“My son was beyond stoked his name was on the free ice cream board today. Awesome ice cream plus we love seeing the animals and playing the lawn games :)“

“Creamy Delight soft serve ice cream, is REAL ice cream! The owner uses local, real milk that has 10% butterfat. No “fillers.” Her ice cream is simply the best soft serve ice cream I have ever had, and it’s worth the 30 minute drive from our house to buy her ice cream!!!! I humbly consider myself a soft serve ice cream connoisseur, having eaten ice cream from New York City to Boston and Vermont. 5 Stars for Creamy Delight! Absolutely gorgeous setting on Rte 47 in Hadley looking up at Skinner Mountain and the “Seven Sisters” mountains. No soft serve ice cream compares to Creamy Delight, and she’s open till November 2nd!!“

“I had Batch ice cream for the first time today. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast. I got the Almond Joy and would definitely order it again! Thanks!“

“My neighbor brought me to Rogers in Chicopee on Chicopee Street.
The line wasn't too long and in the back there is wood picnic tables you could sit on. It was probably at least eight of them. Two ice creams, small chocolate and vanilla twirl with whipped cream came to $23 a little expensive.
But it was good.
The staff was very patient friendly.
Parking is on the street whether in the front or on the side.
They seem to specialize in a ice creams that are called a boom. I have no idea what the cost is. It's got to be huge because the ice cream looks like it's a small megaphone build in a wafer type cone but the cone is huge. With the ice cream in the cone it was probably 7 in long and about 3 1/2 to 4 in tall at the highest point!!!
We saw a family of four sharing that one ice cream.“

“Very good selection of flavors, sundaes, cones, dishes and new recipes almost every day. We love to eat the hard and soft serve and watch the kids on the slide and swings.“

“My favorite frozen yogurt ever. I was heartbroken when they closed during the height the pandemic in 2020. I used to be a regular and I will be again. Yogurt 10/10, portion sizes 10/10, love the pints to go, 10/10 toppings and rotating flavors, 10/10 service the owner is working often and he is so nice and welcoming!!! Everyone else as well! They offer non dairy and GF options!!“

“Best gluten free and dairy free options! They even have a gluten free cone! I got black raspberry chocolate chip ♡“

“Gluten free options make this wonderful place even more accessible to our family. Definitely recommend a scrumptious stop and a chance to pet some cows.“

“Beautiful setting and great sundaes“

“Absolutely amazing! The ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The soft serve was soft and such a delicious vanilla flavor. The Atkins Cider sundae was a whole bowl and super good. The apple cider milkshake was so good. The chocolate peanut butter and s’mores campfire was out of this world! Please come here if you want legit creamy ice cream for a great price!“

“Great place to give a try!!!“

“honestly not worth it for 30 dollars and 3 hour wait time. I went this past weekend after 7 years away. And they still have a lot of the same animatronics and barely any "actors" every stop only had 1-2 "scare actors" if you would even call it that. There was just one guy that would stroll through the line with a light up toy chainsaw ( their busiest night ) lots of empty spots with no scare. 3 actors the whole hay ride. The only one trying was Chuckie honestly. need to update the animatronics , dirty and some deflated . Walked through the haunted house no one was there, only towards the end maybe 2 more actors. For the price and location- western ma deserves better.“

“This is located inside Yankee candle and it’s a very convenient location to get a snack after or while shopping at Yankee candle. We ordered salted caramel blondie, coconut seven layer bar, coffee coffee buzzbuzz and we were very satisfied. The creamy deliciousness of the ice cream hit ls the spot. Customer service is excellent!“

“There's a reason USA Today rated them one of the best places for ice cream in the country! Their recipes are so creative (and based on real chemistry too). It's like the owners are the Wonka of Ice Cream, always inventing new ways to make the best ice cream. I have been a life long Herrell's ice cream fan, and so glad they are expanding. My mother makes sure to come to Herrell's whenever she visits the area, and says the biggest downside to living in New York is... no Herrell's Ice Cream!“

“Love it! Looking forward to next ice cream season!“

“Mmm rico! Primera vez! Desde Puerto Rico!“

“My advice, should you even consider remodeling, is please don't do it until I'm gone, like dead. I need some things in my life to be constant, unchanged. You are that. Thanks.“

“An amazing variety of standard flavors and unique seasonal flavors. On top of that, it is kosher!“

“I went to the Williams burg General Store for the first time on Sunday. I fell in love ❤️ Its neat and clean. Every one of the employees are so very nice. If you are looking for a little something for anyone in your life you will find it here. Of course my favorite part was the bakery. The bread and Danish I purchased were fresh, soft and tasty. Thank you so much for being amazing. ❤️“

“I had the best breakfast sandwich today! The baked goods are phenomenal too.“

“Awesome food menu! The staff get to know all the “regulars” and they make you feel like family.“
