50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Brighton

“I had such a lovely experience here. I had tiramisu with black raspberry Oreo ice cream and a matcha latte. Everything was amazing. The tiramisu was perfectly soft and creamy without being too heavy, and the ice cream had such a rich, unique flavor.
They even gave me a beautiful red carnation for Women’s Day, which made the whole experience feel extra special 🌺🌸 I’ll definitely be back!“

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!!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

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

“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!“

We got 3 soft serves and one cyclone (slush and ice cream) Pistachio soft serve was a fam fav! We will be back next time we’re in the mood for a cold treat!“

“This is a wonderful place. All the people are so nice and friendly. We are regulars there and most of the employees know our special order. Can’t say enough about the owner. Do yourself a favor and go for food and/or ice cream!“

“My bowl comes out right every time. I love the açaí and the seven free toppings 🤩🤩. I believe this is a small, family owned business: they are always attentive to your order, they will even call you to confirm if you want a specific topping or not! It’s apparent that they work hard and they care about their customers. Great, consistent customer service and bowls. I am so happy they exist.“

“Came in on a busy Friday night. The team was working hard and still taking care of their guest well. If you’re a chocolate lover, the chocolate mouse cheesecake is incredible. They also have delicious milkshakes! Could not recommend enough.“

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

“Awesome ice cream - all the time“

“i got richie,s slush for the first time this year, I was so excited!, but then i noticed i think richie's slush changed their recipe for their slush. it just dont taste the same. I dont know if it was do to covid? But I do know it dont taste the same. It tastes more like a sherbet or sorbet. but its definitely not slush. so dispointed! #richie'slush“

“We recently ordered a large quantity of hot fudge for our sons wedding in Delaware because Rancs has the best hot fudge anywhere!! It was a huge success! We can’t thank the owner Joe enough. He was able to get us that large order and package it for our drive to Delaware! Thank you Joe for everything!! You’re the best!!!!“

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.“

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

“Yesterday I was in to get a birthday cake and was inspired by an act of kindness. A young woman with some cognitive disabilities came in asking some unusual questions. The owner, who was working the shop by himself at the time, was so patient with her and kind. He treated her with respect and even gave her a free drink. These sorts of moments need to be recognized!“

“so many fabulous flavors of Gelato to pick from!“

“That tres leches is so yummy!!!! Who ever put that together deserves a standing ovation because let me say WOW!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am definitely going back and I’m bringing all my friends & family to share this deliciousness with. The service is great too. Super kind & patient.“

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.“

“This place is great!! The staff is awesome and always soooo kind. Never had a bad experience here and never will. This place is reasonably priced, moves the line quick, and most importantly has THE best Richardson’s ice cream. My favorite is the peanut butter oreo! Not just dog friendly but dog lovers! The girl who took my order loved my dog and even told me that they can have soft serve vanilla! Now me and my dog can get a tasty treat from this amazing shop!“

“Toscanini's has been my favorite ice cream spot for over 20 years. Even as I've moved around and lived in other cities, I always make a point to visit whenever I'm back in the Boston area. But a recent experience cemented my loyalty for life.

On Presidents' Day, our family showed up around 5 pm, not realizing the shop was closed for the holiday. When we couldn't open the door, we started knocking, thinking it was just stuck. Gus, the owner, came out and let us know they were closed for the day, but then asked us what we were looking for. We told him we were hoping to grab a pint, and he told us to wait just a moment. A few minutes later, he came back with a big bag full of different pints and let us walk away with two of them, suggesting we could come back and pay another day when they were actually open (or perhaps he didn't care!). We came back and paid two weeks later.

Thanks, Gus. You're amazing!“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“What a great place to visit!Tons of different candies and lots of ice cream flavors to choose from!“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“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.“

“delicious banana splits and fruit dessert deliciosas banana splits y postres de frutas“

“My favorite place for milkshakes-tasty and large portions. My current recipe: blend of malted chocolate and malted vanilla, blend of lavender and Turkish Sumac. My next try is blend of black sesame and avocado! Peach is also great🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Turtle ice cream in chocolate shell“

“We recently ordered a large quantity of hot fudge for our sons wedding in Delaware because Rancs has the best hot fudge anywhere!! It was a huge success! We can’t thank the owner Joe enough. He was able to get us that large order and package it for our drive to Delaware! Thank you Joe for everything!! You’re the best!!!!“

“Finally, wonderful, premium ice cream creations offered in good proportions. None of the artisanal-ice-cream-served-in-a-thimble nonsense here, but whatever size you want, from a taste to gut-busting with excellent ingredients and toppings.

It is pricey, but worth it.“

“A Sweet Surprise Along the Way

We stopped by just in passing, on our way to visit a university — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!

The ice cream was delicious, with just the right balance of flavor — not overly sweet like many others. It was refreshing and satisfying.

What truly made the experience special was Mónica’s service. She was empathetic, kind, and patient — qualities that are becoming rare these days and that we deeply appreciated.

The place itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, adding to the charm of the visit.

All in all, a wonderful little discovery. Thank you for such a delightful stop!“

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

“I have been hooked on Richie's Italian Ice. 10oz..with these great flavors cherry, watermelon, strawberry, lemon lime, raspberry, orange cream, root beer. Sour apple.. Etc.

So I run to other all market basket stores around to find different flavors.. the Product is Super hit this season and I bet it will go fast this summer.. Thanks Richie..Italian Ices..a happy 68 year old customer..“

“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!“

“is the best ever ice crem a had in my life“

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

“Was visiting friends when i came upon wally’s

What really sets this place apart is the love you can taste in every scoop. You can tell the people behind this shop genuinely care

about the quality of their ingredients, about their customers, and about making something truly special in their community.
The vibe is warm, fun, and welcoming. Honestly, it’s the kind of local gem you want to keep secret but just can’t stop yourself from telling everyone about. Do yourself a favor: get there, get two scoops (you’ll thank yourself), and become a regular. Wally’s Wicked Good Ice Cream has absolutely earned a permanent spot on my must-visit list. 🍦“
