Great ice cream flavors. They have the basics and some specialty flavors. Little pricey, $5.25 for a one scoop, but good. It can get a bit crowded and limited seating inside. Service was a little slow as they were training a new employee. Cute place and just outside the central public parking area. read more

Ate here after a huge lunch after a 20 mile race. This was the perfect sweet ending of an obviously long day. Only tried one flavor, but would definitely try more in future. Oreo Coffee (vegan) 5/5 read more

Delicious ice cream. I got a waffle cone with cookie dough and nana pudding and it was super yummy. My friend got caramel crunch and also loved hers. They have cute little dog treats at the front by the register and the woman working was very nice. It is right on the town so it's a perfect place to stop for a treat while shopping! read more

Harbor was recommended to me by my roommate, so my girlfriend and I stopped in on a hot day. It was good, but not out of this world. We both opted for the key lime pie flavor which could have used a little more tang, it tasted more like vanilla with a hint of lime. It could also use more seating in or around the area, we ended up having to stand at the end of the block to eat. The portion sizes too, were overwhelmingly large. While I'm a sucker for ice cream, they accidentally scooped us one size higher than we paid for which normally I wouldn't complain about, but it was WAY too much food. I made sure they scooped some of it back so it wouldn't be wasted. Kudos for the great service! Overall fine, but nothing too special. read more

Holy delicious ice cream... what a delight So glad we stumbled upon this gem of a place on our very first trip to Newburyport. Great little quaint ice cream shop with a variety of different flavors and styles to appease anybody with a sweet tooth for ice cream. I was very curious about their Cold Brew Frappe which I had to go for their Pumpkin Oreo Cold Brew Frappe. And my goodness it was sublime. And a very sweet & young staff members with the biggest smiles on their faces as they serve to their patrons. A great sweet tooth experience at Harbor Creamery and cannot wait for a return visit in the Fall read more

After exploring the NH/MA coastline on a hot summer day, my family and I decided to stop by Newburyport for some ice cream. We researched on Google and found that Harbor Creamery is among the top rated ice cream shops in the downtown area. We decided to stop by and get some ice cream to cool off. My girlfriend and I wanted to try their unique Key Lime Pie flavor, I've never had key lime ice cream before. We ordered smalls and the worker accidentally misheard us and scooped a medium sized portion for us- the ice creams were too huge so we asked them to rescoop it, this wasn't a problem! The flavor itself was decent, personally I would've preferred it to be more tart/limey, it was more like a plain vanilla ice cream with a hint of lime. There unfortunately isn't anywhere to sit in the cafe so we sat outside, but it was too hot to sit outside in the summer. I'll probably give it a second chance if I'm in the area, but I'd pick one of their other flavors next time. read more

We stopped by on a Friday night and had an amazing dessert from Harbor Creamery. First off the service was super polite and professional. They were mobbed and they gave updates, they were fast, respectful and they saw the dogs outside and asked if they wanted pup cups. The girls loved these pup cups! Vanilla base with two bone treats and a yogurt treat on top. As for our ice cream, it was a huge cone and absolutely delicious. You can tell it is made onsite. They also have options to go I. Pints and larger in the coolers and there is a cooler by the door with ice cream sandwiches, mystery "shipwrecked" bags, and some additional treats. They have everything here in such a cute spot. This is worth the visit and the line! read more

Yum, yum, yum! I made the mistake of ordering the regular sized ice cream instead of the mini and wow... that thing was huge! The cup served as both my breakfast and lunch. No regrets because it was absolutely delicious. I went with the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and that thing was loaded with chunks. Kept me on a sugar high all day long! The shop is located on a cute street in the downtown area of Newburyport, so I took my ice cream and ate it as I walked around. Good local vibes at the shop, but not a ton of seating there. The employees were very sweet and didn't mind when I asked for a sample! Great ice cream and you won't leave hungry! read more

Such a decadent treat! The ice cream here is handmade and they have plenty of rich flavors. I opted for the campfire- sweet cream with chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers and marshmallow. It was absolutely heavenly. My arteries clogged immediately, but it was 100% worth ever spoonful. They have some really great seasonal flavors too, like pumpkin Oreo. Their scoops are incredibly generous. A mini-sized bowl was more than enough for me. I was so impressed by the flavors, portions and price that I'm already itching to go back! read more

We had their blueberryport and coffee ice cream which both were great. The main highlight, however, is their great service. We have a nut allergy which we informed them. The staff brought a book with the ingredient list and showed it to us to see if we were okay with them. In addition, they got clean spoons and brand new ice cream buckets to scoop our ice cream. Must visit spot!! The place has a few seats but it is a larger place so it does not feel packed when there are a lot of people. read more

