My experience here was amazing! Loved how quickly Brianna took care of my family and I!

I love ice cream and this place didn't disappoint. I think the Waffle cones were made to order and Vanessa, Chiara, Lilyana and Brianna handled the inside and outside crowds fantastically. Will def return to try more of the inventive flavors next time we are in Gloucester. read more

I've heard great things about this spot and it didn't disappoint! We came here for a post dinner treat and there was no one else in the space which led to quick service and ample seating. They had a good selection of diverse flavors and portions were reasonable as well. I enjoyed the limited Wild Blueberry Pie and would definitely get it again - everything else seemed really tasty as well! If you're looking for a sweet treat in Gloucester, this is the spot for you! read more

Had the best visit today with my 4 year old. So fun with the playground across the street. Vanessa and Santana were so helpful with selecting a flavor. Thanks!!! Can't wait to come back with the rest of my family. read more

I loved my ice cream. I had salted caramel brownie in a waffle bowl. It was fantastic. You order at the window. I think maybe you only go inside during the winter, so there was not much ambiance, but it was a beautiful day outside! Thank you Chiara for being my server! I appreciate you! read more

What's not to love?! On our nice trip to the beautiful Gloucester, Mass, we decided to stop inside this lovely store, and we were wowed by their award winning flavors! The aptly named "Ritzy AF" (ritz cracker ice cream with toffee bark) knocked my socks off, and Vanessa gave us service with a smile! Cannot recommend enough! read more

Holy cow the ice cream is really good here! It's a small shop that has some tables and seating inside and a restroom (which was unfortunately unavailable the day I visited). We ordered from the takeout window by the street. There have a good variety of flavors here. Each person gets 2 samples. My favorites were the Ritzy AF (their most popular flavor, it is salted butter cracker with toffee) and Nogged and Loaded (Eggnog with bourbon, biscoff toffee, and salted caramel. The available sizes are small, medium, and large, but you can also order pints of ice cream. The ice cream is very tasty, but very sweet! read more

God tier ice cream spot. Literally finger licking good. There's always a huge line with locals and tourists alike so that's a good sign. Service was fast and ambiance was nice. What I absolutely hated about coming here is the choice paradox. Every flavor sounded amazing so you are left feeling a huge sense of FOMO for whichever flavor didn't get chosen. read more

YESSSSSS! Must Stop! This ice cream is the REAL DEAL and I claim that I'm a connoisseur. . Service was amazing. Eliana, I think was her name, and she let me try a few samples. ALL were delicious so it was hard to choose. I ended up selecting the cookie dough ice cream in a waffle bowl , but Apple Pie Ice Cream was fantastic! Truly the waffle bowl was one of the best I've ever had! It was fresh and warm. I'm so glad they were open today. read more

Holy Cow!! This ice cream is next level delicious! 10/10 would recommend. It's one of the best I have had! We had a pumpkin s'mores and a pistachio baklava. Both would so delicious! Would highly recommend if you are in the area stop in! The service was quick and great! The ambiance was nothing special but the store itself was nice and clean! Will return! read more

One of the best ice creams I've had! They had so many cool ice cream flavors like Holy Cannoil and pistachio baklava. You can get the ice cream served in a waffle cone which they make fresh on the spot so that when you get it, the waffle cone is still kind of warm. The warm waffle cone combined with the delicious ice cream was just so so good! Service is great as staffs will keep you posted on when your fresh waffle cones will be ready considering the long line. read more

A very different ice cream experience. Excellent but quite pricey. For ice cream connoisseurs like my family, it is worth it. We stopped by after having dinner with friends locally. This Gloucester locale is their original location, so they display their very large trophy for winning best ice cream in the country. They also display their flavor awards received from that contest. It's a great story. So google it and read it to understand how it started. It has a bit of a cult following. This is the 2nd time and 2nd location I visited. First I bought pints to celebrate my bd with family rather than having a cake. The service is wonderful. Shocking - they do do give tastes of ice cream. I had a taste of a pistachio baklavaa type of ice cream that I shared as it was generous and a friend chose that as his flavor. We all got smalls which are huge. I got mine in a cone, expecting a small cone and instead received a huge waffle cone that was still a bit warm. They wrapped it in paper as it dripped. I chose a flavor based on butter pound cake with a swirl of berry jam through it. It was actually too sweet for me. Yes, I ate it all. My bottom scoop was a s'mores flavor that was nice, but didn't get enough of it. Hubby got the vegan strawberry which was perhaps the best strawberry I've had, it's made with coconut milk rather than cream. He also got blueberry pie which he really enjoyed. There are a few tables to sit at, and we hung out a bit. Parking is tight especially if there is a baseball game across the street which there was on the night we were there. Location is tucked away a bit, so everyone who goes there plans to. On this Friday night, it was very busy. The line at the window was at least 5 deep so we just walked into the store to place our order right away. Check it out. It's great ice cream, really good energy there, too. VERY pricey (one small cup plus one small cone was $15!) but it is an experience, too. read more

