Cash Only! But don't let that stop you from getting your ice cream fix during their open season!
Serving Richardson's hard ice cream, with a variety of toppings and options, as well as the New England staple soft serve, The Big One is the place to give in to that sweet tooth.

Towards the end of September, the shop is winding down so a few flavors were unavailable, of course, the ones I wanted but that's okay! Chocolate peanut butter never disappoints! They were friendly and quick with service! Picnic tables and parking available.

Friendly service, good food in a great location. I go there every week without fail. They close for the season starting in October, so get there this week. I'm sure you'll love it and will come back in April when they re-open.

This ice cream was a small next time I'm getting a kiddie cone.

I can never get enough of this place... the ice cream is SO GOOD! Particularly, I possess an addiction to their Milky Way flavor. However, this time around the ice cream wasn't the star of the show... their kindness was front and center. My grandmother was going through a big transition of her life that day. I mentioned it to the person working as my loved one was sitting in the car. She was kind enough to offer words of experience and comfort. On top of this, she ensured my grandmother got a good day by making eating the ice cream easier with a bigger bowl and a cap just in case she didn't finish. Thank you so much! It made our day and can't wait to go back to a childhood favorite.

This place is always solid. They make the best mint chip. It’s very pleasant and not overwhelming or artificial tasting. I also love the type of chocolate chips they use. Their chocolate ice cream is pretty good too, not too sweet it’s just perfect. The portion sizing is hit or miss, it seems to depend on how busy it is and who is working. I’ve noticed that if going in the late afternoon/evenings when it’s busy the sizes are a bit smaller. I ordered the medium and it’s massive (see picture). I’ll probably stick with the kiddie which is my usual move. The negative, cash only is a bit annoying. Also avoid the waffle cone - they seem to be consistently stale.

Great ice cream with large portion sizes, and options to grab pints and quarts. Tons of flavor options, too.

Just finished my banana split. The girl was so nice answering all my questions. It was so good thanks a lot.

Big One, Now a Big Rip- Off! ordered hand packed quart for $10, barely full, huge air gaps, not like it used to be such a good value in hard pack ice cream now carelessly scooped. Loyal 20 year customer finally fed up. Also ordered a cup of topping for $5.50, filled 1” from the top of the container. When I asked them to top it off, the young lady stated at the window: “it was my boss that told my to fill it up that much”. she did top it off, begrudgingly. I am unlikely to return. Their proces are officially ridiculous now. And STILL CASH ONLY. SO you know they skim off the top. Very difficult for a family to afford this place anymore. Unfriendly service. I still tipped the young service staff a few dollars because it’s hard to fault them for poor leadership. DO NOT RECOMMEND. At least King Kone finally offers electronic payment methods and Axels and Haywards offer food selections beyond simple hot dogs. Very disappointed in how Big One is a Big Disappointment now.

Quality ice cream and frozen specialties at a reasonable price, plenty of parking and picnic tables and, most importantly, always friendly service. Been going here for decades, never a bad experience. As a plus, during summer and harvest season Lavoie's Farm maintains a farmers market; grab a cone, pick up some fresh tomatoes and corn.
