29 Best Ice Cream Shops near West Newbury

“Great Peppermint Stick ice cream!!“

“Dietary restrictions: They have Italian ice cream called gelato which is my husband's favorite ice cream, and I love the Berry Good sorbet. Their sorbets are dairy free. Yummy!

Parking: They are in the same place as Piro's Bakery in Pleasant Valley. Free parking, easy to get to.“

“Every single flavor I’ve tried here is outstanding. The ice cream here is incredibly fresh and creamy with top notch ingredients. I love trying the unique flavors and the birthday surprise (cake batter) and coffee Oreo are best I’ve ever had.“

“My husband and I were driving through the cute little town and saw the sign and decided to stop in. Definitely a great choice!! The ice cream was delicious, the 3 young ladies working were very friendly and the part that made me feel I needed to write a review... the active duty service member ordering with his children and not having to pay. Thank you to the owners for this policy, it definitely makes me want to support your company and spread the word!!“

“Big THANK YOU for handling the Bagnall pre-K graduating class! You guys did a great job with a big very wild crowd!“

“We went on a busy day, so maybe that's why the ladies running the show were probably colder than the ice cream. I don't expect a warm hug or a high five, but the mean girl glares were a little icky and we were very nice.There seemed to be a lot of confusion with the orders and my hubby's was done incorrectly the first time and so were a few other people's. I left a 20 percent tip anyways....

That being said, the ice cream was really good, though a bit pricey. I like the organized line situation, but I wish descriptions of some of the original flavors were available and in an easy place to read. It's impossible to guess what some of them are based on the name and even if you want to look at the ice cream in the case, you have to overstep the velvet rope and get in the way of people leaving the register and going to the pickup spot.

Everyone has bad days, so I'll give it another shot.“

“We wanted to have our ice cream outside, but the granite benches near the little park just to the right of the store looked dirty and possibly sticky, and could use a good cleaning, so we ate inside instead. Truth be told, we don't know if those benches are part of the ice cream store's property, or responsibility, but having them cleaned would make for a better dining experience outside.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of things hanging on the walls to entertain kids in another whole wall of youth baseball teams that they have sponsored“

“Another delicious visit to Hodgies Too. We love to check out their Facebook for mouthwatering pix of their special flavors and then head down for the real thing, smooth and creamy and full of yummy add-ins. Servings are large!. If you want something smaller but with the same great taste, order the Hodgie Cup size. It's a great deal!“

“You are all the BEST''at Biggarts. I missed my order--so sorry. Now-I have a long wait before I get to enjoy my favorite ice cream. ENJOY--Florida . I shall try to make it through the Winter!!LOL Huge Hugs--Stay well and safe''''“

“What's not to love? It's gelato and in as many flavors as you can pretty much imagine. Great variety and good service. Highly recommended if you are looking for a gelato, especially on a hot summer night in beautiful downtown NewburyPort.“

“Lovely view of the field out back while enjoying the wonderful ice cream that they get from Richardson's Diary in Middleton. If you're lucky (like we were!), a brazen little bunny might join you by the picnic tables to feast on all the clover popping up! So cute!“

“If your kid is under 40 inches you get a kids size ice cream FREE. No $4 ice cream like other places where 1/2 ends up melting, 1/4 all over them and they only eat 1/4. Home made too. Delish!“

“always great ice-cream. highly recommend“

“Such a fun and whimsical little shop! We enjoyed our ice cream, and there were many topping and candy types to choose from! Sugar free items and gluten free are available, too. A little something for everyone!! Our server was very friendly and attentive and gave us nice background about the place!“

“Love this place. Very friendly people and a lot closer than Richardson’s.“

“Best ice cream going!! Difficult to choose a flavor. Excellent service.“

“I’ve been going to this location for about a year now. Always a pleasant experience! Very nice and professional employees. Today I was there and it was very busy! Only two girls were working. They handled the rush amazingly! I was extremely impressed!!This location is the Best of the Best!!I will be back again soon !!Thank you“

“Great ice cream. Unbelievable that they actually charge people for the mini golf. What a mess. Course has not been maintained in years. We asked for a refund after 2 holes.“

“Stillwells is a hidden gem in Plaistow. Don't let the plaza dissuade you, this is the best ice cream in the area. The servers are super speedy and friendly and prices are very reasonable for Richardson's ice cream. Don't miss out on the prepacked gallons, ice cream pies, or ice cream sandwiches. We're here probably more than we should be.“

“Long lines at this very popular ice cream stand but staff is fast and efficient talking down that line in a hurry! Always look happy to see you despite how hard they are working. Manager hires a great group of really enthusiastic teens to staff the windows . New flavors daily !“

“Ari's is the place!!!! Never a bad meal & the prices are awesome!!! Ari is one of the nicest guys in the world!!!“

“Fast and Efficient Service. Tastey Fresh Menu. Will definitely be back again and again.“

“Great atmosphere to meet a friend or client!“

“Super place :) Go and visit“

“Had a good time there. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have as many things to do on the week days as they do on the weekends. They have a fall festive during October, every weekend. With a BBQ, blue grass band and some other things. But we still had a good time. The " farm animals" were just goats. But they were cute. There was a nice selection of pumpkins and the prices for the pumpkins weren't bad. We wanted to do the corn maze but it was an additional 9$ per adult and children under 5 were free. But we decided that it wasn't worth the money for 3 adults and a toddler. ( personal choice ) the corn maze looked okay. Just a plain corn maze. The main store was Amazing. So many choices of fresh food and yummy treats. I was so excited to get some zucchini bread. Which was delicious. They also have a grill where you can order food.
The orchard part was probably my least favorite part.. I wish there was a smaller option for pick your own apples. The bushel was 35$ for the smallest bag. There was 15$ bag but apparently it was an add on only. The nice thing is you could use foodstamps to pay for the apples and at the store. The trees in the orchard were decent, it was a little hard to see the flags to mark them but we had a good time. Our toddler absolutely had a blast, with everything. She just loved being able to run and do everything on her own. It wasn't super crowded so you could walk at your own pace and have fun.
I would recommend going if you live in the area. We drove from Massachusetts but my father only lives 15 minutes from there. It was on a nice back road area with almost no vehicle traffic which was nice too. Good family place to get some good food, fruit and have a good time.“

“Very beautiful and well decorated place !!!“

“We had a great time at Crescent farm. The best thing about it was the cider donuts, that were warm and fresh. You have to try the Apple Cider Donut sundae!! It doesn’t show on the menu but it was the best we’ve ever had. I have been dreaming about it since. Hoping they are open this weekend when family is here to take them down.“

“They have the most amazing Acai bowls..and let me tell you, their coffee puts others to shame. Seriously I've been on a healthy kick and they make healthy so good. Not to mention their muffins, cookies and other baked good. Don't pass them by. We'll with the trip.“

“They were short staffed so they informed us it would be 5-10 minutes to be seated. We ordered our entree and dessert all at once and everything came in a timely manner perfectly. Great service even with staff shortage.“
