50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Westwood

“Loyal customer, grew up in Norwood & I was coming here when Facebook reviews were called Word-Of-Mouth… still has the best Orange Sherbert around, glad I can take my kids here & keep a tradition rollin’ along 👍“

“Excellent! The best gelato I have ever had. All the flavors I tried were superb.“

“Cabot's has great food, including all-day breakfast, in addition to their delicious ice cream. The McGonagal Benedict was the best corned beef benny I've ever had.“

“Great ice cream and friendly people“

“Ron’s is truly a hidden jewel, the ice cream is amazing and you’re going to love the bowling alley.“

“delicious flavor and texture. very nice staff“

“Great customer service and delicious gelato. Clean and such a cute shop. So happy we stopped in!“

“I stopped in after dinner with my date to finally try this place out and we were blown away.

First off: the flavors are amazing. They are both well thought of combinations and absolutely high quality products. This is artisan level ice cream. It is very dense and rich. It kind of reminds me of Italian gelato in a way. I loved the cones as well. You can order a 1, 2, or 3 scoop in a cone or cup. Or cone kind of looking thing in a cup.

The staff here was super nice and friendly. Thank you for your professionalism! I love the atmosphere of the store and it was very modern, clean, and intriguing. I wanted a cone as soon as I walked in.

Price wise, be prepared for expensive ice cream. In my opinion it was worth the purchase for how exceptionally better it was than the vast majority of places I’ve tried around town.

Do yourself the favor and check it out. You will not regret it!“

“One of the best around. Tons of flavors. Reasonable prices. Great staff.“

“Stopped in Friday with my kids after school and everyone was beyond kind and the donuts were delicious!!!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“For picky Kiddos…You all may not know you can request hard scoop, which is your traditional scoop of ice cream before it’s made with the machine the New Zealand way. The staff are soooo accommodating and friendly. Color changing spoons are a Bonus.“

“Amazing cherry like always“

“First time there. Milk shakes were sweet nostalgia. Had that flavor that reminded me of home made ice cream as a kid.“

“Yesterday I was in to get a birthday cake and was inspired by an act of kindness. A young woman with some cognitive disabilities came in asking some unusual questions. The owner, who was working the shop by himself at the time, was so patient with her and kind. He treated her with respect and even gave her a free drink. These sorts of moments need to be recognized!“

“great crumbl in my opinion! they don’t run out of flavors as much as other crumbl’s i’ve been to and they are relatively speedy. the only downside is they are very popular and can be very busy which can slow down service. when you’re there and you can see the employees cleaning as they work and replacing their gloves often which makes me feel comfortable to eat the products. you can see them making the cookies fresh when you order and the cookies are always warmed to perfection“

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.“

“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!!!!“

“Not only is this a great place to get all your ice cream during those hot days But some of the best fudge in chocolate covered treats in the area as well I personally recommend the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the Wintergreen chocolate candies“

“Super leckeres Joghurteis in einer riesigen Auswahl, dazu ein riesiges Angebot an Toppings. Super lecker :)“

“Kyo Matcha is a newly opened Matcha and other flavor dessert spot located near the HMart of Brookline.

I came here during the grand opening and other subsequent times, and the lines were out the door. There is outdoor seating, but it felt a little congested with how the line moved. Inside there is a few photo op areas but it's mainly indoor seating.

The service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly. The staff were understanding to any allergies and were accommodating with replacements on the menu.

The food was of decent quality, but could've been better. I tried the Matcha Crepe Layer Cake, the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Cap Cake, and Parfait with Matcha Ice Cream.

The Matcha Crepe Layer Cake was really good, very light and fluffy with a soft texture. The Brown Sugar Milk Cap cake was a little on the heavier side, with the sweetness of the boba being a bit overwhelming for me, but still enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the Matcha Parfait, however I saw in photos that there should be two layers of ice cream, one on the bottom and one on top. When I received mine, there was barely any on the bottom, instead it was packed with the toppings. This didn't really bother me but it did make it only toppings once I finished the layer of Matcha ice cream on top.

