“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!“

“visited the Salem Willows location for the first time the other night, as a person with allergies I was thrilled to be able to enjoy the Vegan cookies and creme with GF Oreos 😍 delicious! And the staff was amazing, TJ answered all my allergy questions with a smile, really helpful, and Olivia gave us gorgeous cups of ice cream that were perfectly scooped, not always the case when you get ice cream on a hot day, so thank you to you both 🥰❤️“

“my all time favorite ice cream place. their ice cream tastes very creamy. also bought their whole milk and very delicious to the taste. very different from the grocery store milk. will definitely go back again. highly recommended for all to come and visit. you will miss a lot if you don't go there :-)“

“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'm updating my new favorite here. Orange sherbert freeze. It's so refreshing. They combine sherbert, seltzer water, and syrup. I have them add a pump of raspberry syrup. It's so good!!! Best drink on a hot day. I also love their banana split sooo yummy. All their ice cream/full menu is amazing. Plus, open all year round.

Been going here for years. Excellens ice cream parlor. Recent visit in August 2021 got the rainbow sherbet. You could taste each flavor. Was great!“

“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!“

“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 delicious candy and great sandwiches.“

“good ice cream friendly service reasonable price.“

“Hands down the best M&M ice cream I’ve ever had! I don’t live local anymore but when I’m in town I bring a cooler and buy quarts to go home with me. It’s that good.“

“Best ice cream, and hot fudge! but high prices limit our trips to Native Red Rasberry. Have been a fan since childhood (decades ago), but as my sister said “I can’t justify spending that much on a cone”“

“Ice cream cakes are a favorite in our household for birthdays, and this is By far the best ice cream cake! We will never order from anywhere else!“

“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.“

“I am beyond grateful for the young man that answered my desperate phone call after a 3rd party delivery service application experienced a technical error.
The result was not receiving our entire order, and my 7 year old daughter, who is home sick, was missing her frappe that I had promised.
Although I never caught this employee's name, who was super kind and professional on the phone, within 25 minutes, he personally drove to our home to deliver the missing item!
I am beyond appreciative and will highly recommend The Daily Scoop to anyone who wants great quality ice cream and equally impressive service!

Thank you all 🙏“

“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.“

“Small little place so the only place to eat is outdoors. Fine for the summer, but it's nice to stop and pick up a little ice cream cone for Dilly bar in the colder months. I love the DQ app. This visit was to redeem a free treat from doing their survey from previous visit where I paid only $0.99 at another location for a cone with a coupon.“

“The establishment offers a warm, family-friendly environment and outstanding service. It is always a pleasure to visit and enjoy the diverse menu, which caters to every occasion. Thanks Luigi’s Family“

“Old fashioned fast food! Delicious!“

“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.“
