30 Best Ice Cream Shops near Derry

“The flavor and texture and richness. This ice cream is what home made ice cream really is. They don't skimp on ingredients; you won't get stuck with chocolate chip that's mostly vanilla etc. I come up from Massachusetts for this ice cream. It's well worth the 90 minutes on the road.“

“Delicious Maple Walnut ice cream“

“The ice cream is awesome! My wife and mother both got sundaes and I got the hot apple crisp with maple walnut icecream; excellent.“

“This is one of my favorite ice cream stands in the area. We drive 30 minutes to visit this stand and it’s well worth the drive. I especially love that they have a dairy free option. Their scoops are huge! My daughter loves seeing the goats. Every time we have been there has been plenty of seating and lots of shade.“

“First time trying this place. Ice cream/frozen yogurt was delicious! I got my favorite Purple cow. Portions are large. Prices are good too!“

“I don't go there for the service or atmosphere. This is a staple in Manchester and 1 of 3 drive-in joints left in the city and it's my favorite. Get the onion rings!! I'm a fan of a coffee frappe and the fish sandwich not to be confused with the fish burger (it has cheese)“

“First time trying this place. Had the seaside s’mores and the graham cracker ice cream with ground up sweet graham cracker chunks was really good. It also had whole mini marshmallows in it and was a nice change in texture. Will hopefully be back to try something else again“

“I am a member of my town's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and our 7th grade has Sub Zero do a science based presentation every year. Rita and her staff are easy to work with, the cost is very reasonable, and the 7th grade teachers and students love this event! A fun way to teach science with some delicious ice cream at the end is a win- win for all! I highly recommend contacting Sub Zero for your school or organization.“

“Absolutely delicious waffle cones! It’s such a pleasure to be greeted by a friendly person who is about to scoop ice cream for you! The only problem is deciding which flavor- too many goo options!“

“My brownie treat was delish. Very fresh !“

“Wow! The Puritan Backroom was out to impress yesterday. We chose to order from them for our daughter and son in laws “I Do BBQ”. So much food! So delicious! Everyone was very happy with everything. There was way more than expected! Thank you!“

“Delicious ice cream, friendly people at the counter, convenient parking and lots of indoor/outdoor seating. A family favorite!!!“

“We ordered ice cream last night on DoorDash from this location and it was delicious. You can tell the difference between the fresh ice cream and the ice cream bought in the store. The plush cow and bracelet is for my toddler. We love our little souvenirs. Our plush cow is special needs but he has character and it just makes him extra special. We will take good care of him.“

“Delicious ice cream with many, many choices and great customer service!!“

“very impressive establishment and fabulous staff! we love coming here“

“Super awesome! Everyone is friendly and helpful. The flavors are varied and totally yummy. It's our favorite frozen yogurt place!!“

“This establishment is by far the best in the area. Service is always prompt, orders are always hot/correct, and the staffs attitude/training is second to none! Sadly, customer service in all sectors has gone down the drain. This place re-establishes my faith.“

“SubZero has come to my school a few times to give a demonstration to my second grade classes. The information is age appropriate, the science experiments are engaging, and the presenter is fun and knowledgeable. The best part is the ice cream treat at the end for all the kids and teachers! Highly engaging and highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and friendly waitstaff. Went for Sunday brunch with my family, and was pleasantly surprised that they have live music on Sundays. Will definitely go back again.“

“My family and I like this place. They have really good ice cream for really good prices but the parking situation makes it annoying to come here. There's a tiny parking lot and not enough picnic tables. This place is always busy which is great, but they really have to do something about parking and seating. Just a thought 🙂 awesome place otherwise.“

“Great food and service every time.“

“Every year, we get our Christmas tree here, and the kids love it. The trees are health and full. The people who work there are always pleasant and helpful. The gift shop is fun also. Beautiful wreaths and other stuff to hang. Fun spot to go!“

“Mack’s apples will always hold a special place in my heart. When I was growing up I used to practice soccer down by the willow tree and pond. A gorgeous place! So when I was looking for a last minute place to get married I instantly thought of this spot. The owners don’t normally hold weddings here but they made an exception for my intimate family gathering. THANK YOU! It was absolutely gorgeous and my photographer could not shut up about how beautiful the photos were gonna turn out with the sun peaking through the weeping willow branches. Another photographer came down after to take photos of other people. It is quite the location! Shout out to Chris, Maria, Lisa and Kyle for making this possible and for helping me put together the cutest favors for my guests! We got little maple syrup jars and Mack’s made jams that everyone was very excited to receive. Thank you for being a staple in this town and being apart of the best day of my life! 💜 Jessica“

“Ice cream is delicious and cooling on a hot summer day!“

“We reached out last minute to see if Timeless Treats had availability to stop by our Kindergarten Meetup. They arrived and stayed to make sure all the kids got to purchase ice cream. Great service and very friendly. Thank you“

“We had Hazy Ice Cream at our family reunion. They showed up on time and did an amazing job serving 150 people in a timely manner! The kids and adults loved all the options available! Highly recommend them!“

“I was very impressed with this candy shop. They had very reasonable prices and a large variety of candy, chocolates, and fudge.
The best part for me was the fact that they not only served ice cream, but it was of good quality and very fairly priced. They have a good variety of flavors of hardserve, and for just ice cream they have up to large which is 4 good size scoops. If you want a sundae, the large is 3 scoops and you get all the topping you want for no extra charge. I ended up getting a large sundae with what must have been a cup worth of topping, and it was less than 8 dollars. It would have been even cheaper if I got the four scoop large of just ice cream at around 5 dollars.
I left extremely impressed and satisfied with this shop, and I look forward to going again very soon!“
