50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wakefield

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

“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.“

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

“I’ve been coming to Richardson’s ever since I moved near here. Never once have I left feeling unsatisfied due to the sheer excellence of their work. The staff are so polite, ordering is easy, and best of all, the ice cream is absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect place to come on a hot summer’s day to walk around the farm, enjoying a tasty cone. I’ve tried multiple flavors and they are all spectacular. This has been my favorite ice cream shop for years and will continue to be. Get a treat here, you won’t be disappointed whatsoever!“

“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 🥰❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The SunSplash Açaí Bowl is easily one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had. The combination of mango, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, and coconut creates a fresh tropical flavor that tastes like summer in every bite. The granola adds the perfect crunch, while the honey and passion fruit mousse give it just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portion was generous, and the presentation was beautiful. It’s refreshing, filling, and a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or a healthy treat. I’ll definitely be ordering it again!“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“It was really cute shop and I liked the ice cream. I walked down to the Kennedy Greenway and took in the skyline views with it. Great night!

I took off one star cause the ice cream is close to being perfect, but not quite. The cookie dough ice cream just simply didn’t have enough cookie dough bites in it. We all know those are the best part so what are we skimping for!

The cake batter ice cream had too many sprinkles for my taste. It’s already a very sweet flavor so it would be nice to have the option to add sprinkles instead.

On the other hand, the fruit and sorbet style flavors were perfection!

Last point, the employees all seemed like they hated their lives here. I respect that ofc cause I’ve worked many jobs that I hate, but it gave me the sense something could be done behind the scenes to make it a better work environment.

I don’t mean to sound too harsh cause clearly this place is great! But that’s my two cents, keep going!“

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

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Always have recommended for a normal ice cream day but after today, HIGHLY recommend even more for a catering gig! We did a make your own sundae bar for Teacher Appreciation Week and it was a huge hit(60)! Working with Joe to get everything ordered and organized was a piece of cake! He was so helpful with suggestions and always replying back so quickly. Liz delivered to our school and was so helpful, showing me how to use the warmer and even helping to unpack the ice creams into the freezer. Their sizes and prices are unbeatable compared to some local places around and my kids absolutely love all their flavors and my husband is a big fan of the banana bucket. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new place to try because if you haven't tried here, you have been missing out!“

“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.“

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

“We recently ordered a large quantity of hot fudge for our sons wedding in Delaware because Rancs has the best hot fudge anywhere!! It was a huge success! We can’t thank the owner Joe enough. He was able to get us that large order and package it for our drive to Delaware! Thank you Joe for everything!! You’re the best!!!!“

“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!“

“good ice cream friendly service reasonable price.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Really incredible - creamy, perfect consistency, nice flavors including a plain sweet cream (which can be difficult to find), and some fun ones like right now fresh rose, also sweet corn is incredibly delicious. I also enjoyed the burnt sugar flavor. A Cambridge classic. Would highly recommend the homemade whipped cream as well. This is my favorite ice cream in Cambridge by far! Probably in my top 5 in the state too“

“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!“

“I have been hooked on Richie's Italian Ice. 10oz..with these great flavors cherry, watermelon, strawberry, lemon lime, raspberry, orange cream, root beer. Sour apple.. Etc. I found them at Raynham Market Basket 4 for $5. Only trouble the flavor are limited.

“Was looking for a new pizza place to try, Nella’s is great! Generous with the toppings. They don’t skimp. Solid undercarriage and perfect proportions of sauce and cheese. Delicious. Must try!“

“cookie was really good! i went in with my friend because we saw no customers so we went ahead and tried the red velvet cookie!!! was really good and pricing was 5.89 for a big cookie, much better than crumble because their portions are smaller. would definitely come back here with my friend again!! 10/10 service btw they know the good cookie recommendations:)“

“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!“
