their Hawaiian Grilled Cheese; YUMS! I was taken back from their use of BBQ sauce, makes the sandwich super sweet, but honestly, I'd order it again!“

“This is a place near our Boston office. When I’m there I try to find new places to try and this one didn’t let me down.

The panini was killer. I had the grilled chicken and it was great. Everything seemed fresh including the bread which maybe is made there? 5/5

They also have Richardson ice cream and I’m always down for that.

It’s a small place so don’t go to sit and eat. But the staff is friendly. Good selection. 5/5“

“Love coming to get the vegan selections“

“Ice cream was good, but not many flavors were offered and after tax it was like $8 for a kids cone with sprinkles- just a bit pricey.

They only accept cash and venmo which is a bit inconvenient, but it is clearly posted all over so it's not like they don't warn you until it's time to pay. Staff is nice and quick.“