The prices here are a bit on the expensive side for desserts, but comparable to other matcha dessert places.“

“I always have such a great time there! The milkshakes are amazing, and my favorite is always the coconut with chopped Reese’s pieces, I have already recommended it to a lot of people. It’s where I like to hang out with my friend after school to enjoy something delicious.The price is also pretty affordable.“

“The best icecream � for the hot days in Boston ��“

“So incredibly disappointed that yesterday was the last day... FOREVER. It was always a nice treat to walk to on my lunch break.“

“MMmmmmmmmMm, very yummy and reasonable prices, happy I found you“

“Was visiting friends when i came upon wally’s

What really sets this place apart is the love you can taste in every scoop. You can tell the people behind this shop genuinely care

about the quality of their ingredients, about their customers, and about making something truly special in their community.
The vibe is warm, fun, and welcoming. Honestly, it’s the kind of local gem you want to keep secret but just can’t stop yourself from telling everyone about. Do yourself a favor: get there, get two scoops (you’ll thank yourself), and become a regular. Wally’s Wicked Good Ice Cream has absolutely earned a permanent spot on my must-visit list. 🍦“

“Pretty empty when I went so the service was quick. The kiosks were acting funny as I went to pay pay it could have just been a one-time thing. The guy who gave us our cookies was very nice and the packaging was done with care. I recommend this Crumbl.“

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“Cute little location in the heart of Fenway Park. I knew going in that I wanted to try the Marshmallow Sky flavor that's exclusive to Scoop Shops, so I can't speak to the variety of flavors available. I wanted to grab a pint, but apparently this shop doesn't do pints. Regardless, I enjoyed my ice cream and the employee was very friendly. Ben & Jerry's is a great addition to the neighborhood (but not to my wallet)!“

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

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“I have been going to JP Licks for years. I was telling the young lady who was serving us. That I use to come to JP Lick when I was in high school. And JP Licks was the only place that made me smile when I was happy, sad , mad or even upset. And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“Absolutely the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I am not generally a big ice cream eater, but I have found myself having a bowl of the chocolate cherry brownie ice cream while its snowing outside!“

“Yogurt Beach is the kind of neighborhood frozen yogurt spot that does not overcomplicate things and is better for it. The self-serve format keeps the experience moving without much wait, which makes it an easy stop after an activity or whenever the dessert craving hits without wanting to commit to a longer sit-down experience.

The frozen yogurt and custard are both worth exploring depending on what you are in the mood for. The original tart yogurt is the baseline order and a good reference point for the quality, tangy and slightly sweet in a way that pairs naturally with almost anything you pile on top. The watermelon sorbet is a lighter option worth trying if you want something more refreshing, and the rotating flavors give you a reason to try something different each visit rather than defaulting to the same combination every time.

The topping selection is where Yogurt Beach earns its repeat visitors. Fruits are fresh, the variety is wide, and the pay-by-the-pound format gives you full control over how loaded you want to go without being locked into preset combinations. Mango popping boba, coconut flakes, and cereal are all worth reaching for when building out a bowl.“

“Crumbl cookies in Brighton is the best location! The cookies and deserts always come out perfect. Their customer service is excellent, the store is super clean and very friendly staff. I definitely recommend this location to anyone. A+ service!“

“I get it at the dessert bar at Whole Foods every time I go to the store!“

“OMG yes! Highly recommend Orange Leaf. The employees are all so professional and kind. They are accommodating and so pleasant when you call. And for the Yogurt and products? OMG THE BEST! My favorite is the no sugar added chocolate yogurt but my hubby's favorite is the strawberry cheesecake shake! He loves the smoothies too but the shake is his fav! Bottom line you have to try them. Their customer service is AMAZING staff are all wonderful and the products are delicious❤❤❤“

“Stopped in for a smoothie and was immediately won over by the incredible art and was equally pleased with the Boost smoothie! Tasted great—peanut butter and banana is always a winner, it was liquid enough to go through the (nice wide) straw but not too thin. Will definitely be going back next time I’m in the area!“

“love visiting the Jamaica Plain store! Since the weather has been getting warmer, I've gone a few times this month and have to say the staff is amazing. They are very warm, friendly, patient, and have great insight on all the flavors and products. Because of them I found my favorite Fomu flavor. It was Rose Lavender but I was introduced to Lemon Meringue, tart lemon ice cream (coconut base), with graham cracker crust and yummy vegan marshmallow! It was so tasty I went back a second (and third) time to buy a point. Don't miss this flavor and the wonderful staff (surprisingly calm and chill even under pandemic pressure). Can't wait to see what next month's flavors are!“

