Peak summer days they leave 1 kid to work by himself. 10-12 person line.. one kid taking orders and making every ice cream. Meanwhile 7 or 8 employees insides behind at the Mikes counter (believe they operate both)... go help the kid. Everyone in line noticing and complaining. Myself and another person left read more

Very very rude to us tonight. I get off work at 9, Breakers closes at 9:30. We arrived at 9:15 for a shake. The guy was cleaning and looked pissed to see us. As soon as my husband opened his mouth to order, he shook his head and very aggressively said "No frappes!" It was very clear to us he just didn't want to make it for us because he had cleaned. Listen, as someone who worked in food service, if you advertise that you don't close until 9:30, you make what the customer asks for and clean the machine again. We will never be returning to Mike's or Breakers again. Which is a shame because I liked the pizza a lot. read more

This place is attached to Mikes which has a huge menu and lots of food options. (Hope to try someday) They have a decent size parking lot. It is March and they didn't have the outside window open to order and only one kid working the ice cream stand. After seeing the line of a nice warm sunny Saturday you would think since they have lot of all the staff on the line one would hop over the help the kid. Stood in an awkward line for a bit inside kind of overage of the food counter. Soft serve in a waffle cone w/sprinkles and richies ice slush was like $10 a little steep but I guess what isn't now a days. They have delivery options as well like doordash, uber, grubhub if interested. read more

No half gallons of pre packed. $6.65 for a small business ice cream cone? You've got to be kidding!!!

Stopped at Breakers after dinner at Polcari's to satisfy our sweet teeth. Having an Original Bailey's Hot Fudge sundae from my youth on my mind and not having found a great hot fudge sundae in SoCal for a while, I ordered one and it was very adequate. One of our group is lactose intolerant and ordered the sorbet. He said it was the best he'd ever had. WE all had a taste and agreed that it was very good. They didn't skimp on the portions and the ice cream selection was terrific read more

Wonderful ice cream. A small is too big for me. Kiddie size is perfect. I take my daughter her a couple times a week. She loves the "death by chocolate " I'm a big fan of the totally turtle. Very flavorful, delicious. read more

Excellent service, portions, outside dining, cleanliness and people!! Highly recommended this gem!!

The ice cream was delicious! I got a peanut butter sundae with chocolate chip ice cream. Yummy! Highly recommend

My friend and I got ice both got a cup of ice cream each. Each cup had two scoops of two different ice creams. Unfortunately, you couldn't taste the difference between three. The ice cream was flavorless, freezer burned, and full of air. My 75-year-old friend said that they were selling crappy ice cream at premium prices. Save $: Nanabettes is better and cheaper. read more

First time here with my lovely lady and she always claimed the best ice cream when we came to visit her family but never went until today. I got the soft serve cone dipped in chocolate. Basically everything you'd want in a soft serve cone. Great texture, large portion, hard chocolate shell. Not too bad on the price either. You get A LOT. I would definitely suggest the kiddie portion. It's plenty. One disappointment is the locals said if you ordered sprinkles, they used to put them on the bottom of the cup and then ice cream and then add more sprinkles. Today, just sprinkles on the top. Maybe there is a sprinkle shortage....... We'll be back. read more

Breakers Ice Cream - Small is like a large anywhere else - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

Used to go there all the time. Priced have skyrocketed and portions have decreased greatly. The outside windows were great but now they're closed every time I go there. read more

During the miserable COVID summer of 2020 when there wasn't a whole lot open and much to do this place was a staple for me. Without much to do I took rides and got ice cream where I could find a place open. This, like other ice cream places, has outdoor service windows so was open. I usually sat outside or in my car and of all the places I tried this was the best. Huge portions, good service, tasty ice cream thank you Breakers for providing a respite during a terrible time. As I said, I tried numerous different places just for something to do and this was the place I kept returning to. read more

Not sure how you screw up a sundae with a whopping 2 toppings, but this place somehow pulled it off. Ordered 3 sundaes for my family and every single one was not correct. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM THROUGH DOORDASH. You'll regret it. read more

Tonight I went to breakers moose and ordered a kiddie moose tracks and paid $5.09. I was the only person in line and the girls behind the counter seemed to take a while but I did not think much of it as I was in no rush. They called my order "kiddie moose tracks" after a few minutes and I took the cup and went to my car. As I drove off I realized that the ice cream was not moose tracks but they put vanilla ice cream in a cup with small Reese's peanut butter cups. I was dissatisfied and disappointed. I wish the staff told me that they were out of moose tracks if that were the case as I would have chosen another flavor. read more

