36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Methuen

“The gelato and sorbet is excellent and delish. The environment and ambience is not as great. The shop is clean but just a few little tables are there to sit and space is very tight. But it’s worth the experience and the servings are generous!“

“Great to work with! They stepped up last minute to come to our event and did a great job. Would definitely recommend!“

“Absolutely love findeisens! It’s our favorite place to get ice cream!“

“After asking on my community page the best place to get a custom ice cream cake all leads went to jay gees. I got 2 of my daughter’s recent birthday cakes and let me tell you!!!! Everyone LOVED them. They decorated both cakes beautifully. I will say both cake orders were very different. One very gothic and one very light and magical. Both Times when I submitted my purchase online I received a conformation email from the manager within 1 busy day. I will definitely continue to go back every year now. I highly recommend them!

“I got 2 Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecakes & a Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake. (I always share with my parents.) Omg! PHENOMENAL!!! I honestly can't tell you the last time I had such an incredible piece of chocolate cake. I'd post a pic of it, but I destroyed that thing as soon as I got home. So, here's a half of the 2nd cheesecake. I feel like there should've been a wee bit more panache, but it was superb nonetheless!“

“Brought a small concern to the owner’s attention and they handled it with grace ❤️ thank you so much Shane!“

“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!“

“We ordered a cake for Wednesday the 8th. The Portuguese flag 🇵🇹 it looked amazing, thank you so much 😊 we only get all our cakes from Mad Maggie’s delicious 😋“

“I've been going to shaw farm when I can for a few years now. They have such an amazing bakery, the shakes are incredible at the ice cream stand, and they have such a good wide variety of local food products. Some of my personal favorites are the PB cookies, yogurt pretzels, Asiago bagles, peach jam (yes I put the jam on the bagles its phenomenal), and the banana milk. They have so many goodies year round and they never disappoint. If you're in town totally check them out it's a must.“

“Country Creamery & Coffee House has officially become our go to spot the past few months and honestly, nothing else even compares anymore. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is something special. The shop has that warm and welcoming feel! The staff are always so friendly, patient, and excited to share what’s new. But the real magic is in soft serve flavors! They’re unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else, and you can tell they put so much creativity and care into every batch. And the best part? No artificial colorings! Everything tastes pure, fresh, and real! We just tried their new gingerbread and eggnog soft serve, and WOW. It was unbelievably creamy with the perfect balance of warm spices and cozy holiday sweetness. Truly next-level so good that I literally had to sit down and write this review immediately! At this point, Country Creamery & Coffee House isn’t just a favorite it’s a staple in our routine. We don’t bother going anywhere else for ice cream because nothing comes close to the quality, creativity, and care they put into everything! If you want unforgettable flavors, genuine ingredients, and a place that feels so welcoming every time you visit, this is the place. They are simply the best! 🍦❤️“

“Best ice cream in Essex County!“

“First time trying this place. Ice cream/frozen yogurt was delicious! I got my favorite Purple cow. Portions are large. Prices are good too!“

“It’s hard to find a good cup of coffee sometimes, just tried Lulu’s and was very pleased, it was bold flavored, but not too strong. Breakfast croissant was delicious, with plenty of scrambled eggs and cheese.“

“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!)“

“This is my family's ice cream spot. We have been going here for years, the staff are always friendly and do a great job with whatever ice creams we are ordering. The price is typical for an ice cream shop and they don't skimp on the toppings. If you order a topping, they put an appropriate amount of that topping on.“

“Lovely view of the field out back while enjoying the wonderful ice cream that they get from Richardson's Diary in Middleton. If you're lucky (like we were!), a brazen little bunny might join you by the picnic tables to feast on all the clover popping up! So cute!“

“If your kid is under 40 inches you get a kids size ice cream FREE. No $4 ice cream like other places where 1/2 ends up melting, 1/4 all over them and they only eat 1/4. Home made too. Delish!“

“ribs are most excellent! Boyfriend had tacos and really enjoyed them. And prices are pretty fair! I'll definitely be back; there's more stuff to try!“

“Love this place. Very friendly people and a lot closer than Richardson’s.“

“Delicious ice cream, friendly people at the counter, convenient parking and lots of indoor/outdoor seating. A family favorite!!!“

“By far my favorite ice cream place ever!!!! And the staff are the nicest too. There are so many flavors and the soft serve is delish.“

“Ice cream is delicious and cooling on a hot summer day!“

“Best Dairy Queen Experience Ever!!

I don’t know what Dairy Queen is putting in their blizzards but, I think they’ve also sprinkled some magic into their employees. There was a young, tall, brown-haired guy working last night who deserves an award. Not only did he serve my Blizzard upside down with confidence, but he also made the whole experience top-tier with his friendly attitude and quick service.

If Dairy Queen had a Hall of Fame, this guy would be in it. Give him a raise, or at least unlimited dipped cones for life! 10/10 will be returning soon!“

“They sent us a tree all the way to Utah, it was packaged carefully, not a broken branch and just as fresh as if we picked it up in Tewksbury.“

“Ari's is the place!!!! Never a bad meal & the prices are awesome!!! Ari is one of the nicest guys in the world!!!“

“My family and I like this place. They have really good ice cream for really good prices but the parking situation makes it annoying to come here. There's a tiny parking lot and not enough picnic tables. This place is always busy which is great, but they really have to do something about parking and seating. Just a thought 🙂 awesome place otherwise.“

“We had a graduation party and this was the perfect ending . Delicious ice cream and cookies . Highly recommend“

“I’ve ordered from Yasai Bowl in Dracut a few times now and it’s always a great experience. The bowls are fresh, loaded with toppings, and super flavorful. I love how customizable everything is, and the staff is always welcoming and efficient. One of my favorite spots for a quick, healthy bite in the area!“

“Great bakery...amazing pastry and coffee! Highly recommended!“

“Super fun fall activity with kids!!! We loved looking at all the pumpkins, doing the corn maze (tricky, but not frustrating), eating warm cider donuts, and ice cream, visiting with the cutest baby cows, all topped off with the very best hayride we've ever been on!! All the staff were super kind and it was all well worth it! Highly recommend and we'll be getting our pumpkins there next year for sure.“

“Had a delicious BLT! And a super-friendly waitress too.... 👍🙂“

“we hired Michelle's Ice cream for our annual family picnic at Seven Hills. Michelle and her staff were absolutely amazing! So many different kinds of ice cream novelties!! Everyone loved how friendly and efficient they were. We now plan to use them every year as it was a huge hit! Thanks again Michelle for helping to make our picnic awesome!!“

“This place is truly an amazing hole in the wall spot that I’ve passed by 1000 times and never even noticed but I’m glad I did today because the vibes here are so warm and welcoming as soon as you walk in It’s so aesthetically pleasing, and the food is just as good. Top notch at that, this bowl is bussinnnnn“
