50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Braintree

“I’m so glad I discovered this ice cream shop! I tried the Campfire flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was fast and friendly, making for a great experience overall. If you are looking for a sweet treat, go pay them a visit this summer!“

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

“Very friendly staff and great ice cream.“

“This is the 3rd or 4th time my husband and I have come here and we absolutely love it. This time I decided to branch out and try something new. Thank you to the wonderful employee that recommended the strawberry cheesecake ice cream, and the delicious frappe it made :) if it wasn’t so far from where I live I’d be here at least once a week.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“delicious flavor and texture. very nice staff“

“Great customer service and delicious gelato. Clean and such a cute shop. So happy we stopped in!“

“I stopped in after dinner with my date to finally try this place out and we were blown away.

First off: the flavors are amazing. They are both well thought of combinations and absolutely high quality products. This is artisan level ice cream. It is very dense and rich. It kind of reminds me of Italian gelato in a way. I loved the cones as well. You can order a 1, 2, or 3 scoop in a cone or cup. Or cone kind of looking thing in a cup.

The staff here was super nice and friendly. Thank you for your professionalism! I love the atmosphere of the store and it was very modern, clean, and intriguing. I wanted a cone as soon as I walked in.

Price wise, be prepared for expensive ice cream. In my opinion it was worth the purchase for how exceptionally better it was than the vast majority of places I’ve tried around town.

Do yourself the favor and check it out. You will not regret it!“

“They have the best ice cream and the customer service is top tier“

“Great family-owned ice cream shop! Great management and staff! We enjoy partnering with them regularly!“

“We had my daughter’s bday party here and it was wonderful and very affordable! The staff is super attentive and friendly. They made the experience fun and so easy. Plus, the ice cream is absolutely delicious“

“For picky Kiddos…You all may not know you can request hard scoop, which is your traditional scoop of ice cream before it’s made with the machine the New Zealand way. The staff are soooo accommodating and friendly. Color changing spoons are a Bonus.“

“Best ice cream spot around hands down! Make sure to try the strawberry lemonade though. My goodness! 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

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

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

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

“Amazing ice cream & so many choices!!!🍦🍧🍨“

“What I love about Van Leeuwen is that it's the only Ice Cream store that's open late. After dinner in the Seaport with 3 friends we decided to go get Ice Cream. It was 10pm and Van was the only late night Ice Cream store in the Seaport. That was very helpful and we all order a triple scoop. It's also the best tasting ice cream in the neighborhood.“

“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“

“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 ..“

“Awesome ice cream - all the time“

“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 :(“

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

“The best ice cream in Massachusetts 😍😍😍“

“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😃😃😃“

“Kyo Matcha is a newly opened Matcha and other flavor dessert spot located near the HMart of Brookline.

I came here during the grand opening and other subsequent times, and the lines were out the door. There is outdoor seating, but it felt a little congested with how the line moved. Inside there is a few photo op areas but it's mainly indoor seating.

The service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly. The staff were understanding to any allergies and were accommodating with replacements on the menu.

The food was of decent quality, but could've been better. I tried the Matcha Crepe Layer Cake, the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Cap Cake, and Parfait with Matcha Ice Cream.

The Matcha Crepe Layer Cake was really good, very light and fluffy with a soft texture. The Brown Sugar Milk Cap cake was a little on the heavier side, with the sweetness of the boba being a bit overwhelming for me, but still enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the Matcha Parfait, however I saw in photos that there should be two layers of ice cream, one on the bottom and one on top. When I received mine, there was barely any on the bottom, instead it was packed with the toppings. This didn't really bother me but it did make it only toppings once I finished the layer of Matcha ice cream on top.

