The ice cream is by far the best in the area. Great assortment of flavors. The service is amazing, with the servers behind the windows always being cheerful and helpful and happy. It is always a delight to bring the dog and go for a family trip. Mad moose and black rasberry chip are our favorites. Thank you Mad Maggie's for all you do. read more

Good ice cream for the area, ok variety. Service is slow bc they only have few people taking care of the large number of customers that goes in there. Ambiance is ok , they have 3 booths were you can sit and eat in, most people do take out. read more

One of the employees was rude tonight. I don't want to go into details, but I am no longer coming here for my family's ice cream.

We love Mad Maggie's! They have a good variety to choose from and their flavors are delicious especially their specialty flavors! Candy store floor is a favorite. Their birthday cakes are always a hit too! The servers are always very nice and efficient. The line does tend to get very long especially on hot summer nights. read more

Drove almost 40 minutes out of the way home from Maine, because I had to have the Oatmeal Ice Cream. Yes it is that good. Had it last year, had to have it again. Thanks Maggie!!! read more

Summer nights are meant for icecream. Thankfully Mad Maggies is open late. Old school ice cream spot, with a line out the door. There is ample parking and some benches with cool summer breeze. They have way too many flavours so you have to try them all! I tried the coconut fudge and it was amazing! Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered a birthday cake online. The cake was amazing.! I am now the official birthday cake supplier for my family. The service was awesome. They were able to accommodate my requests and the cake was done on time. Pick up was also easy, and I love going to Mad Maggie's for great ice cream read more

My family ordered an ice cream cake from here for my daughter'a birthday and the actual cake flavor was great, it was the decorating that was mediocre. Mad Maggie's used to do such beautiful designs, so you can imagine her disappointment when we got a plain white cake rather than the design we specifically asked and tipped for. The design request wasn't even that complex, it was for the cake to be one dark color and the icing to be a contrasting brighter color. Again, at the end of the day the flavor was good but I don't think I will be making a special trip here again when it looks like something you could get out of a supermarket freezer section. read more

THIS ICE CREAM SHOP HANDS-DOWN best in the Merrimack valley! Find yourself at mad Maggie's and you will not be disappointed. They make their ice cream homemade and you get slapped right in the face with the smell of freshly waffle cones. And those waffle cones are incredible. I literally sometimes we'll just go to get cones. Perfect spot to eat ice cream outside or indoors when it is cold. The inside has super fun decor and brings you back to old time ice cream shop. The staff is always super friendly and it is always a great experience at mad Maggie's! read more

*DOG FRIENDLY* This ice cream stand has a wide variety of dairy-free ice cream which I appreciate since I'm lactose intolerant. I had the chocolate which was rich and creamy, something I don't get a lot with dairy free ice creams: But what I loved most about this place was that they give you free dog ice cream! Thor was very thrilled that he could also partake in this sweet treat read more

Bought a quart of hand packed vanilla ice cream the other day. Took a couple bites after I got home and have not touched it since. It is so gummy almost gluey. A lot of ice cream places seem to be going this route, but I have never had one as gummy as this. Maybe I've been spoiled by other locals like Carter's and Benson's but this is like stretching taffy when you're taking it out of the container. I hope it's just this batch of vanilla ice cream and does not reflect their ice cream in general. But there are other reviews here that say the same thing. read more

The sizes of the cups are pretty small compared to other places I've been, especially for the price. The soft serve tastes like watery milk flavor, no actual chocolate or vanilla. Same goes for the hard scoop of chocolate ice cream. Fudge is not sweet and is gummy. Only good part was the brownie, it was warm fudgy and had chocolate chips, decent amount of it. Service was fine. read more

Nice people great ice cream fair prices what more could you ask for Great selection of flavors and toppings read more

Such amazing ice cream and an amazing staff!! Mad Maggie's is always the place I love to go for ice cream!! The staff is always so kind and friendly and makes going there amazing every time!! With a severe tree nut allergy, the shop can easily accommodate with safety measures that makes me feel safe in going there every single time!! read more

Took my 4 year old there a month or so ago. We both got hot fudge sundaes and loved them. The staff was great and we sat nearby taking in the nice day and great ice cream. The chocolate sauce was yummy! read more

Amazing good nice organic ice cream. They have many flavors to choose from. I love it.