Just happened to stroll by right before they closed so I got lucky! The staff member was helpful and friendly! I must mention the shop was especially immaculate wow - definitely stood out. They had a decent amount of flavors of ice cream to choose from - I opted for some cultural to New England (from what I gathered lol) - the spiced "whoopie pie". The server told me it was a spiced ice cream with pumpkin whoopie pie bits mixed in...Now, I've never had a whoopie pie and really had no idea what to expect - but this was probably one of the best ice creams I've ever had! The ice cream itself was decadently creamy with just the right amount of spice flavor - and the whoopie pie bits were soft and mellow...it was awesome! My only regret is that I wasn't able to finish it - boy do they give you a massive scoop!! I'll definitely have to try these whoopie pies someday lol! read more

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. read more

It is never too cold for ice cream! The shop will be closing for the season soon, but the holiday flavors are definitely worth a try! I had a regular with the candy cane and gingerbread flavors, and the flavors definitely delivered as advertised. The candy cane was bursting with peppermint flavor and even had little bits of candy cane blended in, while the gingerbread was full of winter spices. These flavors could go toe-to-toe with any of the famous ice cream shops on the West Coast! The gentleman working at the counter was super friendly and hard-working, and knew a lot about how the ice cream was made! The ambience in the shop was definitely on point for a cute seaside town. read more

First off - super cute shop. Loved the selection of candy, treats, and ice cream. Secondly, thank you for offering dairy free options! The night I went there were four flavors to pick from which was a pleasant surprise. Most ice cream shops only offer dairy free sorbet. I got the peanut butter & jelly and it was amazingly delicious!!! My friend got a real ice cream coffee flavored frappe and they said it was among the best frappe they've had!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Large portions and friendly staff. We were in a long line after a high school sport event but the staff quickly handled the crowd and everyone was satisfied. You can't get better than homemade ice cream. We liked it so much we returned the next day. read more

Excellent homemade ice cream! Immaculate store and very cute decor to go along with the seacoast vibe. Service is excellent and this is a local gem of a store. I tried the key lime ice cream and it was delicious! Definitely will be back! read more

Friendly place with good ice cream. Staff is friendly. The place is kept clean and neat. My concern is that the prices have gone too high. A medium bowl of ice cream was $5.50 just a couple years ago. It is now $7.00. Just isn't worth it. Go to the supermarket and get what you want! Be smahht! read more

The ice cream is very very good and the service is friendly. We loved it. Highly recommended.

My wife got the "Caramel Crunch" Ice Cream and I got the "Shark Bait" Ice cream and WOW - what a wonderful discovery this little shop is! We have been having withdrawals from premium ice cream since "Grams" closed a while back, but hadn't discovered "the Harbor Creamery" yet. It's super clean, friendly, the variety is incredible, and the quality is the best there is! Our patronage is all yours! We will follow you forever! read more

Our First visit to Harbor Creamery and we will definitely be back for more! My Strawberry cone was so fresh and creamy - it was not overly sugary which I much prefer. My kids tried a Chocolate Milk and Cookies cup with heath bar topping, and a Rip Tide cone: both got the double thumbs up. I loved the tasteful nautical decor, comfortable modern furniture and cute little touches like the bathroom door sign. Pirates welcome! read more

Seriously the best mint chocolate chip ice cream ever eaten. I'd like to call myself a connoisseur of minty ice cream and I can't help myself when it's on the menu. I order it always! This place rocked me sideways, can't even comprehend how good it was. read more

I love this place. I work next-door and will frequently go in for a coffee frappes. frappes are pretty time consuming to make, and the girls there never have a problem with it. My dad is lactose intolerant but still loves his ice cream, so right by the register they're selling little individual lactaids. absolutely hilarious and smart. every new flavor they come on with is so creative and yummy. i also love walking by and checking out their sign, there's always something new and funny out there. this place is yummy, has good prices, good ingredients, a great staff and great owner. all in all worth your visit. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Harbor Creamery and the owner, Merri-Lee. I worked here for about 4.5 years before and after college. I have worked in 5 other restaurants and none of them even come close to how pristine Harbor Creamery is. From first glance you can tell how clean it is but, as a longtime employee I know how clean the entire place REALLY is! The ice cream production process is organized to avoid cross contamination and all tools are thoroughly sanitized before, during and after the process. The aesthetic in the shop is also gorgeous... white trim, wooden floors, and granite countertops, colorful accessories. The attention to detail is not overlooked. Oh! and the ice cream is incredible. I have family and friends begging me STILL to pick up some ice cream for them. As I used to say to customers.... "we don't make anything bad so and flavor will be a good choice!" Most importantly, you want to feel good about where you shop, especially in a small town. I can confidently tell you that Merri-Lee is an honorable business owner, boss, and person. She loves to support people in need. For example her business donated to local schools, breast cancer research, and the people of Ukraine (just to name a few). I know this is lengthy but she deserves it! read more

