Ice Cream Shops near Southborough

“My experience at the Cold Stone Creamery was outstanding. I walk in the door, I feel as though I’m in another world. High ceilings, extremely comfortable dining space, and most importantly, food that one can only described as breathtaking. I was greeted by the staff with open arms. Their great selection of delectable treats gave me the opportunity and pleasure of mixing and matching flavours, desserts, and drinks. God had a message to send by giving us such a gracious establishment. I wish all small businesses could be as beautiful and welcoming as this.“

“We came here on a whim on Sunday morning and we loved it! I surprised my son with bringing him miniature golfing, as this was his first time. The staff here are amazingly kind and accommodating that my son wants to keep coming back. The ice cream here is creamy and yummy, and the other younger golf patrons (and their parents) were respectful and give space to each other while we go through the rounds. Also, the plants here are priced reasonably and there's a variety of plants to choose from. We will be back!“

“Love love love this place, Amazing flavors of ice cream, smoothies, sorbet, frozen yogurt. Generous portions and their service is really good. Owner and the staff are very friendly. I ordered an ice cream cake for my daughter's birthday party, the biggest size and none of it was left. Couple kids in the party had allergies and the owner was very kind to be mindful while preparing the cake and also suggested dairy and egg free substitute for the kids. I always have great experience with them and my kids always, always leave this place very happy.“

“We ordered a custom coconut butter cream cake with cranberry jam, frosted cranberries and shaved coconut on top. Cake was absolutely AMAZING! Not one crumb leftover. Not your run of the mill grocery store cake, it was soo much better! Worth every penny!Communication with owner was also excellent! Very quick to respond to questions and happy to make a last minute addition of sugared cranberries on top.We will be back for our next special order cake and would highly recommend them to anyone! A hidden gem in Ashland for sure!“

“This place brought back so many fond memories for me.This place is frozen in time, the parking lot is still bumpy, the staff served the best ice cream with a big smile.This was a great time to kick back and enjoy ice cream and the other visitors.Great job guys??“

“I went the other day with my boss and we both love this place, the lady at the register was super friendly, good prices, flavor was fantastic, good portions and the place itself is beautiful love the decoration, we are definitely going back for some gelatos “

“A friend brought over a pint each of walnut and chocolate chip gelato for dessert the other night, and I was blown away. Both were so creamy and flavorful, without tasting too sweet.I then found out all their gelatos are lactose free, so no upset stomach after eating a bunch. Looking forward to trying some of their other flavors.“

“Hop Yo is my favorite local froyo shop! I love how close by and convenient it is, there really aren’t a lot of specifically frozen yogurt shops around anymore. I also love that they have açaí bowls! However I’d like more size options for the açaí bowls as well as shakes. Froyo flavors are delicious, but I’d like more rotating flavors. Always seems to be the same flavors when I go. Great assortment of toppings and even some healthier options like granola, coconut, boba, etc. which is very much appreciated. All employees are very friendly and helpful with questions, and even include a cute little handwritten card with every doordash order! All in all a fantastic local business with great work ethic, highly recommend.“

“Great little icecream spot. The staff was really nice and the process of how they make the icecream is cool. The icecream itself is delicious and they have a bunch of flavors, combinations and toppings you can choose from. We got cake batter with heath bar and the Bernoulli sensation with cinnamon icecream, caramel topping and twix bars. They were great!“

“Bones loves the Pup Cup (vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, milk bone treats and an edible bowl!!)Overall, solid place with a great vibe and they keep updating the interior to make it more kid-friendly and welcoming to all... and outdoor seating!“

“When the Summer hits, this is the place to go!! So many delicious ice cream options, from the most popular ones to those flavors that you can't find anywhere else. I love the maple pecan ice cream and also the double chocolate chip one. My wife loves the cookie dough flavor as well as coconut. They have outside sitting areas around the store in where you can sit and relax enjoying your ice cream, weather permitting!“

