50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wakefield

“I've been going to Meltharb for years and their homemade ice cream is delicious and their list of flavor options is huge. Recently I had to give up dairy and tried their new Almond milk ice cream (made in-store) and it's delicious! so glad I can still enjoy their ice cream.“

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

“What delicious ice cream! The Banana Pudding was AMAZING! Highly recommend checking it out. Indoor seating also makes it a plus!“

“The assortment of flavors that Richardson's Ice Cream is quite extensive and exceptionally delicious, coupled with the fact that it's always freshly made and priced fairly. The staff is warmly and graciously welcoming, with ample parking space available.“

“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 🥰❤️“

“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.“

“I carpool with Zach to my soccer practices. We share apple slices and Dirtitos but sometimes Zach has bathroom emergencies and we giggle. This is Zach. Zach is my best fwend and I hope the ice cream truck goes well. I will come to the ice cweam truck soon to buy SpongeBob popscle. Im wooking forward to seeing you soon.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Today a group of us visited Gerly’s ice cream and we were most pleasantly impressed by the real freshness of the flavors like everything stood out. Nothing was muddled. The bananas were real. The fig was real. The goat cheese was real. It just was so natural tasting. We also really enjoyed talking with the “man behind the counter.” He said he was a cousin of the owner. He was super knowledgeable and informed us about the ice cream workshops and about how people from near and far came for the nut free ice cream options. I would really like the decor and the interior of the store to match the richness and decadence of the ice cream itself. The look of the store does not quite match the awesomeness of the ice cream. Please try this ice cream… it is so good! Some of the best ice cream I have ever had!“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“That tres leches is so yummy!!!! Who ever put that together deserves a standing ovation because let me say WOW!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am definitely going back and I’m bringing all my friends & family to share this deliciousness with. The service is great too. Super kind & patient.“

“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.“

“I ordered a Power Boost bowl through DoorDash and overall the bowl itself was delicious. Upon receiving it, I discovered it contained walnuts (which I have an allergy to) and the ingredient info on DoorDash did not list walnuts. I reached out to the store and they immediately updated the ingredient info and offered to remake the bowl, which I really appreciated.

After looking into this further, my bigger concern is with DoorDash. There is currently no option during the ordering process to list a food allergy or request an ingredient be removed. The only note option available relates to substitutions if an item is unavailable, not allergy information.

If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, I would highly recommend ordering directly through the store rather than through DoorDash so you can communicate those concerns directly and the restaurant can handle them accordingly because the bowl itself is absolutely worth trying!“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

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

“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!“

“Took my daughter for a ice cream to celebrate her first day of school yesterday...I haven't been 30+ years (😳) Oh the nostalgia!!! What a great space with all the fun candy displays and the ice cream bar was just how I remembered! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!“

“This is a charming ice cream store in the picturesque and quaint neighbourhood of North End. The two ice creams I’ve tasted were good but not the best I’ve had in Boston. For instance, I had the coffee ores one today and I wished it had more concentrated coffee flavour. Their hot fudge is yummy though. The people who work there were nice and professional.“

“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“

“Ordered an ice cream cake for Easter. It was delicious!!!“

“If you know anything about ice cream , you know that Mac's serves some of the best icecream made. They are open year round. Why eat icecream in winter you ask? Well , It's delicious for starters but it doesn't melt as fast in the cold. The pistachio is my favorite. The pistachio they serve is my benchmark for all other pistachio icecream. IT can not be beat. Flavor is spot on. And it's loaded with nuts. SMALL PISTACHIO WITH JIMMYS IN A CUP WITH A CONE PLEASE.“

“What a great place to visit!Tons of different candies and lots of ice cream flavors to choose from!“

“Loved this place! Beware that the mini 12 oz. Size looks small on the screen, but is more than enough for one person!

Loved the plentiful toppings and over the top sweetness this establishment packs in.

Very happy with my selection.

Wife enjoyed her thiccc boy flavor with the cookie dough being abundant throughout the entire cup!

Would love to have one of these open up in Colorado!“

“Our go-to ice cream stand with slushy, soft serve, and hard ice cream options to please everyone in the family. Prices are great compared to other ice cream stands. Just don't get fudge topping. It's not the real, thick fudge topping.“

“so many fabulous flavors of Gelato to pick from!“

“good ice cream friendly service reasonable price.“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“This place is great!! The staff is awesome and always soooo kind. Never had a bad experience here and never will. This place is reasonably priced, moves the line quick, and most importantly has THE best Richardson’s ice cream. My favorite is the peanut butter oreo! Not just dog friendly but dog lovers! The girl who took my order loved my dog and even told me that they can have soft serve vanilla! Now me and my dog can get a tasty treat from this amazing shop!“

“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!“

“Toscanini's has been my favorite ice cream spot for over 20 years. Even as I've moved around and lived in other cities, I always make a point to visit whenever I'm back in the Boston area. But a recent experience cemented my loyalty for life.

On Presidents' Day, our family showed up around 5 pm, not realizing the shop was closed for the holiday. When we couldn't open the door, we started knocking, thinking it was just stuck. Gus, the owner, came out and let us know they were closed for the day, but then asked us what we were looking for. We told him we were hoping to grab a pint, and he told us to wait just a moment. A few minutes later, he came back with a big bag full of different pints and let us walk away with two of them, suggesting we could come back and pay another day when they were actually open (or perhaps he didn't care!). We came back and paid two weeks later.

Thanks, Gus. You're amazing!“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“
