“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“

Ice Cream Gallery Ice Cream Shop • $
39 Rocky Neck Ave, Gloucester - 5.93 miles

“This place is adorable, and beautifully situated to enjoy ice cream on your gallery stroll, or while watching the harbor, but the selection is small, portions are tiny, and prices are almost 20% higher than other local shops selling the same ice cream.On the other hand, those other shops aren't snuggled into to the galleries and studios of the Neck. And the teenage staff is helpful and kind.“