The prices here are a bit on the expensive side for desserts, but comparable to other matcha dessert places.“

“We had Ellie’s come to my aunt’s retirement party in the park today. They were fantastic — friendly and affordable! When I initially reached out with an inquiry, the email response was very prompt. I would highly recommend them and will book me again if I have another event.“

“Delicious ice cream and great customer service 🍦😋“

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

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“Love the ice cream choices- and the sundaes are awesome! Staff is always nice :) I live on the other side of the city, but it is worth the drive“

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

“I'm here in Weymouth for ages so hasn't this dairy Queen great staff family-owned professionally run the girls are very sweet and attentive I would highly recommend this place oh by the way the ice cream is delicious thank you Joe c“

“love visiting the Jamaica Plain store! Since the weather has been getting warmer, I've gone a few times this month and have to say the staff is amazing. They are very warm, friendly, patient, and have great insight on all the flavors and products. Because of them I found my favorite Fomu flavor. It was Rose Lavender but I was introduced to Lemon Meringue, tart lemon ice cream (coconut base), with graham cracker crust and yummy vegan marshmallow! It was so tasty I went back a second (and third) time to buy a point. Don't miss this flavor and the wonderful staff (surprisingly calm and chill even under pandemic pressure). Can't wait to see what next month's flavors are!“

“Working with you, Ralph Carico, has been an absolute blessing. Your signals and strategies have consistently yielded profitable trades, all without any withdrawal fees. 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.“

“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“

“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)!“

“The taste is very good, the service is very good“

“Stopped in for a smoothie and was immediately won over by the incredible art and was equally pleased with the Boost smoothie! Tasted great—peanut butter and banana is always a winner, it was liquid enough to go through the (nice wide) straw but not too thin. Will definitely be going back next time I’m in the area!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious candy 🍭 great service!!!“

“This outside service stand appeared clean and was fairly stocked. I had the ultimate cookie blizzard, which I enjoyed. The stand appears to be staffed by school-aged children with this as a 1st job opportunity. They were eager to assist and relatively quick. The location also appears to have ample parking with at least 3 service windows. I'd visit again.“

“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.“

“Ok people of the neighborhood there open ice cream to die for for 4.75 u can't beat it I got maple walnuts my hubby cookies dough and d that a small give this business out business so yummy for the kids and you and they have a great lunch dinner menu out of town in the area stop by it's getting hot and the ice cream cold 2 thumbs up I will be back 👍👍🥰“

“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!)“

“Ben & Jerry’s is a classic ice cream shop that is more about the experience and nostalgia than just grabbing a quick dessert. The shop has a fun and colorful atmosphere with the brand’s playful style throughout the space, making it a good stop while walking around the area. The setup feels casual and easygoing, whether you are stopping in for a cone, sundae, shake, or something to share.

The biggest highlight is obviously the ice cream selection. There are plenty of signature flavors that go beyond traditional options, with choices ranging from rich chocolate-based flavors to combinations with cookie dough, brownies, and other mix-ins. The Tonight Dough is one of the standout flavors, especially for anyone who enjoys a more indulgent ice cream with different textures in every bite. The shop also offers waffle cones, sundaes, and shakes, so there are several ways to enjoy the same flavors.

The portions are filling, and the menu has enough variety depending on whether you want something simple or a more over-the-top dessert. The waffle cones add a nice touch compared to a standard cup, and the sundaes are a good option if you want toppings and extra sweetness. It is also a convenient place to stop if you are with a group since everyone can choose a different flavor.

Service was quick and friendly during my visit, making the ordering process simple even when there were multiple customers. The main thing to keep in mind is that the shop can get busy during peak times, and certain locations may have different serving policies or size options. Seating can also be limited, so it works best as a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend a long time.

Overall, Ben & Jerry’s remains a reliable choice for ice cream with a fun atmosphere, creative flavors, and plenty of dessert options. It is a familiar brand, but the variety of flavors and playful experience still make it worth stopping by when you are craving something sweet.“

“Here’s a polished review you could post:

I stopped by Daddy’s Dairy on Thursday while visiting Randolph from the UK on a work trip, and it was such a great experience.

I was greeted by three lovely young ladies who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I asked them for their favourite flavours, and they were more than happy to share their recommendations and help me decide. The selection of hard ice cream was huge, with so many tempting options to choose from.

I ended up getting one scoop of banana and one scoop of strawberry cheesecake, and both were absolutely delicious. The banana was packed with flavour, and the strawberry cheesecake was creamy with the perfect balance of strawberry and cheesecake pieces.

Fantastic customer service, an amazing selection, and excellent ice cream. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“
