“The mini peanut butter wizard is the perfect size. The atmosphere of this place is just adorable and very old timey and I love it. I Ate half my ice cream when I was there so I wouldn’t make a mess of my car. It was so good….seriously amazing stuff.“
“I'm totally ashamed that I haven't written a review for Zumi's yet. It's really a great place. Literally coffee and community. I've never experienced such an open and inviting and patient coffee place. They will go overboard to make your coffee hit exactly what you need it to. And if it's too late for coffee, they have ice cream.There's often live music and it's a great vibe.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, which is great since the school and the creative Co-op are neighbors.“
“LOVED the blueberryport flavor!! It was very blueberry and very unique. It wasn't very busy when I went, even in the summer, maybe because it's a little further from the main street? I dont know, but I thought it was the best. I got the smallest size and even that was a very large portion.“
“I got an unusually good chai latte with almond milk, and my girlfriend was impressed with her flat white with oat milk. This place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and one single occupancy bathroom. I did not scrutinize the snack case, but the bars and whatnot looked vegan. I wouldn't be surprised if they had vegan ice cream in the ice cream case, but I didn't ask.“
“Yum! Big portions -- the single scoop is about twice that. And so many flavors to choose from! Ended up with Grapenut and Extreme Chocolate (which has a chocolate sauce mixed in). Both were fantastic. Good amount of outdoor seating available and plenty of parking.“
“Hatters tea shoppe has a relaxing and calm atmosphere along with a very welcoming vibe. I ordered the hot chocolate and my partner got a small hot coffee, both were very delicious. We both were in love with the atmosphere and the Alice in Wounderland theme of the shop.If your in Georgetown,ma I Highly recommend to stop by Hatters tea shoppe. Will definitely come back again.“
“Can't believe I've lived in Andover since 1983 and have never been here. The adventure began with the aroma of chocolate when you walk in - amazing. I did a quick jog through the candy store and vowed to take my granddaughters here during their next visit. Next ordered lunch: chicken BLT which was so fresh. Bacon was crispy and they remembered to not add guacamole. Next came the sundae: their list in-house of flavors that are made on site doesn't match the online list (butter crunch ) but the substituted butter pecan was delicious. My only complaint of the day was that the rich, flavorful butterscotch sauce was room temp and not at all heated. All staff were friendly and attentive. Everything felt nostalgic which was so nice. I'll be back.“
“I was impressed on how good the breakfast was. Also treated myself to a muffin, which was delicious!Vegetarian options: There are some options. Was kinda in a rush, so I didn't have time to notice.Dietary restrictions: There are definitely some options. Depends on your restrictionsParking: Huge parking lotKid-friendliness: Super friendly kid atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: I believe it's all on ground level.“

“I went to La Dolce Vita on Friday for my mom's birthday and it was definitely worth the 2 hour drive. I'm originally from Connecticut, I saw them on Instagram and the atmosphere looked so nice and fun I decided to take my mother. From the moment you walk in there's lots of smiles everyone is very friendly and super attentive. They attended us very quickly and when they saw that there was no seating they quickly helped us got us chairs and clean the table off for us they even went as far as helping us with pictures. The atmosphere is great I also loved how they play Christian music in the background making the atmosphere child friendly and also peaceful. Everyone there is so nice and friendly I can't wait to go back again. If you do stop by try their pistachio macaroons they are delicious!“
“Had 3 baby cows in the pen today... 2 goats in another pen who where enjoying a nap and watching me and the pen with the rooster and his female chicken friends...and I got a baby cow to come over to me and licked my hand, then mooed at me...I love it there..food/sandwich shop next door to ice cream shop.Kid-friendliness: Many families with kids are always around.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surfaces...wide paths and room around tables outside...“
“DownRiver sells ice cream as well as nondairy options for those with an intolerance. The ice cream is rich and creamy and stays true to its flavoring. And the sorbets are very refreshing and smooth, the only problem i have with the ice cream is not with the dessert itself but with the portions. Even the kiddie cone is giant which is great if you want to save a little money, but is an issue when your kid can't finish it all and you end up wasting quite a but of money. The portions also make it harder to eat it all before it starts melting everywhere's. Other than that everything else is great. The service is as good as it gets, in my time going there they have never messed up an order and are kind to their customers. Some of the workers do need you to repeat your order once or twice which I find better than not getting your order right. The seating areas are all outdoors and its nice to enjoy during the summer, but can also be awful due to all the mosquitoes there are near the marsh. All together I give DownRiver 4 stars as I have deducted 1/2 a star from the gigantic portions and 1/2 a star for the mosquito prone area. Overall I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“
“I stopped by The Cookie Monstah in Beverly after work. The Grand Opening for this store was advertised for Monday December 5, 2022 from 11am to 9pm on their website, Instagram, Twitter and on Facebook. I was thrilled to see their postings since I've enjoyed their handmade wicked good ice cream cookie sandwiches in Danvers and Burlington. However, when I arrived here in Beverly around 4:50, the store was still not open, but there was a few staff inside with the doors still locked. I decided to hang out at Panera Bread in the same plaza. Anyhow, The Cookie Monstah offers about 12 kinds of fresh baked cookies, milk, 24 flavors of hard scoop ice cream/sorbets, plus their handmade wicked good sandwiches or build your own (choose any 2 cookies and any ice cream) or their specialty ice cream cookie sandwiches including The Blueberry Buckle, Slim Shady, Salty Dog, Cup-o-Joe, Dough Boy, Green Monstah, Candy Shoppe, and others, $7 plus tax (in 2022). Gluten free and vegan options available. After checking The Cookie Monstah Facebook page and about to head over to the Danvers location, they posted that Beverly was now open (around 5:40 pm), yassss!!!! I moseyed over and walked in and the staff was in training with cookies made and ice cream ready. They were very gracious and offered me a Wicked Good Sandwich of my choice and I went with my favorite, The Blueberry Buckle, 2 Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Blueberry Pie Ice Cream. This ice cream sandwich was so good which I enjoyed with my black coffee from Panera. They are open normal business hours starting on December 6, 2022.“
“The ice cream is amazing I cannot believe it is so low sugar low fat. Highly recommend the salted caramel flavor. Service is great too you can taste the various flavors before buying. I highly recommend this place and it’s so close to Patton Park - the perfect spot to bring the kids after playing!“
“Solid place for ice cream that just opened for the season. They were more than happy to give us a sample of one of the flavors we were interested in. They had most of the flavors when we visited at the beginning of April. I got a kiddie cookie dough and thought it was very well made. The ice cream was super creamy and the cookie dough was soft (I find that a lot of cookie dough in ice cream is too hard). The sizes run on the large side so be ready to share!“
“Staff was very polite and very quick in giving us our product very satisfied with this particular DQ.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room on the side parking lot for kids to eat their ice cream, and then run it off..Wheelchair accessibility: Everything there is ground level. No stairs and 2 handicap parking spots“

They handled the rush amazingly! I was extremely impressed!!This location is the Best of the Best!!I will be back again soon !!Thank you“
“Jay is always a delight. Thanks for all of the suggestions on things to do in the area from fairs to Salem Halloween :) Yummy chocolates and ice cream too! Soooo glad you will have winter hours - can't wait to come back for more goodies,. So worth the drive!“
“Amazing flavors! I had a coffee, chocolate and Goats milk caramel!! so decadent !Another had Cardamom, Saffron & Pistachio, delicate, and floral, so good! Excellent homemade ice cream,with unusual flavors, but also the regular flavors. A must try this summer!“