Breakers Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

Delicious Ice cream and frozen yogurts! Nice people, and parking lot is huge too. Need to have more picnic table outside as there were only two of them. Love that they have many Ie cream flavors! It opens all year round. read more

Breakers Ice Cream - Ha big mess lol - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

Solid spot for some ice cream, and compared to some of the prices out there this place is a charity. Not a bad scene, unless you have a deathly fear suburban youth-- in that case this place is not for you. Theys got benches, theys got picnic tables, theys even got billiards inside. Here's a hint: get a kiddie cone/cup, it's bigger than a Ben & Jerry's 2 scoop and costs under $3.50. It's legit. read more

I'm not sure why people are complaining about waiting on line for ice cream during the summer. That's just what happened because its hot and everyone wants ice cream during the summer. I have not found the staff to be anything but nice and generous in their portions. Truthfully come there with a smile be nice to them and I guarantee they will be nice to you. Their ice cream is awesome great location huge parking lot. what more could you want? read more

This place is insanely expensive and gives way smaller portions than they used to. Avoid until they get their act together. Ice cream tasted dece. But just go to the store and buy a half gallon. read more

I stopped by here for ice cream and there is a huge parking lot with many spots. The menu selection ranged from soft serve, italian ice, ice cream, sherbet, sorbet and sundaes. I got a kiddie ice cream (coconut chip with almond joy) and the portion was huge for a kiddie ($4.25). I would rather have less ice cream and it was alright. It didn't stand out to me and the customer service was lacking read more

Probably the snobbiest rudest group of young women that I have ever taken $4 from me. There were 5 young girls on and not a single one acknowledged the patron in front of me or me while I waited listening to them complain about how the deserved a raise (no word of a lie). The bleach blonde fair skinned girl that ignored me and the other patrons the entire time felt the need to come over, point and roll her eyes to tell me that the pick up window was elsewhere. I hope that their aspirations aren't huge, because with attitudes like that - they're guaranteed to find themselves unemployed. I'll make sure to get to Nanabette's before they close next time. read more

I ordered a hot fudge sundae with black raspberry ice cream and marshmallow. The ice cream portion was generous, too generous in fact. It left no space for the toppings. I ended up with a scant crosshatching of drizzled hot fudge and marshmallow, completely out of proportion to the mountain of ice cream. As a result, no more than the first few mouthfuls could be considered a sundae, the rest was just ice cream and too much of it. The staff was friendly and service was timely. The flavor and consistency of the ice cream was also good. But if I had wanted just a bowl of ice cream, that's what I would have ordered. Back to finding someplace else local for my sundae fix. read more

phone number listed is wrong and goes to a residence but breakers is open and must have changed their phone number. the phone number listed is my phone number and i am letting breakers know of this read more

Excellent home made ice cream! You can taste the difference. Staff was friendly and helpful. Be prepared they take cash only! Would definitely visit again! read more

I just love this place. We go too often and indulge in their delicious ice cream. They're also good with handling food allergies. We have a nut allergy and they open new containers, use new scoops and have separate containers of jimmies and toppings. read more

An old local favorite- can't beat the taste or the price, and the portions are HUGE. Save yourself a couple cents and get a kiddie; you'll get the same amount as a small. Unfortunately, they're always understaffed. Therefore, there is always a long line. Oh and they only accept cash... read more

I took my Godson here today and the ice cream was phenomenal!! I had the kiddie choc/ vanilla soft serve and OH MY GOODNESS it was amazing!! Best I've ever had! I will be back! read more

GREAT ice cream. But unfortunately we've gone the past 2 days and ended up leaving without ice cream because the line was so long and only one girl at the window. The day before we went but everything was gone. Again, great ice cream but they clearly don't know how to run a business. read more

Be prepared to spend a few minutes perusing the menu board. There are a lot of ice cream and yogurt choices. This is an old-fashioned and value-oriented shop. This is down home ice cream at a good price. read more

Breakers has been the go-to place for ice cream in the Woburn area for many years now. They have a wide selection of flavors. It's 'homemade' in so much as they offer Richardson's ice cream (so not made on site). The good: you get an enormous amount of ice cream for a bargain (the kiddie size equates to a small elsewhere). They also have great shakes. The bad: their ability to stock has been downright dismal the last year or so. 50% of the time that I've gone, they are out of the more popular flavors. And the last few times I've stopped in during the off-season it's gotten far worse: they have had a large list of all the flavors they are out of (at least a 1/3, if not half). It's disappointing and downright inexcusable that they can't keep adequate stock for so long. If you want to ensure you get what you want, you're probably better off taking a quick drive up to an actual Richardson's location. read more

