I grabbed a kid sized cup of vanilla with cookie dough - it was $5.87 with the tip. The girl at the counter was super nice and we chatted for a bit.

Kennedy's is the real deal: a Melrose gem…read more I took my two sons to Kennedy's for the first time recently, and I can already tell this is going to become a weekly tradition. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was exactly what you want from a neighborhood ice cream shop: friendly, unpretentious, and completely focused on making great ice cream. The star of my visit? The Nutella Stackable. I almost went with something safer, but I'm so glad I didn't. Layer after layer of rich, velvety Nutella ice cream, it was indulgent in the best possible way and tasted like they somehow captured the essence of Nutella and made it even better. My boys were eyeing it the entire time, which is the highest compliment I can give. Speaking of the boys, they were immediately at home here. The staff was patient and cheerful while two excited kids deliberated for what felt like forever, and the portions were generous enough that everyone left completely satisfied. No small feat with those two. Kennedy's has the feel of a place that's been done right: quality ingredients, a welcoming atmosphere, and people behind the counter who clearly take pride in what they're serving. Melrose is lucky to have it!

The prices are on the higher side for a local spot and they appear to serve Gifford's and a variety of ice cream products from different suppliers. The variety is worth the visit if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. It's a busy shop, expect a line especially on weekends. My main complaint was how long it took to order, I came in with a friend and there were 3 groups in front of us but we waited 25 minutes. I understand it was busy but they seemed short staffed having to juggle the walk up window and the line inside the shop.

Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. They have 4 sizes to pick from with the smallest being essentially half a scoop if you just need a little something to fulfill your sweet tooth. I also appreciated the fact that they wrapped my cup with tin foil so my hands would not get too sticky from dripping.

The Coffee Oreo that I got had a good mix of ice cream and sizeable Oreo chunks. The staff was nice and we got our ice cream quickly since it wasn't busy. Only downside is them using styrofoam for the cups, which is a throwback in a probably not environmentally-friendly and also flimsy way. Otherwise, no complaints!

There were so many ice cream flavors, coffee floats, Italian ice, an ice cream flight, and other fun options to choose from! It quickly became our favorite spot. Unfortunately, it also quickly became a spot we won't be going to anymore. They keep changing what their vibe/brand is. Since opening less than a year ago, they've been three things. They've also changed their hours but not updated it with Google, so we had shown up several times when they were "open" to find they were actually closed. This was such a disappointment. They also posted to their social media stating "Saturday nights" at 6:30 pm, with people in the video, giving the impression they were open when they actually close at 5pm on Saturday? This is misleading and confusing. The menu has changed drastically a few times, with no more Italian ice, way less ice cream flavors, and no more fun ice cream options. We'd love to see them go back to their original vibe/brand and hours, but that seems unlikely.
