22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manchester

“Update... the owner contacted me and made it right...and explained they are closing for the season and used hard ice cream and we're out of soft serve so it was made differently than normal.......I ordered the mix up from the drive thru window and it came out like a milkshake not like a blizzard. It was 8.47 just to throw it away because who wants to have that? gross.!!“

“Definitely a fun ice cream shop and one of my go-tos! I’ve been here on multiple occasions and always enjoy it. The creations that they come up with are definitely nothing I could think of with the combinations of flavors that flow together. Their options to make your own creation is plentiful and the cost is very reasonable. Then to top it off with friendly staff and owners, you can’t beat that. Don’t wait to check them out!“

“Super cute ice cream shop. Has dairy free soft serve and milkshakes, which is such a rare thing! The dairy free vanilla soft serve tastes so much like real soft serve (which I haven’t had in almost a decade due to finding out I’m allergic) but now I’m not missing out! Delicious! Staff is super friendly, very clean dine in area, portion sizes are huge for the price!“

“tried mango ice cream, mango coconut ice cream, tequila ice cream and all soooo good. lots of unique flavors that you dont see in other ice cream shops. also if you go you NEED to get the horchata it might be my favorite thing i got from there id drink their horchata instead of water if i could. and not sure of exact hours or days but when i went over a weekend they had a food truck out and i got 2 steak tacos with js the cilantro and onion and they were so so good and very affordable too. next time im probably gonna try the quesabirria which id imagine is even better !!! if youre in the area you neeedddd to go here !!!!!!!! staff is so so soo kind and patient and offer countless samples, even kinda insisting you try more flavors even if you have one picked already. atmosphere was very nice and friendly and supportive too, the one lady who i believe is the owner treated customers as if her own family and was very sweet. fs would recommend. i was sad when the coffee shop that used to be at this location had closed but im so glad it got taken over by such a nice place!“

“REALLY, really good ice cream! It is worth a trip to the East side of town.You will certainly find a flavor you can enjoy and indulge in a variety of toppings. Take home pints are also available for those late night munchies! I highly recommend Sweet Willows.Parking: Easy access to parking from East Prospect road.“

“Everything about the Masonic Village Farm Market is fun. The expansive pick-your-own orchard (pears, peaches, apples, and pumpkins) is an annual family event for us. We visit the indoor market store year-round for produce, baked goods, and meat. There is a counter service Cafe here too. Beautiful setting in the country.“

“I placed my order through the app Tuesday and scheduled for pickup on Wednesday for 530 pm when I arrived and let them know I'm here they said the molton cookie would be another 10 minutes and she could make me the chocolate cookie with the strawberry cream cheese icing I was fine with that I said I would rather know that the cookies are fresh and not sitting and stale like my experience with Taylor Chip cookies over the weekend they said you just heat them up to be ooey-gooey I dont like my cookies stale or heatedx up to be fresh with tat being said, I was happy with the girl that waited on me was friendly, helpful she assured me that cookies were made fresh and they were making more cookies when I went back to pick them up after doing some shopping at Hobby Lobby. I couldn't resist but to try the chocolate cookie with the strawberry cheese it's very yummy and tasted freshly made I'm truly happy it's Valentine's Day so it was a nice treat. Thank you Crumbl cookies as I will ordering more cookies soon .“

“Becks ice cream is a favorite in our house (seriously, it’s the best!)—and now it’s also a favorite for our 150+ closest family & friends too! We’re so glad we hired Becks to bring their ice cream trailer to our wedding for dessert—including a ice cream cake for us to cut. Not only was it delicious—but it was a true experience for us and our guests! Thank you DeAnna + team!“

“LOVE this location! The Oreos always taste like double stuff! MORE blizzard flavor options are posted on the wall-this is something no other DQ offers! Seating outdoors is available out front or out back, great atmosphere either way! They're also open year-round.“

“Words can not explain how great this place is. The food is beyond delicious, the staff is always so friendly and welcoming, the owners make you feel like family as they will engage in conversations about how your day is going. I've been coming to this place since they first opened back in the square of Manchester and have been following them as they moved to new locations.“

“Five stars for the best shoe house I've ever seen!Built in the 1940s, this stucco shoe structure has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and currently you can rent it to spend the night there. There is a fence and the gate was closed so we viewed it from the road and I was surprised to hear how many rooms are in the shoe, since it felt smaller than that from a distance.Mahlon Haines went out on a marketing limb and built it to promote sales for his shoe store business, and I have to think it's a shoe-in for a unique place to stay.“

“Booked for a corporate reward day and they were fantastic! They brought the truck on site with lots of options (even sugar free, and vegan/dairy free!!). They were great to work with and the communication was wonderful! We highly recommend and hope to book again next year!“

“There is two great snow spots in York, one on the west end and this one on the east end. One thing that makes this one better is that it's open year round. Plenty of flavors to choose from. I always seem to try a different one each time. Have to stop any time I'm out on this end, which isn't much unfortunately. Nothing better on a hot day, heck even a cold day.“

“We go here once in a while. It’s very good ice cream, and other stuff, like waffle cones, brownies for the sundaes, it’s all good. It’s been a staple of the area for a long time, and the desserts are always great. My only warning is that they are often busy and it can be a very slow-moving line. If you’re willing to wait, it’s a great local ice cream shop to try out!“

“Always delicious ice cream and a friendly experience! My kids love this place and it's a total bonus that there is a mini golf place right next door so you can just walk over! I love that they always top the ice cream with a little hard pretzel because it gives you that sweet & salty experience!! Thank you Bill Mack!“

“I never leave reviews but for this place I'll make an exception. So I've never been to this location I always get mine at the farmers market on Fridays, it's so fresh, they have so many flavors & it's so delicious. I completely recommend it & the prices are nice too.“

“Amidst a pandemic, we as consumers are making decisions for where we are comfortable shopping and spending our money. I haven't been to many in the past three months but those where I have, I want to recognize how they've supported their customers. In short, I showed up on a very hot Saturday (July 4th) and was met by a nice young woman who helped me quickly and with care of social distancing (plexiglass, offering to take napkins myself, etc). I ended up dumping two of my gelatis before getting them into my kids' hands in the car and only one was salvageable. The manager was kind in replacing for free. Thanks and keep up the excellent customer service. A bad interaction at this time can send consumers away forever. We go out for customer service, ease and a great experience and you delivered that!“

“I took my son there for ice cream after his dentist appointment yesterday. The man at the window was incredibly nice and let my kiddo chatter away. Of course the ice cream is always delicious. ? Love taking him there at least once a month for a special treat.“

“Rita's is one if my favorite places for a summer treat. Their employees were training the last time I went but they were very polite and made my order perfectly. They also now offer flavored custard that I onky just found out about. It's so good.“

“There's always a long line at this Rita's and that shows just how popular it is. I'm an occasional customer there. The workers are always friendly and they're as fast as can be. The Swedish fish flavored ice is the best thing Rita's ever created imo. Great place to go when it's a hot day.“

“Our server, Anna, did a great job! Between all of the other tables that needed to be attended to, she still made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. The staff is really nice, which helps make the experience even more better. Let’s face it, that’s why it’s called Friendlys! Come and enjoy the food and service. Good job Anna!“

“It's been a good while, and I miss Rita's !! Swedish Fish Galeto with Vanilla Custard and Sprinkles, is my ultimate Fave ..yummyThe strawberry cheesecake concrete is delish too ! Go give them a try before their closed for the season.“
