Best Place Ever Gelato and sorbetto can't be topped. Maybe in NYC or Italy. Pastry, espresso, cool old guys for regulars scartching tickets and making you laugh, the workers are never ever grumpy and the owner is on point and remembers what you usually get. Though that could be just me he remembers. I go there way too often. GOING TODAY!! read more

nice little find close to home I'm not reviewing the gelato which was EXCELLENT. I am reviewing the millions of spiders hanging around the front entrance. OMG it was unbelievable Please power wash the front PLEASE !!! But if you don't mind all the creepy crawlers or if you stay Inside You will be pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors !!! I will update if they clean up their act.... read more

It's amazing the Gelato is so creamy and delicious. So excited to have our cake we ordered for my moms birthday. Has never let us down!

I have known the owner for a while and he is the nicest person ever. But i visited the store for the first time last week. My thing is Tiramisu cake, I try Tiramisus everywhere I can. So I tried their Tiramisu and I can safely say that theirs is the best by far. Just because it's the easiest on your stomach if you eat it in large quantities)). But it's oh so delicious. Strongly recommend their Tiramisu. Now i'm going there every weekend. read more

Wonderful gelato shop in the heart of downtown Newburyport. Best gelato we've ever had. So many fun as well as classic flavors, in which you can taste the real natural ingredients. Very smooth texture. They give huge scoops and you can mix flavors, leading to some amazing and creative combos. Comes with little spoons to make eating it easy. Highly recommended. read more

I took my baby as well as the little girl that I babysit here. It is a fantastic spot with plenty of parking. We wanted to check this ice cream spot out because it offers dairy free sorbetto. Delicious creamy and beautiful selection of gelatos, sorbettos and pastries. I don't remember the man's name that works there, but he does a fantastic Donald duck impression that you should ask about. read more

Excellent gelato worth the wait on line. Very good choices and great customer service.

Great variety of flavors to choose from. Satisfy all types of people. Amazing employees. Highly recommend

Love this place ... simply the best gelato (or ice cream) around! So many great flavors to choose from, but ask about some of the special, hidden ones. My very favorites are Spicy Chocolate and, available now for only a short time, Very Cinnamon. Try them! read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - a cup of coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Great place! One of the only places in the Merrimack Valley to even get gelato! They make it right on site and have different flavors every day. And they have seasonal flavors too, pumpkin spice around Halloween, cranberry near Thanksgiving, candy cane and gingerbread for Christmas. All of their ingredients are very fresh, there are practically whole strawberries in the strawberry! My personal favorite is the Nutella, it tastes just like it. They just recently starting opening up in the morning and they have Italian coffee, cappuccino and espresso. And they're open late on Friday and Saturday nights too. The two guys that own the store are really nice and they'll always let you try as many flavors are you want. I think it's about $3.00 for two scoops which I think is a pretty good deal. Stop by sometime, it's right off 495's Pleasant Valley exit on the way to the Loop, right next to Perro's Italian Bakery. It'll be worth your while! read more

Gelato is not something you should bother with if not done well. That said, Dolce Freddo Gelato does gelato exceptionally well. I live locally and have been going for years. Just had a late lunch at Fusion House across the street and realized I haven't had my gelato fix in way too long so away we went. I am in agreement with just about everyone about the great help here. I do want to say that when you become a regular (and you will) Bob will remember you and that's always a nice feeling. I always have to try the new flavors and usually get a 2 scoop so I have to make sure the flavors won't be disagreeable when combined. They always let you try the new flavors which is a huge plus. The pistachio is one of my fave's and I was pretty sure I was going to get it but then I tried the eggnog (yummmm) and the Almond (with huge pieces of hazelnut in it) and decided those would get along well. Among my other top picks would be mascarpone (trust me), bacio, black raspberry and pumpkin. I find the chocolate a bit too sweet but that doesn't limit my choices. The cappuccino hits the spot on a cold night. The froth will last til the bottom of the cup. read more

An unexpected treat in Methuen: good gelato...and the people are great. The guy who works the weekend late nights is so friendly and accomodating. You wanna taste ? You get a taste. You like ? No ? Try annudder flayvah. The decor is bright and cheery, very nicely done. You can sit outside if you want. You can get an espresso too. And: it's open in the WINTER until 9pm. And the tasting spoons come in cool colors. Don't ask me why, but I really like that. Very old-school, and worth a trip. read more

Went here for the first time today after reading such great reviews. Totally lived up to the expectation and then some. Brought my 1 year old daughter and they had perfect flavors for her. I got her the banana gelato which was perfect, not too much sugar, and she loved it! I tried the black raspberry gelato, and was by far the best black raspberry I've EVER had. Yes, ever! Not only was the gelato delicious, but the customer service was great too. They went out of their way to make sure you had everything you needed. They also let you sample plenty of flavors. On a mom note, I like that I was able to fit a stroller in there, and they also have high chairs available. read more

