“We visited Acushnet Creamery last night and it was wonderful! My youngest has food allergies to peanuts and tree nuts and was able to enjoy an ice cream with all of us last night. The ice cream scooper that helped us was amazing- he got the ingredients list, used a fresh scoop and got my son a fresh cone. It’s truly the little things!!!“

“We had a deliciously good time this past Sunday. It was raining so we sat inside, the staff put some tables together for our party of 5. Throughout the time we were there we had great service and conversation with staff and other patrons.We ordered food and ice cream and nothing disappointed, it was all yummy, with good portions for the price! We will definitely be back!“

“Erickson’s ice cream is the best. I always buy the ice cream in quarts. The past 3 times, the quarts have not been packed tight, therefore I’m not getting a full quart. Ice cream is very expensive and I’m just asking to get my money’s worth.“

“I would recommend Tom & Jimmy’s on 44 Winthrop Street 100%!! My daughter has a tree nut allergy and every time I mention it they go out of their way to wash the utensils, hands, and put on gloves! I really appreciate how far they go for my little one! We have been turned down at other local ice cream places! But here never once and we go quite often!! I appreciate all the girls that work there and appreciate how safe they are! ❤️“

“The amazing ice cream and the excellent service. Bry is so welcoming and kind.“

“Went here with my family and it was great! It took a bit for the food to get here but it was SO yummy! I got a cheeseburger with bacon and I could tell it was nice and fresh. The burger buns were soft and the patties were flavorful! After we had our lunch, we got our ice cream. I got a Minnie Mouse Sundae and it was delicious! You can choose which ice cream flavor you want with it, and in my opinion I think oreo is the best! There were crunchy and sweet oreo chunks that were very good! And the view of the farm was VERY pretty, The farm was huge! It was nice enjoying a nice meal with a nice setting. I definitely recommend John George Farm and Ice Cream Shop. It's a perfect place to go for lunch and ice cream!“

And, the staff is friendly and always willing to answer questions.I even ordered a Funfetti cake from here for my brother’s birthday this past summer, and while on the pricier side, it was bigger than I expected and looked absolutely flawless. Was delicious too!“