The new owners of breakers ice cream are unaware of previous traditions. For example, when you order jimmies on ice cream, the old scoopers would put them on the bottom of the ice cream as well as the top. I came to breakers specifically for the jimmies on the bottom of the great Richardson's ice cream. With this minor change in the scooping traditions, I feel more and more people will enjoy your shop. I have been going to breakers ice cream for 15+ years. I hope to come back in the future, specifically when this is minor issue is resolved. read more

Absolutely my favorite place to get ice cream. The girls are so friendly and a great selection of ice cream

This used to be my family's favorite place to go for ice cream. Recently, however, we've had a few bad experiences. Apparently Breaker's is under "new management," and now only very select flavors are available at a time because, according to one of the servers, the new manager orders very small quantities of the flavors to save money. This is a big problem for us, because I have food allergies and can only have their soft serve, and my mother has celiac disease and has to be careful of which flavors she gets. The servers are like drawing a wild card - sometimes you'll get a really nice and friendly server, but you have the possibility of getting a rude and/or inattentive server as well. The straw that broke the camel's back for us was the last time we went. We had gotten there right before it opened and sat inside. The server said they weren't going to be open for another few minutes, so we sat down inside along with a grandmother and her two young granddaughters. As we're waiting, we notice that the server has started serving other people at the outside window. We had made our presence known earlier and we were sitting in plain sight inside, so she knew we were still there waiting. Outraged, we go outside to find a long line. We wait there and once we get to the front, the server informs us that she can't serve from the inside window, but never bothered to tell us that when we were waiting inside. When we hear the selection of limited flavors, it turns out that no soft serve is available, so I can't eat anything, and the few flavors my mother knows she can eat safely are gone as well. We vowed to never come back, as this was the third time in a row we'd had an inattentive server and/or safe flavors missing. Unless something changes, this place isn't worth coming to. read more

Cake batter is awesome! Sizes are huge! Great service & prices! However, seating was hard to find and so was the ice cream stand itself. Played great music though. Would recommend to anyone looking for some good ice cream read more

They serve Richardson's Ice Cream. Hands down one of the best ice creams I've ever had. Breakers give you your monies worth as well. With the addition of Mike's Pizza they now take credit card which is great as well. read more

Excellent homemade ice cream with giant portions! Outdoor seating with window service. They had a very limited selection of flavored, probably because the season is just getting started with warmer weather. Definitely will go back. Really interesting flavors!! read more

One of my favorite places for ice cream. I want it all the time in the summer...winter, fall & spring

Great ice cream- very rude staff. Haven't been back after an awful encounter with a young employee. Many other ice cream shops in town to choose from. read more

icecream is delicious and portions are generous!!! a kiddie size is easily comparable to most other locations medium. service is TERRIBLE. i feel myself getting angry waiting in line. key word "waiting". there are usually 6 young girls working and only 1 serving. the line could be 10 people long and no one steps up to help serve patrons. The attitude and professionalism is disgusting. they are staffed by high school girls who complain about patrons instead of working. selection: one day you go and they have 10 items available and the next they no longer have sprinkles or Frappes. it is totally hit or miss. i have seen multiple people leave before getting icecream because of the slow service and lack of icecream an ice cream shop should have: icecream read more

Ice cream, portion and price is good unless you go in the winter then the flavors are very limited. We stood at the counter for 10 minutes while the 2 girls stood there gossiping and texting. When we sat down to eat our ice cream we had to leave 5 minutes later because I didn't want my son to hear the swears the girls were saying every 30 seconds. Better to go in the summertime! read more

I love this place. I have been a customer since before it changed hands. The staff is very fast and accurate. I make ice cream as a hobby and this is a lot easier just coming here. The small sundaes are 2 large scoops of delicious ice cream. unlike some other local places I Don't have to search for the drop of hot fudge they may put on. The hot fudge and other toppings drip off. very generous portions. Don't panic if you see a large line. it moves quickly as the average time from order to eating is under 2 minutes and with many windows open it really moves fast. the outdoor seating is great but when full I usually go inside to Mike's as it is the same owner. I also frequent the restaurant "Mike's" that is attached. in many years of eating there, i only had one negative experience that was quickly resolved and i have continued to enjoy the great food ever since. Even with many other ice cream choices in Woburn, I always come here. Note there is plenty of free parking and at night the surrounding businesses are closed and their spaces are available. This is worth trying out for a real good value for your money read more
