This was some of the best ice cream I've ever had. It was so creamy and delicious- I still can't stop thinking about it weeks later. There are a ton of flavors and the little walk up window is super cute. Definitely recommend especially after a beach day! read more

White Farms Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ipswich, Massachusetts

With only three cars in the parking lot on a warm summer's eve that should have been a warning to not waste my time. No idea if the ice cream is any good as not one the four people leaning on the ice cream freezers behind the counter could be bothered to come to any of the windows to take the order of their only customer. Gave it a couple of minutes and they then had no customers as I left. A car pulled in as I was pulling out. Hope they had better luck. read more

My daughter's favorite ice cream place. All homemade and very clean and yummy tasting. Got quarts to take home. Pint is just over $8 and a quart almost ten. Unusual flavors. Mocha chip had tons of big chips in it. Only one worker there and she packed the pints quickly and generously. Was super Ty! read more

Sorry to say, Whites is not what it used to be. We have been going to White's in Ipswich for over 15 years. It has always been worth the drive to enjoy their product. Quality of the ice cream is still very good but noticed over the last 3 visits over 4 weeks. Anything with Choc Chips ...the chips are noticeably missing from the past. Portion sizes are inconsistent depending on which "young" worker is serving but the servers are very pleasant. Prices are the prices but when paying these prices I expect I I have always gotten over the years....I tried to call several times to express this but no one would answer the phone...hopefully they haven't decided to lessen White's experience because of the cost of the ingredients...because a White's ice cream is not cheap...and never has been the low cost creamery but in the past the experience was worth the cost and the drive.... read more

First time there, very good ice cream . Had our ice cream in a home made waffle cone. It's expensive but good. A kiddie come $7.00 dollars each. But you can sit outside the they have a lot of flavors of hard ice cream and soft serve. Which I like like. read more

Excellent ice cream, a very large amount of flavors including many I've never seen anywhere else, and the amount of ice cream in a cone or cup is at least twice as much as you'd receive elsewhere. read more

Was very crowded so wait times to get orders filled were long. They could've have used at least a couple more servers. We understand the challenge of course. And it didn't reduce the appeal of the terrific ice cream. read more

Solid place for ice cream that just opened for the season. They were more than happy to give us a sample of one of the flavors we were interested in. They had most of the flavors when we visited at the beginning of April. I got a kiddie cookie dough and thought it was very well made. The ice cream was super creamy and the cookie dough was soft (I find that a lot of cookie dough in ice cream is too hard). The sizes run on the large side so be ready to share! read more

Love the product. However, I hope the inside is cleaner than the outside. I have a simple idea.....power wash. The cement was nasty with bits of paper, napkins, food and even a dirty bandaid. Even a daily sweep would make it look better. The wall below could use a scrub. The window sill itself was just grody. Why 2 stars instead of 3......because I commented on this last year and nothing has seemed to change read more

You know homemade ice cream from the first lick... it was delicious and not too sweet. Interestingly it was as pricey as Chicago for a single scoop. read more

3.5/5 stars I checked out his place today after a bike ride and was excited by the flavor selection (and the fact that the flavors are homemade). I got a small- which is two scoops & enabled me to try two flavors. There's a large parking lot with plenty of parking spots. One of the flavors was Outrageous, which was supposed to have chocolate cookies (or brownies) in it. However I found one little piece and then it was basically just chocolate ice cream. If I had wanted plain chocolate it would have been great, but that's not what I wanted. 1/5. The second labor was chocolate raspberry truffle. This was amazing! Chocolate raspberry base with chocolate raspberry truffles and chocolate chunks. 5/5. Prices were higher than I was expecting and it is cash only (there's an atm there if you don't have cash). Overall I would go back, but would ask for samples to make sure the flavors actually matched the description. I was there shortly before closing and it seemed like at least one of the employees (the one helping us) was ready to get out of there, so I didn't feel like I could ask for samples. read more

Great ice cream. Different flavors and nice outdoor space it has been years since over. Here but the quality is still tops

crazy flavors nowhere to sit unless you want to sit in the sun good ice cream good service read more

I really wanted to love this place but I thought it was good. I really just wanted a chocolate vanilla twist this summer because I haven't had one all summer and I was very heartbroken to find out when I got to the order window that their soft serve machine was broken. A lot of the flavors looked really sweet and I wanted to try the mint Oreo flavor but I asked the person who scoops the ice cream and it turns out they use a lot of food dye and I just wasn't in the mood for like a bunch of green food dye. I tried the vanilla brownie instead and the ice cream was inconsistently smooth with a lot of icy crystals and the brownie was very oily cakey too much too big. I also ordered a small and it was a huge cone. I wish ice cream places would make a small a small small again. If they had had like a peanut butter based flavor I would have liked to try that but they didn't it just seemed like a lot of candy mix-ins flavors. read more