A new favorite for sure! Clean as a whistle and delicious homemade ice cream! The caramel ice cream with bits of heath was out of this world. Kudos also to the staff who are super friendly. Five stars without doubt! read more

The creamery was very clean and the young girls working there were nice. The pricing is pretty typical for the north shore.. meaning it's a treat, not something we'd get all the time. They had many flavors available and dairy free ice cream which is all I can eat. The portions were huge. Sometimes I do wish the "kiddie" sizing at places were smaller. Overall, very impressed and would go back! read more

GLUTEN-ALLERGY FRIENDLY!! Ok firstly, this ice cream is the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted, and I've tasted many! Secondly, the staff is amazing. I have a gluten allergy, and I feel it's hard to find places that care or cater to those needs. One staff in particular, Morgan, was wonderful. She was extremely patient and helpful informing me of the gluten free-options. She took extra precaution to wash her hands, change her gloves, change scoops and made sure to get ice cream that hadn't been cross contaminated. She was AMAZING! So patient and caring, now THAT is fantastic customer service!! I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all!! read more

We went to your store yesterday around 3:00 and had an amazing experience with the service and quality of ice cream. Wanted to pass on the information and to wish you continue success during these difficult times. Your team member at the store was amazing with all customers she served while we were there. We wanted to try some maple ice cream and you had an amazing one. The blue berry was also amazing. read more

I totally went here on a whim on a cold, rainy night when ice cream made little to no sense; however: I'm glad I made the decision to go! WOW. The ice cream here is AH-MAZING. I had the ginger ice cream and it was absolutely perfect. I wish that I could be in Newburyport right now, eating it again. It had the best texture I've had in awhile. Super creamy, super delicious. If you are lucky enough to live in the area, check out Harbor Creamery: you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Always looking for a dairy free "ice cream" option and this place had about 5 options! I've only seen at the most 2 options at other places. So many people are dairy/gluten intolerant so it's nice to have those options so you can enjoy a dessert when everyone else is too! Definitely will be back! read more

This place was almost hidden - we saw people walking with ice cream and went up the street they came from and stumbled upon it. Nice selection of ice creams. Heavy on the chocolate ones but chocolate is good always so I understand that. Some had kind of iffy names that made it hard to know what the ice cream really was like Sea Salt. I assume caramel but why not have that in the name or Rip Tide which looked to be a mixture of items - would be smart to have descriptions with the names. At any rate, prices were good so we got 2 scoops. Went with the chocolate. Chocolate milk and cookies (loved it) and chocolate peanut butter (also tasty). We really liked the ice cream. They also have pints for sale and a lot of cool art on the walls for sale. I especially liked the horse canvasses, although a bit pricey. Not much of a wait despite a line. I'd go back and try some of their other flavors. read more

Best ice cream in town right on Pleasantville St. Absolutely homemade in Newburyport and delicious original flavors! % chocolate shots from my childhood- not the plastic tasting ones (the owner knows I appreciate that extra touch). I went for my first treat this season but they were closed . Will try again tomorrow! read more

Ice cream was very delicious, nice candy selection, very friendly staff, a must have while in Newburyport!

While in a new area i was looking for a place that sold both ice cream and frozen yogurt. I came across Harbor Creamery on Yelp. First..... the price can't be beat!!!!! Even the kid size was HUGE!!!! Sad though that there wasn't any frozen yogurt or other options. The ice cream is hard. I'm just more used to creamy ice cream. This did not taste like the creamery I have at home where the ice cream is "hard" ice cream but softer texture. They did have other chocolate options that were just ok. Seems to be s big local place and there's a frequent buyer card. It was just ok but that's my opinion. read more

I really want to give HC a shoutout- the ice cream was fantastic, and the staff even more so. We went on a Saturday night, and they handled the line out the door very well - it moved just fine. My husband also has celiac, and they answered all his questions and made sure to use a clean scoop and new batch so there would be no gluten contamination. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely incredible!! 10/10 reccomend. Staff was super attentive and helpful. Overall just a great experience, my family and I will be back! Loved the ice cream and the atmosphere. Nothing can top homemade sweets and great staff read more

Really good ice cream, but service was not great. We went in 6/23/21 in the evening, and it was not busy at all--the girl who took our order was acting like they were slammed, and she was incredibly rude. Both my partner and i work in service and are very understanding of servers having a less than good day--but i would never act like she did towards a customer. So hostile and mean. read more