“After three years of having traipsed by this place, looking over and thinking 'Someday...' I finally decided that tonight was it. I was...in a /mood,/ to put it succinctly. Dagnabbit, I wanted some ice cream.So I stepped on into the brightly lit but welcoming little shop. It was clean, pristine, and calm--but I could practically feel the exuberant energy of its patrons and staff that it would have on any given summer afternoon, even on this quiet evening. I made my way over to view the selection, and...while I had expected there to be a fantastic selection of unique flavors...I was ill-prepared for the choices I'd have to make. My eyes roved over such a brilliant array of colors and provocative flavors, that my attention was like trying to walk a pack of exceptionally energetic puppies. Any moment I thought I had made a decision, one of those puppies would leap at another label or swirl or splash of rainbow, yipping and pulling. All of the disappointments and problems in my life slipped away into the ether as the most pressing thing in the world at the moment was... 'WHICH ONE?!' I was going to commit to a pint, no matter what--no question. Sure, I could have asked for some samples, but I didn't want to pester the pleasant woman keeping shop... She was already engaged in friendly banter with a couple of other patrons, and I was struggling as it was. I have a penchant for eating anything that's aggressively blue, and the variety of flavors available in that color had me holding my breath as my eyebrows tried to unite with my hairline. I finally wrangled my internal puppy thoughts--resisting my every urge to just shout 'BLUE!'--and picked one: Caramel cheesecake.I scurried home, dealt with some unpleasant things... But finally I grabbed a spoon and dug in--...there are some things in this world that bring such unexpected pleasure and joy that it elicits reactions that seem contrary and disproportionate to the thing being experienced. Such was the case with this ice cream. It was so good, I had to beg pardon for my vernacular and volume. So smooth, so creamy, but with tantalizingly soft chews of chunks of cheesecake and subtle crunches. It was sweetness like a euphoria. I had meant only to have a little taste so I could satisfy my curiosity and save it for later...but the spoon seemed to take on a mind of its own. M'lad witnessed my exultation, and I almost reluctantly passed him the spoon. Usually, we can calmly and politely share food--but we were reduced to a base, child-like state, and got grabby-snatchy with just the one spoon. Something about this must have alarmed my rational side, and after both of us saying 'Last one, for realsies--' for the fifth or sixth time, I managed to slap the top back on to save what was left for later...but it was difficult.Suffice to say, next time I will allow myself to dawdle a bit in the shop and ask for samples, although I sincerely doubt that there is any wrong choice. I blindly and recklessly committed to this one flavor... My only regret is that I didn't get a bigger bucket.“

“Incredibly delicious ice cream! Our favorite spot around! They always have a great selection and occasionally roll out new flavors. The employees are always super kind and patient, and will let you try a flavor if you’re unsure or haven’t had it before.They sell other drink and food items, which I have yet to try!Outdoor and indoor seating available.Dietary restrictions: Their flavor board clearly marks which ones are dairy free, contains nuts, alcohol, etc.“

“Valentine's Day surprise made my week!! I love sweets, especially cannolis, so when my boyfriend gave me this (with a beautiful bouquet of lilies) I almost screamed with joy! I have been on a mission to try all the bakeries in the vicinity of Boston, so you could call me a bakery expert. Gaetano's blew my socks off! Not only was the shell of the cannoli nice and crisp, but the cream was delicious. I really loved the cookies as well, which surprised me! When I am back in Holliston, you will for sure see me at Gaetano's Bakery with a crumb trail following me wherever I go.“

“Always good service. Fast and fresh food and not a long wait. I love the milkshakes and the fries are the best! They have the best flavor for a decent price. I look forward to coming here and eating whenever I can.Kid-friendliness: People are so welcoming and understanding when it comes to your order. If they forgot some thing they always apologize and allow you to get it. I am always welcomed when I come in and they are always kind when I leave. I come to different Mooyahs, Northborough, Sudbury, and Hudson and I always have the best experience at these locations! I look forward to coming again soon“

“They open on the first day of spring. Now open 2023. Great choices of soft serve flavors. Dairy queen is a soft service ice cream stand. They do not serve any other food at this location, from my understanding. Only reason I give 4/5 stars is because I don't think they have a public bathroom and there are only 3 or 4 small benches outside, to sit on. No inside seating. If it's busy then you have to stand outside to eat or have to go eat in your. If they got more outdoor seats or tables then it would be a better ice cream stand location.“

“Massachusetts natives rave about the ice cream stands that open in the summer. I rave about New City which is open all year and makes superior ice cream. Creamy and smooth, and a rotating list of creative flavors greet us at every visit. The staff is always super friendly and will indulge you if you want to sample every flavor. The people behind you in line might not be so forgiving ?“

“Our family travelled from the north shore to Berlin Farms yesterday for their Easter Spectacular and it was truly incredible and worth every penny . The grounds of the farm are immaculate beautiful. There were surprises around every corner (…and I’m not sure how anyone could not give this place 5⭐️) My 4 year old loved the bouncy house and the creative egg hunt (collect the fun balls, trade them in for a goodie bag full of top notch candy and prizes) in addition to all of the fun rides-on toys and games (pogo stick, unicorns, ring toss, oh my). The day was filled with such care, loved, and attention to detail. Such a fun Easter morning in beautiful Berlin ❤️“

“I've been a few times and the food and milkshakes are DELICIOUS! Consistent and all freshly made. The burgers are cooked nicely. I love the option to make your own. They have something for everyone; beef, turkey, black bean, hot dog. I wish the fries were included but the portion size is huge (should be for the price ?). I've come back a few times just for the tasty thick milkshakes... don't leave without getting one. It's nothing fancy but simply done right. Location is good sized with lots of parking. A family could easily come in and sit with no issue.“

“*EDIT*It was okay. It wasn't anything special for the price for what I ordered. I asked for extra caramel and I shouldn't have, lol. I kind of felt like I got an attitude because I didn't tip the girl, but that was probably just me to be honest. She was nice. I'm sorry not everyone tips. I personally didn't bring enough money to, and believe it or not, it was the first time I ever had Dairy Queen. I wanted Furreal*, but saw Dairy Queen and was like, why not? I'll check it out again!“
