This was easily the highlight of the food on our trip. The lemon sherbet was amazing - one of the best I've had. It was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect treat after a long day. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, and the service was friendly. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. read more

The ice cream was very creamy. My kids loved that the sprinkles were free. We got a regular size with the purple cow and lemon mousse. The purple cow (black raspberry with chocolate chips) was my favorite of the two. We appreciated the unexpectedly HUGE chunks of chocolate chips. The lemon mousse was also delicious. Neither thankfully was overly sweet or saccharine. Portions were modest. I wouldn't have minded two larger scoops for our regular size. read more

Hours were listed to be until 10p ... we got there at just before 8p and we're standing outside the window looking at their flavor board, we could clearly see people in the shop who looked out at us ... when they didn't approach the window, they pointed at a hand written sign (in the dark) that said they closed at 8p it was 8:03 at that point. Seemed lame that they wouldn't have told us sooner that they were closing or closed. Not sure whose fault it is that their hours are still listed incorrectly online. read more

Arrogant service, no prices posted, cash only, no samples. I guess they know a captive market when they see it. Kids found the ice cream okay read more

I came here a couple of times during my stay in the area. The ice cream, overall, was creamy and not too sweet. The store has a decent amount of flavors available, though don't expect an infinite variety. Service varied greatly, depending on the person at the counter. I dealt with some rude kids one trip but kind ones other times. Not a lot of choices for ice cream around, but this one's at least a pretty good one. read more

I have had 'meh' milkshake experiences the last few times I've been out for ice cream this summer. No, not here (in New York). Anyway, Lickety Split renewed my faith in ice cream shops being able to make a milkshake properly. To be honest though, the ice cream is really superb so you should probably just go for a scoop or three! There was a huge line but it moved fast. The employee taking my order was helpful in answering all my questions with the menu. I also really really love that they do not charge for sprinkles; while I don't think there are many flavors that work with the sprinkles, I do appreciate that. Some places by me charge close to $1 for sprinkles... I thought the prices were really fair and the portions were generous. Not really sure why some people are complaining about pricing...Maybe they go for ice cream at McDonald's?! read more

Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe - Milkshake (raspberry mudslide) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Best hot fudge sundae ever! Maybe it was because it was a hot day, but really the ice cream was extra creamy, the hot fudge was hot and chocolatey, the fresh made whipped cream was not heavily sweetened, just the way I like it. I can't wait to visit Williamstown again for another hot fudge sundae! read more

Went to Lickety Split and had a really disappointing experience. The girl working was extremely rude and wouldn't let my son add toppings just because the ice cream was already scooped. I hadn't even paid yet, and there was no one else in line, so it wasn't like they were busy or rushed. She just seemed annoyed to be there and made the whole experience unpleasant. If you don't like helping customers, maybe this isn't the right job. Plus, the ice cream doesn't compare to all the other great NE ice cream choices. read more

Lickety Split is always the answer after a long summer day. Some of the best icecream in Williamstown and place to hang outside to eat. Prices are a little expensive if you compare it to a tub of ice cream you could get from a grocery store, but quality surpasses what you can get at the store. They lost a star because some of their employees do not practice safe food practices and handed cones over while touching the cone rather than the paper My favorite flavors are Sunday Breakfast and Purple Cow Warning: this is a cash only business, but there is an ATM across the street read more

Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe - Pee Wee scoop of Cookie Crunch in a Waffle Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

4.5 stars 5 stars for the ice cream. It was absolutely delicious and homemade. Nice variety of flavors and toppings!! You can get all types of candy, sprinkles and syrups. I have "Happy Couple" which is vanilla ice cream with Heath bar and peanut butter cups with butterscotch syrup and chocolate sprinkles. It was soooo good. Fast service Great location with the shops around and right next to a parking lot. The only downside is there is only a small area with benches to sit. Would definitely go back!!!! read more

Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe - Happy Couple with butterscotch and a chocolate sprinkles. One scoop. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

This place was absolutely delicious. Best soft serve I've ever had. Somehow, this is much creamier/thicker than typical soft serve; it seems to melt more slowly. The flavors are all delicious; we had the Chocolate Chip, Lemon Cake, and Burnt Sugar and Butter ice creams, which were all great. We will be back here time and time again for our ice cream fixes. There is no indoor seating, but there are a couple of nice patio tables outside. The area is calm without many cars passing by, so it's a great spot to relax and eat. Value: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

Great place for ice cream. Service was great and ice cream delish! Definitely you need to stop by and get a cone or two!