5 stars is well worth it for this little gelato place. I'm a total ice cream girl but this place would totally convert me. Sample as many flavors as you want, which you most certainly will want to. They have such an incredible assortment that it made the decision a painful one. I opted for classic chocolate, bacio (which is chocolate hazelnut, think Ferrero Rocher), and coffee oreo. It was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced, comparable to an ice cream joint (...because isn't gelato usually more expensive?) Friendly staff, cute little place to enjoy your gelato. Ugh, SO GOOD. read more

Hands down my favorite place to get dessert. Who needs regular ice cream or frozen yogurt when you can have gelato? Every single flavor is creamy and delicious. My favorite is Berry Good. You must stop by Dolce Freddo if you're in the area and taste the best gelato in all the land :) read more

LOVE THE GELATO - great flavors & they let you try Incase you don't like. Clean inside, organized !

Dolce's is a small, yet delicious gelato shop located next to Piro's Bakery in Methuen. The serving sizes are generous, and they offer a variety of flavors (the low-fat triple berry was great!), although a few more fruit-based flavors wouldn't hurt.. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available, although there can be a lot of spiders that reside by the outdoor seating. The best part is that they're open late, even during the week! A friend and I stopped by at 10 pm, and the store owner was very kind and welcomed us in, even as the store was closing. Definitely check this place out. read more

Best gelato around. All flavors are made onsite. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion. Plenty of seating and friendly staff and owner! read more

Best place ever I went here a week ago & it was my first time the lemon gelato was so good I was craving it today went back once again an got the same thing it's the best 5 stars read more

This place totally lives up to the 5 star rating on Yelp and it's worth the drive from wherever you are. It's a small-ish shop, but they have an incredible variety of flavors. The staff are super friendly will give you as many free tastes as you want without judging you, well maybe silently judging you. The small size is plenty big enough and you can mix a few flavors. They also have these awesome to-go containers if you want to be a hero and surprise your family with some amazing gelato. read more

I sure do love this place! They serve some pretty delicious gelato here!! On the left side are the fruity gelatos, and to the right are the nutty gelatos. So far, I 've tried Very Berry, Passionfruit, Mango, Strawberry, and Black Raspberry, and they're all pretty good. My least favorite of out of the list would be the black raspberry, since it has a bit of an unexpected milky taste to it. But otherwise, everything else I've tried is on point. The people who work here are also super sweet and nice. It's just a wonderful environment in general. I'll be sure to drop by and try out more flavors! read more

Fabulous gelato with a large (76 flavors) selection that will satisfy any flavor palette. They also have several other dessert options such as tiramasu. The owner is from Italy and ran a gelato shop there for two years prior to coming to America. This establishment has been open for seven and one half years. It is a smallish shop easy to miss in a small strip mall but well worth the effort to find it. They serve the gelato in three sizes; one scoop, two scoops and three scoops. There is not much size difference between the options. The gelato is very flavorful and it is evident that only the best ingredients are used in its preperation. A must for a weekend afternoon cool treat. They are open all year. read more

I never really had gelato before Dolce Freddo, but this stuff is damn good. I prefer to come here for gelato than go somewhere for ice cream. Ok, I live about 1/4 mile from this place so it's nice to take a walk here in the evening and get some gelato during the summer. My favorite flavor is tiramisu, but even plain old vanilla has tons of flavor. They also serve tiramisu which is the best I have ever had. It is larger and cheaper than say getting it at Olive Garden plus it is much better. read more

I have a friend from Italy who I brought here and she said of any gelato she's ever had in this country, this place is the absolute closest to what she has had in Italy. Anytime I go here I get the largest container, load it up with several of my favorites and have it for days at home. Best gelato I've had. read more

Ok, this was some delicious gelato. The gelato portions were generous. The price was extremely reasonable, and all the flavors I tried were amazing. The venue was pretty popular on a wednesday night, but the wait was minimal. Honestly people were still slowly trickling in even after they were supposedly closed, but the staff here happily made sure they were all taken care of. Wish there was a place like this back in San Diego. read more

Ice cream is officially over for me. If I am within 20 miles of Dolce Freddo Gelato and someone wants ice cream, I am driving them here for an education in what creamy, frozen deliciousness can be. I have tried the vanilla, chocolate, strawberry creamsicle, pistachio, pumpkin, mocha chip, tiramisu, and bacio gelatto. I've also had the blood orange sorbetto. Of all these, the pistachio was my favorite, the mocha chip, bacio, & pumpkin close seconds. The sorbetto was also great, but I prefer creamy dairy to fruity confections. My co-worker brought in a few 16-scoop coolers as a gratitude gesture and my whole office could not have been more impressed. We were buzzing about it for a half hour and I was compelled to bring my wife to the shop the weekend following. The shopgirl was a high school senior and she was very helpful, attentive, gave suggestions and was genuinely interested in us having a great experience. I am usually underwhelmed with service received from part-timer adolescents these days, but this was a happy surprise. Remember: gelatto has half the fat of ice cream and double the flavor! read more