Service is very friendly and portions are huge, however the ice cream itself will likely disappoint anyone used to real tastes and ingredients. The custard flavor tastes like it's made with a powdered mix; the rum raisin has never seen rum; the banana doesn't taste quite legit either. The cherry vanilla is made with maraschino cherries, and overwhelmingly sweet. Great location on the causeway, though, plenty of parking, and if you pile a bunch of toppings on, it may not be so underwhelming. read more

So good! My husband and I loved the coffee reo and mocha almond chip and even took a pint home with half and half.

Such a generous portion in a quart! They packed it tight and the lid didn't even fit. The caramel cow was a hit for everyone. We had a bowl of mint chocolate chip and key lime too. Highly recommend this little gem. read more

Place looks very run down, the signs and ordering area are falling apart. The staff were nice but this place was advertised to have a bathroom and it didn't. Got s'mores ice cream that tasted funky so I stopped eating it. It gave me food poisoning. Unless you think having ice cream at this exact spot is worth getting sick, don't come here. read more

Surprisingly that I love this place. I'm super picky with ice cream. My favorite are Bubbling Brooke in Westwood, MA and another small store in Rockport. I have not had any other places that came close until the White Farms Ice Cream! I had 4 flavors and they all were very good. I had Oreo Hot Fudge Sundae kids size which was the perfect size to not get sugar overload. The chocolate chip is as good as Glifford Chocolate Chip flavor. It has a lot of big chunk of square chocolate. The chocolate chip caramel had the right sweetness. I thought it was going to be too sweet but not at all. I also love the vanilla brownie. There were a lot of huge brownie chunk and they were soft. Will definitely come here every time I'm in the area. read more

The fact it has been voted one of the Top 5 ice cream destinations in all of New England is not surprising at all. Clearly exceptional and worth a long ride if necessary. They have added a decent mini golf course but it's all about the ice cream here. The quality of each item is great and they give old fashioned - prehistoric sized - portions. The signs say that the banana split can feed a family. It's true. The prices are very very reasonable. I can't understand how they stay in business! read more

This is apparently my summer of ice cream. It's been very hot and humid so that's my excuse. I haven't been to this location in probably two years. We were returning from eating out in Salisbury when my mother got an ice cream craving. There was no line so we stopped. I liked that they had socially distancing in full effect and the woman who served us had a mask on. They have tons of flavors. Recently, I discovered key lime as a flavor and was thrilled to see they had it. It was a bit too heavy on the graham cracker portion but otherwise had a great unique taste and was very filling and refreshing. My mother decided to go the boring route and got vanilla. She didn't really like it and reported it tasted a bit chalky. No idea what might have caused that but she'll definitely get a better flavor next time. I recommend the key lime pie as it's the best flavor I've had in forever. read more

Two stars... The regular size hat fudge sundae was the smallest hot fudge sundae I've ever seen. Also, "cash only". Really? I saw a party of eight go up to window, look at the sign, and walk away. They lost a good amount of business with that group. There is a cash machine however there are fees. Disappointing. read more

Ice cream taste okay was not a fan of the hot fudge. Wish I had just ordered a regular ice cream instead of a Sunday the sizes were good for the amount of $$. read more

Came here today and the older woman working was clearly annoyed to be serving people. They have about 25 soft serve flavors listed but apparently don't have soft serve? When I looked at the menu again to change our order she sighed heavily. Later while we were sitting and talking with other patrons a young boy, maybe 8 years old, scored a hole in one on mini golf on the last hole. The prize is a free cone. And the same woman said because the machine was broken she couldn't confirm he did indeed get a hole in one and refused to give him the cone. An eight year old. C'mon lady. I know it was a hot day but it's ice cream. Summer has just begun, I can't imagine what she's going to be like at the end of August... Go a little further to Down River in Rowley, the employees there are always super nice and friendly. read more

