Customer Reviews
I’d say overall this place is decent. You can only pay with card if your purchase is over $10, so I had to buy something additional. Portion sizes were okay in comparison to other locations I’ve been in the area paired with pricing. I tried their maple, it was just okay, seemed a bit dull in terms of the “maple taste,” but I still enjoyed it regardless, because who doesn’t love icecream. Next time I return, I’ll have to try their hard serve to see if I enjoy it better. In addition, the line was long, wait wasn’t too bad, but they only used one window with multiple workers inside.
What is not to love about this ice cream spot! Prices are low and size is large! My favorite soft serve spot with lots of parking and outdoor seating. Very friendly owners and love chatting with Nick anytime I visit! If you are looking for a new quality ice cream spot to check out I would highly recommend it! One note: bring cash as there is a $10 limit for using a card for payment!
Staple of north of Boston experience. Try other ice cream shops but this one hits right for atmosphere. Fun servers, often baseball teams, and plenty of outdoor seating. Try the maple soft serve or trad. Sundae. Always worth the wait.
Disapointed with quality of the soft serve. Been a customer for years. I felt compelled to write this review. Today, the quality of the soft serve was poor. It was much more like McDonald's than Dairy Queen. We had chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Less flavor and more of an icy texture. I understand costs are up, but I'd rather pay a little more than get less quality. Won't be back.
I went to dandylion tonight (may) and I have not been there for years I always loved going and the soft serve was always great. They used to have soft serve yogurt too, i have to check on that for later. Tonight was a great night to go get an ice cream I got a soft serve vanilla in a cup with crunch coat I would have given this rating a 5 stars but the crunch Coat was absolutely stale and rock hard it was inedible. The crunch had literally turned rock hard and absolutely impossible to eat. (Stale?) ILL STICK TO JIMMIES IF I GO BACK. (* I wish companies gave out coupons or something when someone gives a review.)