Good quality the gelato north of boston??? Amazing. Staff that is SUPER friendly and nice??? An extra perk! has to be some of the best service I have received anywhere First time I was there, the staff took extra effort to explain all about Gelato: the history of the Methuen location, how Gelato is made, the machines, all the flavor and products they have... and then they let me try as many samples as I wanted- SCORE!!! Seriously, the introduction was crazy detailed, better than some food/brewery tours I've been on! It was a 'gelato experience' for sure! The Gelato itself is amazing, as the other reviews state. Lots of options for flavors, lots of seating available. Open year round. Supposedly really good hot chocolate (although I have yet to try myself). I was also very impressed with their 'take out'. We ordered a several scoops for the freezer. They packaged it in the nicest foam container that made the gelato stay fresh for at least a few weeks- I'm sure it could have lasted longer, but we were hungry!! read more

I've been going there for years. Nowhere have I had as good Gelato as at this place. The pistachio and mango flavors are my top favorites, needless to say, 80% of the flavors are absolutely delicious. The Gelato at Tuscan market doesn't even come close to Dolce Freddo. I usually take home an 8 or 16 scoop, or the Gelato cakes for birthdays. Recently tried the Affogato and became addicted to it. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable for the quality. 5 stars all day at every aspect. read more

Found this place through Yelp and went with my mom. SO GOOD! Awesome guy at the counter that was really informative. I had never had geloato before and this just did it for me. I LOVE it now. A lot less perservatives than ice cream and it isn't as heavy or sweet. My mom loved it as well. YUM. read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - 1 scoop and 2 scoops! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Loveeeee this place! The gelato is so good and so much better for you. There are so many flavors that change often. The staff is so helpful and nice! They help you pick out flavors when you don't know what to pick. They also let you sample as many as you want so you can pick what you like. I've never gotten anything else there besides the gelato. They sell soups, fraps, and other dessert goods. Also, even though they take credit/debit card, they added an extra $1 to my purchase. (I didn't really notice at the time). So bring cash if you care about getting charged the extra dollar. read more

Best place to get gelato in the area. The customer service is great and the gelato is even better. The staff greet you as soon as you walk-in and suggest the newest flavors. You can taste the different flavor and I always do, even though I always order the same ones. My favorite is the blue monster and I order it every time I'm there. I just wish they bring the Passion fruit flavor because it is one of my favorites. read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

I have been here many many times. The first time I came here I was apprehensive since the only other time I had had gelato it wasn't that good. Once I tried my first sample, I was sold. From the one scoop all the way up to the brownie sundae or gelato cakes, you can't go wrong here. As for the post saying they got charged and extra $1, I have always paid with my card and have never had an issue with being charged extra. read more

I've been coming here since high school with my parents and everytime is a great experience. I'm happy now I can share this place with my husband and daughter! We love the people here, always kind and willing to help!! This place is awesome all year around!!! read more

Being just a one minute walk from here, I think this place opened before I moved to Los Angeles prior to summer of 2005 or around that time or slightly after. I never stepped inside until I was home on a visit the past week and I always wanted to check it out for years! My parents had been in there once, I believe, when they first opened years ago, and remembered the owner (It was some Italian name and I believe he was from Italy) when he was interviewed on RAI Italian network TV for the place the past year or so. I was surprised at how many selections they had of gelato! There are so many! I think they give samples but I asked for a small cup and if they take ATM and didn't mind not sampling. The owner gave me a small cup for no charge! read more

I went here for the first time recently and after standing in front of the case for about 5 minutes I tried a scoop of the Nutella gelato. Amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors! read more

Cute Italian Gelato with a couple outdoor seats. Tons of flavors, accepts credit cards and absolutely delicious. Definitely recommended for a summer night treat. read more

This was an awesome place. My in laws took me and my family here and then Gelato are rich. The hazelnut and espresso tastes really good. My wife loved the three flavors she picked. And my kids had big smiles on their faces. I would definitely come back again. I would give this place 10 stars if possible. read more

Best gelato ever! I'm always on the hunt for great ice cream place and Dolce Freddo is the best I've ever had. They have so many amazing flavors and it's always a tough time choosing what to get. My favorites are Creamsicle, Chocolate, and Espresso Bean. I also love the homemade tiramisu, another guilty pleasure of mine! And I tried the creme brulee for the first time the other day and it was delicious! The girls even fresh torched sugar on top to give it that signature top. Love love love! read more
