“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 🥰❤️“

“Everything is yummy! Best slush ever! The espresso gelato is my flavor of the week. Friendly staff.“

“Always drive by but never stopped. This weekend we finally stopped and it’s was really good! Prices were reasonable and the girls at the window were very friendly! We got 3 soft serves and one cyclone (slush and ice cream) Pistachio soft serve was a fam fav! We will be back next time we’re in the mood for a cold treat!“

“i got richie,s slush for the first time this year, I was so excited!, but then i noticed i think richie's slush changed their recipe for their slush. it just dont taste the same. I dont know if it was do to covid? But I do know it dont taste the same. It tastes more like a sherbet or sorbet. but its definitely not slush. so dispointed! #richie'slush“

“OMG, a hidden local gem. Amazing ice cream and very cute little candy store. Has the historical feel. I bet it will bring nostalgia to some people. The Matcha strawberry ice cream was one THE best Matcha I've had. The pistachio had real pistachio in it that you actually chew the nuts. The pecan maple syrup was disappointing. Just tasted bland. Unfortunately you can only try two flavors before making the selection (and I went for pistachio and pecan maple) so I couldn't try others. Price is really recent for the amount you get. Please be mindful that these ice cream contain ALCOHOL though, and there are limited non-alcohol options. Planning to come again to try their other sundaes and tea/ice cream floats. Would highly recommend!“

“They have delicious candy and great sandwiches.“

“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.“

“awesome flavor combinations“

“delicious banana splits and fruit dessert deliciosas banana splits y postres de frutas“

“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!“

“I guess there could be worse places to be stuck with a dead battery and waiting for AAA. Marietta is the sweetest. She even said it would be fine if we left the car overnight. Great ice cream! Nice people. I love the coffee soft serve!“

“What a treat. Our first family ice creams of the season!! So good and delivered by the owner. Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful new ice cream shop.“

Kid-friendliness: Clean, good space, clean single bathrooms, place for stroller“

“The best! A+ espresso to the cappuccino to the espresso martinis are awesome. Cannolis are the best around. The owner Frank is keeping the family tradition!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“excellent ice cream, great service!“

“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“

“By far the best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had!!! I’ve had them recently from about six local restaurants this place has the best texture and taste. The only thing is, I wish they had options like peanut butter drizzle , Chia seed, cacao bits and nuts.“

“A New England institution - high quality ice cream in a rotating variety of flavors, available in cups or cones, with or without toppings. Recommend the Chocolate Fudge Brownie or Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz for an afternoon pick me up. Spoons are more eco friendly wood these days. Outdoor seating available on North side of the building.“

“honestly im writing this review based off the store bought italian ices but i do plan on visiting this summer! I LOVE the italian ice especially the cherry i literally have one sometimes two a day and i look forward to visiting this coming up summer!! Dont change a thing Richies!!!!“

“Their low carb vanilla soft serve is better than the real thing! 🍦“

“This is a little hidden gem! If you want homemade Peruvian food, this is the place to go. It’s not very big so be ready to wait a bit if you go during a busy time on the weekends. The owners are very nice and the food is absolutely delicious!“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

“the kids had such a great time pointing out the states on the cow out front“

“Taiyaki provided us the best ice cream we had on our trip! We got the unicorn taiyaki, and it was super great. The soft serve was so creamy and smooth. The red bean filling, fish cone, cotton candy sprinkles, and everything else was top tier.
We'll come here again the next time we find ourselves in beantown.“

“What a treat. Our first family ice creams of the season!! So good and delivered by the owner. Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful new ice cream shop.“

“Delicioso açaí 🤤 melhor da região dos eua 🇺🇸🥰“

“Shaved Ice. It was the reason we went back there. First went there about 5years ago on a trip to Boston. It was so good and we had talked about going back if we ever got back to Boston. Trouble was we didn't know the name of the place, only that we had walked there from the airport thru a park, and that there was a Dunkin' near by. YAY for Google maps! It took a while but we found it and walked the mile and a half to get there...it IS that good. And reasonably priced.“

“los helados bueno todo es super rico bueno“

“We visited here twice this past week on our trip to Boston. My kids got the chocolate, strawberry and lemon. All 3 kiddos gave it a five star review and couldn’t wait to go back the second time! I wouldn’t hesitate to go back if we return on another trip!“

“This is the first time I have been in this store was cozy and amazing. The owner is reliable, honest and operates with integrity. I would like to recommend this store to anyone who is looking for fast food and craving ice cream or needs anything. This store is so convenient and in the nice Boston neighborhood.“

“Great burger! Friendly, attentive staff. Thank you for a great day out!“

“I didn’t hear about this place until I saw people walking around with boxes. I decided to go check them out. There were about 100 people waiting in line when I arrived. The line moved fairly quickly. It was cash only, but you can order online in advance so I chose to do that. The pasties themselves were nothing special, canollis were not fresh, donut was stale. There are better pasties in Boston, not worth the wait.“

“Amanda, the Director of Operations, was so friendly and efficient. She was easy to work with to plan our corporate ice cream party. The driver who came was also very nice and the ice cream was delicious! Will definitely use Ice Cream on Wheels again!“

“Great service amazing staff“

“Best soft serve in Boston area. No competition. And don’t sleep on the chocolate jimmies- they are amazing“

“Literally the best ice cream I’ve ever put in my mouth! And if you don’t have a spoon in your hotel room the end of your toothbrush works almost as well! (Photo n comments!)“

“Delicious ice cream! Lots of flavors to choose from. Staff was great.“

“This ice cream spot is a busy spot on the warf to grab ice cream and water. I order strawberry ice cream in a cup with jimmies. The service was mistep. They gave me a strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. The strawberry ice cream was cold, refreshing, and rich. It was delicious except for the cone. I really wish the water was cold. Warm water on a hot day was gross.“

“I love Zip’s. So glad they’re about to open for the season. CANNOT wait. 🥰👍“

“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.“