Not Closed! And not to be confused with the cafe. If every campus has its go-to ice cream shop Lickety Split is Williamstown's. The purple cow is a must and I also liked the happy couple (heath bar and recees). The ice cream itself isn't the best you've ever had, but overall this cash-only spot is nostalgic (even if you've never been there before) of summer ice cream excursions and childhood. read more

Great ice cream...even though they didn't have rum raisin. And great service. Will be back next summer

The weirdest thing happened today. I ordered two scoops (regular size) of English Toffee Crunch and raspberry mud pie in a cup. When the ice cream came out the person making it said mud pie and cookies and cream. So I said sorry that is not mine because that is a cone and also I had English Toffee. This person said sorry this is cookies and cream and went to go back and fix it when the other lady taking my order came this side, grabbed the cone, and flipped it in a cup and said no THIS IS the English Toffee. I just don't know why she would lie and act like that and glad I took a picture of the cookies and cream she gave me. So weird. I almost wanted to throw it out and pay them again to make the right order, especially since they don't do samples and I really was looking forward to the English Toffee. Maybe the owners should be less strict on the workers here. Because who lies over preparing the wrong order... it's an ice cream scoop not a plate of caviar... :( read more

Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe - Cookies and Cream... not English Toffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

I visited the establishment last week and found their pricing to be quite reasonable. The quality of the product was also satisfactory.

Great little ice cream shop near the parking lot. Mud Pie ice cream! Great flavor. Hit the spot. Offered all the normal flavors as well as some unique ones- shakes, cones, waffle cones & cups. read more

Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe - Ice cream is all gone, sorry! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

This is open! Not sure why yelp says it's closed. Amazing homemade ice cream. We stopped here during our vacation and ended up coming back 4x. I also stopped in by myself on the day my family skipped ice cream after dinner because I have zero self respect. Ha! Loved the espresso chip and chocolate cherry! read more

The flavors here were very rich and delicious. The servings were big and very satisfying. The ice cream was a little more viscous than I like but overall the flavors made the day. I love the chocolate raspberry ice cream I devoured! read more

It's not closed! I had an enjoyable scoop of espresso ice cream here yesterday. It wasn't the ultimate ice cream, but my standards are unfairly high as a result of a hundred transcendent ice cream experiences in NYC. This ice cream met expectations. Had the espresso flavor been a bit more pronounced and the texture a bit softer, it would have surpassed them. What comes through primarily is the taste of the cream and sugar. There's really nothing wrong with that. In addition to espresso, I tried a sample of the burnt sugar and butter. That title makes it sound sort of complex and special, it's really just caramel ice cream. But again, not necessarily a bad thing! There is no interior seating area, it's just window service but there's a nice patio and the surrounding location is aesthetically appealing. I will likely return to try some of their wackier flavors. read more

Another great 50's dairy bar. We pulled up to a line of waiting customers. They had all three windows going and even accept credit card at one window. I was looking for a place near my hotel with great non fat soft serve. Lickity Split not only had that but they had kiddie cones and chocolate dip. The kiddie cone is that perfect craving satisfying guilt free size. Perfecto! I found the nonfat ice cream to have a lot more flavor than Kurver Kreme. I'm definitely a fan and will return again and again. read more

To reiterate, not closed! They have a good setup for COVID precautions. Burnt sugar and butter, chocolate pudding, and English toffee were all stellar. Affordable, too! read more

If you want chocolate or vanilla I'm sure you'll be fine. However, we order a cherry vanilla cup and a coconut chocolate chip sugar cone. Cherry vanilla? 1 piece of cherry in the entire scoop! Coconut chocolate chip was so soft, immediately asked for a cup. Had more than 1 chip, but....Needless to say, definitely not more than 5 or 6 pieces total. Coconut was delicious but lost with so few chips. read more

I just had the best chocolate pudding ice cream in the world. Really. And my husband's butter pecan was awesome. And they do a great job with safety and cleanliness in this COVID era. Just go. read more

The ice cream was amazing and such a reasonable price! Workers were very friendly and kind. Loved that they have color coated sprinkles. Went here with my family, great experience! read more

Returning to Williamstown for the first time in four years, I was surprised to find this Williams College staple relocated to the end of Spring Street. The new location proves to be a great one, as there is ample patio seating and much more room to wait in line...which you will, especially in the summer, because this place is so popular, and with good reason. I went twice in the span of two days, and all the flavors I tried were exquisite. The best of the bunch (besides the peanut butter mud pie--I can't ALWAYS choose the peanut butter flavor as the best, even if it's my favorite) was the maple oatmeal cookie ice cream, a sweet, creamy concoction loaded with giant chunks of chewy oatmeal cookies. Best of all, Lickety Splits delicious treats are affordable (at least compared to the obscene prices I'm forced to pay for quality ice cream in Boston), so you can feel free to treat yo self without breaking the bank. read more

If you're coming to Lickety abide by these rules: -wait patiently. There's often a line, and it's always worth the wait -don't ask how much the sprinkles are- they are free. There's also no such thing as regular sprinkles. Specify your color and you'll make your scooper happy. -purple cow is black raspberry flavor. It's good. Taste some! The ice cream here is great! It's cash only- there's an atm across the street. Great spot for kids, looking at cute dogs, and there's plenty of parking and seating nearby. read more

