50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Burlington

“good ice cream friendly service reasonable price.“

“This is not a traditional ice cream shop, but a flavored soft serve shop. Admittedly, they have a lot of flavor combinations.

Chocolate flavor was ok, and for a soft serve "milkshake" it was good. Service and atmosphere....it's in a good court....so not really there for service and atmosphere.“

“Literally Love at First Bite!! Great service great flavors...Will be serving the Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream Pie for Thanksgiving!!“

“Great experience here for sure! Tried shake shack for the first time this afternoon, gentlemen at the front counter was extremely friendly and had a great personality while keeping a sense of humor and professionalism at the same time. Definitely will be back. Food was great as well!“

“Awesome customer service! They were able to come through with an order with only a few days notice. Delivery was on time, matched our location and was one less thing we had to stress about on Game Day. Thank you!“

“The frozen yogurt is GREAT but the owner, Ali, is one of a kind and is so funny, kind and personable, I would go there just to see him, alone!“

“The guy who runs it is super nice and positive and always has the best ice cream. There is so much variety and he is always well stocked. I love getting ice cream here! The essence that the flavors of the ice cream intermingling on my tongue brings everyone great satisfaction. Highly recommend!“

“Since they opened in the early 1980s (could any ice cream be better than Steve's I wondered back then?), they have been hands downs serving the creamiest and tastiest ice cream in the Boston area. My go-to flavors are any of the ones with hazelnut (nocciola & gianduja -- which either they are now calling nutella or they have added yet another hazelnut flavor -- and all of their chocolates, especially Belgian chocolate, the occasional orange-chocolate, and Mexican chocolate). There's nothing like that to be had like these in most of the rest of the local ice cream shops. If only I could get there more often I would branch out more 'cause there are still plenty of enticing flavors I haven't tried yet. It's a pricey treat, especially since I can recall 1980s ice cream prices! But if I want to treat myself, this is the spot. I gave them one star off for service because the folks behind the counter just aren't as cheerful and friendly as a generation ago. A sign or our times perhaps.“

“So happy they finally opened!! The matcha donut is my favorite, must try!!“

“The BEST most authentic, clean tasting, yummy froyo“

“This is hands down the best pistachio and strawberry ice cream I’ve ever tasted! The flavors are so rich and authentic, with a perfect balance of sweetness that truly brings out the taste of fresh pistachios and ripe strawberries. The cone was incredible – crisp, buttery, and freshly made, making it the ideal complement to the creamy ice cream. Every bite was a delight, and I honestly can’t praise it enough. Without a doubt, this is my favorite ice cream spot in Boston, and I can’t wait to come back!“

“Very generous amount! The topping options are so abundant and I love the fresh fruits - especially the mango! The owner is very patient and friendly, explaining to us different brands of Brazilian cookies. Overall, the store is very down to earth and it really reminds me of my trip in Brazil.“

“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“

“It would've been better if the employees took control of the situation with the customers. When I got there, there was only one line and it would split off when a window was open. Next thing you know new people showed up and started making their own lines. Took way too long between the moment I got in line to when I actually got served.“

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!“

“The focus, diligence, and chemistry between the team working tonight was unmatched. Their ice cream knowledge and customer service skills were top tier. The main man himself, Anthony, has regularly been super helpful whenever I come in. He remembers specifics and caters to exactly what I am looking for. Megan’s quick thinking helped me execute a perfect ice cream choice, and Lexie provided help for our large ice cream order. Meletharb is an absolute 10/10 and my favorite ice cream in the Commonwealth.“

“I recommend Rancatores because the ice cream is so good! and the service is amazing.“

“Delicious! Pumpkin maple "harvest" cones are phenomenal. Kiddie cones are a true kiddie size -- you won't ruin your dinner but plenty to satisfy, and at $2.66 we got 3 cones and tipped for $11.

The picnic table area is clean and many tables are well-shaded. 1st timers but we'll be back!“

“I would definitely recommend a visit here. I tried creamy yummy sugar free ice cream that was not icy or taste like chemicals. I also had a great normal sugar but super sweet blackberry ice cream. I wish I has a little more blackberry flavor. I also had a scoop of ginger ice cream which was unfortunately a little icy and the ginger flavor was a touch muted, but still tasty. Staff let me sample each flavor and I got a cute little bowl so I could walk and eat it on the nice hot July4th day. The atmosphere- it is a place you grab and go and it is small, a narrow shop you might miss if driving a bit too fast. They have pints for take out and are willing to make you one in house if they don't have the flavor in the freezer. For about $8 a nice place to stop in. Definitely worth it.“

“In town from Boise Idaho. Haven't been to Bedford Farms since I was 10 years old (now 41) the ice cream is amazing! I wasn't aware I could get a cover for my cup of ice cream so that was a fun drive home to Woburn but it's part of the fun!“

“10/10. Best sweet shop EVER! Lots of variety and their ice cream is AMAZING!!!! Gold stars. A+. Highly recommend!!!“

“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!“

“I recommend Rancatores because the ice cream is so good! and the service is amazing.“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“This tiny coffeehouse is next to a newly renovated playground. They serve coffee, ice cream, muffins, scones, and more. They play fun music and have some tables with umbrellas. They are a wonderful addition to our neighborhood.“

“Didn’t realize the brisket sandwich I ordered was actually going to be beets, but it was still fabulous!

