10 Best Ice Cream Shops in Salem

“Holy Cow in Gloucester has the friendliest workers! Sophia, Caleb and Tucker - the best! The ice cream is to die for - simply fabulous!!“

“No refunds if hair is found in ice cream, which somehow happens more than you think.“

“Incredibly-delicious family-owned for more than a century homemade ice cream made on a machine that is over 100 years old! They also have an antique popcorn machine. Would drive for hours to come here. It’s the last one at the end of the strip so don’t get confused. 11 am to 8:30 pm but they’re often open later so try anyway if you’re late. So worth it!“

“Cute shop with the sweetest person running the shop! Very knowledgable about the items offered (where they came from, who created them, uses, etc.). Worth a stop!“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“So apparently this place has been in business for over 1000 years /s. But after trying it, I think it will be around for at least 1000 more. Me and my wife have made this a weekly staple (the LARGE bag) of popcorn is the only one that will do! Just call ahead first as the hours are sometimes different than what’s posted online.“

“Taro milk tea with black boba!!! Awesome flavor and even better costumer service! My new go to place for boba tea!!“

“This is a great niche place in a historic building with the best donuts! We had the s'more, peanut butter cup and caramel donuts and they were delicious, fresh and just what we craved after walking all morning. The gentleman behind the counter was patient and kind, service with a smile, so rare these days. We plan to visit this spring and this is a definite must visit!“

“Had the totally turtle on a home made waffle cone. Very very good and a good price too!! Awesome ice cream“