Small casual ice cream spot which has its flagship store in Salem. They offer a lot of unique flavors including monthly specials. The staff were very nice and efficient. Any size you get can accommodate at least 2 flavors which was a great perk. March monthly specials were chocolate focused. Definitely yummy and not overly sweet. Wish there had been some more chunks in the flavors I got, but aside from that definitely would come again! read more

Disappointing after seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews! There weren't that many flavors during my visit and a lot of flavors were similar. Nothing sounded that appealing so ended up trying and ultimately choosing the Milk & Cookies. The only reason that flavor is good is because of the chunks of cookie which there was very little of in my cup! It was 90% bland ice cream. They had so many interesting flavors on their paper menu that they were out of; the employees said what they have in stock is unpredictable because it depends on shipments... I took a bite of my partner's selection and very much didn't care for it (Mintsanity). I tried the Ritzy AF on the way out which was actually way tastier than it sounded so I wish I'd gotten that one. read more

So good! $10 for medium and a waffle cone. The waffle cone was warm! Absolutely the best part. Service was friendly and quick. So good we went twice in one day. Definitely recommend. read more

ritzy AF is....crack. it's the best ice cream I've ever had in my entire life and I travel a lot and try ice cream all over the world. Pretty soon I'm going to have to find a meeting to try and quit the stuff. I will fight you if you try to share it with me.. I need to get a financial advisor to help me with the amount of money I spend every month on this ice cream. read more

Fabulous service and incredible ice cream with unique flavors that are like SpaceX. Nowhere else like this in the USA!

Great flavor variety!! Got pints of Easy Peasy, Ritzy AF and Party Animal. Line was short thanks to ROWAN at the window! Happy Memorial Day weekend :) read more

Best ice cream around. None better. SERVICE is absolutely great. Our GG son's favorite.

Eliana and Venessa were both super helpful and made our visit to Holy Cow amazing. We love this place for the ice cream of course, but the people who work there are always so nice. The best ice cream spot on the North Shore. read more

Iliana (sp) was very helpful to get our order to us fast. She took all our orders quickly and got them to us just as quick. She was helpful explaining the options to us also. Ice cream was very good. read more

On April 11; we had a terrific server named Santana, who recommended their Ritzy AF - a definite home run! And I am very particular about strawberry ice cream, so when I say this was the best I ever tried, you can take that to the bank. Big shout-out to Santana for her upbeat attitude even on a dreary weather day. I now have a new go-to place in Gloucester! read more

Ice cream flavors for six of us were all excellent. Orange cardamom was a combo I had never had before. Creamy and smooth. Server Santana was efficient, friendly, and quick. A few tables inside and out were kept clean. Line moves quickly. Great place with inventive flavors. You will love it. read more

This place deserves its 'best in the country' ice cream award. We went on a Saturday night in October, and there was a very short line. I can't imagine the lines in the summer. We had their Ritz cracker ice cream, which was amazing, along with a scoop of pumpkin s'mores. Both were excellent. They allow two tastes per person so I also got to taste the pistachio baklava, which people raved about, which I didn't think was very good. I also tasted the mint flavor which I didn't adore. We shared a single waffle cone which they heat, fold, and put a bit of chocolate sauce in the bottom for each order. You can get two different flavors, regardless of which size do you buy. This place is worth a splurge in your diet!! read more

I'm not kidding when I say I think this place has some of the best ice cream in Massachusetts, or even in New England! The quality of the ice cream itself is amazing and the flavors are inventive. My favorite was the cinnamon churro dough flavor, which had little cookie dough type bites. I also had a scoop of the cold brew oreo, which was delicious! Before ordering, the employee at the counter let me try a few flavors, none of which disappointed! The vibes at the ice cream shop are also fun, with a cute theme for the decor. Love this place, I'll be back! read more

Probably the best ice cream I've ever had, so many different flavors and combinations that I've never seen before. If you're in Gloucester, it's a must stop for ice cream. read more

They have such unique flavors. I got the award winning ritzy af and it was fantastic. I also really liked the pistachio baklava if you like nuts in your ice cream and it's not too sweet. This cafe has indoor seatings. Food: 9/10 Value: 8/10 Experience: 9/10 Service: 9/10 read more
