50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wakefield

“I'm updating my new favorite here. Orange sherbert freeze. It's so refreshing. They combine sherbert, seltzer water, and syrup. I have them add a pump of raspberry syrup. It's so good!!! Best drink on a hot day. I also love their banana split sooo yummy. All their ice cream/full menu is amazing. Plus, open all year round.

Been going here for years. Excellens ice cream parlor. Recent visit in August 2021 got the rainbow sherbet. You could taste each flavor. Was great!“

“Amazing homemade ice cream! Just go !!!Cravings is an experience!!! Step back in time to a real ice cream parlor <3“

“I have been going up to Richardsons since the summer... I went there last night and even though it was a cold night in January... Richardsons was packed... I got a waffle cone with Hot cocoa an Graham Central Station.... So good... Graham Central Station is one of my favorites...“

“This is a wonderful place. All the people are so nice and friendly. We are regulars there and most of the employees know our special order. Can’t say enough about the owner. Do yourself a favor and go for food and/or ice cream!“

“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 🥰❤️“

“Had a bit of time before dinner and, wait! +Ice Cream+ sign, I was lured in. Who say ya’ can’t have ice cream in January, and before dinner?

This was a great surprise and it’s a darn good thing that I don’t live close by. Really, creamy texture and just the right chewiness. Not like bubblegum chewy; am I making sense, here? Generous portions and reasonable prices.

Definitely adding Lizzy’s to my must visit list.“

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!“

“My bowl comes out right every time. I love the açaí and the seven free toppings 🤩🤩. I believe this is a small, family owned business: they are always attentive to your order, they will even call you to confirm if you want a specific topping or not! It’s apparent that they work hard and they care about their customers. Great, consistent customer service and bowls. I am so happy they exist.“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“Finally, wonderful, premium ice cream creations offered in good proportions. None of the artisanal-ice-cream-served-in-a-thimble nonsense here, but whatever size you want, from a taste to gut-busting with excellent ingredients and toppings.

It is pricey, but worth it.“

“is the best ever ice crem a had in my life“

“Best ice cream.... In the world. Yes, I said what I said. I haven't been to every country, but I've been to many and there's very few out there doing what Gus and team are doing. Consistently pushing boundaries of flavor and quality for decades. And, just really good humans!“

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.“

Thank you Christina's Ice cream for all the great memories and opening during school hours lol“

I keep saying this is so good... This is so good... I sound like a lunatic. 😂“

“Breakers is my preferred ice cream shop in Woburn even though I have another shop much closer. Ordering is efficient, orders are fulfilled accurately and quickly, and employees resolve any issues quickly and respectfully. Flavors are posted legibly and the variety of flavors is excellent. There is a parking lot, which is nice, and indoor seating and ordering which is helpful in the winter.“

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

“Went for some pizza. Order at the counter got three slices to split with hubby. Proper pepperoni-pepperoni pizza with burrata and hot honey (my favorite one) Cheese and Milanese- cheese pizza with chicken cutlet and red peppers. We also wanted to try the arancini- made with prosciutto instead of ground beef. You can take it to go but we decided to stay and eat. Beautifully decorated. The owner Stefano was so nice and checked on us to see if we needed anything. As we were leaving we stopped at the gelato counter and got a gelato to go. I had the oreo. Soooo good! We will be back!“

“We were visiting from out-of-state, and wanted to verify if they carried Richie’s Slush. I messaged and they were very responsive and even told me where to find parking. We enjoyed some delicious slush today! Thank you, CB Scoops!“

“Ok I’ve never had the actual Ice cream. I live in TX 😞 But I just just received my Gracie’s Ice Cream Weather sweatshirt and it’s the best fitting, most soft sweatshirt ever. *socks on the floor not included 10 stars ⭐️ !!“

“We went early Sunday afternoon to try to beat the line. It’s very standard ice cream. I sampled the tutti frutti which wasn’t for me but I could definitely see the appeal with the spice in it. Overall, I wouldn’t say it’s worth standing in line for. If you’ve ever had ice cream from a parlor before, it’s the same thing“

“I’ve been coming to this ice cream shop since I was a kid, and now, under new management, it’s better than ever! The new owners are awesome — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making every customer’s visit special. You can feel their commitment in the way they greet you and in the care they put into every scoop.

The ice cream is everything you want it to be — fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every bite takes me back to the summers of my childhood, and I love that I can now share that same experience with family and friends. Whether you have a go-to favorite or love trying something new, there’s always something here to make your day a little sweeter.

It’s wonderful to see a local business thriving and carrying on such a beloved tradition. If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out on one of the most delicious and heartwarming experiences in town.“