This place is a five star slam dunk must go to ice cream destination. Homemade amazing ice cream. Huge menu, lots of option including their version of a blizzard. In my mind ipswich has the 2 best ice cream stands in the world, this being one. My daughter got the mint Oreo And it's a ten, so minty and so Oreo-ee. Other daughter got the mint chip, huge chunks of chocolate and a 10. Brings a tear tear to your eye. Just so good. Wife got the chocolate milk shake ... my wife is lactose intolerant.... yeah that's how good it is. The pain she endures for the amazing flavor and the hardships the rest of the family has to endure when the lactose ravages her GI.... wait for it, a flippin 10. White farms has a sterling reputation and is a booming business. You should go. So why the one star you might be asking? I can't wait for the ipswich Karen's to take a hot second to stop bitching about parking at pavilion beach or how it's really Cranes beach and slide into my DMs and explain how I am stupid. I'll tell you why I'm standing by my 1 Star ... I ordered the kiddie Reese's pieces. And guess what bitches, it wasn't Reese's pieces. You can't do that. It was some god awful shit knock off whose flavor profile could be best likened to a rabbit turd. Some where between bland and nothing with not an iota of peanut butter. Its a speed bump on my tongues journey to flavor town. And man do they put a lot in. Just turd after turd after turd. Those wonderful dyes bleeding into the ice cream is a nice value add and will probably give me canker soars. You dirty hucklebucks lied to me. I am both poor and struggling with my weight so when my jiggly ass ponies up a saw buck some empty calories by ordering a kiddie Reese's pieces I expect mother f'ing Reese's pieces. Explain yourselves on this public forum. The public awaits. Why did you do this to me? PS. Wifey says I am awful to get ice cream with. Pfffff Don't know what her deal is. read more

Ice cream was fine as it's always been (have been coming here for almost 30 years), but the sizes seem to keep getting smaller and smaller. As of April 2019, this was what we got for the one scoop size, which is now up to $4.25. Seems incredibly high for just about half the size it's always been. Not planning to go back anytime soon. read more

Visited here this past Friday and could not have been more disappointed with the service and lack of knowledge with the staff regarding allergies. I kindly asked if they had any gluten free or dairy free options as I have severe food allergies and the girl stared at me blank with zero expression saying "I don't know". I then asked if she had an allergy list I could see and she again said "I don't know". No expression or care what so ever and looked absolutely miserable. I am an adult so was fine leaving with no ice cream but can't imagine if a child was told "I don't know" if they could have anything. Allergies are an extremely common and important part of a food business and I suggest you educate your staff on the severity of allergies as well as making customers feel welcome. I have never been to an ice cream place who didn't have any clue about allergens so will absolutely not be returning here! read more

Delicious, creamy ice cream But the ATM was down & we didn't know it was a cash only place. When we scrounged our last bit of cash together, we split a small and asked for an extra cup. "That is not allowed" was their response. Really?! That left a bad taste in our mouth, for sure. I guess I'll stick to Richardson's in Middleton from now on. read more

They have an awesome variety of ice cream flavors and toppings. They have great service. We love sitting at the picnic tables in the summer to have our treats. read more

Grrrreat mocha almond chip and chocolate walnut ice cream. Super-wicked creamy! Lost a star cuz I only got 1 almond in an enormous "kid's size" serving. But huge chunks of chocolate & lush mocha flavor. My sis said her choco walnut serving had lots of chopped walnuts & a good amount of chocolateyness - not cloying or too sweet. We raved about the ice cream as we noshed, flying up 128 after a grand beach day out. Totally recommend & I'm def going there again. A kiddie size was $4.50 I think. And it's on RT 133 just outside of downtown Gloucester, or on the way to 133. read more

Ice cream and mini golf. What a great combination. After our dinner in Kittery we sought out White Farms for dessert. The location on the Ipswitch line was easy to find and at 8:00 pm on a Thursday, not crowded. The youth behind the counter were attentive and allowed us into the closed part of the business to use the ATM and rest rooms. This is a cash only business so plan accordingly. First the mini golf. Playing a round while camping with the cousins has become an annual tradition. This course is well maintained but not super challenging or visually engaging. The course is also in desperate need of mosquito mitigation. I got bit 10 times in the first 5 minutes. Wear bug repellent. But the ice cream is the thing. After our round of spirited golf we got our dessert. WOW!! The sign says 10 best and boy o boy do they deliver. Smooth, creamy super flavorful and HUGE!! I got some cocojamocha flavor and my mouth is watering thinking about it. Teagan got chocolate raspberry truffle. Delicious. The small is probably close to a pint of ice cream. On a cone!!!! The prices are reasonable. The tables needed some attention while we were there. The trash cans were overflowing. Overall I strongly recommend White Farms for the ice cream. I am sad it is 3 hours away. The mini golf less. It would not hold a young child's attention. Our 14 year olds got pretty bored about 1/2 way through. read more
