14 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ipswich

“I got an unusually good chai latte with almond milk, and my girlfriend was impressed with her flat white with oat milk. This place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and one single occupancy bathroom. I did not scrutinize the snack case, but the bars and whatnot looked vegan. I wouldn't be surprised if they had vegan ice cream in the ice cream case, but I didn't ask.“

“Solid place for ice cream that just opened for the season. They were more than happy to give us a sample of one of the flavors we were interested in. They had most of the flavors when we visited at the beginning of April. I got a kiddie cookie dough and thought it was very well made. The ice cream was super creamy and the cookie dough was soft (I find that a lot of cookie dough in ice cream is too hard). The sizes run on the large side so be ready to share!“

“I was around the area and was craving for some Ice Cream - so what did I do? Open Yelp and looked for the closest one to me and has at least 4 Stars reviews- You already know what popped up first - Holy Cow Ice Cream ! I pulled into their parking lot on a drizzly 7pm evening - and have no idea what I wanted . At the same time , I don't want to be standing there looking at the 25+ of flavors that they had . Surely enough- I said to myself, ima have the worker pick for me ! So I said to the girl with a gray sweater, tied pony tail- "idk what I want, can you surprise me ?!" - she didn't hesitate or think twice or question anything (other then do I want it in a cup, cone, etc and I picked waffle cone)- and I'm glad she didn't ask me anything more than that because I STILL didn't know what I wanted lol! . She ranged me up, and did her thing . I also overheard her coworker asked if she wanted her to do it instead- she said no- she will surprise me . I waited approximately 3 min- she handed me a big WARM ice cream cone. I'm going to go ahead and say that waffle cone was freshly made. She gave me two scoops of something which had chunks of caramel squares and chocolate, vanilla, chocolate chip. It tasted a bit like butterscotch and something else . The bottom of the waffle cone had chocolate squares and mini chocolate chips and oh. My. Goodness. It was the most delicious ice cream I've ever had ! Kudos to the girl who "Surprised Me" with this ice cream on April 10th at 7pm ! I'll never know this flavor . lol And I'll probably say the same thing when I come back“

“I'm totally ashamed that I haven't written a review for Zumi's yet. It's really a great place. Literally coffee and community. I've never experienced such an open and inviting and patient coffee place. They will go overboard to make your coffee hit exactly what you need it to. And if it's too late for coffee, they have ice cream.There's often live music and it's a great vibe.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, which is great since the school and the creative Co-op are neighbors.“

“Was craving ice cream on the way to Boston & was able to get my fix before it closed. Just for kicks, sampled the grape nut which was interesting. It tasted like soggy grape nuts so at least you don't chip a tooth; you either love it or hate it. I decided to stick to my faves, chocolate peanut butter & pistachio. The pistachio flavoring was off, a bit too pistachio-y, if that's even possible. But the chocolate peanut butter hit the spot. Hubby got the milk & cookies & that was yummy too. Business was steady with a lot of local kids, even on a cold weeknight.“

“I just love Holy Cow. I will battle that their ice cream trumps other local favorites. Their cookie sandwiches are big! I like to bring them home and split in half so I can have 2 days worth. I highly recommend the fluffernutter one if they have it. So much flavor and they just know how to make the right combinations. Can't say enough out Ritzy AF. The flavor really holds the title of "best" in the country. My parents visited from out of town and they loved it too. I will be back!“

“LOVED the blueberryport flavor!! It was very blueberry and very unique. It wasn't very busy when I went, even in the summer, maybe because it's a little further from the main street? I dont know, but I thought it was the best. I got the smallest size and even that was a very large portion.“

“They have both soft serve and homemade traditional ice cream here. We usually stop by here when in Salem Willows. Attentive and quick service. Can't go wrong with ice cream! My daughter got the chocolate marshmallow along with pistachio Ice cream and really liked both.“

“Yum! Big portions -- the single scoop is about twice that. And so many flavors to choose from! Ended up with Grapenut and Extreme Chocolate (which has a chocolate sauce mixed in). Both were fantastic. Good amount of outdoor seating available and plenty of parking.“

“Can't believe I've lived in Andover since 1983 and have never been here. The adventure began with the aroma of chocolate when you walk in - amazing. I did a quick jog through the candy store and vowed to take my granddaughters here during their next visit. Next ordered lunch: chicken BLT which was so fresh. Bacon was crispy and they remembered to not add guacamole. Next came the sundae: their list in-house of flavors that are made on site doesn't match the online list (butter crunch ) but the substituted butter pecan was delicious. My only complaint of the day was that the rich, flavorful butterscotch sauce was room temp and not at all heated. All staff were friendly and attentive. Everything felt nostalgic which was so nice. I'll be back.“

“Amazing flavors! I had a coffee, chocolate and Goats milk caramel!! so decadent !Another had Cardamom, Saffron & Pistachio, delicate, and floral, so good! Excellent homemade ice cream,with unusual flavors, but also the regular flavors. A must try this summer!“
