WOW! I could not believe the line on a Saturday in January. They must be doing something right, and they were! Sooo many choices for everyone. The caramel sea salt ice cream was amazing. Can't wait to go back to try more! Nicest staff while being so busy.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Flynn · Aug 2025

Had the pleasure of stopping by today! Fantastic menu...Abundance of flavors! I couldn't decide whether to get soft serve or hard ice cream. The girl behind the counter saw that look on my face, so she asked if trying a sample would help. Wow! The pistachio soft serve stood out! It was smooth & creamy! I even got the chocolate dip on it! Her kindness & patience was a memorable experience. I'll be sure to stop by when I'm in the area again!

Wanted to go here for the first time since moving to Melrose. Arrived at 8:40pm, doors were locked, open sign was on, store hours clearly stated close 9pm, employees just staring at me and another couple outside who were interested in the shop. Not sure why doors would be close that early, should consider changing store hours to 8:30p if doors lock at a certain time.

Stopped by Kennedy’s Ice Cream Bar after finishing lunch at Liberty Bell. The gentleman I spoke with, John, I assume is the owner. I ordered a coffee and chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious. Their selection of ice cream is plentiful. I highly recommend stopping by if you like to support small businesses. We will be back to try the ice cream and upload pictures of what we order.