Love the outdoor area, especially for early evening dinner with kids.

They have sippy cups available if you ask.

Kid-friendliness: Sippy cups available upon request, not crowded at early dinner time“

“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!“

“They have issues at times keeping their supply thick enough, it's expensive like everything else, and their reliance on teens comes with some of the expected issues (they all seem largely to be great, though.)

Still, we keep coming back regardless because they are just that damn good!

PS: If you grew up so far south that Mexico just feels like another state and Boston actually feels like another country, try their new mango drink.“

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

“Delicious and fun, as usual.“

“We love Mac’s, the ice cream is delicious and the service is outstanding. The staff here make our daughter feel like a celebrity when she comes, they are so kind to us! We look forward to many memories here.“

“They have ice cream for dogs too!“

“Cool place to go great customer service an good ice cream“

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

“We were visiting from out-of-state, and wanted to verify if they carried Richie’s Slush. I messaged and they were very responsive and even told me where to find parking. We enjoyed some delicious slush today! Thank you, CB Scoops!“

“honestly im writing this review based off the store bought italian ices but i do plan on visiting this summer! I LOVE the italian ice especially the cherry i literally have one sometimes two a day and i look forward to visiting this coming up summer!! Dont change a thing Richies!!!!“

“Breakers is my preferred ice cream shop in Woburn even though I have another shop much closer. Ordering is efficient, orders are fulfilled accurately and quickly, and employees resolve any issues quickly and respectfully. Flavors are posted legibly and the variety of flavors is excellent. There is a parking lot, which is nice, and indoor seating and ordering which is helpful in the winter.“

“Great ice cream and friendly people“

“Love this place! The ice cream at HoneyComb Creamy is amazing, with fantastic seasonal flavors that keep things fresh. The brownie sundae is a must-try! But the best part is the service—whoever is at the counter - always greets you with a smile, making you feel welcome. Great spot to grab some ice cream!“

“From the delicious coffee to the beautiful desserts, you will be delighted by the goodies at Lulu’s Lunchbox! Try the falafel plate too - savory & delicious. Even better, you can find gluten free AND vegan treats!“

“Daily Scoop serves Richardson ice cream and has a full menu of all the typical desserts. The servers are extremely friendly and patient. They have fun with patrons and each other so the atmosphere is charming and inviting. This is now our favorite sundae stop.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Frosty Ice Cream, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The truck itself was brightly decorated and instantly brought a smile to my face. The menu had a fantastic variety of flavors and treats, from classic cones and sundaes to unique and creative options.

I opted for a double scoop of their homemade vanilla double cone and chocolate sprinkle (+dipped in chocolate sauce) ice-cream. The ice cream was incredibly creamy and rich, with the perfect balance of sweetness. It had a delightful, authentic flavor, and was brimming with chocolate.

The service was exceptional too. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, making the experience even more enjoyable. They were patient while I made my choice and were able to accommodate my unique request.

Overall, this ice-cream truck exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or looking to try something new, I highly recommend stopping by for a treat. It's a delightful experience that’s sure to bring joy to anyone.“

“Came for dessert and was pleasantly surprised by how many options there were. Cookies were good but I wouldn’t recommend anyone try to eat these with their hands. Ice cream to cookie ratio was 2:1 but still delicious. Very kind staff and overall great time“

“Great flavors and an abundance of toppings! Always a fun experience“

“Stopped by this quaint little coffee shop the morning I was leaving Boston. It had a nice vibe to it. And such a variety! Ice cream. Pastries that looked amazing. Expensive variety of different copies espresso‘s ect. The music was and atmosphere made you feel like you were in Italy. Nice little outside area to sit and enjoy the beautiful street going ons. Will go back to try again to try more of their wares.“

“Where else can you get a movie ticket, a good craft beer, and a bag of popcorn, for $20? The facilities are good, the staff is friendly, and they have a great selection of movies.“

“All I can really say is… “Holy Cow!!!” I feel like there is a very bad pun there! This place has the best ice cream I have had in possibly my entire life. My family tried cookie dough, pistachio, and the campfire s’mores. I tried the two latter flavors. Best pistachio on the planet and the s’mores literally tasted like CAMPFIRE s’mores!!! We will only go here from this point forward whenever we crave ice cream and, I assure you, this is absolutely crave worthy!!!“

“Good ice cream! We Support local businesses!“

“We just made our second visit, as we live in Western New York. We first came in 2019 and my husband was able to experience ice cream for the first time in 20 years. Thank you so much for all of your time and efforts into making your ice cream so delicious and so worth the trip. We look forward to visiting every time we are in the area.“