Best ice cream we have had in a while. Service was quick, and the spot is cute. Little places to sit. I got a pint and asked for two flavors. It wasn't a problem. We tried the rainbow sherbet and the cookies and cream. 10/10! read more

Went yesterday for an ice cream dinner. Good on hot Sunday afternoons. We both got the banana splits! Melted alot on the way home, but still a good meal. Staff was friendly & wait time was minimal. Def coming back! read more

Mad Maggie's Ice Cream - Very melted by the time we got home banana split. Very good dinner! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

the ice cream was great, as well as the service and it was very clean. i noticed they have custom ice cream cakes and sandwiches, would love to try those, easy parking and nice people! read more

Came here for the first time recently as I just moved to the area and trying to find the best local ice cream spot. The line moved quickly and the servers were friendly. I got one scoop coffee toffee and one scoop of brown sugar oatmeal. The brown sugar oatmeal was creamy, unique, and delicious. Unfortunately the coffee toffee tasted freezer burned, the texture was not smooth. Fiancé got salted caramel which was really good! Would come back to try other flavors, but wasn't blown out of the water by this place. read more

Ice cream is good not great! Prices are high and service is slow!!! I drove 20 mile for Gelato, they don't have it anymore. Richardson is much better read more

Came in here today with my daughter the service was good got everything I ordered in a timely fashion. I was walking out when I noticed they had Girl Scout cookies I asked if I can purchase a box or two they told me it was strictly for there ice cream mixtures so I said okay and left. I had told my Caucasian friend since he loves them so he went to try his luck 15-20 minutes after I left and they sold him 2 boxes with no problem even took off the taxes I'm of Hispanic decent u can make ur own assumptions of this place but I definitely will not return read more

I love Mad Maggie's! Rich and creamy texture, a wide selection of flavors, include seasonal flavors. Last time I went I had two of the fall seasonal flavors, pumpkin gingerbread and vanilla cinnamon, both of which were delicious. I also really enjoy the mint chocolate chip, black raspberry chip, and double dark chocolate cookie flavors. Customer service is always great. When I brought my dog the employee there asked if he wanted a doggie sundae (vanilla yogurt with a dog treat). My dog liked that. I'm not sure if they have any lactose-free/non-dairy options besides sorbet, so if you can't have dairy then your options are limited here. As of last week the indoor area is closed due to COVID-19 so you can only order by walking up to the window. There is some outdoor seating right outside the shop. read more

Sad Treadwell's is gone. This Maggie's place serves ice milk. Bensons in Boxford is still open, but sadly they have tripled their prices. read more

Decided to order an ice cream cake for a change ( with several birthdays in a row) we were caked out). The ice cream cake was fabulous and nicely decorated. The whole family loved it. The staff was nice, upbeat and helpful especially with a food allergy issue. I've been going to Mad Maggie's ever since it first opened for ice cream cones and it's always been top quality and a wonderful selection of flavors. Will defiantly get Ice cream cakes in the future! read more

Ice creams texture is gluey and expensive! Not worth calories. I ended up throwing mine away I couldn't eat it!

I ordered a strawberry shortcake sundae today. I was watching the young woman make the treat through the window. I watched as she tried unsuccessfully to remove a white cap from the stainless steel whip cream dispenser. She then put the dispenser up to her mouth, and placed the cap into her mouth, and then using her teeth, she removed the cap. Totally GROSS! I told the gentleman who seemed to be in charge of the group working the window, and his response to me was "that was not OK". He did not seem particularly and adequately concerned regarding the very unclean and disgusting practice of his fellow employee. Where is the restaurant inspector when you need him?!?!?!?! I will try to seek out the owner. Maybe the owner will have some better training about food service for his employees. Just disgusting! read more

a fantastic raspberry lime rickey!!! i will go out of my way to get one!!!!!!!! great place!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love these guys. In addition to having FABULOUS fresh made ice cream, their counter help are great! Always friendly, sometimes funny & efficient. Fun place to get outstanding ice cream read more

Mad Maggie's ice cream is the best ice cream you can ever have. If you decide to treat yourself, do it here! I go there all the time with my kids, and they LOVE it there! read more

My favorite ice cream place! The mint chocolate chip and the almond coconut fudge are both insanely good. The staff is always friendly and they're trained well in allergy awareness. We order their custom ice cream cakes for birthdays and they never disappoint! read more

