50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Braintree

“A throw back to the local family-owned ice cream shop we grew up with! Has excellent standard flavor options as well as fun rotating selections- makes choosing a flavor a welcome problem! Lots of fun promotions too. Staff is always super friendly and knows how to move along a line of happy customers! Braintree is lucky to have a spot like this! Keep up the great work, Foleys!“

“Very friendly staff and great ice cream.“

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

“Good ice cream. I love the cake options — main reason I keep coming back. It is a bit pricey compared to other shops in the area (i.e., $7.50 for a kiddie ice cream with 1 topping, $60 for a medium ice cream cake with limited customization). I also hate that they ask if I want to leave a tip every time they scan my card.“

“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“

“This was a fantastic ice cream spot.

They had a bunch of different, unique favors, and the guy working there was super helpful in letting us try out a bunch of different flavors and then telling us his favorites.

I ended up with the honeycomb, some kind of coffee flavor (I forget the name) and the apple cinnamon one. All three flavors were excellent, but I think the honeycomb was the best.

Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for ice cream in the area!“

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

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

“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 ..“

“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.“

“The best ice cream in Massachusetts 😍😍😍“

“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.“

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

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

“This is my favorite dairy queen in the state because they still have shredded coconut. The chain as a whole stopped carrying it, but this location still has it. This means they can still make the old tropical blizzards (Hawaiian too) that I enjoyed as a child. I'm in nostalgic bliss!!! I will drive miles just come here!! Keep up the good work management!“

“Delicious ice cream and great customer service 🍦😋“

“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!“

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“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.“

“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 :(“

“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.“

“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)!“

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

“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😃😃😃“

“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.“

“Walking into this shop is like entering a colorful world of pure happiness and sweet treats. I absolutely loved looking through all the creative and chunky flavors with those famous names, and getting a freshly made waffle cone made the whole place smell amazing. The ice cream is incredibly rich and creamy, and I really like that they care about using good ingredients and supporting local communities. It’s a fun, upbeat spot where the staff is always happy to let you try a few samples until you find your perfect scoop. Ben & Jerry’s is the best place to go when you want a treat that’s both delicious and full of personality.“

“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!)“

“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 😁“

“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.“

“This is a GREAT Dairy Queen location! Customer service has always been pleasant and the woman who helped me out today was nice! I used to come here a lot but now I frequent once in a while and refuse to go to any other location for Dairy Queen (treats only). Today I tried The Ultimate Cookie Blizzard and I enjoy how Dairy Queen is always coming up with new flavors! - Juvi 508 (YouTuber)“

“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.“

“Tucked just off the steady rhythm of Commonwealth Avenue, Kyo Matcha doesn’t announce itself loudly. It doesn’t need to. The space is small, almost deliberately so—light wood, clean lines, a quiet hum of conversation. It feels less like a destination and more like a pause. The kind of place you slip into between obligations, not to indulge extravagantly, but to recalibrate.

The dessert arrives without theatrics: a swirl of matcha and milk soft serve, crowned and partially engulfed by glossy black boba. But what looks simple quickly turns layered, almost architectural in its contrasts. The soft serve itself is restrained—this is not the aggressively sweet, artificial matcha that dominates so many menus. The green tea carries a gentle bitterness, clean and slightly grassy, grounded by the mellow sweetness of the milk base. It’s balanced, deliberate, and, importantly, adult.

Then there’s the boba. Still warm.

That detail changes everything.

The pearls sit beneath and along the side of the ice cream, their heat slowly bleeding into the cold cream, creating a shifting boundary between temperatures. Each bite becomes unstable in the best way: cold turns lukewarm, creamy meets elastic chew, sweetness deepens and then recedes. The boba itself is soft without collapsing, with just enough resistance to remind you it was cooked moments ago. It’s not a topping—it’s a counterpoint.

What makes this dessert work is not novelty, but tension. Temperature against temperature. Bitterness against sugar. Airy softness against dense chew. Nothing dominates; everything negotiates.

In a city where dessert often leans toward excess—more sugar, more toppings, more spectacle—Kyo Matcha feels almost corrective. It strips things back, focuses on texture, on flavor integrity, on proportion. The portion isn’t oversized. The space isn’t loud. And that restraint is precisely the point.

It’s the kind of place you go when you don’t want to be overwhelmed—just quietly reminded that even something as simple as ice cream and tea can still surprise you, if done with care.“

“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.“

“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!“
