Somerset Creamery, Somerset, MA. Its ice cream, atmosphere, and the smell of freshly made waffle cones.

Rota Spring Farms in Sterling. The BEST homemade ice cream ever! The Indian pudding ice cream is like Autumn in a cone. Plus, the have goats to pet, and the belted Galloways meandering in the field next door. Better than Kimballs, and I like their Indian pudding ice cream better than Sundae School's (gasp). But if you're on the cape, Sundae School is still the place to go. And I wonder why I'm not losing weight...

Meadowlands in Tewksbury. Atmosphere used to be better when it was just a field behind, instead of Mcmansions, but the ice cream is terrific.

Crescent Ridge in Sharon, MA. So many flavors one as good as the next but the Orange Pineapple Ice Cream is a definite standout! And there's nothing like a nice ice cold glass of their milk from a glass bottle. And they will gladly deliver it to you!

Boston: Toscannini's. Hands down.
North: Benson's in Boxford. Two words: Wild Raspberry.
South: Wood's in Westport. So what if it's Gifford's? It's GOOD.

Rich Farm's ice cream in Oxford, CT! Great ice cream, ample seating, and you can go visit the cows that make the milk that makes the ice cream that you're eating while you're there!
Creative flavors (a favorite is Cookie Monster, homemade vanilla ice cream dyed blue with huge chunks of homemade chocolate chip cookies in it.) Totally worth visiting if you are in that part of CT!
