Best Ice Cream in New England: Roadfood's Search

Yes, we did visit Kimball Farms...and could not believe their HUGE portions! All 50 places just simply couldn't fit in the short article above! For the full list, check out www.roadfooddigest.com and click on The Best New England Ice Cream!

We used to swear that Ashley's Coffee Oreo was quite possibly the greatest single scoop of ice cream ever made, so we certainly hear you! After visiting so many ice cream shops around New England though, it still ranks highly but just isn't at the very top of our list.

The best part of doing the ice cream tour was finding out all of these additional suggestions from everyone! We are hoping to visit a bunch more (in a less formal sort of way!) in the future!

Great food places smell good. If they do not, walk out. I walked out of Herrell's without ordering. If there had been no other ice cream in Cambridge, I would have ordered, but I'm not a masochist.

I agree with Ashley's and Christina's - been to both. I had Avocado Ice cream at Christina's. It was 6 years ago and I still remember it. My best friend had wasabi ice cream? I forget, it was something really strange but just delicious.

I have to say I loved Steve's Ice Cream in its hay day (I was in college in those days) and Herrell's is very good (basically the same thing and owned by the same guy - Steve Herrell).

What about Arctic Ice Cream in New London??? I think it was. My husband has a friend who lives near New London and took us there a few summers back and I had 2 flavors of ice cream. It was wonderful ice cream. The texture was great, the flavors were OOTW.

Considering that the Ben & Jerry's factory was the official B&J post, I would think they would've counted it. That factory was built way before they were a commercial interest.

When they do a report on ice cream in the South, I've got 3 places to comment on (just got back from vacation in North Carolina).

Tubby's has had "yellow butter brickle road" on their menu cosistantly for four years. If any one is being a copy cat it's Ben & Jerrys. If you try it you will swear it's made with real butter. I enjoy Tubby's for the homemade hot fudge, butterscotch and all of their toppings, as well as the ice cream. It is a great destination, and is always very clean. I'd stack them up to any one for quality, as well as variety.

Kimballs isn't in Bedford, it's in Westford and Carlisle.

Did anybody else notice that Tubby's has an almost identical flavor "yellow butter brickle road" to this new Ben & Jerry's "goodbye yellow brickle road" flavor?

North Street Dairy Cone, Waterville, Maine! We did a tour of New England a year ago and sought out great ice cream. This was definitely on the A list.

I'm glad they came to Lizzy's here in Waltham, MA, but I'm disappointed that they only gave it 3 out of 5 scoops. IMHO it's vastly superior to Herrell's. Perhaps they need to try some different flavors than the ones they had. I'd recommend the Maple Walnut, the Black Raspberry and, most importantly, the Chocolate Orgy.

@daniell719 and butterface - Kimball's? Really? I think Brigham's is better than Kimball's. (Also, it's definitely not in central Mass! Bedford's still considered metro-Boston....)

@JayFallon - When Steve's closed, they were handing out all their old signs and equipment - I still have the wooden "Junior Mints" sign from their flavors board! Tear.

I was talking about Maine, to specify.

What about Kimball Farm Ice Cream in Carlisle, Mass?! Their ice cream is so good, and it looks like the Roadfooders sampled it. That's their cup in the bottom center of the pictures above. Did it just not fit in the article?

Glad they got in Dr. Mike's in Bethel, CT (there's also another location in Monroe). The chocolate lace is amazing, although I have the worst—or best, depending on how you see it—bomb of a food coma. Definitely stick with a child's serving, as it's more than enough...

I've also got to mention the Creamery in Newtown, CT. Apt name for sure. ;)