Their ice cream is some of the best north of Boston. We drive 40 minutes to get here because the ice cream is absolutely fantastic and the service is always consistent and done with a smile. Don't miss the huge bell in the vestibule of the building that you ring if you were happy with your ice cream. Something that makes for a great tradition everytime you come. Their ice cream is creamy and loaded with flavor. If you love chocolate chip like I do, their base vanilla is outstanding, then it's packed with just the right size, top quality, dark chocolate chips. A must if you're a fan. Then there's also their black raspberry chocolate chip, OMG, it'll take you to Heaven and back. Some of their flavor combinations will have you in deep thought but once you take the plunge you'll be happy you did. Let me share that I'm a huge ice cream snob so it has to be awesome to get me to come! Happy scoops everyone! read more

Great tasting ice cream. However with COVID the quality isn't as much there anymore. I ordered cookie dough ice cream and got 2 tiny pieces of cookie dough. Really? and for $5.50? read more

Place has all the usual suspects when it comes to flavors including chocolate, vanilla, black raspberry, rum raisin, etc. They also have there own unique flavors including my new favorite, oatmeal brown sugar. The people are super nice and there are a ton of options even beyond ice cream. read more

Omg. Their ice cream cakes are SO GOOD. I got one for my husband's birthday. Salted caramel and candy store floor flavor combo. It is unbelievably good. We all loved it. Having another piece as I type this. Highly recommend!! read more

3.5 stars I guess the one good thing about eating at Joe Fish (http://www.yelp.com/biz/joe-fish-north-andover#hrid:ARNnN5CibHq8T2OqpzodiA) was passing by this place. I knew exactly where I was going to have dessert after! I think they were about to close but let my coworker and I come in. They were very nice and patient with me. I wanted to try everything they had! I tried the coffee oreo (I guess Boston has a thing for oreo), North Andover maple walnut, double dark chocolate, banana pudding, and coffee and donuts. All were very delicious. It wasn't as creamy as Christina's but better than JP Licks in my opinion. I ended up with the scoop of the double dark chocolate. It was very smooth and the richness reminded me of Dove's dark chocolate. I also liked the banana pudding with the chunks of vanilla wafers in it. I liked it but had to compare it to the banana cream pie ice cream I had in LA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/handels-homemade-ice-cream-and-yogurt-redondo-beach#hrid:tLObussIUchGj4GsjrEKhA) and thought it was pretty good. It was a happy ending to what was a 'blah' meal and Joe fish. So far my ice cream list in Boston: 1. Christina's 2. Mad Maggie's 3. JP Licks My next trip I hope to try Richardson's and Toscanini's to complete the list. read more

Incredible variety of delicious ice cream flavors. The chocolate ice cream frappes are my favorite. Courteous staff. Dine in if it rains or sit outside when it is sunny and watch small single-engine airplanes land at the local Lawrence Municipal airport. read more

Love this ice cream however quality is diminished over the last 2 years. As an example the chips in the black raspberry have become sparse! Not as great as it use to be! 2 chips in a large ice cream is too sparse! I know ingredients are expensive at about $5 a cone I should get at least 10 chips, you use to overload them now you hardly add them! read more

I was riding with friends from Haverhill taking a group of us out for ice cream. I was thinking, "This is a fairly long drive, and we've passed other places. So this place must be good." It was. It has a great blend of atmosphere and ice cream, and even gelato! The ice cream flavors are a variety of basic and more interesting or complex. Their signs say they make all their own ice cream, and the available flavors will change from time to time. I opted for a 2-scoop cone of more "complicated" flavors, one scoop each of their Mad Moose and Massachusetts Mud. The latter is really quite appealing to me - a base of coffee ice cream, dark chocolate, almonds, caramel, and a hint of cinnamon! I've only had ice cream with a hint of cinnamon at 2 parlors, both in Massachusetts. I'm going to look for it more often. Another person had Maple Walnut and also Pumpkin Gingersnap, another interesting set of flavors which worked well together. They have outdoor and indoor seating, both adequate and very clean. Indoors has a lot of tables which can be moved around to set up for larger groups. The gelato case is indoors. The rest rooms are clean and spacious. They also have a small but fun set of T-shirts you can buy. They're not quite as amusing as the really fun ones by the Cows Ice Cream folks in Canada, but the best I've seen in this area. read more

What is there to say. The ice cream, full menu of products and service are fantastic as always. Had a craving and they were able to satisfy it. My favorite "go to". read more
