8 Best Ice Cream Shops near Springfield

“The ice cream was good, with friendly service. We got chocolate, peppermint stick, and mint moose tracks. The scoops were slightly smaller than we thought they would be.

I wasn’t sure what to expect given the lack of recent photos or reviews, but we’d seen the open flag out over the years and thought it would be fun to finally try. We found the door locked with a sign that they’re open during cinema hours and to go over there to get someone; it was a little unusual, but someone came right over to serve us. The ice cream board is nearly exactly the same as the 10-year old photo, except for the prices of course (two scoops is $4.75), and some of the flavors are different. They still serve Hersheys ice cream, and some are oatmazing for dairy-free option. They do not serve coffee anymore (referring to some of the other old photos).“

“Opening day and the service was incredible! The workers really know what they are doing. Generous portions at a great price.“

“Just had a hot apple cider with a scoop of sweet cream ice cream (per the recommendation of the woman who served me)…. wow. This place is incredible, I can’t recommend it enough! Please please try it!!!“

“A very good selection of hard ice cream flavors, soft serve, frappes, sundaes and more. The service was a bit slow the evening we we were there but what's the big hurry when you go out for ice cream? There are picnic tables and benches where you can sit to enjoy your treats near the river. There is some traffic noise but it's still a nice spot. If you like soft serve, I recommend the maple/ black raspberry twist, if they have it. The small is quite substantial!“

“Shopping at the Vermont Country Store always makes me hungry [even after grazing on all the samples they have]. A stop at Mildred's always winds up with a satisfying meal. On the enclosed porch in cold weather or at a picnic table when it warms up.“

“Delicious and great customer service!“

“Hot sunny day. Ordered a root beer float ($6.50 + tax). Was handed a tall plastic glass with 2" of vanilla soft-serve in the bottom and a WARM bottle of root beer.“

“Pizza was good the crust wasn't my favorite but the amount of toppings and flavor of sauce were great. Our fries were hot and yummy (portion was good) but the onion rings portion was not the best for the price. The dining room is cramped but they even have outside seating to accommodate.“