Totally not impressed by this new location. Beside the nice patio, the counter to order is ridiculous small, and creates a huge line. Signage and board are unclear. Plus you can't see anymore where they scoop your ice cream. I personally wanna see the frozen area and pick the flavor by seeing it! I got a scoop of purple cow (blueberries ice cream with dark and white chocolate chips) on a chocolate cone. Not impressed by the ice cream flavor, and the cone was the opposite of crunchy. It almost melt in my hand. read more

Been going here for years. The ice cream never disappoints. Emerald city and burnt sugar and butter are favorites of mine. The location is convenient in the picturesque downtown. The only negative I can think of is that they only take cash. read more

They carry Herrell's Ice Cream that comes over from Northampton. It's the best ice cream you can get for 20 miles in any direction. Chocolate pudding is the best!!! read more

Copied and pasted from a review I left on Facebook. I made the mistake of deleting the review I had left on yelp, so I'm reposting this. Decent ice cream. Terrible customer service. When we arrived the girl working the counter was spending all of her attention speaking with her friend, and took awhile to even acknowledge us. I had to move around to view the sign for ice cream flavors because her friend was blocking the view. Eventually we ordered, the chatty girl who took my order was rude, the other worker who took the other order was a tad more pleasant and scooped considerable more ice cream, even though we ordered the same thing. I was rung up by the young/ rude/ chatty girl and was trying to give her my money, but failed to notice as she was still talking with her friend. Eventually she realized that the money I held in my outstretched hand was for her to ring up. At the end of the interaction there was no pleasantries on her end, such as "thank you for stopping by." Just her returning to the conversation with her friend. I can buy the same quality ice cream elsewhere without having to deal with teenage angst, because working at an ice cream shop is apparently so hard and terrible. Update: I was about to delete this review after I received an apology via fb messenger from the girl who said she was working the night I came in. I thought it would be easy to find my review because I was the first and only person to leave a review on fb. After finding this page I saw there were a total of 10 five star reviews for this establishment, all written the same day as my review starting with the hour past I had written it. I noticed that one of the reviewers was the very girl who messaged me an apology saying she works there. I'm only assuming all of the other reviewers either work there or are friends / family with the owner. Like I said, I was about to delete my review until I saw this. I would have accepted a heartfelt apology and a promise to strive for better. I too worked when I was younger and cringe when I think about some of my customer interactions when I was young. I grew up and learned. But after seeing all of the other reviews I'm going to make an assumption that instead of making amends, the owner or manager decided it would be better to make fake reviews for their establishment. They should know better. read more

Get the purple cow ice cream! It's black raspberry with white and black chocolate chips, and it's a Williams classic. Lickety Split also offers free sprinkles on every cone, and the smoothies are delicious. Great local summer place, and they stay open until 10 during the summer so there's plenty of time to get your ice cream fix. Another of those Williams bucket list places that you must try. read more

Delicious and incredible ice cream....unusual flavors! Don't visit Williamstown without this experience

Really awesome ice cream! I loved the employees, and the ice cream! The ice cream is creamy and thick. Great ice cream, great people.

This place isn't closed, just relocated down the street a bit! Selection is relatively small compared to most ice cream places but they're all favorites or seasonally focused so I'm ok with having less to debate over! I mean, Berryline only has 4 flavors of their signature froyo at any given time so who says that this place needs more flavor options! Another bonus of this place? They serve the ice cream up at the perfect temp! This is huge. You don't need to wait for it to warm up to truly enjoy it immediately. Anyone else leave out pints of B&J's to get that perfect consistency? This stuff is already there... Love this place! I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. Side note: I got a milkshake that was a little more milk than shake. Good but a little too milky too fast (aka essentially immediately) read more

We were so in the mood for ice cream, and really was only to find this place in town. The place had a nice patio for sitting and it was a beautiful day. The ice cream flavors were plentiful, yet nothing really seemed interesting. I finally went with the vanilla and chocolate chip. The texture was a little gummy, and not a lot of flavor. The dark chocolate was good though. My daughter got the black and white malt, which she said she liked. Overall, I was a little disappointed. read more

With a rotating menu of interesting and flavorful flavor combinations, and an patio seating area, you cannot go wrong.

The best ice cream you will ever have. Make sure to get toppings too- homemade whipped cream is always a good one!

Awesome! I had the purple cow on the waffle. Loved the big chunks of chocolate and macadamia.

This ice cream shop is unbelievably poor in maintenance!!! The lines tend to lead all the way onto the street, which can mean more than a thirty minute wait for ice cream! There are usually only two employees working at the shop, and they are slow to scoop or make your order. One of the employees is particularly rude, I am not going to state her name, but she was rude to me and my friends. She almost even yelled at one of my friends, which is definitely not okay as an employee of a store. read more