“So this place I’ve seen for the last yr due to being new in community . I never been because Covid had a lot of businesses down ! Today I tried this place and can I say I never in my life had such sweet and kind customer service . The young lady was so so nice and listen to how my son wanted his ice cream ! She got hot fudge on my cup and took the time to wipe it off and apologized for a mistake . She was young but I can say her mannerisms speaks volumes . I will definitely be bringing my kids here more often and it’s parking and quick lines ! ???“

“Wow. What a gem you have here in Boston. Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you ever decide to franchise sign me up.“

“Ben & Jerry’s is a classic ice cream shop that is more about the experience and nostalgia than just grabbing a quick dessert. The shop has a fun and colorful atmosphere with the brand’s playful style throughout the space, making it a good stop while walking around the area. The setup feels casual and easygoing, whether you are stopping in for a cone, sundae, shake, or something to share.

The biggest highlight is obviously the ice cream selection. There are plenty of signature flavors that go beyond traditional options, with choices ranging from rich chocolate-based flavors to combinations with cookie dough, brownies, and other mix-ins. The Tonight Dough is one of the standout flavors, especially for anyone who enjoys a more indulgent ice cream with different textures in every bite. The shop also offers waffle cones, sundaes, and shakes, so there are several ways to enjoy the same flavors.

The portions are filling, and the menu has enough variety depending on whether you want something simple or a more over-the-top dessert. The waffle cones add a nice touch compared to a standard cup, and the sundaes are a good option if you want toppings and extra sweetness. It is also a convenient place to stop if you are with a group since everyone can choose a different flavor.

Service was quick and friendly during my visit, making the ordering process simple even when there were multiple customers. The main thing to keep in mind is that the shop can get busy during peak times, and certain locations may have different serving policies or size options. Seating can also be limited, so it works best as a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend a long time.

Overall, Ben & Jerry’s remains a reliable choice for ice cream with a fun atmosphere, creative flavors, and plenty of dessert options. It is a familiar brand, but the variety of flavors and playful experience still make it worth stopping by when you are craving something sweet.“

“Ron’s is truly a hidden jewel, the ice cream is amazing and you’re going to love the bowling alley.“

“Daddy's Dairy has an impressive selection of both hard and soft serve ice cream, making it easy to find something that matches whatever you're craving. The menu is packed with flavors, toppings, sundaes, frappes, and specialty desserts, and the shop has a fun, classic ice cream stand feel with both indoor and outdoor seating.

I stopped by for a milkshake, and it was thick, creamy, and made with real ice cream. The flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and the consistency was exactly what I look for in a good milkshake. The portions are generous, and there are plenty of flavor combinations to customize your order.

Even with a steady flow of customers, the staff kept things moving efficiently and were friendly throughout my visit. The large selection can take a minute to look through, but it's part of what makes this place stand out.

Overall, Daddy's Dairy is a great spot for dessert, whether you're stopping in for a quick milkshake or planning to explore their huge variety of ice cream flavors. It's easy to see why it's a local favorite, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“Still great 40 years after first going there! This is the OG flavored waffle cone and mix-ins place before it was even a thing. Quality ice cream, solidly good flavor, nice staff. Don't be fooled by the fancy gelato and Asian ice cream shops... Have the real deal legit quality ice cream here.“

“We LOVE Kravings!! There is always something for each member of our family to enjoy when we go there for dinner. The owners are amazing and so is their ice cream. Definitely recommend 100%“

“Amazing cupcakes! Moist, delicious, and great flavor choices!!“

“JP Licks is a long standing Ice cream chain throughout the Boston area.

Staff scoop quickly, Ice cream is fresh and tasty. The ice cream is on the expensive side, but is rich in flavor, a bit sweet but not overly sweet, and has a great taste.

They have soft serve options as well as yogurt available, and there are many flavors available for ice cream as well.“

“Fenway location , fresh and the best customer service !“
